Calvin Ridley (ankle) did not practice today.

This was Atlanta’s first practice of the week, so it’s not too big of a deal that Ridley isn’t practicing. Ideally, the rookie receiver will be at least a limited participant in tomorrow’s practice. Consider him 50/50 at this point, but we’d lean towards him suiting up on Monday night against the Giants.

Kyle Juszczyk loses a fumble against the Packers.

Juszczyk played well for the most part as a blocker and receiver for the Niners, but he had a lost fumble after making a nice 21-yard catch on a corner route. Overall, Juszczyk had three receptions for 30 yards with the fumble lost. Juszczyk is more of a PPR FLEX option for deep leagues.

Julian Edelman (heel) remains limited in practice.

Sony Michel (knee), Rob Gronkowski (ankle), and Josh Gordon (hamstring) all also continue to be limited in practice, but there isn’t much concern for any of them for Week 7. Edelman’s heel injury is the newest ailment, but he should be good to go against the Bears. We’ll see how he’s listed on the official injury report for the game when it’s released tomorrow.

Pierre Garcon catches four passes against Green Bay.

The veteran receiver gained 37 yards on his four receptions in tonight’s loss. Garcon’s stand-out play was on an outlet pass in the flat where he made Clay Matthews miss to get the first down. Garcon continues to work as a clear starter for the Niners, but he’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option right now.

Allen Robinson II (groin) did not practice today.

After he was limited in yesterday’s practice, this is a bit of a concern for Robinson. Chicago’s top receiver appears to be trending toward a questionable tag tomorrow, so we’ll let you know whether he’s a full, limited, or non-participant in the final practice of the week. It’s worth noting that star pass rusher Khalil Mack also didn’t practice for the Bears, so maybe the team is just taking things easy with a couple of their best players.

Ty Montgomery scores in win over the 49ers.

Montgomery rushed four times for 12 yards and a touchdown, also adding two receptions for ten yards. The score came on a screen that was thrown backwards from two yards away in the first quarter, but Montgomery didn’t really have a chance to get anything going as he split time the rest of the way, though he did rip off a chunk gain on the final drive to help set up the game-winning field goal. All three of Green Bay’s runners should be treated as volatile FLEX options when the team returns from their Week 7 bye, but perhaps a couple potential shootouts against the Rams and Patriots will play to Montgomery’s skillset.

The Redskins have signed Jehu Chesson to the 53-man roster.

Chesson was on Washington’s practice squad, and it looks like he might get an opportunity to play against the Cowboys this Sunday. The Michigan product was a fourth-round pick of the Chiefs last year, and he’s someone to keep an eye on moving forward as he looks to become a big part of the Redskins offense. Chesson is not a highly-recommended fantasy pickup yet, though.
