Jerome Simpson OUT for Vikings

Tyler Badie is OUT with a thumb injury

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

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.

Jalen Nailor practiced on a limited basis Thursday, his first practice since suffering a concussion in Week 4 against Kansas City.

Related Players: Tre Tucker, Cody White, Dareke Young, Malik Benson, Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, Kirk Cousins

Nailor is worth monitoring in deeper leagues, but managers should wait for confirmed concussion clearance before considering him for a FLEX spot. His return would create more competition for the secondary receivers’ routes. Tucker remains the strongest Raiders WR option, while Bowers remains an elite TE1.

Tyjae Spears did not practice Thursday after participating on a limited basis Wednesday because of a knee injury. Tony Pollard returned to full participation after receiving a rest day Wednesday.

Spears’ downgrade puts his PPR FLEX availability in doubt. If he misses Sunday, Pollard would become a stronger RB2 play with a chance to absorb additional receiving work alongside his rushing workload. Chestnut will likely see a handful or two of snaps, but with the Titans' general offensive infrastructure, you should be able to find better options on your waiver wire.
