Carson Wentz will get Week 7 start, J.J. McCarthy to be emergency No. 3 QB

Oct 17, 2025

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell says Carson Wentz will start Sunday vs. the Eagles.

Max Brosmer will back him up and J.J. McCarthy, who is listed as questionable, will serve as the emergency No. 3 QB as he continues to work his way back from a high ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

Fire up the narrative game talk. Wentz is probably a little thin as a QB streaming option, but he's got a nice floor as a SuperFlex QB2.

49ers QB Brock Purdy, WR Ricky Pearsall officially Out Week 7

49ers ruled out QB Brock Purdy (toe) and WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) for Sunday night’s game against the Falcons.

49ers QB Mac Jones starts again.

Related Players: Kendrick Bourne, Jauan Jennings, Demarcus Robinson

Fantasy Impact:

We would've expected this to be Jauan Jennings weeks, but he's got a laundry list of ailments himself. Bourne can be considered a WR3, and if George Kittle ends up going, he should be locked into lineups as well.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. off the injury report ahead of Week 7

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr., who is in concussion protocol this week, is off the injury report and good to go Sunday versus the Packers.

Related Players: Zay Jones, Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch

Fantasy Impact:

MHJ will get Jacoby Brissett throwing him the ball this week, but it's arguable whether or not that's actually a downgrade from Kyler Murray. Consider Harrison a WR3 for Week 7.

Titans WR Calvin Ridley officially Out for Week 7

1 hour ago

Titans have ruled out WR Calvin Ridley for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots due to his hamstring injury.

Related Players: Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson, Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike

Fantasy Impact:

We could continue to see a little more run out of rookie Dike, but the real beneficiary here is classmate Ayomanor, who is a nice Flex option against a Patriots defense that ranks 27th in WR aFPA.
