D'Andre Swift - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Below you will find our fantasy football injuries report for running backs in Week 7, as of October 22. The injury statuses for various NFL running backs are up in the air for Week 7 including Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor, D'Andre Swift, and Damien Harris.

The fantasy football season may be just getting underway, but every decision, transaction, and lineup change matters. These are critical running back injuries to keep track of throughout the week. Being up-to-date on NFL injury news can give you an edge over your league mates in fantasy football.

Let's look at the updates for some running backs and see whether they may play in Week 7.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

Saquon Barkley Injury Update

After being limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Barkley (shoulder) closed out the week with a full session and has been removed from the injury report. He will play against the Jaguars on Sunday. The shoulder injury has hindered Barkley for a couple of weeks now, but he hasn't missed anything more than a few snaps here and there. He should continue to see a very heavy workload this coming Sunday, making him a high-end RB1.

 

Jonathan Taylor Injury Update

Taylor (ankle) practiced in full all week long and has been cleared to return against the Titans on Sunday. The 23-year-old underwhelmed through the first four games, amassing 328 rushing yards, 44 receiving yards, and just one touchdown. However, he also got off to a slow start in 2021, and we know how that turned out. Fantasy managers should continue to have faith in Taylor, viewing him as a high-end RB1 on a weekly basis.

 

D'Andre Swift Injury Update

Swift (ankle, shoulder) was limited in practice all week long and has officially been listed as questionable for Week 7. He hasn't played since Week 3, and while the expectation was that he would return after the Lions' bye, the team is being non-committal about his availability. Fantasy managers will have to wait until Sunday for an update on his status. If Swift plays, he ranks as a low-end RB1.

 

Damien Harris Injury Update

Harris (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. Presumably, he'll remain a full participant on Saturday, setting him up to be active for Monday Night Football against the Bears. If this is the case, Harris will have missed just one game with his hamstring issue. Still, that short absence helped Rhamondre Stevenson take over the backfield. As a result, Stevenson ranks as a low-end RB2 going forward while Harris falls into the RB3 tier.

 

Raheem Mostert Injury Update

Mostert (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, but then he registered back-to-back full sessions. The veteran back has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Although Mostert's production dropped to just 14 rushes and 49 yards last week, he is still Miami's lead back and should be treated as such in fantasy leagues.

 

J.K. Dobbins Injury Update

Dobbins' knee tightened up last week, prompting the Ravens to give a heavy workload to Kenyan Drake. Now, Dobbins is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery, sidelining him for four to six weeks. It has been a rough career for Dobbins, who has already missed 20 games through less than two-and-a-half seasons. Going forward, Kenyan Drake is a low-end RB3 in fantasy football until Dobbins and Gus Edwards (knee) return.

 

 

Melvin Gordon Injury Update

Gordon (neck, ribs) practiced in full this week and has been cleared to play against the Jets in Week 7. Even after Gordon registered just eight yards on a frustrating 16 percent snap share last week, head coach Nathaniel Hackett implied that the veteran back will remain the starter and leader of the backfield on Sunday. Although last week's dud cast some doubt on Gordon's usage, Hackett's comments suggest that he should still be viewed as an RB3 in fantasy football.

 

Nyheim Hines Injury Update

Hines (concussion) cleared protocol and was a full participant in practice all week long. As a result, he does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans. On one hand, it is refreshing to see Hines healthy. On the other hand, Taylor (ankle) is back and short-term star Deon Jackson (quad) has also shown that he deserves his fair share of snaps in the offense. As a result, it's hard to justify starting Hines in fantasy football this week. He ranks as an RB4 for the time being.

 

Gus Edwards Injury Update

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was unable to elaborate on whether Edwards (knee) will be activated from the PUP list before Sunday's game. His 21-day practice window closes next Wednesday, so if the Ravens don't activate Edwards by then, he won't be able to play in 2022. With Dobbins (knee) sidelined, Edwards would figure to compete for the starting role upon his return.

 

Joshua Kelley Injury Update

Kelley (knee) did not practice at all this week. As a result, he has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Seahawks. Kelley suffered the injury on Monday night. Sony Michel will operate as Austin Ekeler's backup. Meanwhile, rookie Isaiah Spiller is also expected to be active as the Chargers' third-string back.

 

Justice Hill Injury Update

Hill (hamstring) practiced in full this week and has been cleared to play against the Browns on Sunday. The 24-year-old produced 105 rushing yards and 12 receiving yards between Weeks 3 and 4. Now, with Dobbins (knee) sidelined and Edwards' (knee) status up in the air, Hill could compete for significant volume alongside Kenyan Drake. He falls into the RB4 tier and is a sneaky FLEX play in Week 7.

 

Deon Jackson Injury Update

Jackson (quad) practiced in full all week long and has been cleared to play against the Titans in Week 7. The 23-year-old flourished in the wake of injuries to Taylor (ankle) and Hines (concussion), amassing 25 carries, 104 rushing yards, 14 receptions, 108 receiving yards, and one touchdown over the course of two games. Going forward, he should continue to earn touches in the offense, but he is still the Colts' No. 3 back and therefore can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.

 

Jonathan Williams Injury Update

Williams (knee) did not practice this week. He has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against Green Bay. Williams hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 4 and wouldn't have much of a role behind Brian Robinson Jr., Antonio Gibson, and J.D. McKissic even if he was healthy.
