Broncos RB Tyler Badie exits Thursday’s win with thumb injury

Oct 16, 2026

Tyler Badie is OUT with a thumb injury

Related Players: J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman

Fantasy Impact:

If Badie misses Week 7, Harvey would become a more appealing PPR FLEX option with additional passing-down work available. Dobbins remains the stronger volume-based RB2 option after handling 20 touches Thursday. Coleman is also a stash candidate in most standard or deep leagues.

Caleb Williams questionable; Kyle Monangai ruled out against Atlanta

Chicago listed Caleb Williams questionable for Sunday’s game against Atlanta after another full practice Friday. Williams is working back from a hamstring injury and has not been confirmed as the starter. Kyle Monangai was ruled out with thumb and toe injuries.

Related Players: Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum, D’Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet

Fantasy Impact:

Williams would return to QB1 consideration if cleared, but managers need a backup until Chicago confirms his availability. His return would also improve the outlook for Burden, Odunze, and Loveland. Monangai’s absence strengthens Swift’s RB2 appeal and creates a path to a larger workload. Johnson is a deeper FLEX possibility, with his value depending on how Chicago divides the remaining touches.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice ruled out against Chargers

Chiefs

Kansas City ruled Rashee Rice out for Sunday’s game against the Chargers with hamstring and knee injuries. Rice did not practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Worthy becomes a stronger WR2/WR3 play with Rice’s targets available, while Kelce remains a clear TE1. Royals and Allen enter deeper-league FLEX consideration, but neither is assured a large enough share to become a comfortable starter. Mahomes remains usable, although losing Rice makes Kansas City more dependent on its remaining playmakers.

DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown cleared for Week 6

Eagles

DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks practiced fully Friday and carry no injury designation against Carolina.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith offers WR3 value with WR2 upside if he resumes his usual role, although McKee’s first start adds uncertainty. Wicks becomes a more volatile FLEX with Smith and Brown available to compete for targets. Lemon, Cooper and Brown are difficult to trust in standard-sized leagues with the receiving room healthier. Goedert remains a reasonable tight end streaming option.
