Michael Thomas - WR

New Orleans Saints

Saints WR Michael Thomas (hamstring) is out for week 7 against Carolina.

Added Yesterday 4:13 pm (EST)

Field Yates on Twitter

This was expected after Thomas suffered a hamstring injury during practice this week. He hasn't played since Week 1. With Emmanuel Sanders on the COVID-19 list, the Saints have three healthy wideouts: Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris. That's it. That's the list. Austin Carr could be called up from the Saints practice squad for this week's game against Carolina. Smith should function as the Saints' WR1 against the Panthers. He's a low-end WR2 based on opportunity alone. Jared Cook could see more targets with Thomas and Sanders sidelined.

Z. Martin - OG

DAL

Cowboys RG Zack Martin (concussion) is out for Week 7 against Washington.

The Cowboys will be on their third-string left tackle, backup right tackle, backup right guard, and backup center. To make matters worse, they face a defense that's invested four first-round picks into the front seven. Good luck Andy Dalton. Martin could return Week 8.

J. Norman - DB

BUF

Bills CB Josh Norman (hamstring) is out for Week 7 against the Jets.

The Bills are banged up right now. CBs Levi Wallace and Norman are out, and Tre'Davious White did not practice Friday because of a back issue. At linebacker, Tyrel Dodson is out and Matt Milano is questionable after only getting in limited reps all week. Luckily, they play the Jets this week.

R. Woods - WR

Robert Woods (groin) did not practice Friday.

There's belief that Woods will still be able to play on Monday Night Football against the Bears, but Saturday's final injury report will fill us in. When healthy, Woods has operated as an underneath target in coach Sean McVay's run-heavy offense. Woods has maintained WR3 value despite the decreased volume of the entire offense.

A. Brown - WR

Bucs signed Antonio Brown to a one-year contract.

The final details of the contract have to be finalized and Brown must go through COVID-19 protocols, but Brown is eligible to play as soon as Week 9 according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown and Tom Brady have a relationship dating back years, and Tampa Bay is all in for a 2020 Super Bowl run. For fantasy, it will be difficult for Brown, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans to see sustained production unless Brady turns into a true MVP candidate for the rest of the season. Brown's upside, however, is undeniable, making him at least a WR3/flex option once he gets his feet wet in the new system. Mr. Big Chest will have to keep his head on straight to make this signing pay off.

A. Brown - WR

The Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson reports free agent Antonio Brown is expected to visit the Buccaneers Saturday.

The two sides are reportedly "highly motivated" to reach an agreement upon visiting. Brown has been heavily linked to the Seahawks dating back to the offseason but it's not surprising Tom Brady and the organization are looking to swoop in and reunite the two Hall of Famers the moment Brown's suspension comes to an end. No matter what happens Saturday, it sounds as if Brown will have a suitor the moment he's available to play.

M. Golden - LB

NYG

Cardinals acquired DE Markus Golden from the Cardinals in exchange for a 2021 sixth-round pick.

It's a move a seller would make as Golden, although he clearly wasn't a fit for DC Patrick Graham's scheme, had notched 1.5 sacks as a pass-rushing specialist to date. The Cardinals will take on his $3.65 million cap hit while the deal leaves behind $1.4 million in dead cap for New York. This move improves Arizona's third-down defense dramatically since the team is already fielding one of the better coverage units in the entire league.

Jaguars LB Myles Jack (ankle) is out for Week 7 against the Chargers.

Jacksonville linebackers have struggled mightily in coverage against tight ends and running backs when Jack has missed time this season. Hunter Henry could be in for a solid day against the Jaguars this week.
