Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Gus Edwards (knee) activated from PUP list

Fantasy Impact: There was some uncertainty as to whether the Ravens would activate Edwards, but they finally make the move ahead of week 7. J.K. Dobbins was placed on IR, so Edwards could be in for a sizeable role in the Ravens’ offense sooner than later. Still, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill are also likely to have roles in the running game, especially in Edwards’ first game back. A clearer picture of the Ravens’ running game may become clearer following their game against the Browns.
Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) questionable for Week 7

Fantasy Impact: Waddle logged limited practices all week but Mike McDaniel has remained optimistic that he will suit up. Because it’s a Sunday night game, fantasy managers have to be cautious and make sure they have other options on Sunday night or Monday night if Waddle is ruled out, such as widely-available receivers like Chase Claypool, DeVante Parker, or Tyquan Thornton. For now, however, expect Waddle to suit up this week, and consider him a borderline WR1 against a secondary that allows a ton of explosive plays.
Damien Harris removed from the injury report Saturday

Fantasy Impact: Harris will make his return for the Patriots after logging full practice sessions this week. Harris should likely be viewed as a flex option against Chicago and will likely split carries with Rhamondre Stevenson. Harris currently ranks as the RB51 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.
Russell Wilson ruled out for Week 7

Fantasy Impact: Wilson’s was stated to be a game-time decision, so this is not a surprise. Wilson was a limited participant in practice all week, which led to QB Brett Rypien seeing more first-team reps than usual. Rypien will draw the start against the Jets Sunday, which should lead to fantasy managers downgrading the Broncos’ pass catching options.
