Many fantasy football leagues play 14-week regular seasons, which means that we are officially at the halfway point after Week 7.
Fantasy success this season has been largely tied to how well a roster avoided injuries to its top players, as high draft picks like De'Von Achane, Jonathan Taylor, Anthony Richardson, and James Cook are among those facing injury questions in Week 7.
The fantasy football player news page is a great bookmark for injury updates, and the RotoBaller fantasy football mobile app is free to download. This is the latest as of Saturday, Oct. 19.

Anthony Richardson Injury Update
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that quarterback Anthony Richardson (hip) will play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7.
The second-year quarterback has been inactive the past two weeks, thrusting veteran backup Joe Flacco into the starting role. The Colts are hoping Richardson's injury woes are finally through, as the quarterback has played only four full games in two seasons.

Jonathan Taylor Injury Update
The Indianapolis Colts' official injury report ruled out running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle), meaning he will miss the Week 7 game against the Miami Dolphins.
This will be three straight weeks with the star running back on the sidelines. Trey Sermon has carried most frequently without Taylor, but Tyler Goodson led the team in rushing last week with 51 yards on eight carries.
Per Coach Steichen, CB Chris Lammons and RB Jonathan Taylor have been ruled out for #MIAvsIND.

Nick Chubb Injury Update
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) is listed as questionable on the team's injury report, but head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that he expects the veteran back to play Sunday against Cincinnati.
Chubb's return is good news for a 1-5 Browns team in desperate need of anything positive. The Georgia product has not played since undergoing knee surgery last year.
Browns HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters that, despite Nick Chubb’s questionable injury tag for Sunday’s game against the Bengals, the Cleveland running back is expected to play for the first time since he suffered last season’s knee injury. pic.twitter.com/F3XtlAnn0l

Cooper Kupp Injury Update
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) will hold a questionable distinction ahead of the Week 7 game against Las Vegas, according to Adam Grosbard of the Orange County Register.
Kupp avoided injured reserve but has not played since suffering the injury in Week 2. Weighing on the Rams' decision is the fact they have two games in five days, as Minnesota visits for Thursday Night Football in Week 8.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. Raiders. Sean McVay says decision could come closer to the game.

De'Von Achane Injury Update
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) told reporters on Friday that he officially cleared concussion protocol and will play against the Indianapolis Colts, ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques reported Friday.
After a bye last week, Achane appears ready to return. Miami has yet to score more than 15 points in a game since quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) left its Week 2 game against Buffalo.
Dolphins RB De’Von Achane said he cleared concussion protocol — he’s in line to play Sunday vs the Colts

James Cook Injury Update
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (toe) is listed as healthy against the Tennessee Titans, according to the team's official injury report.
Rookie Ray Davis (calf) is questionable this week after filling in nicely last week. Cook should once again see the lion's share of designed runs out of the Buffalo backfield.
RB Ray Davis (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Titans.
RB James Cook and DT Ed Oliver both do not carry injury designations. Good to go. A relatively healthy Bills roster. https://t.co/clTLyOdWeH

Jordan Mason Injury Update
The San Francisco 49ers did not list running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) on their final injury report for their game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The third-year running back has been an elite fantasy option with Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve. Isaac Guerendo led the 49ers in carries and rushing yards after Mason's injury last week at Seattle, but Mason again figures to be the lead back in Week 7.
RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) is full go for Sunday’s game. WR Jauan Jennings (hip) is OUT.

Mike Evans Injury Update
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice Friday but is expected to play against Baltimore, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Fantasy managers will have to wait to see how Tampa Bay lists Evans on its official injury report. So far, the veteran receiver has played in all six games and caught five touchdown passes.
#Bucs WR Mike Evans was working with a trainer on a side field during the portion of practice open to media. He has a hamstring strain and won’t practice much this week but is expected to play the Ravens on Monday night.

Brian Robinson Jr. Injury Update
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is officially questionable for the team's Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers.
Robinson has been steady when he has played, logging five top-25 finishes among fantasy running backs in five games played. Without him, Washington likely will lean on the tandem of Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols.
Quinn said RB Brian Robinson is 'trending in the right direction' but no decision has been made on his status for Sunday.

Aaron Jones Injury Update
The Minnesota Vikings listed running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) as questionable on their official injury report ahead of a divisional clash against the Detroit Lions.
Jones has been the top option out of the Vikings backfield, but after him, it gets murkier. Ty Chandler is currently second on the team in carries, but Minnesota also traded for Cam Akers earlier this week.
Aaron Jones (hamstring) is QUESTIONABLE for Sunday, per Kevin O’Connell.

Devin Singletary Injury Update
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) is on track to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
How much Singletary will carry the ball is up for debate. Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. played well enough in the veteran's absence that the Giants backfield looks to be headed the committee route for the time being.
On the #Giants RB situation: Devin Singletary will return on Sunday vs. #Eagles. But Tyrone Tracy will still see significant playing time.
“He’s earned it,” coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s done a good job. So he’ll get plenty of playing time.”
Daboll says Tracy, Singletary and…

Dallas Goedert Injury Update
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) will not play against the New York Giants, according to the team's official injury report.
Grant Calcaterra had a nice day in place of Goedert last week by accumulating four catches for 67 yards. The second-year tight end played 92% of snaps last week and should see another high share again in Week 7.
