Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell earned 12 opportunities in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns and should remain involved in another divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. With Jaylen Warren handling RB1 duties, Gainwell can't expect a heavy workload, but he could still make some noise for fantasy purposes. Cincinnati has struggled to contain opposing running backs both on the ground and through the air this season, surrendering the most fantasy points per game to the position. Gainwell doesn't need to be rostered in all redraft leagues, but he's a viable flex option in a pinch on Thursday night.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren returned from a knee injury in Week 6 and is set to be heavily featured against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Cincinnati has given up 10 total touchdowns to opposing running backs this season, tied for the most in the NFL. The Bengals have also allowed a running back to eclipse 85 scrimmage yards in every game this year. While Warren will cede some opportunities to Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson, he remains the most likely of the trio to reach that mark. With his ability to contribute both on the ground and as a weapon for Aaron Rodgers in the passing game, Warren profiles as an RB2 with plenty of upside on Thursday night.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring), who is still on Injured Reserve, returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers have designated Kittle to return from IR, which means they now have 21 days to officially activate him to return him to their 53-man active roster. It gives the 32-year-old Pro Bowl tight end a chance to return for a Week 7 date on Sunday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, but it doesn't mean it will actually happen. Fantasy managers are surely itching to get Kittle back into their starting lineups, but he's firmly up in the air to play this week. The 49ers would have to activate Kittle from IR by Saturday if they intend to play him on Sunday night. Kittle is a no-doubt TE1 in fantasy when he's active. If the Niners decide to wait another week to activate him, Jake Tonges would continue to have TE2 streaming appeal for one more week.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) put in a limited practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers are hoping that Purdy can put in more work at practice this week, which could potentially give him a chance to return to starting duties in Week 7 on Sunday Night Football against an improved Atlanta Falcons defense. Purdy suffered a turf-toe injury in Week 1 and missed Weeks 2 and 3. He then aggravated his toe injury in his return in Week 4 and hasn't played since. Backup Mac Jones (knee, oblique) has played well in Purdy's absence, but there's no question that Purdy is San Fran's starter when healthy. Purdy will likely need to put in a full practice to avoid a questionable tag this week. If he's able to return, he could be getting star tight end George Kittle (hamstring) back from Injured Reserve, too. In his two starts, Purdy has averaged 24.2 fantasy points, which ranks fourth among all QBs in 2025.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has played turnover-free football over his past two games and is primed for another solid showing against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Cincinnati's defense has struggled this season, allowing the second-most passing yards and 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Although he'll once again be without wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder), Rodgers has developed strong chemistry with DK Metcalf while also finding success targeting his tight ends and running backs. The 41-year-old is likely available in most single-QB formats but can be streamed as a solid option in this divisional clash.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he was listed as limited for the team's walk-through practice on Wednesday, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com. Harrison's status for the Week 7 contest against the visiting Green Bay Packers on Sunday is up in the air after he suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. It's a good sign that he was on the practice field on Wednesday, but the second-year pass-catcher will need to gain clearance from the league's concussion protocol later this week to play on Sunday. Arizona's WR corps is banged up right now, with Zay Jones (knee) missing practice, and Michael Wilson (foot) being limited. If Harrison gets the green light to play, he could be working with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett for a second straight game, with Kyler Murray dealing with a mid-foot sprain.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) was officially limited in his return to the practice field on Wednesday, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Fellow wideout KaVontae Turpin (foot) also returned to a limited practice after missing the last two games. Lamb is practicing for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears. While the 26-year-old is making progress, he's not a lock to return this Sunday to face the division-rival Washington Commanders. With that said, the Cowboys are saying there is a "good chance" that the star pass-catcher will be back this weekend. Fantasy managers would love to see Lamb put in a full practice on Thursday or Friday. As long as Lamb's workload isn't limited if he returns in Week 7, he should be considered a must-start in fantasy lineups against a leaky Commanders secondary.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) is dealing with knee and toe injuries and was not present at practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Ryan McFadden. It's unclear exactly if Meyers' two injuries will put him in danger of suiting up for a Week 7 divisional battle against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. The 28-year-old was able to play 90% of the offensive snaps in last Sunday's victory over the Tennessee Titans, though, catching all four of his targets for 39 yards. We'd think Meyers would be fine for this weekend as long as he returns to practice on Thursday or Friday. He has not shown much chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith this year, and his production has been disappointing in the two games that star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) has missed. If Meyers suits up in a tough matchup against KC, he should be considered a low-ceiling WR3 in fantasy football.

Chicago Bears OG Jonah Jackson (ankle), DT Grady Jarrett (knee), WR DJ Moore (hip, groin), PK Cairo Santos (thigh) and LB Noah Sewell (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. DE Austin Booker (knee) and RB Travis Homer (calf) fully participated in practice. The Bears only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so the report is an estimation.

