Packers RB Chris Brooks hurt an ankle in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers and is questionable to return. He was leading the team with 30 yards on 4 carries before exiting. His absence leaves Green Bay with RBs MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase left in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars to get checked for a concussion. We'll update his status when we know more.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley pulled up with an apparent right leg injury on his second carry against the Rams. Barkley sustained a non-contact injury, pulling up as he reached the sideline. He hopped around keeping weight off the leg and then seemed to be trying to work out the hamstring before leaving with trainers. Barkley was, at least, walking down the sideline under his own power. We'll watch for updates on this situation.
Update: Barkley is questionable to return with a hamstring injury.
Update: Barkley has been ruled out.
The Commanders are planning to get QB Jayden Daniels back from his elbow injury for Week 5, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports. Daniels got in limited practices this week with a bulky brace on that left elbow. We'll see if he plans to wear that vs. the Giants next week, but he'll certainly come with some re-injury risk.
Fox's Jay Glazer reports that 49ers WR Mike Evans will start today's game against the Broncos. He'll play with a protective vest over his injured rib. There certainly might still be risk that Evans needs to leave early or sees his playing time limited by pain management, but Evans belongs in lineup consideration in most cases. Check our updated rankings or your Team Dashboard to see if you should use him.
Titans S Kevin Winston Jr. is active for today's game against the Ravens. He turned up questionable after sustaining a shoulder injury in Thursday's practice and sitting out Friday, but Winston looks available for usual IDP usage. I did know down his snap projection a little for the shoulder risk.
Bills CB Christian Benford is inactive for today's game against the Patriots because of a toe injury. It's not surprising after Benford missed the entire practice week. Avoiding Buffalo's top corner obviously helps the New England pass offense, but we're not significantly elevating any specific Pats WR for the matchup.
Patriots LB Christian Elliss (chest), Edge Dre'Mont Jones (shoulder), and S Craig Woodson (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Bills. All entered the day questionable but can be used as planned in IDP leagues.
Rams TE Colby Parkinson (knee, shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) landed on IR this week, leaving Los Angeles down to TEs Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and Max Klare. Higbee is the best fantasy bet but isn’t a recommended TE1 start with WR Puka Nacua back today.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He was listed as questionable after going limited, full, limited in practice this week. But ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported this morning that Flowers won’t be on a “hard pitch count” today. Get him in starting lineups.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He should continue to play a secondary role behind RB Tony Pollard and would be a desperation fantasy start.
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was limited in practice all week but never seemed to be in danger of missing this one. Sadiq should be busy again today with WR Adonai Mitchell and TE Mason Taylor out.
Commanders QB Marcus Mariota suffered a right leg injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Colts. He went into the medical tent and then headed back to the locker room with trainers. With QB Jayden Daniels inactive today, Washington is down to seventh-round rookie QB Athan Kaliakmanis.
Update: Mariota is questionable to return with a knee injury.
Update: Mariota has been ruled out.
We've already heard -- and passed along -- that the Buccaneers expect QB Baker Mayfield to miss three weeks with his dislocated right thumb. But that appears to be the short end of his return window. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Mayfield is expected to miss "anywhere from three to six weeks, depending on how quickly he is able to grip the football."
Colts WR Darius Slayton is a healthy scratch vs. the Commanders today, despite the team missing WRs Alec Pierce and Keenan Allen. Active for Indianapolis today:
The Colts' passing game should flow through Downs and TE Tyler Warren today.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is inactive for this morning’s game vs. the Colts. He presumably hurt his hamstring in Friday’s practice and could miss multiple games. Washington’s Week 7 bye could factor into McLaurin’s return timeline. His absence today leaves Stefon Diggs as the Commanders’ top WR and a nice fantasy start.
The Rams "do not intend to limit Puka Nacua's workload" vs. the Eagles today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nacua practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and was not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. There's still more risk here than usual in Nacua's first action since the opener, but he'd be impossible to leave out of Week 4 fantasy lineups.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Titans today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Flowers went from a limited practice on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday but was limited again on Friday. He's listed as questionable. There's still some added risk here, but Flowers would be nearly impossible to leave out of Week 4 fantasy lineups. He's posted 6-150-1 and 5-84-0 lines in his 2 games this season, despite playing limited snaps in both.
Update: ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Flowers won’t be on a “hard pitch count” today. We’re not sure exactly what a soft pitch count looks like, but it at least sounds like Flowers should exceed last week’s 33% snap rate.
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is "unlikely" to play vs. the Lions tonight, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Coker is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Carolina has a Week 5 bye coming up, though, so Coker can get extended time off before hopefully returning in Week 6. Carolina will also be without WR Xavier Legette (knee) tonight, leaving WR Brycen Tremayne as the likely No. 2. WR Tetairoa McMillan should be in for big volume, and TE Darren Waller could also get a target boost.
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is "likely" to play vs. the Seahawks this afternoon, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McConkey is listed as questionable after getting in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, but Rapoport says this foot injury is not as serious as the rib injury McConkey suffered in Week 1. It still adds some risk to a guy who's already operating in a struggling offense. McConkey lands 28th in our Week 4 WR rankings.
