What happened: Jackson missed Wednesday practice after sitting two games with an ankle injury ahead of Baltimore's game against Cincinnati. Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season, with Tanner Mckee starting the Week 6 loss to Carolina for 215 yards and one touchdown. Tampa Bay could get Mayfield back for Week 7 against Carolina, while Davante Adams faces a 6-10 week hamstring absence and Evans is expected to miss time with an Achilles injury.

Why it matters: Jackson's return would lift Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews after mixed results under Tyler Huntley. Philadelphia's upside is capped with Mckee, though Saquon Barkley's return from a two-game hamstring absence would ease the load on a soft schedule.

By the numbers: Mckee finished Week 6 with 215 yards and one touchdown for 12.6 fantasy points. Dameon Pierce handled 12 carries for 35 yards and a touchdown in Barkley's absence. Per ESPN, Mayfield completed 343 of 543 passes for 3,693 yards with 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games in 2025 with the Buccaneers; Goedert caught 60 passes for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns in 15 games in 2025 with the Eagles.

What to watch: Jackson's practice status later in the week will determine availability against Cincinnati. Mayfield's progression toward the Carolina game and Barkley's hamstring status are the other near-term markers.
