Commanders | With White out, Austin Ekeler active vs. Colts Sun Oct 4, 08:16 AM
Commanders RB Austin Ekeler is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. With RB Rachaad White out, Ekeler can help as the third-down back and kick returner, roles in which he has excelled. Ekeler is in a new system and only arrived this week, so his workload from scrimmage is uncertain.

Commanders | Commanders 'play it safe', Terry McLaurin (hamstring) inactive vs. Colts Sun Oct 4, 08:11 AM
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Colts.

Rams | Rams do not intend to limit Puka Nacua's workload in return vs. Eagles Sun Oct 4, 07:41 AM
The Rams do not intend to limit WR Puka Nacua's workload in his return on Sunday against the Eagles, sources said. On Friday, Nacua was described as 'good to go' for Sunday and returned to full practice, though the Rams were still working through his snap count at the time.

49ers | Mike Evans practiced late in week despite rib injury, says he'll 'do his best' to play Sun Oct 4, 07:04 AM
49ers WR Mike Evans was able to practice late this week despite a rib injury and said he'll do his best to be out there against the Broncos on Sunday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. The team has expressed optimism, though as TE George Kittle noted, "Fractured ribs suck." Evans is listed as questionable.

Commanders | QB Daniels could play in Week 5? Sat Oct 3, 05:12 PM
Jonathan Jones, from The Athletic, reports Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) could play in Week 5 against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is out in Week 4, and Marcus Mariota gets another start for the Commanders. We'll see if Daniels can practice next week as the team prepares for their game against the Giants. Daniels is going to play through this elbow injury, and after the season, we'll have to see if surgery is scheduled. |

Vikings | WR Jefferson 'hopeful' to return in Week 5 Sat Oct 3, 05:09 PM
Jeremy Fowler, from ESPN, reports Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) is "hopeful" to return in Week 5 against the Saints.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson did not practice all week and has been declared out for Week 4 against the Dolphins. It does not seem to be a serious injury, so expecting him back next week makes sense. Jordan Addison takes over as the no.1 receiver with Jefferson out. We like Addison as a WR2 with upside in Week 4. |
Justin Jefferson player page
Panthers | WR Xavier Legette placed on injured reserve Sat Oct 3, 04:15 PM
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (knee) has been placed on injured reserve. ESPN lists an estimated return of November 8.
| Footballguys view: The third-year wideout was hurt during the Atlanta game, after hauling in a 55-yard reception. But Legette hasn't played since, as he was inactive last week. Now, he'll miss at least four games, leaving Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, John Metchie III, David Moore, and Brycen Tremayne on the roster. With Coker questionable this week, WR Ja'Seem Reed was promoted to the active roster and is available this week. |

Rams | WR Nacua may be on 'stricter' snap count than usual Sat Oct 3, 03:57 PM
Tom Pelissero, from the Ringer, reports Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) may be on "stricter snap count than usual" in Week 4 against the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: As we've reported, there is some uneasiness about his fantasy value this week as we're not sure how strict Nacua's snap count will be. However, if Nacua is out there (and Sean McVay says Nacua is "good to go") Fantasy GMs are likely to start him regardless of the questions about his status. |

Seahawks | Rookie RB Jadarian Price to IR, out at least four weeks Sat Oct 3, 03:54 PM
The Seahawks are placing first-round pick RB Jadarian Price on injured reserve due to the chest injury he aggravated at practice this week. Price will now miss a minimum of four weeks. He had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Price will miss at least the next four games, including matchups against the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs, making the return of Zach Charbonnet, who was designated to return to practice this week, even more meaningful. Charbonnet's status will be something to watch over the next two weeks. Taking Price's place on the roster is Velus Jones Jr., who was signed off the practice squad Saturday afternoon. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson sprinting off to the side, working on stopping and starting Sat Oct 3, 01:57 PM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson was sprinting off to the side at practice on Saturday, working on stopping and starting.
| Footballguys view: Tyson, a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, had injury concerns coming out of Arizona State. He sustained a complex knee injury (torn ACL/MCL/PCL) in 2022, a fractured collarbone in 2024, and multiple lingering hamstring strains through 2025 and 2026. It's wise for the Saints to take their time with the talented but oft-injured receiver. When he resumes practicing, we'll have a better idea when he could make his NFL debut. |
Jordyn Tyson player page
49ers | Mike Evans (ribs) questionable, game-time decision Sat Oct 3, 12:44 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos and will be a game-time decision after returning to practice as a limited participant on Friday, having missed Wednesday and Thursday; "Hopefully we've got a shot," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. Shanahan ruled out DE Nick Bosa (knee/calf), DT James Thompson Jr. (ankle) and DE Mykel Williams (knee), while LB Dre Greenlaw (quadricep), DE Keion White (hamstring) and LB Jaden Dugger (shoulder) are questionable. Williams, who was limited in all three practices after his practice window opened Wednesday, is eligible to return beginning in Week 5. WR Brandin Cooks was promoted to the active roster on Wednesday, and Shanahan said, "He's had a good two weeks."
| Footballguys view: The 49ers want Evans out there, but we'll have to see what he looks like in warmups before the game. Right now, Fantasy GMs must have other options at the ready. Even though Rams WR Davante Adams torched Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II last week, a banged-up Evans versus Surtain is not a great matchup even if the veteran receiver does play. |

