  Browns | Jeudy at season-low 38% of snaps, Boston and Concepcion near 100% vs. Steelers    Fri Oct 2, 09:06 AM

Rookie WRs Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion Jr. each finished just a few snaps shy of 100%. Jeudy had played a then-season-low 51% of the snaps in the prior week's win over the Panthers.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of 40 passes for 299 yards with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 14.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.0.

  Seahawks | Jadarian Price DNP with chest injury Thursday, Charbonnet and Okada return    Thu Oct 1, 07:16 PM

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price did not practice on Thursday because of a chest injury, a step back after he was limited on Wednesday. RB Zach Charbonnet returned to practice Thursday after being designated to return from the PUP list. S Ty Okada, who did not practice Wednesday, also returned on Thursday.

Footballguys view: With Charbonnet back at practice, the team opened a 21-day window for him to return to the lineup (or get shut down for the year). We'll see if Price can play in Week 4, and this DNP on Thursday is not a great sign. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani would do more if Price can't play (and Charbonnet is not quite ready to return in Week 4).

  Broncos | Waddle, Dobbins, Mims full again; DE Dondrea Tillman 'trending towards being out'    Thu Oct 1, 07:14 PM

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle, RB J.K. Dobbins and WR Marvin Mims Jr. were full participants in practice again on Thursday and look on track to play Sunday against the 49ers. DE Dondrea Tillman appears to be trending toward being out. DT Zach Allen went from a rest day on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday, while DT D.J. Jones got a rest day.

Footballguys view: Waddle was hot in Week 2, and then he was cold in Week 3. We'll see if the team can get him more involved on the road against the 49ers. Having a strong rushing attack would help, but Dobbins looks like he's still shaking off the rust from being injured last year. We like Dobbins as an RB3/flex while Waddle is a WR2/flex for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats.

  Dolphins | Jaylen Wright (foot) upgraded to full participant on Thursday    Thu Oct 1, 05:32 PM

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (foot) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Wright's stinger was previously removed from the injury report, leaving only the foot issue.

Footballguys view: The matchup against the Vikings on Sunday is "not great Bob." However, Wright has big-play ability anytime he touches the ball and is listed atop the depth chart for the Dolphins. We've got Wright as an RB4 in PPR formats this week. Ollie Gordon IIwill work in tandem with Wright, and we think he's in a similar flex/RB4 range.

  Vikings | Caleb Douglas, Justin Jefferson miss second straight practice    Thu Oct 1, 05:27 PM

Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) and Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) both missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday.

Footballguys view: Jefferson needs to practice on Friday for Fantasy GMs to feel good about his availability against the Dolphins. Everyone needs to keep an eye on his status, and there's a chance the team just calls him a game-time decision.

  Texans | Nico Collins (hamstring) limited again Thursday, Will Anderson Jr. full    Thu Oct 1, 04:55 PM

Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was limited in practice again on Thursday. DE Jadeveon Clowney (knee bruise) and LB Jake Hansen (calf) were also limited. DE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle), S Calen Bullock (quad), S M.J. Stewart (knee), LB Wade Woodaz (ankle, thumb) and DT Logan Hall (knee) were full participants.

Footballguys view: Collins has been limited in two days of practice this week. The Texans' offense needs more firepower, and they've been missing Collins. The team won't rush him back, obviously, but it would be a boost to have him out there in what could be a shootout against the Cowboys.

  Jets | Breece Hall (knee) misses practice again Thursday    Thu Oct 1, 04:46 PM

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Hall also missed Wednesday's practice after being labeled "week-to-week" following an MRI on Monday.

Footballguys view: Hall is week-to-week with this knee injury, and it doesn't seem like he'll be ready for Week 4's game against the Bears. Braelon Allen should be the starter for the Jets this week, and we like him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs.

  Panthers | Xavier Legette not ruled out yet but 'trending in that direction', Coker limited    Thu Oct 1, 04:46 PM

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (knee) has not been ruled out for this week's game yet, but is "trending in that direction." Head coach Dave Canales called Legette week-to-week on Wednesday. Legette did not practice on Thursday, while WR Jalen Coker (quad) was limited.

Footballguys view: Coker is working to get out there in Week 4 on Sunday night against the Lions. The late start means Fantasy GMs planning on Coker need to be very certain of his status. We'll have a better idea if Coker will play after Friday's practice. A full practice on Friday would make us feel a heckuva lot better about his availability in Week 4.

  Saints | Travis Etienne Jr. to IR with hamstring injury, will miss at least four games    Thu Oct 1, 04:41 PM

Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. has been placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, head coach Kellen Moore announced on Thursday. Etienne will miss at least four games, starting with Monday night's game against the Falcons. He leads the Saints with 30 carries and 128 rushing yards, and Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and CJ Donaldson are the team's other running backs. The Saints signed WR Kevin Austin Jr. off the practice squad to fill the roster spot; Austin appeared in the first three games as a temporary elevation and has one catch for seven yards.

