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. |

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: Mike Garafolo, from NFL Network, reports Smith is "now sounding like he's legitimately questionable" for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Rams. He played last week banged up, so Smith should be out there in Week 4. We like him as a WR1 against the Rams. |

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. |

RB LeQuint Allen Jr., DT DaVon Hamilton, CB Christian Braswell and rookie DT Albert Regis were also limited, while CB Jarrian Jones (hip) was a full participant. On the Bengals' side, starting S Jordan Battle and S Bryan Cook were limited ahead of Sunday's Week 4 matchup in Cincinnati.

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
Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Jr. (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels is going to start for the Buccaneers with Baker Mayfield (thumb) out of action for a few weeks. 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 practice Wednesday Wed Sep 30, 06:15 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: There is a chance we'll see Jefferson on the field Sunday against the Dolphins. See what he can do on Friday at the latest. Have other plans ready just in case, but Jefferson should perform like a WR1 (as usual) if he's out there in Week 4. |

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. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker off to the side with trainers during Wednesday's team stretch Wed Sep 30, 01:19 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker had his helmet but was off to the side with trainers during the team stretch at Wednesday's practice. Coker is dealing with a quad strain that was described as "relatively mino"' on Monday.
| 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. |

Packers | Matt LaFleur says Jayden Reed's neck injury will end his season, not career-ending Wed Sep 30, 12:26 PM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday that WR Jayden Reed's neck injury will end his season. LaFleur added that the injury is not considered career-ending: "From my understanding, no. 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. |

Buccaneers | WR Jalen McMillan placed on injured reserve Wed Sep 30, 10:45 AM
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (knee) has been placed on injured reserve. ESPN lists an estimated return of November 22.
| Footballguys view: It's a PCL injury for McMillan, and he's expected to miss 6-8 weeks. McMillan has yet to play a full season in the NFL, and he's coming off a 2025 season where he missed all but four games. With zero catches this year in two games played, it's not like he's a big part of their offensive plan. |

WR Odell Beckham Jr. is being released by Giants Tue Sep 29, 01:16 PM
Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. is being released by New York after three games, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported.
| Footballguys view: Beckham was a nonfactor to this point, logging 20 snaps in three games after re-signing with the Giants this summer. The three-time Pro Bowler is second in Giants franchise history in receiving yards. The move left only three WRs on New York's 53-man roster -- Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields, and Darnell Mooney) --before the team signed WR/PR Braxton Berrios and WR Charlie Jones from their practice squad. |

Bengals | WR Mitchell Tinsley is signing with the Bengals Tue Sep 29, 12:16 PM
WR Mitchell Tinsley is signing to the Bengals' active roster off the Texans' practice squad, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: With Andrei Iosivas on IR and rookie Colbie Young suffering a knee injury against the Steelers this past Sunday, the Bengals need depth. Tinsley, whom the Bengals cut at the end of training camp, is an ideal addition after he played last season in Cincinnati and had eight catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals. |

Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown fine despite downtick in snaps Tue Sep 29, 01:38 AM
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown saw a slight downtick in snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets because of an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown, who played just 48 of a possible 65 snaps, left the field slowly several times. Head coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that St. Brown should be fine. "He just had a little something. I don't think it's a huge thing. Our guys today had him checked out," Campbell said. "You know, Saint, he doesn't want to get anything checked out. He's fine. You ask him, he's fine. So I think we'll be OK there." We'll be watching for more. |

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan has PCL sprain, early outlook is 6-8 weeks Tue Sep 29, 01:26 AM
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan has a PCL sprain in his left knee, the same injury he suffered during training camp, a source said on Monday. The early thinking is that he could miss 6-8 weeks, a timetable that factors in his previous injury. A second opinion will provide clarity on the timeline.
| Footballguys view: That timetable makes it likely McMillan will do a stint on injured reserve. Of course, with Baker Mayfield expected to miss three weeks with a dislocated thumb, and undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels set to start at QB, there's no reason to look beyond Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr. for now. |

49ers | Mike Evans considered 'day-to-day' with rib strain Mon Sep 28, 04:20 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans is considered day-to-day with a rib strain, reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Evans left Sunday's game against the Cardinals with the injury and underwent a full evaluation Monday. While rib strains can be painful, the pain can be managed in-game. We'll monitor Evans closely this week as the Niners prepare to take on the Broncos in Week 4. With receivers De'Zhaun Stribling, Demarcus Robinson, Christian Kirk, and Ricky Pearsall all on injured reserve, losing Evans for any meaningful period of time would cause significant issues for this offense. |

Rams | Puka Nacua 'increasingly unlikely' to return for Week 4 game at Eagles Mon Sep 28, 04:02 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua is increasingly unlikely to return from a hip and groin injury for the Week 4 game at the Eagles next Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Sean McVay acknowledged last week that Nacua was not progressing quickly, and reports have suggested the receiver would not require surgery, though it has not been ruled out entirely. The Rams offense struggled without Nacua in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. We'll continue to watch his progress -- or lack thereof -- closely. |

