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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Rams | Puka Nacua 'good to go' for Sunday against Eagles Fri Oct 2, 02:32 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Eagles, head coach Sean McVay said on Friday. Nacua had been dealing with a hip injury this week.
| Footballguys view: Sarah Barshop added that "the Rams are still working through how they will navigate his snap count," leaving some uneasiness about his Week 4 outlook. Nacua missed last week's game with a hip injury, and rumors began to swirl. "Soft suspensions," "contract disputes," and "pre-hernia" speculation have circulated on social media, but the Rams have been pretty tight-lipped about the details of his absence. If he's active, it's hard to imagine anyone benching Nacua. He's one of the league's most dominant players and has played through injuries successfully many times in his young career. In this situation, it's probably best to ignore the noise and listen to what the team is telling us. If he's "good to go," per Sean McVay, start him. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson (ankle) ruled out for Sunday against Dolphins Fri Oct 2, 02:30 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Dolphins. Jefferson was absent from practice on both Thursday and Friday.
| Footballguys view: After not practicing all week, Jefferson was expected to miss Week 4. The team confirmed he avoided a high ankle sprain, so there's hope he can play as soon as next week. With Jefferson leaving last week's game early, Jordan Addison had an impressive game with 90 yards and a touchdown. Addison will rank as a back-end WR2 against a porous Miami defense this week, and we'll hope Jefferson can return for Week 5. |

Bills | Keon Coleman 'good to go' vs. Patriots, Ray Davis and Christian Benford questionable Fri Oct 2, 02:01 PM
Bills WR Keon Coleman (ankle) should be "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Patriots, head coach Joe Brady said on Friday. RB Ray Davis (hamstring) and CB Christian Benford (toe) are questionable, and DT T.J. Sanders is doubtful.
| Footballguys view: Coleman missed Wednesday's practice, logged a limited day on Thursday, and was cleared after Friday's practice. That's about the best-case scenario you can hope for. Coleman had one of the best games of his young career in Week 2, catching all six of his targets for 63 yards. His next game was cut short by this ankle injury, but he's "good to go" for Week 4. He's a shaky WR4, but he has upside if desperate fantasy managers are looking for it. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson (ankle) absent from practice again Friday Fri Oct 2, 01:20 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) was not at practice on Friday. Jefferson also did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Head coach Kevin O'Connell is scheduled to speak to reporters later Friday afternoon. The Vikings host the Dolphins on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy managers should treat Jefferson as out this week. He hasn't practiced all week after suffering an ankle injury. Our injury analyst, Adam Hutchison, projects Jefferson to return in Week 5, speculating that he may have suffered an eversion ankle sprain. Per Hutchison: "These injuries can still result in an extended absence, but the typical timeline is closer to 1-2 weeks. More importantly for fantasy, there are fewer severe outlier cases associated with significant declines in production after returning compared to high ankle sprains." While fantasy managers would love to have Jefferson this week, it's relieving that he avoided the dreaded high ankle sprain that could have kept him out much longer. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin questionable for London after hamstring issue 'popped up' in practice Fri Oct 2, 01:02 PM
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin had a hamstring issue pop up in practice on Friday and is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts in London. McLaurin caught six passes for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin wasn't on the Wednesday or Thursday injury report, and a late-week addition is never good. With an early kickoff in the London game, it's imperative that fantasy managers plan as if McLaurin won't play. The flexibility of an island game before the rest means there will be no shortage of pivot options if McLaurin can't go. If we don't get clarity on McLaurin's status on Saturday, don't forget to set your alarms for Sunday morning at 8 a.m. ET. when inactives are announced. |

Colts | WR Keenan Allen (groin) did not practice Friday Fri Oct 2, 01:00 PM
Colts WR Keenan Allen (groin) did not participate in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Allen was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, so this isn't great news. A Friday DNP could just be preferential treatment for an aging vet or a sign of a more serious injury than initially anticipated. Allen got out of the gates quickly the last two seasons before cooling off. Now 34 years old and with a lengthy list of major injuries, it's understandable to question how his body can withstand the wear and tear of an NFL season. If he's out there, he's drawing enough volume to be a WR3 in fantasy lineups. But managers should try to plan for future weeks if they're relying on Allen now. |