Footballguys view: With a bye in Week 8, the earliest we can see Etienne out there is Week 9. In the meantime, Alvin Kamara takes over as the lead back for the Saints. Kendre Miller will get some work too, and CJ Donaldson might get an increase in touches. Against the Falcons on Monday night in Week 4, Kamara should perform like an RB2/flex option.

  Rams | Puka Nacua in pads for practice, Aaron Donald not seen in individual drills    Thu Oct 1, 04:39 PM

Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin/hip) was in pads for practice on Thursday. Nacua was limited in Wednesday's practice. DT Aaron Donald (back), who missed practice on Wednesday, was not seen during individual drills on Thursday.

Footballguys view: Things are trending in the right direction for Nacua. He should be out there against the Eagles in Week 4. We've got him as a WR2 with WR1 upside. Let's see if he can play, and let's see if the Rams have him on any sort of snap count to prevent an aggravation.

  Titans | Tony Pollard (foot) upgraded to full practice Thursday    Thu Oct 1, 04:32 PM

Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday after he did not practice on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: The "DNP" on Wednesday is in the past with a full practice on Thursday. Without any setbacks, Pollard is good for Week 4. We've got Pollard in the RB2/flex range for this week's contest against the Ravens on Sunday.

  Giants | Jameis Winston starts Sunday, says 'I have to play well regardless' of McCarthy    Thu Oct 1, 04:31 PM

Giants QB Jameis Winston will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals despite the team trading for QB J.J. McCarthy this week. "I mean, I have to play well regardless," Winston said Thursday. "It doesn't matter who's in the building. When you're the quarterback for the New York Football Giants, you have to give your team a chance to win, and that's just the business that we're in."

Footballguys view: The Giants traded for McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024, and he's likely to start at some point in the future. After struggling in relief of QB Jaxson Dart in Week 2 (Dart has since been ruled out for the season), Winston avoided turnovers while going 14-of-22 for 118 yards in last Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans. Winston starts while McCarthy gets used to his new team/offense/teammates.

  49ers | Mike Evans (ribs) on side field, Hodge not seen; McCaffrey back practicing    Thu Oct 1, 04:11 PM

49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs) worked on the side field at Thursday's practice, while WR KhaDarel Hodge (knee) was not seen. RB Christian McCaffrey (rest) and LT Trent Williams (neck) were practicing in the early portion. DE Nick Bosa (knee/calf) and rookie DT James Thompson Jr. (ankle) were not seen, while LB Dre Greenlaw (quad) and DE Keion White (hamstring) were on the side field.

Footballguys view: The team wants Evans to play on Sunday against the Broncos. If he does play, CB Patrick Surtain II is likely to cover the veteran receiver. McCaffrey just got some rest on Wednesday, and he's in line for a large workload (and potentially huge production) against a Broncos defense that has struggled to stop the run.

  Eagles | DeVonta Smith (hamstring) not seen at practice, Hollywood Brown also appears sidelined    Thu Oct 1, 02:42 PM

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Thursday. WR Hollywood Brown also appeared to be sidelined. Smith did not practice on Wednesday, when he was listed as a non-participant, and Brown also sat out that day. The Eagles host the Rams on Sunday.

Footballguys view: NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports Smith is "now sounding like he's legitimately questionable" for Sunday's game against the Rams, and he's now missed two straight practices. He played through the hamstring last week, but that's no guarantee he can do it again. If Smith is active, he's a WR2 with upside, though a hamstring can limit his snaps. Have a backup plan ready and watch for his status before kickoff.

  Commanders | Jayden Daniels limited again, 'not concerned' about reinjuring elbow    Thu Oct 1, 02:40 PM

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow) was a limited participant for a second straight practice on Thursday and will wear a brace on his left arm for the rest of the season. "That's what the brace is for," Daniels said of reinjury concerns. "If I had that concern, I would have gotten surgery."

Footballguys view: Head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday there is still "a chance" Daniels plays Sunday against the Colts in London, but "we're not going to put him out there before he's ready," and QB Marcus Mariota would make a second straight start if Daniels is ruled out.

  Bills | Keon Coleman 'looks ready to go' Thursday, DJ Moore in red non-contact jersey again    Thu Oct 1, 02:28 PM

Bills WR Keon Coleman was stretching and "looks ready to go" at the start of the media viewing portion of practice on Thursday, after missing Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury. WR DJ Moore was in a red non-contact jersey once again; he was limited on Wednesday with a shoulder injury. CB Christian Benford was once again not present at the start of practice.

