JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) is practicing fully.

JuJu had some concussion symptoms that had him put into protocol, but it appears he’s ready to go for Sunday night against the Lions. With Martavis Bryant (social media) set to be inactive for the game, the rookie Smith-Schuster could see more targets go his way. He’s worth a pickup in all leagues and is in the FLEX conversation for Week 8.

Marlon Mack gets five carries in Week 7.

Mack gained 26 yards on his five attempts while adding four receptions (on six targets) for 40 yards, including a 34-yard reception where he showed his great speed and burst. The Colts would probably be wise to get the ball in the dynamic rookie’s hands out of the backfield, and he’s someone to keep an eye on moving forward.

Breshad Perriman (concussion) did not practice today.

He’s in concussion protocol and needs to clear the stages to work his way into practice with the hope of playing on Sunday.

Kenyan Drake gets six carries in Week 8.

The Dolphins were getting blown out and Drake was given some carries at the end of the game, gaining 22 yards on his six attempts. Jay Ajayi is the workhorse in Miami’s backfield, so Drake doesn’t have much fantasy value right now.

Mark Ingram sees 26 touches in Week 7 win.

Ingram rushed 22 times for 105 yards and one touchdown, adding five yards on four receptions. One of the most underrated running backs in the league, Ingram has seen a huge boost in production since Adrian Peterson’s departure. He’s suddenly an every-week, solid RB1. The Saints host the Bears next Sunday.

Rex Burkhead is off the injury report.

After missing the last four games with a rib injury and working his way back in limited practices, Burkhead was a full participant today and does not have an injury designation for Sunday against the Falcons. The running back situation for the Patriots will be very interesting, and we could see all of Mike Gillislee, James White, Dion Lewis, and Burkhead active like they were in the beginning of the year, with no lock on who delivers fantasy value. Gillislee fumbled last week and was apparently benched for a long stretch of the game, so perhaps there is an opening for Burkhead. He’s worth an add if you have an open bench spot on your roster.

Ryan Mallett throws touchdown in relief of Joe Flacco in Week 7.

After Joe Flacco exited after taking a nasty hit in the second quarter, Mallett entered the game and threw a touchdown later in that drive on a short pass in the end zone to tight end Benjamin Watson. Overall, the Ravens were in control the entire game and ran the ball 40 times, and Mallett was 3/7 for 20 yards and a touchdown. There’s no guarantee Flacco is cleared of his concussion for Week 9, but Mallett would not be a recommended fantasy option if forced to start.
