Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) practicing in full Wednesday

Fantasy Impact: Taylor has missed the past two weeks with a nagging ankle injury, but he should be gearing up to play this week. The Colts will welcome their top rusher back, and he will need to be heavily utilized in what should be a grind-it-out interdivisional tilt. Sitting at just one touchdown scored all season, JT will have a high chance of hitting pay dirt this week. He can be fired up as an RB1 without concern.
Saquon Barkley experiencing no shoulder issues

Fantasy Impact: Daboll stated that Saquon has no issues with his shoulder after injuring it in London. He was seen favoring it, but it sounds like there was no aggravation. Saquon has been excellent this season and comes into Week 7 as the RB3 overall and in points per game. He should be all systems go for this weekend, but fantasy managers should pay attention to the final injury report later this week anyways. Saquon is the RB1 in ECR for Week 7.
Rashod Bateman (foot) returns to practice Wednesday

Fantasy Impact: After missing the past couple of weeks, John Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman was “close” to returning so his return to practice is a positive sign. He will need to continue to practice to have a chance of returning to the field this weekend.
PJ Walker to remain the Panthers starter in Week 7

Fantasy Impact: Walker was removed from the game this past weekend late due to a concussion, but it appears he cleared all protocols. The Panthers designated Sam Darnold (ankle) to return from IR while Baker Mayfield is still sidelined due to his ankle injury. Walker should only be considered in deep 2-QB or superflex leagues this weekend.