Colts | Keenan Allen (groin) downgraded to out vs. Commanders, Westbrook-Ikhine elevated Sat Oct 3, 10:59 AM
Colts WR Keenan Allen (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Commanders. Allen did not practice Friday and had been listed as questionable. WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the game.
| Footballguys view: Allen caught 6-of-9 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Indianapolis' Week 3 win over the Texans. He was downgraded on Saturday, and his groin injury needs a bit more time to heal. Without Allen, the Colts can turn to Josh Downs and Tyler Warren more in the passing game. |

Bears | Tyson Bagent set to start vs. Jets with Caleb Williams out Sat Oct 3, 10:45 AM
Bears QB Tyson Bagent will start Sunday's game against the Jets in place of QB Caleb Williams, according to sources. Bagent watched third-string QB Case Keenum "tear up the Eagles defense" on Monday night and now gets his chance to fill in for Williams, who has been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Even though Case Keenum was fantastic on Monday night against the Eagles in Week 3, the Bears are going to Bagent. He went through training camp and the preseason, and Bagent won the no.2 job behind Caleb Williams. With the Bears offense being dynamic, Bagent is an option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin now 'likely to miss' London game vs. Colts with hamstring injury Sat Oct 3, 10:37 AM
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is now likely to miss Sunday's game against the Colts in London, multiple sources said on Saturday, despite initial hope that he would play through a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: An important note for Fantasy GMs here. McLaurin was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report with this hamstring injury. The Commanders must pivot with their game early on Sunday morning in London. Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams now get more of an opportunity if McLaurin does in fact miss this game. Fantasy GMs need to make other plans. |

Eagles | Makai Lemon's role expected to grow with DeVonta Smith out; Eagles to 'use him more and more' Sat Oct 3, 10:00 AM
Eagles rookie WR Makai Lemon is expected to take on a larger role alongside WR Dontayvion Wicks in Sunday's Week 4 game against the Rams with WR DeVonta Smith ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Lemon caught 3-of-4 targets for 29 yards in the Eagles' Week 3 loss to the Bears. Without Smith in Week 4, the rookie gets more of a chance to prove himself. We like him as a WR4/flex for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield pushing to beat three-week timeline Sat Oct 3, 09:31 AM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is scheduled to have stitches removed from his injured thumb on Monday, which is an important step in his recovery. Mayfield is pushing to beat the three-week timeline for his return.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers ruled Mayfield out on Friday for Sunday's game against the Packers. That makes undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels their starter with Mayfield out. Pelissero reports Mayfield could return in Week 6. Stay tuned. |

Packers | Micah Parsons has had no setbacks, but could be November before he's ready to play Sat Oct 3, 09:26 AM

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle, Marvin Mims 'WILL play' vs. 49ers; Tillman out with hamstring Sat Oct 3, 07:46 AM
Broncos WRs Jaylen Waddle and Marvin Mims Jr. will play against the 49ers on Sunday, while DE Dondrea Tillman is out with a hamstring injury, per Friday's updates. For San Francisco, DE Nick Bosa, DE Mykel Williams and DT James Thompson Jr. are out against the Broncos. LB Dre Greenlaw, WR Mike Evans, Keion White and LB Jaden Dugger are questionable.
| Footballguys view: Waddle and Mims bring big-play ability to the field on offense and (with Mims) on special teams. Last week, Waddle didn't do much against the Rams. Waddle caught 2-of-7 targets for 10 yards in the Broncos' Week 3 win over the Rams, adding 14 yards on one carry. This week against the 49ers, we like Waddle as a WR2 with upside. |

