Philadelphia Eagles RB Wendall Smallwood ruled questionable

Oct 06, 2017

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson relayed the message that Smallwood (knee) would not practice today, culminating in a week of DNPs.

Fantasy Impact:

If Smallwood is ruled out for the week it would leave the bulk of the carries to LeGarrette Blount, Corey Clement, and Kenjon Barner. We have Blount ranked as a top-26 option in both standard and PPR leagues this week, following his best game of the season in which he carried the ball 16 times for 136 yards (both season-highs).

Browns RB Nick Chubb is expected to make his season debut in Week 7 against the Bengals

Fantasy Impact:

Chubb returned to practice this week, over a year since tearing multiple ligaments in Week 2 of last season. Jerome Ford has held down the fort pretty well so far, averaging 5.2 yards per carry on 48 attempts. But if healthy, Chubb is one of the best backs in the league. The 1-4 Browns will try to right the ship against the Eagles before getting their star rusher back.

David Montgomery agrees to contract extension with Lions through 2027

The Lions and running back David Montgomery agreed to a contract extension that will keep the pair together through 2027.

Fantasy Impact:

Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs have formed one of the best running back duos in the league and this will keep that intact for a few more years. Monty is now tied to Detroit for at least three more seasons after this one. Monty has 271 yards on 63 carries with four touchdowns. He's been a key piece of the Lions offense since joining as a free agent before the 2023 season.
