Fantasy Football Injury News, Week 7: Beanie Wells Out 1-2 Weeks, Santana Moss 3-4 Weeks

see all updates

NFL teams released their final injury reports for week seven on Friday afternoon. The Monday Night Football teams will release their reports on Saturday. This week's reports had a few players come and go from the injury reports with a few big names heading into Sunday as huge question marks. Some of the game-time decisions include Peyton Hillis and Joseph Addai. The number of doubtful players is a bit higher at this point, with guys like Tarvaris Jackson,

For those wondering, the designations break down as follows:

Out: 0% change of playing
Doubtful: 25% chance of playing
Questionable: 50% chance of playing
Probable: 75% chance of playing

For fantasy purposes, you can almost always assume a probable player can be slotted into your lineup. I would be somewhat shocked if any of those Probable players ended up inactive this Sunday barring any news tonight or tomorrow. Questionable players on the other hand put you in a tough position. At least half if not more of these guys will play, but you will likely find yourself waiting on a “game-time decision” for most of them. It is not a problem for 1:00pm ET starts, but the 4:05 and 4:15pm ET starts, it can become a pain in the butt setting your lineup. For those I simply suggest trying to slot them into your flex position (if you have one) so you have some flexibility between running backs and wide receivers (and maybe even tight ends).

This Sunday we’ll have final updates for all of these players so check back then. And of course, feel free to tweet us @sbnationfantasy with any sit/start questions you might have.