Eagles | Wicks to take over as top receiver with Smith out; Cooper, Moore should see uptick Sat Oct 3, 03:00 AM
Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks will take over as the team's top receiver in Sunday's Week 4 game against the Rams with WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) out, and the coaching staff was extremely impressed by how he looked in that role in practice this week. With Smith and WR Hollywood Brown (ankle) out, the Eagles are likely to play Wicks, WR Makai Lemon and WR Darius Cooper the most, with WR Elijah Moore expected to rotate in; Cooper and Moore should see an uptick in playing time. Wicks has 9 catches on 15 targets for 179 yards and a touchdown through three games, second on the team behind Smith in all three categories. "We feel like everyone's capable of shouldering that burden," offensive coordinator Sean Mannion said this week.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are going to use Wicks and Lemon more without Smith. Wicks caught 2-of-5 targets for 32 yards in the Eagles' Week 3 loss to the Bears. This week, we've got Wicks in the WR3/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet seen working to the side early in Friday's practice Fri Oct 2, 06:05 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was shown on video working to the side early in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was designated to return from the PUP list on Thursday, opening his practice window. The Seahawks have a 21-day practice window to activate Charbonnet. He'll need to be on the active 53-man roster by Oct. 22. |

Rams | Terrance Ferguson to IR, Parkinson questionable, Klare likely to make NFL debut Fri Oct 2, 06:01 PM
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson was placed on injured reserve on Friday after leaving Week 3's loss to the Broncos with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson is third on the team with 12 targets, catching seven passes for 63 yards and a touchdown. TE Colby Parkinson has not practiced this week and is questionable for Sunday's game at the Eagles. Rookie TE Max Klare, a healthy scratch every week so far, is probably going to make his NFL debut in the wake of the injuries at tight end. |
Max Klare player page
Seahawks | Seahawks RB Jadarian Price will miss Sunday's game Fri Oct 2, 04:39 PM
The Seahawks will face the Chargers without rookie running back Jadarian Price.
| Footballguys view: Price appeared on track to play this week, but aggravated his chest/shoulder injury in practice and will not play. In his absence, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson should split the duties, both garnering RB3 rankings in Week 4. Zach Charbonnet returned to practice this week, and if Price misses extended time, his return could be a huge benefit. We'll wait for more news on Price's injury, but fantasy managers can replace Price in their lineups until then. |
Jadarian Price player page
Ravens | Ravens list Zay Flowers (hamstring) as questionable Fri Oct 2, 04:20 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter announced that Zay Flowers (hamstring) will be questionable this week.
| Footballguys view: Flowers played in a limited role last week, and there's hope he can expand it this week. Flowers was a full participant on Thursday, and it's unclear whether Friday's limited session was a setback or a planned deload. Fantasy managers relying on Flowers are lucky that the Ravens play in the early window. If he can't go, pivot options won't be scarce. However, Flowers seems on track to play. Given what we've seen in small samples so far, he's a must-start when active. |
Zay Flowers player page
Eagles | Dallas Goedert (knee) ruled out for Sunday vs. Rams Fri Oct 2, 04:02 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams. Goedert did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Goedert was expected to miss a few weeks with the sprained MCL he suffered in Week 2. The team brought in Zach Ertz, and he was immediately active in Week 3. Ertz is coming off a season-ending ACL tear, but his cerebral game and knack for finding soft spots in coverage helped him get involved immediately. With DeVonta Smith also out this week, Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon will lead the receiver room. With many of their passing options down, expect the Eagles to lean heavily on Saquon Barkley in this matchup against the Rams. |
Dallas Goedert player page
Eagles | DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday vs. Rams Fri Oct 2, 04:02 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Rams. Smith sat out practice again on Friday before the decision.
| Footballguys view: Reports say Smith could miss more than this week after suffering a hamstring injury. The Eagles planned to build their passing attack around Smith and Dallas Goedert this year after trading away A.J. Brown. Now they're down to Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Zach Ertz as their top receivers. Expect a run-heavy game plan in Week 4 against the Rams. |

Titans | RB Tyjae Spears returns to full practice Fri Oct 2, 04:00 PM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: A full practice makes it almost certain that Spears will play this weekend. With Tony Pollard also expected to be active, touches will likely be split between the two backs. With how the Titans' offense has struggled to start this season, it's hard to rely on any running back as more than a desperation RB3. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Jets | Kenyon Sadiq (back), Kingsley Enagbare (knee) questionable for Sunday Fri Oct 2, 04:00 PM
Jets rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq (back) is questionable for Sunday's Week 4 game at the Bears. Sadiq was limited in Wednesday's practice. DE Kingsley Enagbare (knee) is also questionable for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq has been limited all week with this back injury. After already dealing with a handful of injuries since the start of training camp, there's some concern. But Sadiq proved just last week that he can be dominant regardless of his health. The Jets selected Sadiq 16th overall, and the athleticism that made him a premium pick has been on full display early. He's likely to be active this week and, if so, high up in the streaming discussion. If he's unexpectedly inactive, he plays early enough that managers can pivot. |

