Marqise Lee (knee) is questionable for Week 7.

Lee didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he was reportedly out there at practice in at least a limited capacity today. The fourth-year receiver will likely tough it out and play against the Colts, but be sure to check back in Sunday morning to make sure.

Martavis Bryant says he’s happy with the Steelers.

Reports emerged yesterday of Bryant requesting a trade, but the request was from a few weeks ago. Bryant was asked about it today and said: “Nah. I’m good, man. I’m good to go. Just gonna play ball.” It wouldn’t be surprising if Bryant was truly unhappy with his role, but it (hopefully) shouldn’t be a problem as long as the team is winning games. Bryant, though he offers big upside each week, is an uninspiring fantasy option against the Bengals in Week 7 because his role seems to be diminishing.

Ezekiel Elliott explodes in blowout win over the 49ers.

Elliott rushed 26 times for 147 yards and two scores, also taking his only reception to the house (a 72-yard sprint down the right sideline). Zeke looked fresh coming off the bye week and after successfully delaying his suspension, and he’s already set to play again in Week 8 against Washington, so fantasy owners can keep him in the lineup. At this point, it seems like Elliott will play the entire season, but you should still protect him with Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden if possible.

DeMarco Murray gets the start, sees 21 touches despite the questionable tag.

Playing at less than 100%, Murray rushed 18 times for 59 yards and caught three passes for 17 yards. He was facing an underrated Cleveland front, so it could have been a lot worse for anyone sticking with Murray, as Derrick Henry rushed 13 times for just 13 yards. The veteran should heal up over the Week 8 bye and be a solid RB1/RB2 option down in the second half of the season. The Titans will get the Ravens in Week 9.

DeAndre Washington scores in Week 7.

Washington carried nine times for 33 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for seven yards, working in a 50/50 backfield timeshare with Jalen Richard (Marshawn Lynch was ejected for shoving an official in the second quarter). Keep an eye on the situation with Lynch, as it wouldn’t be surprising to see him outright released by Oakland, given the headache he’s causing. Either way, Washington and Richard should be getting more touches moving forward.

Derrick Henry breaks long touchdown in Titans’ win.

The second-year back was in there at the end of the game for the Titans to ice it versus the Colts, and he broke a 72-yard touchdown run where he showed his great wheels for such a big and bruising runner. Overall, Henry had 19 carries for 131 yards and one touchdown while also adding a 14-yard reception. As Jon Gruden was alluding to on the broadcast, Henry is a beast of a runner and will shine when he takes over as the lead guy in the backfield after DeMarco Murray. With Murray perhaps a bit hobbled by his hamstring, Henry is in the FLEX conversation against Cleveland next week.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins scores again as Jets fall to Dolphins.

Seferian-Jenkins caught three passes for 21 yards, including a 10-yard score in the third quarter to put the Jets up 28-14, but they lost 31-28. ASJ has now scored in three-straight games, and he continues to be a steady option for Josh McCown. The 25-year-old is a solid TE1 option against the Falcons next Sunday.