Panthers | WR Xavier Legette ruled out for Week 4 Fri Oct 2, 12:45 PM
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (knee) is listed as out on the Week 4 injury report. Xavier Legette did not participate in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Legette didn't practice at all this week, so there's no surprise that he won't be ready for Sunday night. Even if active, Legette would have been little more than a desperation play in deep leagues. |
Xavier Legette player page
Panthers | Jalen Coker questionable vs. Lions Fri Oct 2, 12:31 PM
WR Jalen Coker (quad) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions after he did not take part in individual drills at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Coker didn't practice at the start of the week but returned on Thursday and logged back-to-back days, albeit in limited fashion. Dave Canales tipped his hand a bit, saying the team would activate Ja'Seem Reed if Coker isn't available, so fantasy managers can keep an eye out for that. In the few clips circulating from today's practice, Coker doesn't look completely healthy, showing some hesitancy in fully opening up his stride. If he's active, he'll be a risky WR4. If he can't play this week but logs a full practice heading into Week 5, managers can start him with much more confidence. The Panthers play Sunday night, so watching Reed's activation will help us decide what to do with Coker before the early slate of games. |

Texans | Nico Collins at practice Friday, body appears to have 'responded well' Fri Oct 2, 11:46 AM
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was on the field for practice on Friday. It would seem his body "responded well to two back-to-back practices."
| Footballguys view: Collins has a history of soft-tissue issues, and he has been held out since Week 1 with this hamstring. However, he seems to be trending toward a Week 4 return after rejoining practice at the start of the week. Assuming Collins is back in the lineup, he'll have a nice return against a susceptible Cowboys secondary. The small risk of re-injury will keep him from his normal ranking as a top WR1, but he's still worth a start in almost all situations. |

Jets | Breece Hall, Adonai Mitchell, Mason Taylor ruled out for Sunday vs. Bears Fri Oct 2, 10:46 AM
Jets RB Breece Hall, WR Adonai Mitchell and TE Mason Taylor have been ruled out for Sunday's Week 4 game at the Bears. LG Dylan Parham and LB Kiko Mauigoa are also out. Hall, Mitchell and Taylor all missed practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Hall is managing a quad injury, Mitchell a finger, and Taylor a thumb. Their absences most directly benefit Braelon Allen and Kenyon Sadiq. Allen should be the team's primary running back, and Sadiq will have a chance to build on a huge Week 3. Allen is a high-end RB2, and Sadiq lands near the top of the tight-end streaming tier. In what could be a shootout against the Bears, get both in your lineups where you have them. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Broncos | WR Jaylen Waddle practiced in full Wednesday Wed Sep 30, 06:45 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
| 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. |

49ers | WR Mike Evans (ribs) did not practice Wednesday Wed Sep 30, 06:30 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| 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. |

Buccaneers | WR Chris Godwin Jr. (ankle) did not practice Wednesday Wed Sep 30, 06:15 PM

At less than 100 percent, and with a backup quarterback tossing him the ball, we've got Godwin more in the deep (what the heck) flex range in Week 4. |

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Packers | Tyreek Hill teases comeback, says he's 'ready for some cold weather' Wed Sep 30, 02:26 PM
Free agent WR Tyreek Hill tweeted on Wednesday that he is "ready for some cold weather" after spending the previous four NFL seasons with the Dolphins. The post came around the time the Packers announced WR Jayden Reed (neck) will miss the rest of the season. Hill, 32, suffered a torn ACL and a dislocated knee in Week 4 of last season, and he tweeted on Monday that it's "almost time to get off the couch and get to work."
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus said doctors recommended the veteran wide receiver postpone his comeback until "perhaps some time in October." Well, here we are and Hill is putting the word out that he's back up. Now, we'll see if any team wants to bite. He suffered a dislocated knee, torn ACL and LCL, along with other ligament damage in Week 4 last season. Coming back from that serious injury, Hill should have some suitors if he can pass a physical. That means we might be recommending him as a waiver wire addition in the near future. Stay tuned. |