Footballguys view: Coleman should be out there in Week 4, but his role will be limited and not fantasy relevant. Moore caught 6-of-10 targets for 67 yards in the Bills' Week 3 win over the Chargers. He did that while limited during the week, just like he is this week. Moore is a WR2/flex with upside for us in Week 4.

  Panthers | Bryce Young wearing small brace on left knee, appears to be full participant again    Thu Oct 1, 02:26 PM

Panthers QB Bryce Young is wearing a small brace on his left knee, which he tweaked against the Browns on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Just something to note here as the season grind has begun. Young was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and appeared to be practicing fully again on Thursday. We've got him as a low-end QB1 against the Lions on Sunday night.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) could be upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice, the reporter said he 'wouldn't be surprised' to see. Jackson was limited in Wednesday's practice. DE Trey Hendrickson (finger), C Jovaughn Gwyn (fractured fibula) and C Ethan Pocic (knee) were not present during the media viewing portion of Thursday's practice. Gwyn and Pocic are still likely candidates to go on injured reserve.

  49ers | Nick Bosa almost certain to miss Week 4; Evans to make 'every attempt' to play    Thu Oct 1, 12:41 PM

49ers DE Nick Bosa is almost certainly going to miss Sunday's game against the Broncos with the calf injury that kept him out in Week 3, general manager John Lynch said Thursday on KNBR. "I think he's working through it, and when he's right, we'll have him back out there," Lynch said. "I'm not trying to be vague. Calf injuries are sometimes murky." Lynch also said WR Mike Evans (rib), who missed Wednesday's practice, is "going to make every attempt to try to play" through the injury, and that LT Trent Williams (stinger) could return to practice Thursday.

  Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. to get all first-team reps in first full week, says Stefanski    Thu Oct 1, 12:01 PM

Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. will get all the first-team reps this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Thursday. Stefanski said it will be the first full week that Penix gets all of the first-team work. Penix returned to the lineup in Atlanta's Week 3 win over the Packers.

Footballguys view: Penix completed 18-of-25 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Falcons' 35-14 Week 3 win over the Packers. He did that without a full week of practice with the first-team offense. Against the Saints on Monday night, we've got Penix as a low-end QB2.

  Steelers | Steelers trading Joey Porter Jr. to Cowboys for second-round pick, conditional sixth    Wed Sep 30, 11:57 PM

The Steelers are finalizing a trade that sends CB Joey Porter Jr. to the Cowboys, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday. Pittsburgh will receive a second-round pick and a conditional sixth-round pick, Jordan Schultz reported.

Footballguys view: Porter missed training camp on the PUP list with a back issue amid the lack of a long-term extension, and although he returned to practice ahead of Week 1, he did not play in any of Pittsburgh's first three games. He had already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Browns and has three career interceptions in three seasons.

I think they saw what they thought they were going to see and just fixed it. The timeline doesn't really change too much," head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday. Dart's recovery is expected to take four to six months, and Harbaugh said of a possible return by the playoffs, "Maybe that's a little ambitious."

Footballguys view: Reports indicated Waddle was seen wearing a boot at home, but it's seen as a non-serious issue. Waddle should be good to go against the 49ers on Sunday. He was quiet in Week 3 after a monster performance in Week 2. We like Waddle as a WR2/flex with upside in this matchup.

Footballguys view: The 49ers are at home to face the Broncos on Sunday. They are working to get Evans out there, but expect him to miss most of practice this week. Rib injuries usually come down to pain tolerance, so Evans may be a game-time decision for Week 4. That means all Fantasy GMs need to check his status on Friday to see whether his decision gets pushed to gameday morning.

  Bears | Ben Johnson won't name QB for Jets yet, says 'the direction's already been made'    Wed Sep 30, 06:29 PM

Bears head coach Ben Johnson was not ready to name a starting quarterback for Sunday's home game against the Jets on Wednesday, saying "We've got three guys" and that the starter will be "whoever we feel like gives us the best chance to win." Johnson said QB Case Keenum's performance in Monday's 27-7 win over the Eagles, when he threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score, "plays a part of the evaluation," adding that "the direction's already been made, so we'll be in good shape for Sunday." QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) is "getting better every single day" but would not be at Wednesday's walkthrough, Johnson said. QB Tyson Bagent was not cleared from the concussion protocol until Sunday.

Footballguys view: Keenum was simply dazzling on Monday night against the Eagles. If Williams can't play, although he should be getting closer to a return, we think it makes sense to stick with Keenum over Tyson Bagent. Coming out of training camp, Bagent won the no.2 job behind Williams. We'll see if Johnson rides the hot hand (Keenum) this week.
