Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) came out to the field for Friday's practice, which is an encouraging sign that he will return to action this Sunday to face the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Jackson has been limited in the last two practices and is dealing with a left-ankle injury that has caused him to miss the last two games. Backup Tyler Huntley has played well in Jackson's absence, but after losing a close battle to the division-rival Cleveland Browns last week, the Ravens look ready to bring the two-time MVP back for a big game against Cincinnati. The 29-year-old could be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but all signs continue to point to Jackson returning this weekend. If he is active on Sunday, Jackson will be a must-start in all fantasy football leagues against the Bengals. The four-time Pro Bowler has thrown for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception in four games this year, adding 144 rushing yards and one touchdown with his legs.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back Josh Jacobs is "on track to play" on Sunday in the Week 7 divisional showdown on the road against the Detroit Lions as long as he gets through Friday's practice and continues to trend in the right direction, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. After a legal battle kept Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list for the first six weeks of the 2026 season, the 28-year-old was reinstated on Monday and had his first full practice with the team on Thursday. Jacobs is trying to get his legs under him in order to make his season debut this weekend against the Lions. It looks like he will be active on Sunday, but fantasy managers have to wonder if the Packers will ease him back into a backfield that also includes MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson. The former first-rounder by the Raiders in 2019 from Alabama is a three-time Pro Bowler and the unquestioned lead back in Green Bay after finding the end zone a whopping 28 times over the last two seasons while also rushing for over 1,000 yards in his first season with the team in 2024. If Jacobs is officially active in Detroit, he should be considered an RB2 right away for fantasy purposes.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren (groin) is still not practicing on Friday, according to Jake Arthur of Sports Illustrated. Warren popped up on the team's injury report last Saturday with a groin injury and did not play in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Tennessee Titans. With a full week of missed practices, it seems like only a matter of time before the Colts rule the talented pass-catching tight end out for a second straight game this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. Veteran Mo Alie-Cox caught a touchdown pass on his only target of the game last Sunday against the Titans, but fantasy managers should be looking to avoid Indy's TE situation if Warren misses another game against Minnesota. The 24-year-old former 14th overall pick in 2025 from Penn State is a TE1 in fantasy when he is active, catching 30 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns in five games so far this year. If he is ruled out again this weekend, Warren's next chance to play will be in a Week 8 divisional clash on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (back) was limited in practice all week but has been cleared from the final Week 7 injury report and will play in Paris on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara tweaked his back in the Week 6 win over the New York Giants but ended up returning to the game and finished with seven carries for 34 yards while adding two receptions on four targets for 35 yards and his first receiving touchdown of the 2026 season. Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) will miss at least one more game while on Injured Reserve, so this could be the 31-year-old veteran's last game with an elevated workload in New Orleans' backfield. Kamara has been a shell of his former self so far this year in his 10th year in the league, and the five-time Pro Bowler is not much more than an RB3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 7, even with Etienne sidelined for another game. Kamara's healthy status will also make Kendre Miller a less attractive flex option in deeper fantasy setups this weekend. Kamara is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry for 120 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 35 carries through five games, adding 15 catches for 76 yards and another score.