Texans | Nico Collins back at practice, Texans hoping for his return vs. Cowboys Wed Sep 30, 02:01 PM
Texans WR Nico Collins returned to practice on Wednesday. The 0-3 Texans are hoping the returns of Collins and Ed Ingram will boost their struggling offense against the Cowboys on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: There's a good chance we see Collins in Week 4. After missing two games in a row, Collins is finally trending in the right direction. The Texans need help on offense, and Collins will provide that for C.J. Stroud. In fact, Collins should step back into his normal WR1 role for Fantasy GMs if he can get out there on Sunday. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson among five absent Wednesday, Flowers and Stanley practicing Wed Sep 30, 01:45 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was one of five players not present during the media viewing portion of Wednesday's practice. DE Trey Hendrickson (finger), DT Calais Campbell (likely rest day), C Jovaughn Gwyn (broken fibula) and C Ethan Pocic (knee) were also not present. WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) was practicing Wednesday, and LT Ronnie Stanley (toe) returned to practice after not playing Sunday.
| Footballguys view: A limited practice to start the week is a good sign for Flowers. He was on a snap count last week, but he still was able to contribute. Flowers caught 5-of-6 targets for 84 yards in the Ravens' Week 3 win over the Cowboys, adding one carry for 20 additional yards. Even if he's on a snap count again, we like Flowers as a high-end WR2 for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

| Footballguys view: Panthers HC Dave Canales wants to see Coker move around a bit before he gets out there to practice. He's considered day-to-day with this quad injury. Coker is considered questionable for Week 4 against the Lions, so make sure to have a backup plan ready. |

Dolphins | Jaylen Wright to be limited, Caleb Douglas will not practice Wednesday Wed Sep 30, 12:32 PM
Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright will be a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, head coach Jeff Hafley said. Rookie WR Caleb Douglas will not practice. Wright missed Sunday's game against the Chiefs, and Douglas was ruled out for that game. De'Von Achane was placed on injured reserve on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are looking to Wright, especially if they didn't get Ollie Gordon II on the waiver wire this week. The Dolphins are likely to use an RBBC featuring both Gordon and Wright (if healthy). Wright said he was "very close" to playing in Week 3, so we imagine he'll be out there in Week 4 barring any setback. We see Gordon as an RB3/flex option and Wright is a big-play RB4/deep flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 4. |

Packers | Jayden Reed to undergo season-ending neck surgery, placed on IR Wed Sep 30, 12:30 PM
Packers WR Jayden Reed will undergo season-ending neck surgery, head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Wednesday. Reed was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Green Bay went through a lengthy process with many evaluations and opinions and took a patient approach before deciding surgery was the best course of action for Reed.
| Footballguys view: Neck injuries are nothing to mess around with, so the Packers are shutting him down for the 2026 season. Reed will have to see if he can make a comeback next season. Without Reed, the Packers will turn to guys like TE Tucker Kraft, WR Christian Watson, and WR Matthew Golden even more in the passing attack. |

But he will be out a significant amount of time." Reed was placed on injured reserve with the neck injury earlier on Wednesday.

Breece Hall, Mason Taylor, Adonai Mitchell all 'week to week', miss Wednesday practice Wed Sep 30, 12:10 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall, TE Mason Taylor, WR Adonai Mitchell, LB Kiko Mauigoa and G Dylan Parham did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Aaron Glenn said all five are "week to week." Glenn added there is a "good chance" S Minkah Fitzpatrick plays Sunday against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Braelon Allen would be the top back for the Jets if Hall is out against the Bears on Sunday. We like Allen as a runner, and Fantasy GMs should consider him an RB2 option if he gets the starting nod. Mitchell was out of action in Week 3, and a missed practice on Wednesday means he may not yet be ready to return. Let's see if he can get out there later in the week. Garrett Wilson and Kenyon Sadiq would do more if Mitchell has to miss another game. |

Panthers | WR David Moore signed to active roster from practice squad Wed Sep 30, 11:01 AM
Panthers WR David Moore was signed to the active roster from the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers have some banged up wide receivers, so that's why Moore gets the call-up. Panthers HC Dave Canales said WR Jalen Coker (who missed Wednesday's practice with a quad injury) is "more day-to-day" while WR Xavier Legette (knee) is week-to-week. |
