My Week 7 WR Rankings 🟢 Smash Starts 🔵 Solid Starts 🟡 Spot Starts 🟠 Fades 🔴 Avoids 🚑 Outs / Questionable There are a lot of WR situations worth tracking this week, so here’s what is currently shaping my board: 🔥 Matthew Golden / Christian Watson - Matt LaFleur said Green Bay has no concern about either Golden’s shoulder or Watson’s ankle keeping them out Sunday. I don’t have much more to add here: both are absolute must-starts for me. 🚑 Emeka Egbuka - this one came out of nowhere and is probably the most concerning WR situation of the week. He’s in the concussion protocol, is also dealing with a foot injury, and was working off to the side Thursday after missing Wednesday. The medical outlook per @Ribu18 : a concussion requires him to progress through each stage of the protocol before an independent neurologist clears him, and the added foot issue matters because every route break loads that foot. The optimistic path is limited work Thursday, a full practice Friday, then clearance Saturday. The less encouraging path is continued missed or limited work, which would likely push him toward Week 8. Right now, I’m leaning toward Egbuka missing Week 7, so I have him listed as out until we get something more positive from the team. 🚑 Jaylen Waddle - limited with a chest issue, but this doesn’t sound overly serious. I expect him to play. That said, I’m not starting him with much confidence right now. He’s more of a flex and hope he finally puts together a big week. 🔥 Justin Jefferson - limited with the same ankle issue he played through last week. This looks precautionary. Fire him up. ✅ Jordan Addison - already a full participant with the hamstring issue, so I expect him to play. I’m just not starting him with a ton of confidence this week. 👀 Caleb Douglas - back practicing on at least a limited basis and says he’s day-to-day. That’s encouraging after the ankle injury. Douglas showed real promise before going down, but I want more clarity on whether he’ll be limited before putting him back into my rankings. ✅ KC Concepcion / Denzel Boston - both played through similar issues last week and I expect both to suit up again. You can flex either if needed, but Boston is still the better play for me. 🚑 Deebo Samuel / Mike Evans - Deebo still isn’t expected to practice and I’d be surprised if we see him before Week 9 or 10. Evans is dealing with the Achilles issue, and honestly, if San Francisco is smart, I’d be cautious with him too. At 6-0, there’s no reason to rush him back and risk making this worse before the playoff run. 🔥 A.J. Brown - full participant and no injury designation. He’s playing, and with Romeo Doubs now on IR, I expect Brown to continue seeing the lion’s share of the targets. I also expect him to clean up the drops too. ✅ Rashod Bateman - practicing with the shoulder issue, so I expect him to play. I’m also very interested to see whether Baltimore continues expanding Ja’Kobi Lane’s role after what we’ve seen recently. 🚑 Rashee Rice - not practicing Wednesday with the hamstring. This is a big one. If he can’t get back on the field by Friday, another missed week becomes much more likely. If Rice sits again, Xavier Worthy moves back into the flex conversation. 👀 Adonai Mitchell - finally back practicing on a limited basis following the finger injury. He was playing really well before getting hurt, but now this Jets WR room is much messier after Omar Cooper Jr. flashed last week. I want to see whether Mitchell is actually active before ranking him. For now, Cooper remains a good flex option. There’s still plenty that can change before kickoff, especially with Egbuka and Rice.

My first thought was that Josh Jacobs would receive less than 16 touches in his first game back and that could absolutely still happen. However, when I looked at precedent, the last 3 notable RBs that came back from a suspension, outperformed expectations. Kamara in 2023- 24 touches Ingram 2018- 18 touches Zeke 2017- 28 touches Maybe we see a big Jacobs game right away.
