With all the talk about the lack of targets for highly-paid veteran receiver Garrett Wilson, the Jets have been getting plenty of production out of first-round rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Cooper suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 1. He returned in Week 6, and he has had a pair of 100-yard games, with a touchdown in each one. If he does it again today against the Raiders, Cooper will become only the fifth rookie in NFL history with three straight 100-yard performances and a touchdown. Via NBC Sports research, the others were Odell Beckham Jr. in 2014, Mike Evans in 2014, Randy Moss in 1998, and Jimmy Orr, way back in 1958. Against the Patriots in Week 6, Cooper had six catches on seven targets, for 103 yards and a touchdown. Against the Dolphins in Week 7, Cooper had five catches on five targets for 115 yards and a touchdown. Cooper’s ascension makes it even more plausible for the Jets to consider trade offers for Wilson. Even though the Jets claim they’re not open to trading him. Even if they aren’t, the calls will surely keep coming — especially if Wilson doesn’t have significant involvement today, and if Cooper does

San Francisco looked like it was going to run away from Washington on Monday Night Football in Week 6, but things slowed down substantially for the 49ers after Mike Evans ' injury. Evans is expected to miss this game, especially with the 49ers having a Week 8 bye to provide some additional recovery time.

Trade on Polymarket with the promo code CBSSPORTS and get a $25 bonus: Atlanta fell into a big hole against the Bears but fought admirably to eventually only lose by one possession. However, the Falcons will need to try to avoid falling into the same situation against the 49ers. San Francisco already learned its lesson playing with fire on Monday, and the 49ers will likely go hard to seal this game if they have an opening. Michael Penix Jr . was off target too many times in Week 6, which allowed the Bears to key in on Bijan Robinson and slow him down. If Robinson can get going, it'll open up windows for Penix to find Drake London and Kyle Pitts in the passing game. The Falcons win in 45% of SportsLine simulations.

The San Francisco 49ers, looking to maintain their perfect record, face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. The 49ers are coming off a win against the Commanders, while the Falcons lost to the Bears. Key players like Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy are performing well for the 49ers, despite a potential absence of Mike Evans due to injury. Michael Penix Jr. struggled in the Falcons' last game
The injuries continue to pile up as we are almost midway through the fantasy regular season. Below are some of the key injuries heading into Week 7. Mike Evans has played through various injuries this season. However, the 49ers are one game away from a Week 8 bye, so he will sit out this one against the Falcons, nursing rib and Achilles injuries. With the 49ers already down Ricky Pearsall , De’Zhaun Stribling, and Deebo Samuel , San Francisco’s receiving corps is barren. The 49ers will likely deploy a rotation of veteran Brandin Cooks , Jacob Cowing , Jordan Watkins , and Christian Kirk, who is set to make his 49ers debut after returning from a calf injury. All of these players are desperation starts. It’s most likely that George Kittle feasts on National Tight End Day. Lamar Jackson practiced in a limited capacity all week. He has missed the past two games with a recently disclosed high ankle sprain and will now miss a third. With Jackson out, the Ravens’ offensive players will see a dip in production as the Ravens have mustered just 429 passing yards with Jackson sidelined. Baltimore turns to Tyler Huntley, who will start for the Ravens again, hoping to improve on his lackluster performance thus far. David Montgomery will miss his second game with a groin injury. In his absence last week, Woody Marks saw a 78% snap share and finished as the RB22 on the week. Marks will continue to see the bulk of opportunities, especially since his running mate Jawhar Jordan, who saw two red-zone touches and scored a rushing touchdown last week, was placed on the practice squad Reserve/Injured list with a quadriceps injury. Passing-down specialist Dare Ogunbowale will likely spell Marks, but he remains off the fantasy radar. Emeka Egbuka is coming off two consecutive 17-point PPR performances; however, he will miss the Buccaneers’ Week 7 matchup against the Panthers with a concussion and foot injury. Veteran Chris Godwin is set to be the focal point of the Bucs’ passing offense, with Baker Mayfield set to return from a thumb injury. Godwin makes for a strong FLEX play despite his poor results thus far. Rookie Ted Hurst is also in line for increased targets with Egbuka out. Tyler Warren will miss his second straight game with a groin injury. In his absence last week, Keenan Allen saw 11 targets, and Josh Downs saw eight. Allen and Downs combined for 45% of the Colts’ targets last week. Look for both players to be featured again as the hapless Colts take on a tough Vikings defense this week. First-round rookie Jeremiyah Love will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury. In his absence last week, Zonovan Knight and Tyler Allgeier combined for 37 total opportunities, with Allgeier seeing 20 and Knight seeing 17. Both backs will likely continue to see a near-even split in backfield opportunities in a plus matchup against the Broncos. Puka Nacua popped up mid-week on the injury report with a calf injury but is officially questionable for Week 7. With Davante Adams on IR with a ruptured hamstring, Nacua will likely try to suit up for the Rams, who are in dire need of a win. Konata Mumpfield will likely join Nacua in two-WR sets in Adams’ absence but remains off the fantasy radar. Rashee Rice will miss his second straight game as he deals with hamstring and knee ailments. Xavier Worthy saw seven targets in his absence last week and led the Chiefs in targets. Worthy will look to step up again, though the Chiefs’ offense runs through Kenneth Walker. Bijan Robinson may never come off the field this week against the 49ers. However, if he does, practice squad call-up Khalil Herbert will serve as the breather back. He is a player to monitor on the wire if Brian Robinson takes some time to recover from his hamstring injury. Mason was activated from IR and is set to return from a thumb injury that sidelined him the past four weeks. He should hop right back into his role as the 1A to Aaron Jones’ 1B in the Vikings backfield. He makes for

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a speculative addition in 12-team leagues for managers seeking immediate receiver help, but his limited target production makes him a risky Week 7 flex option. He could see his largest workload of the season against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, with Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) ruled out, and the matchup is favorable, as Atlanta has surrendered the most receptions and fourth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers this season. Cooks took over Evans' outside receiver role after the veteran exited Monday's win over the Washington Commanders, playing a season-high 32 offensive snaps (52%), but he caught just one of two targets for 13 yards and has only two receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown across three games. Jordan Watkins played 47 snaps against Washington, while Christian Kirk (calf) is questionable after practicing fully throughout the week and could return
Mike Evans has been ruled out for the game against the Falcons. However, another receiver is expected to make their season debut and could help bolster the team's receiving corps
The 49ers will be down several players when they play the Falcons on Sunday. San Francisco has ruled out receiver Mike Evans (Achilles), defensive lineman Nick Bosa (knee/calf), receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring), linebacker Garret Wallow (hamstring), linebacker Luke Gifford (groin), and safety Marques Sigle (ankle). Losing Evans is significant for the contest, as he leads the team with 420 yards receiving and is No. 2 on the club with 27 catches so far in 2026. Via multiple reporters, Shanahan noted Bosa was likely a little too optimistic when he targeted his return to play a couple of weeks ago. But now he will have more time to heal, as the 49ers have a Week 8 bye. While receiver Christian Kirk (calf) is technically one of three players questionable for the contest, Shanahan told reporters the team is planning to activate him for the game. Defensive back Upton Stout (shoulder) and safety Siran Neal (knee) are also questionable
