Titans' Callahan: DeAndre Hopkins had some lower leg/calf soreness.

Related players: Tyler Boyd, Calvin Ridley

Hopkins had just one catch for -2 yards in Week 7. Boyd and Ridley led the way with Hopkins hampered by the injury. To further complicate things, it's unclear who will start at QB for the Titans in Week 8, an earlier game at Detroit. Owners definitely want to monitor Hopkins' status leading up to the game. This is mostly an offense to stay away from in typical leagues.

Brian Callahan said Will Levis' status is week to week. The problem with AC joint injuries, he said, is the only way for them to heal is with proper rest. Mason Rudolph said he doesn't know if he'll get a greater share of the reps heading into Week 8, and all he can do is "attack the reps (he's) given."

It sounds like Rudolph was put into a tough spot in Week 7. The story said Levis initially injured his shoulder in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. The Titans didn't have a game the next week, giving Levis 10 days of rest before starting the Week 6 game against the Colts. Callahan explained extra rest might've proved somewhat deceptive when it came to Levis' arm strength and ability, the story went on to say. Callahan went on to say Levis was feeling it a bit by the end of last week's Colts game and it was only Saturday did Rudolph find out he was starting. Things don't get much easier this week as the Titans travel to take on the Lions. It's unclear who will get the start at QB.

Tyjae Spears, Keondre Coburn, Treylon Burks are OUT for the Titans

Related Players: Tony Pollard, Julius Chestnut

In a follow-up tweet, Kuharsky mentioned that Burks may be heading to IR, so he can freely be dropped, even in Dynasty leagues.

Pollard should get a massive role this weekend, and profiles as a potential RB1.

Sources: The Steelers plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut.

Related players: Justin Fields, George Pickens, Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Pat Freiermuth

Russ will get the start against the Jets on Sunday night it looks like. Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Fields, but with Wilson’s calf now fully healed it looks like the team is going to make a change. This could mean a better news for the Pittsburgh WRs as Wilson should throw the ball more vs. Fields escaping the pocket and running.

San Francisco 49ers are signing former Packers K Anders Carlson to their practice squad, source said.

Related players: Jake Moody, Matthew Wright

The Niners are adding some insurance after Wright injured his shoulder last week, the post went on to say. Moody is also dealing with an ankle injury, so it's possible Carlson is pressed into duty for Week 7.

Titans coach Brian Callahan tells reporters that RB Tyjae Spears is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury.

Related players: Tony Pollard, Julius Chestnut

The week to week designation means Spears is very much in doubt for Week 7 and could miss more time than that. Any time missed should mean a potential bump in fantasy value for Pollard with RB3 Chestnut possibly also mixing in.

Titans QB Will Levis will start on Sunday vs. the Colts, per Brian Callahan.

Related Players: Mason Rudolph

Levis has a good matchup against the Colts defense, but it doesn't seem likely that he will take advantage of it. He has four touchdowns and six interceptions on the year and has done so with 6.2 yards per attempt. He should only be targeted as a back-end QB2 in Superflex leagues.

The 49ers have found a kicker to replace the injured Jake Moody.

Per multiple reports, San Francisco has signed Matthew Wright.

Wright, 28, had a short stint with San Francisco’s practice squad early last year, though he did not appear in a game.

Related players: Jake Moody

Moody is dealing with an ankle injury and there is no word how long Moody could be out. Wright should be a decent kicking option for fantasy lineups given the overall potential of the Niners offense. San Francisco is at Seattle on Thursday night.

HC Brian Callahan: QB Will Levis probably won't practice today. We expect him to be in the practice routine this week.

Related players: Mason Rudolph

The post went on to say Levis is "improving" and he's better than he was after the game. The Titans had a bye this past week, and Callahan said if Levis is ready to go he would start in Week 6. Rudolph played pretty well in leading the Titans to a win the last time we saw him in Week 4. We'll have to see if and when Levis is able to get back on the practice field. The Titans host the Colts in an early Sunday game.

Plan is for Tyler Huntley to start again for Dolphins at QB Sunday vs. Patriots, per HC Mike McDaniel.

Related players: Tua Tagovailoa, Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle, De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, Jaylen Wright, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle

It wasn't good in Week 4 but the Dolphins don't really have any other option other than Boyle. No one on the Dolphin offense can really be trusted in fantasy lineups and it seemed like the Titans took away the run game daring Huntley to beat them, which didn't happen. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 6 and Tua is rumored to be back for Week 8, so those holding fantasy players on the Dolphins will need some patience over the next several weeks.
