Buccaneers WR Mike Evans expected to return to practice Thursday

Oct 16, 2025

Mike Evans is expected to return to practice today for the Bucs.

Fantasy Impact:

This is no guarantee that Evans will be ready for Week 7, but it sure would put a damper on some of the waiver claims for Shepard and the Johnsons earlier this week. Regardless, this would be a nice boost for Baker Mayfield, and would have Evans managers feeling better for a healthy second half of the season.

Rams WR Puka Nacua misses Wednesday practice

Rams WR Puka Nacua didn’t practice today due to his ankle injury.

Related Players: Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell

Fantasy Impact:

Nacua seems like a stretch to play Week 7, which pushes Adams into fringe WR1 territory. Whittington and Atwell will be the most likely beneficiaries as secondary options, with the former offering a higher floor as a WR4 option.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray returns to Wednesday practice

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, who missed last week's game because of a foot injury, returned to practice today on a limited basis.

Related Players: Jacoby Brissett

Fantasy Impact:

The Cardinals' offense has (once again) looked pretty mediocre, even with Brissett throwing for 300+ yards last week. Murray obviously adds more with his legs, but the Packers defense could end up making either one of them a moderate fantasy play in Week 7.

49ers QB Brock Purdy, TE George Kittle to have limited Wednesday practice

Kyle Shanahan says QB Brock Purdy (toe) and TE George Kittle (hamstring) will return to practice today as limited participants.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Jake Tonges

Fantasy Impact:

Still early in the week, so we'll see if anything changes, but this is clearly a good sign. Even in a limited fashion, Kittle would be right back on the fantasy radar, while Purdy would have a pretty difficult return against a Falcons defense ranked third in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to the position.
