Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is officially active against the Bengals.

Westbrook popped up on the injury report and was listed as questionable ahead of Week 7, but he’s good to go in a matchup versus a defense that’s without two starting corners. Westbrook is a FLEX play against the injury-riddled defense.

Christian Kirk (ankle) is officially inactive for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals said Kirk will not play until he’s at full strength, so this was expected for today’s Week 7 matchup with the Giants. The good news is Kirk is getting closer to a return, but this is the second-year receiver’s third consecutive missed game with his ankle injury.

David Johnson (ankle) is officially active for Week 7.

Johnson was said to be a gametime decision today against the Giants, but he was fully expected to play. The star running needs to be in fantasy lineups as an all-around threat out of the backfield in a high-volume offense.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle) is officially active for the Packers.

Valdes-Scantling was a game-time decision, and it looked like he’d have a legit shot to play after he was able to practice on a limited basis to end the week. MVS is a boost for Green Bay’s receiving corps in real life, but he has some risk in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Geronimo Allison (concussion/chest) is officially active for Week 7.

Allison was listed as doubtful when the injury report was released on Friday, but he was updated to questionable yesterday and was trending towards having a strong shot to play today against the Raiders. He will be out there after clearing concussion protocol, which is great to see. But Allison is not a highly recommended fantasy option for Week 7.

A.J. Green is not expected to return until after the trade deadline, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

According to Schefter, Green won’t be ready to play until next month, and after the October 29th trade deadline, Cincinnati “will assess his progress and make a determination” on his status. The Bengals reportedly want to “ensure a complete recovery,” and considering their record (0-6), it wouldn’t be surprising to see him held out much longer than expected. Fantasy owners should still hold onto Green with the hopes that he can get back on the field as a potential WR1 down the stretch.

Julian Edelman (chest) is officially listed as questionable for Monday night.

Edelman is still not 100%, but there’s little question he’ll be out there against the Jets for Week 7. If there were still “probable” tags, that’s likely what Edelman would be listed as.
