Saquon Barkley Seen Hobbling After Run vs. Rams, Questionable to Return
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Los Angeles Rams due to a hamstring injury, according to the team. He was seen hobbling after a six-yard run against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. Following the run, Barkley was spotted limping on the sideline and then went to the blue medical tent. Running back Tank Bigsby has entered the lineup in Barkley's absence. Will Shipley is also available in the backfield for the Eagles.

Jaylin Lane Has Serious Ankle Injury
Washington Commanders wide receiver and returner Jaylin Lane is dealing with a serious ankle injury, according to head coach Dan Quinn, as reported by JP Finlay of NBC4 Sports Washington. Lane was injured on a kickoff return early in the third quarter of a Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London. He did not appear to be able to put any pressure on his left leg and had to be carted off of the field. Lane was quickly ruled out of the game and did not return. Lane did not record any receptions and had three kickoff returns for 80 yards (26.7 yards per return) against the Colts. He has tallied two receptions for 25 yards (12.5 yards per attempt) in 2026.

Joe Mixon Visiting Seahawks, Worth a Stash?
Free-agent running back Joe Mixon is visiting the Seattle Seahawks, according to Jay Glazer on FOX. Mixon has not played since 2024 after a foot injury wiped out his entire 2025 season, but he was still productive the last time he was on the field. He rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns on 245 carries in 14 games for Houston while adding 36 catches for 309 yards and another score. Seattle has a reason to look for help. Rookie Jadarian Price (chest) was placed on injured reserve Saturday and must miss at least four games. Zach Charbonnet (knee) returned to practice this week but cannot be activated until Week 5 at the earliest as he works back from a torn ACL. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani are among the backs currently available. Mixon is only visiting at this point, so there is no guarantee he signs, but his past production and Seattle's short-term uncertainty make him a reasonable speculative stash in deeper fantasy leagues.

Marcus Mariota Expected to Miss Time After Aggravating MCL Injury
Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota (right knee) aggravated the MCL injury he first suffered during the preseason and is expected to miss some time, according to Ian Rapoport. Mariota will undergo additional testing after leaving Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in the first quarter. He completed three of four passes for 46 yards and added a 35-yard run before going down. Rapoport also reported that there is hope Jayden Daniels (left elbow) can return in Week 5 against the New York Giants. Daniels was limited in all three practices this past week but was ruled out Friday, with Washington planning to reevaluate him after another week of work. If Daniels is not ready, rookie Athan Kaliakmanis would be next in line with Mariota now expected to miss time.

Mike Evans Will Play Through Fractured Ribs
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs) will play Sunday against the Denver Broncos despite dealing with fractured ribs, according to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer. Evans will wear protective covering over the injured area during the game. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday before returning for a limited session Friday, and the 49ers listed him as questionable coming into the weekend. Evans has 12 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns through three games. He'll give it a go against Denver, though how much the rib injury affects him once the game starts remains to be seen.

Brock Bowers Added to Injury Report with Illness, Still Expected to Play
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (illness) has been added to the injury report, but his status for Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs remains unchanged, according to Sam Warren of The Athletic. Bowers will play against the Chiefs on Sunday. This injury report update from the organization was merely procedural, as the Raiders are required to report any injuries or illnesses that are impacting their players. Barring a setback, Bowers should operate at full strength as the Raiders look to improve to an unimaginable 4-0 record. The 23-year-old tight end was quite impressive in his season debut last week, catching 10 passes for 116 yards and one touchdown. He wasted no time developing a strong rapport with Kirk Cousins, and he should remain a high-end TE1 in fantasy football for Week 4.

Lane Johnson Inactive Against Rams
Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams due to personal reasons, according to Ian Rapoport. Johnson was added to the game-status report Sunday morning as questionable after carrying no designation coming out of the practice week. The Eagles are also without backup tackle Fred Johnson (knee) for the second straight game, so rookie Markel Bell is set to make his first NFL start at right tackle. It is a notable change up front for an offense built around Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, with Philadelphia suddenly turning to an inexperienced option on the right side of the line.

Tyjae Spears Officially Active for Week 4
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 25-year-old has been off the fantasy radar almost entirely this year due to the state of the Titans' offense and his role behind Tony Pollard. Through three games, Spears ranks as the overall RB49 in PPR leagues with 58 rushing yards and 41 receiving yards. Even his receiving contributions seem to have been scaled back, as he has been limited to a modest (by his standards) four catches on six targets this season. He should still be rostered in 12+ team leagues, but there's no reason to start him in fantasy lineups at this point.

Colby Parkinson Inactive Against Eagles
Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Nate Atkins. Parkinson did not practice Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday and entered the weekend listed as questionable. He has caught three passes for 21 yards through the first three games of the season. Los Angeles is also without Terrance Ferguson (ankle), leaving the Rams down two tight ends against Philadelphia. Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and rookie Max Klare are available to handle the work at the position with Parkinson and Ferguson sidelined.

