Valdes-Scantling wasn’t able to practice this week but is hoping to play Sunday. He said he will be receiving treatment between now and Sunday. He is officially listed as questionable.
As reported by: Jim Owczarski Marqise Lee (Ankle), Geoff Swaim (Concussion, Ankle) Both Out Sunday; Dede Westbrook (Shoulder) Questionable
Both Lee and Swaim played last week but combined for just 2 targets. Westbrook would be a significant loss for the Jaguars. He has 19 targets over the last two weeks and has been a solid 2nd WR behind DJ Chark. Chris Conley should see increased usage from the WR injuries.

Campbell was out prior to the Colts’ bye week and wasn’t able to get healthy. He will miss his second straight game Sunday.
As reported by: Kevin Bowen A.J. Green (Ankle) Ruled Out Sunday
Green didn’t practice this week and has been ruled out for Sunday. He still has not made his season debut for the Bengals. With the Bengals already 0-6, there is little incentive to rush back Green. He will try to return to Week 8, but they also have a bye Week 9 if he needs additional rest.
As reported by: Marisa Contipelli Davante Adams (Toe) Ruled Out Sunday
Adams was a long shot to play this week and has officially been ruled out for the Packers. This will be Adams’ third straight missed game.
As reported by: Rob Demovsky Other tagged players: Aaron Rodgers Attack the Weakness of the Defense
We all know the weakness of the Arizona defense is defending the tight end. They get Patrick Peterson back, which I think helps out because now one side of the field should be taken away, meaning we can easily target the other options. Engram should be able to eat if they continue to try using linebackers in coverage. Most of the big plays for tight ends have come off misdirection plays and play action. All in all, Engram is an elite tight end who should be heavily involved.
Great Matchup for the RB
Josh Jacobs gets one of the best matchups of the week. The Packers’ run defense has not been good this year, giving up 4.9 yards per carry, and the Raiders should be able to exploit this weakness, especially with the team getting an extra week to prepare for a Packers team that just played on Monday night. I think they look to get the run game going, so we could see 20-25 touches for Jacobs.
WR With More Opportunity
If Jalen Ramsey plays, I really like Calvin Ridley in this matchup. Ramsey missed Wednesday’s practice but it was not injury related, so I don’t see why he wouldn’t play. With Talib out and Peterson traded, Ramsey should be on Julio, which means Ridley should get the better matchup to exploit. He should see a healthy dose of targets on Sunday, which could result in big plays for the talented receiver.
Chris Herndon (Hamstring) Does Not Practice Friday, Not Expected to Play Monday
Herndon is not expected to make his season debut Monday night. He still has not practiced with a hamstring injury.
As reported by: Brian Costello Patrick Mahomes (Knee) Expected to Miss at Least 3 Weeks
Mahomes dislocated his knee cap on a QB sneak Thursday night. He has avoided a major injury but is still expected to miss several games. Matt Moore is expected to fill in for Mahomes.