Buccaneers | Chris Godwin Jr. set to play Sunday against Packers Fri Oct 2, 03:59 PM
Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Jr. is set to play against the Packers on Sunday. Godwin, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, returned to full practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: It's good to see Godwin back on the field and trending towards playing this week. However, he's averaging just 37 yards per game this year, and undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will be getting his first NFL start with Baker Mayfield out. Desperate managers might not have a better option than Godwin, but fantasy managers should bench him where they can. |

Bills | DJ Moore 'good to go' for Sunday vs. Patriots Fri Oct 2, 03:46 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore is good to go for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He was limited in practice again on Friday, but he doesn't have a game status. Moore was also limited on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Moore played through this AC joint sprain last week, and there's no reason to think he won't again this week. Moore is one of the toughest players in the league, regularly playing through injuries. He's been a focal point of the Bills' passing attack when he's been on the field. Start him as a WR2. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey (foot) back at practice but 'stood and watched' during WR drills Fri Oct 2, 03:30 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) returned to practice on Friday after missing Thursday's session, but he did not run any routes or catch any passes with the rest of the Chargers receivers during the period open to media. McConkey "stood and watched" instead. He was limited on Wednesday with the foot injury.
| Footballguys view: McConkey's status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks is firmly in doubt. With a late kickoff, fantasy managers should have a pivot player. With Mike Evans' status also up in the air for the late slate, savvy managers will plan ahead rather than wait until the last minute and hope to get their choice off the waiver wire. There's not much information on this injury. When Jim Harbaugh was asked if he sustained the injury in practice, he replied, "I don't know. I just know his designation today." It sounds like McConkey could be trending towards an inactive game status or, even worse, a late-afternoon game-time decision. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson (ankle) aiming to return to practice next week Fri Oct 2, 03:25 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) will receive treatment over the next couple of days with the goal of returning to practice next week, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Friday. "He's going to get treatment throughout the next couple of days and the goal is try to get him back out there practicing next week. I know it's a big one for him next week going to Louisiana," O'Connell said. Jefferson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson didn't practice this week before being ruled out. This sounds like a relatively minor ankle injury, and it's likely that Jefferson is back out there in Week 5 against the Saints. |
Justin Jefferson player page
Raiders | Brock Bowers limited Friday but 'good to go' for Sunday vs. Chiefs Fri Oct 2, 03:22 PM
Raiders TE Brock Bowers was limited in practice on Friday but is good to go for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Bowers, who had been dealing with a knee injury, made his season debut last Sunday at the Saints, catching 10 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy managers who drafted Bowers only for him to have knee surgery the day before the season kicked off are probably panicking seeing the "Q" next to his name on their fantasy platforms, but this sounds like a case of managed practice reps. Bowers was dominant in his Week 3 debut, catching 10 of 14 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. If he's active (and he should be), you're starting him. It's that simple. |
Brock Bowers player page
Chargers | Charlie Kolar (forearm) back at practice Friday Fri Oct 2, 03:17 PM
Chargers TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) returned to practice on Friday. Kolar did not practice on Wednesday. The Chargers visit the Seahawks on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: After it was initially reported that Charlie Kolar would go on IR, the team never placed him there, hinting that he would likely return in less than four weeks. Kolar missed Week 3's game, but is already back at practice. His Week 4 availability is still very much in question. There was some hope that Oronde Gadsden could seize an opportunity with Kolar and David Njoku out, but that didn't happen last week. He may have another chance this weekend if Kolar can't go, but nothing from last week suggests he's a viable start this week. This Chargers tight end room is one to avoid in fantasy. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey (foot) back at practice Friday Fri Oct 2, 03:13 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) was at practice on Friday. McConkey was limited on Wednesday with the foot injury and was not seen at Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: McConkey was downgraded from a limited practice on Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday. A return to practice on Friday bodes well for his Week 4 availability. NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti noted "no limp" on Twitter when sharing a clip of him walking onto the field. We'll get more information on McConkey's Week 4 status after practice, but he's trending in the right direction. |
