Tanner McKee stepped in for Hurts on Sunday and went 26-of-45 for 215 yards, one landing and 0 interceptions. He was capable of maintain DeVonta Smith (seven catches for 75 yards and a landing) and Dallas Goedert (six catches for 61 yards) afloat, so all hope will not be misplaced for the Eagles’ skill-position gamers. If something, the Eagles could be in additional trailing, pass-friendly recreation scripts shifting ahead.

Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin)
Washington Commanders working again Jacory Croskey-Merritt initially damage his groin in coaching camp and missed the workforce’s last two preseason video games, however he was capable of play by it as soon as the common season began. Nevertheless, he aggravated the damage within the Commanders’ Week 5 tie towards the New York Giants and missed their Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
It went from dangerous to worse on Monday, because the Commanders R, which suggests he’ll now miss no less than their subsequent 4 video games. Rachaad White took over as their lead working again towards the Niners, though the Commanders fell into an early deficit and by no means obtained their floor recreation on observe.
White is value a pickup if he’s accessible in your league’s waiver wire, nevertheless it’s arduous to have a lot religion in him in normal 10-team leagues. He’ll be a desperation flex possibility in 12-team leagues or deeper, although, notably in points-per-reception codecs.
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle)
Cleveland Browns working again Quinshon Judkins e throughout their Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, in line with head coach Todd Monken. He wound up lacking apply Wednesday and Thursday and obtained in a restricted apply Friday, which g heading into their Week 6 recreation towards the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. However after testing out his ankle in pregame warmups, he obtained dominated out.
With Judkins sidelined, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime cut up carries for the Browns. McLaughlin had 9 carries for a team-high 41 yards, whereas Estime had 9 carries for 19 yards. Quarterback Deshaun Watson additionally chipped in with eight carries for 29 yards.
If Judkins can’t return in Week 7, Dylan Sampson might additional muddy the Browns’ backfield. He’s been on injured reserve since struggling a knee damage within the season opener, however he obtained in two restricted practices final week. He’s value selecting up given Judkins’ unsure standing, notably in PPR leagues.
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle)
Arizona Cardinals rookie working again Jeremiyah Love has been coping with ankle accidents ever because the preseason. In keeping with e, he aggravated a left ankle damage “a few occasions” towards the New York Giants in Week 4, and making an attempt to play by it hasn’t helped.

Bam Knight had 15 carries for a team-high 80 yards within the Cardinals’ upset win over the Los Angeles Rams, whereas Tyler Allgeier had 18 carries for 38 yards. If the Cardinals determine to relaxation Love once more in Week 7, the extra explosive Knight seems to be the popular play over Allgeier.
Notable WR Accidents
49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles)
San Francisco 49ers huge receiver Mike Evans got here into Week 6 nursing each ribs and Achilles accidents, which had him questionable heading into Monday Night time Soccer. That wasn’t obvious early on towards the Commanders, as he erupted with three catches for 94 yards within the first half.
Nevertheless, Evans aggravated his damage after hauling in a 16-yard move shortly earlier than halftime. He was questionable to return at first, however the Niners dominated him out early within the third quarter, in line with ESPN’s r.
We probably received’t be taught the severity of the damage till Tuesday on the earliest. The truth that Evans was initially questionable to return maybe means that he didn’t tear his Achilles, nevertheless it wouldn’t be stunning if he misses time both means. That will be one other blow to the Niners’ injury-ravaged receiving corps, which is already lacking Deebo Samuel, De’Zhaun Stribling and Christian Kirk.

Shedding to the beforehand 1-4 Cardinals would have been dangerous sufficient for the Rams in Week 6. However on Monday, head coach Sean McVay s that veteran huge receiver Davante Adams suffered a hamstring damage late within the recreation that’s anticipated to sideline him for six to 10 weeks.
A supply informed ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that Adams “hopes to return on the entrance finish of the six- to 10-week timeframe, as near the post-Week 11 bye as attainable.” Both means, managers now must plan to not have Adams for many (if not all) of the remainder of the fantasy soccer common season.
In Adams’ absence, fellow wideout Puka Nacua will proceed to be peppered with targets. The Rams might lean extra closely on tight finish Tyler Higbee and working again Kyren Williams within the passing recreation, too. However Adams’ damage is a significant blow to the Rams, who at the moment are sitting at 2-4 after coming into the season because the Tremendous Bowl favorites.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (knee)
Mike Evans wasn’t the one star receiver who couldn’t end Monday night time’s recreation. Commanders huge receiver Terry McLaurin was carted off the sector with a knee damage late within the first quarter and was dominated out shortly thereafter.
Very like with Evans, we’d not get updates on McLaurin’s standing shifting ahead till the Commanders can do extra testing on Tuesday. However contemplating the character of his damage, fantasy managers ought to already begin making contingency plans.
Tight finish Chig Okonkwo led the Commanders with seven catches for 69 yards in McLaurin’s absence, whereas Treylon Burks had 4 catches for 66 yards earlier than getting shaken up late. Stefon Diggs (six catches for 44 yards and a landing) already shouldn’t be on waiver wires, however Antonio Williams (three catches for 50 yards) can be value a pickup if McLaurin’s damage proves to be critical.
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (concussion)
Ladd McConkey’s nightmarish begin to the season continued in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs. He was technically lively for his or her Week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos, though he by no means made it onto the sector on account of a foot damage.
McConkey was again in motion for Week 6, however he barely lasted one quarter. He wound up struggling a concussion towards the Chiefs and completed with just one catch for 17 yards.
With each McConkey and second-year wideout Tre’ Harris sidelined, Quentin Johnston had a team-high 57 receiving yards (on just one catch), whereas KeAndre Lambert-Smith doubled his profession reception complete by hauling in 5 catches for 32 yards.
The Chargers are on bye in Week 7, which provides McConkey extra time to get well from his concussion earlier than they’re again in motion towards the Rams in Week 8.