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (hip, groin) had a participation estimation of DNP for Wednesday, Oct. 15, as the team had a walkthrough.

Fantasy Spin: The team just played Monday in Week 6 at Washington, and Moore was transported via ambulance and hospitalized as a precaution in the DMV area due to a groin injury suffered. There are rumors that perhaps he suffered a lacerated kidney or other groin-related issue. It seems like it might be a miracle if he plays in Week 7 after a hospital stay. We'll know more Friday when the official injury designations are revealed.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) continues to deal with a nagging heel injury and was listed as a non-participant at the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Samuel missed a couple of practices last week as well and was listed as questionable, but he played through his heel injury in Monday night's loss to the Chicago Bears. The 29-year-old was noticeably quiet, though, catching four passes for only 15 yards while playing 70% of the offensive snaps. It remains to be seen if his troublesome heel will slow him down again in Week 7 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, but as long as he's active, Samuel should be in starting fantasy lineups in a strong matchup. However, Samuel's fantasy ceiling will be lowered if Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returns this weekend from a three-game absence. Samuel's status for the rest of the week also bears watching closely.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (rest) did not practice Wednesday, Oct. 15.

Fantasy Spin: Allen was getting the old veteran day off. He'll likely be back at it on Thursday in either a limited or full basis ahead of the Week 7 clash with the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran has four or more receptions at least seven targets ion all six games. While has hasn't scored since posting a TD in each of his first three games, he remains a valuable WR3 or flex fantasy option in most PPR leagues, with slightly lesser appeal in standard formats.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) did not practice on Wednesday, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Bowers has not played since Week 4 due to a PCL injury to his knee that he initially injured in the season opener. It was reported last weekend that the second-year TE was unlikely to play in Week 7 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. With the Raiders' bye coming in Week 8, his next chance to suit up will be in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 2. The 22-year-old looked well on his way to another beastly season after posting 103 receiving yards in Week 1. Still, he was unable to top 50 yards in the next three games, and now he's on track to miss a third straight game. Fantasy managers can only stay patient and hope he returns in Week 9 at full strength. With Bowers likely out again this weekend, Michael Mayer will be a viable TE2 streamer after catching five passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is basically on a maintenance schedule for his ankle, which is why he did not take part in practice on Wednesday, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Head coach Kellen Moore said Kamara missing practice or being limited on Wednesdays won't necessarily be the case for the rest of the year, but it's the plan for right now. The 30-year-old veteran was limited in practice all of last week but still played in the Week 6 loss to the New England Patriots. Kamara played 62% of the offensive snaps and had 15 touches for 76 scrimmage yards. As long as he's able to get back to a limited practice on Thursday or Friday, Kamara should be fine to suit up this Sunday on the road in Chicago against the Bears. Although he's still the lead back in the Big Easy, Kamara has descended to RB2/3 status in fantasy. It doesn't help that Taysom Hill is now back to potentially steal goal-line touches as a RB.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15, as he makes his way back from the Reserve/Injured list.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle has been sidelined since suffered a Week 1 injury in Seattle. He had four grabs for 25 yards and a touchdown in his only appearance this season. While there could be some rust, if Kittle is activated for Sunday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, he is a must-start fantasy option, even if it is a bit of a tougher matchup.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (rest), OT Joe Alt (ankle), LB Troy Dye (thumb), DB Elijah Molden (thumb) and OT Trey Pipkins III (knee) were unable to practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. WR Derius Davis (knee), LB Daiyan Henley (groin), S Derwin James Jr. (rest, wrist), WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring), LB Khalil Mack (elbow) and OL Jamaree Salyer (knee) were listed as limited participants, while LB Kyle Kennard (knee), FB/DL Scott Matlock (ankle) and LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) were full participants.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during the week to see if Kamara will be available for the Week 7 game. He continues to be involved in both the running and passing game and should be a No. 2 running back or flex option if he plays.

From TheHuddle

San Francisco 49ers DL Kalia Davis (hand), DL Yetur Gross-Matos (knee, hamstring), RB Christian McCaffrey (rest), WR Ricky Pearsall (knee), OL Dominick Puni (knee), LB Fred Warner (ankle) and OT Trent Williams (rest) did not practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. DL Kevin Givens (pectoral), CB Renardo Green (neck), WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib, shoulder), QB Mac Jones (knee, oblique), TE George Kittle (hamstring), WR Skyy Moore (ankle), QB Brock Purdy (toe), WR Jordan Watkins (calf) and DL CJ West (thumb) were limited participants, while CB Upton Stout (shoulder) and DL Mykel Williams (thumb) participated in full.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) and CB Isaac Yiadom (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. WR Chris Olave (hip) and CB Alontae Taylor (knee) were limited during practice, while DT John Ridgeway (shoulder) fully participated in practice.