Ravens | Zay Flowers (hamstring) 'ready to push' for closer to full-time snaps Mon Sep 28, 03:33 PM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers is expected to see a bigger workload going forward after playing 21 snaps on Sunday against the Cowboys in his return from a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: "I think now he's coming out of this thing really ready to push to be back in there closer to full time," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said on Monday. Flowers caught five passes for 84 yards in the 34-31 win. We'll be watching for more this week as the Ravens prepare to take on the Titans in Week 4. Expect high-end WR2-to-WR1 production from a healthier Flowers. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson avoids long-term injury, has chance to play Week 4 Mon Sep 28, 03:32 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson avoided a long-term injury after spraining his ankle in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. Jefferson has a chance to play in Week 4 against the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: This would be a best-case outcome. And considering Jefferson attempted to re-enter the game before finally returning to the locker room, SI.com believes there's plenty of reason for optimism regarding his availability in a favorable matchup against Miami. The Dolphins' defense ranks 19th in pass defense and 26th in passing touchdowns allowed, presenting a potential must-start case for Jefferson if he returns, along with several other stars on Minnesota's offense. Jordan Addison will be ready to play a greater role if need be, but we'll be following Jefferson's progress all week. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker has 'minor' quad strain, considered questionable for Week 4 vs. Lions Mon Sep 28, 11:16 AM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker suffered a minor quad strain in Sunday's loss to the Browns and is considered questionable to play in Week 4 against the Lions, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday, per a source.
| Footballguys view: Coker played through an ankle injury that had him listed as questionable heading into the game, but it was the quad that ended his day in the third quarter. He finished with two catches for 18 yards. He has 18 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns on the season. We'll be monitoring his status as the Panthers prepare to play the Lions in Week 4. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo 'clearly RB1', Najee Harris takes over as RB2 in win over Titans Mon Sep 28, 09:18 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo was "clearly RB1" in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans and took over as the third-down back with RB Devin Singletary a healthy scratch, though he averaged 3 yards per carry and lost a fumble out of bounds, his second fumble in three games.
| Footballguys view: The Athletic's Dan Duggan added that RB Najee Harris "has quickly taken over as RB2" and ran nine times for 52 yards, while RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. was active because he is the only back who plays special teams. Meanwhile, Skattebo sits at RB19 in Dave Kluge's Rest of Season Rankings -- which is in line with his draft value. We'll see if Harris can cut further into his workload in the coming weeks. |

Browns | Raheim Sanders splits snaps 50/50 with Judkins, Jeudy at season-low 51% Mon Sep 28, 05:25 AM
Browns RB Raheim Sanders split snaps 50/50 with RB Quinshon Judkins in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
| Footballguys view: While Judkins' snap rate fell this week, Pro Football Focus's Nathan Jahnke believes it was likely because the Browns ran more plays in Week 3 than in the last two. His total number of snaps remained similar to the previous two weeks. Judkins remains an RB2 candidate heading into a Thursday night game against the Steelers in Week 4. Sanders, meanwhile, is worth rostering in deeper leagues. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams caught 7 passes for 137 yards on 13 targets in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 17.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.2.
| Footballguys view: In the first half, Adams had four catches for 71 yards on five targets when matched up against Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II, a player he called "one of the best DBs in the league." The 71 yards allowed to Adams were the most Surtain has given up in a first half in his career, according to ESPN's Sarah Barshop. The Rams play the Eagles in Week 4. While Puka Nacua's status will be a factor at some point, Adams remains a high-end WR1 option for fantasy managers. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson 'got close' to returning, MRI on ankle expected Monday Sun Sep 27, 08:48 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson left Sunday's win over the Buccaneers in the first quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game that Jefferson "got close" to returning before being ruled out, and that he will be evaluated further on Monday.
| Footballguys view: NBC's Mike Florio reported that an MRI will be part of that evaluation and that the Vikings hope Jefferson is dealing with a low-ankle injury. Jefferson had two catches for 32 yards before exiting and has 13 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns on the season. |

49ers | Mike Evans dealing with rib strain, full evaluation set for Monday Sun Sep 27, 08:25 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans is dealing with a rib strain after leaving Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Evans left the game on a cart and was quickly ruled out. He will have a full evaluation on Monday, though rib strains "can be painful."
| Footballguys view: After the game, head coach Kyle Shanahan said that the team didn't know if it was a rib or oblique injury and that Evans would have further tests done on Monday. "We don't know yet," Shanahan said. "We couldn't tell if it was a broken rib; we couldn't tell if it was an oblique, so it's something we'll find out probably more tomorrow." Those tests will determine the timetable for Evans' return to action. The 49ers play the Broncos in Week 4. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson sidelined by an ankle injury vs. Buccaneers Sun Sep 27, 08:25 PM
Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson was ruled out of Sunday's 23-16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering a first-quarter injury to his left ankle.
| Footballguys view: We should expect Jefferson to miss Week 4 against Miami at a minimum, and a multi-week absence is possible. The Vikings have a bye in Week 6, so Jefferson could get three weeks and only miss two games in a best-case scenario. In his absence, the Vikings shifted their offensive focus to No. 2 receiver Jordan Addison, who finished with five catches for 90 yards. Jauan Jennings and Tai Felton were the Vikings' other receivers when they used three-receiver sets, but they had just one reception between them. Minnesota plays the Dolphins in Week 4. |

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan will undergo an MRI on his left knee on Monday to determine the extent of his injury, per a source.

Raiders | Klint Kubiak confirms Jack Bech fractured his forearm Sun Sep 27, 07:59 PM
Raiders WR Jack Bech fractured his forearm, head coach Klint Kubiak said on Sunday. Bech was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Saints with the forearm injury.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, Bech's injury isn't believed to be season-ending, but the wide receiver will miss at least four weeks if he's placed on injured reserve, which would require an official transaction from the Raiders. He didn't record a catch Sunday prior to being ruled out against the Saints. |
