  Steelers | Rodgers throws for 299 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Browns    Thu Oct 1, 11:46 PM

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).

  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.

  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.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Mahomes took a hard hit in the end zone on Sunday but stayed in the game.

  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.

  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.

Footballguys view: Daniels is getting some work in practice, but it seems like Marcus Mariota will get another start. The team responded to Mariota last week with a big win over Seattle. We have Mariota as a QB2 option against the Colts in Week 4. He's an option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/superflex leagues.

He rushed 19 times for 82 yards in the Panthers' Week 3 loss to the Browns, and Hubbard also had four receptions for 28 yards. He's getting some rest on Wednesday with an eye on a healthy workload on Sunday night against the Lions. We like him as an RB1/RB2 option, so make sure he is at least limited on Friday.

  Rams | McVay: Ferguson likely out 'certainly' opens door for Max Klare snaps vs. Eagles    Wed Sep 30, 05:24 PM

Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday that TE Terrance Ferguson being unlikely to play Sunday against the Eagles opens the door for rookie TE Max Klare to see more snaps. "It certainly does," McVay said. "Obviously being able to play with multiple tight ends has become a big part of our identity, and so it absolutely does."

Footballguys view: The rookie second-round pick is a seam-ripper who can make plays with the ball in his hands. He's capable of lining up in the slot, in-line, or out wide -- something McVay should use to his advantage. We love the rookie in dynasty formats, and we'll see if he can get enough work to be fantasy relevant for GMs in redraft leagues.

  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.