Zay Flowers Will Suit Up in Week 4 Against the Titans
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Tennessee Titans. Flowers logged a full practice on Thursday and a limited practice on Friday, and he ultimately entered this weekend listed as questionable. In the end, not only will he play, but he's also expected to operate without any sort of limitations, according to a previous report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Barring a setback or new injury, this will be Flowers' first game of the season with a snap share of at least 35%. In Week 1, he exited in the first half due to a quad injury, although not before racking up 150 yards and a touchdown. He did play in Week 3, but he remained on a snap count in his first game back from injury. Now that he doesn't have any limitations, Flowers should return to his WR1 form in fantasy football, especially against a suspect Titans defense.

Eli Raridon Returns to Action in Week 4
New England Patriots tight end Eli Raridon (thigh) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Buffalo Bills. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week long. The rookie has two catches for 32 yards and one touchdown through two games this season. He has consistently operated behind Hunter Henry, and neither tight end has emerged as a worthwhile starter in fantasy football. This is not the week to bank on a Raridon breakout; the Bills have surrendered the ninth-fewest receiving yards and the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends through the first three weeks of the 2026 season.

Ray Davis Active for Week 4 Against New England
Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. For now, this news likely has more special teams implications than anything else, as Davis has totaled three kick returns and one offensive touch this season. He operated on a measly 8% snap share last week, putting him behind both James Cook III and Ty Johnson in the pecking order. As long as Cook and Johnson are healthy, there's no reason that he should be rostered in redraft leagues. He's also getting closer to being a cut candidate in dynasty formats.

Jaylin Lane Ruled Out With Ankle Injury
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Lane was injured while returning the opening kickoff of the second half, with his ankle bending awkwardly as he was brought down near the Washington 30-yard line. He was carted off the field afterward. Washington was already without Terry McLaurin (hamstring) entering the game, leaving an already thin receiver group another man down. Lane also handles a significant portion of the Commanders' return work, so his absence affects more than just the offensive rotation. Washington has not announced anything beyond the ankle injury at this point.

Kenyon Sadiq Active for Week 4 Against Bears
New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq (back) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Chicago Bears. Sadiq had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week long. Having the rookie available on Sunday is great news for the Jets, who already ruled out fellow tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) earlier in the week. Sadiq will continue to operate as New York's No. 1 tight end, looking to build off last week's fantastic stat line of seven catches, 105 yards, and one touchdown. That level of volume and productivity makes Sadiq an intriguing TE1 option in fantasy football this week. However, we acknowledge that his floor will be on the lower side as long as Geno Smith is his quarterback.

Marcus Mariota Ruled Out With Right Knee Injury
Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota (right knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Mariota was injured on a first-quarter sack and went to the locker room after initially being listed as questionable to return. He completed three of four passes for 46 yards and also had a 35-yard run before leaving. Rookie Athan Kaliakmanis took over and completed six of 12 passes for 33 yards in the first half. Washington did not score again after Mariota exited and went into halftime trailing 10-6. Jayden Daniels (left elbow) is already out, so the Commanders are now relying on their third quarterback of the season.

Patriots Hope A.J. Brown Will Return in Week 6
The New England Patriots "hope" that wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) will be able to return from injured reserve after the minimum four weeks, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. If that happens, his first game back would be Week 6 against the New York Jets on Oct. 18. However, Garafolo cautions that the entire situation remains fluid, and given that Brown originally had a six-week recovery timeline after he exited the season opener, it's too early to guarantee that he'll be on the field in Week 6. New England won't rush the star receiver back, but they'd certainly love to get him on the field as soon as he's healthy. The Patriots' offense has looked abysmal for most of this season, and Brown would inject some much-needed physicality and playmaking upside into a unit that has just one passing touchdown through three games this season. Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins have been operating as Drake Maye's top targets with Brown sidelined.

Tyjae Spears Expected to Play Sunday Despite Ankle Injury
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Spears is officially listed as questionable but has been trending in the right direction after practicing in full on Friday. The 25-year-old has remained a non-factor in fantasy football this year due to the state of the Titans' offense and his role behind Tony Pollard. Through three games, he ranks as the overall RB49 in PPR leagues with 58 rushing yards and 41 receiving yards. Even Spears' well-known pass-catching profile seems to have declined, as he has been limited to a modest (by his standards) four catches on six targets this season. He should still be rostered in 12+ team leagues, but there's no reason to start him in fantasy lineups at this point.

Ladd McConkey Expected to Play Against Seahawks in Week 4
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. McConkey missed practice on Thursday, logged a limited practice on Friday, and was officially listed as questionable entering the weekend. However, Rapoport reports that McConkey's foot injury is not nearly as serious as his rib injury from earlier this season, and it's not expected to cost him any playing time. McConkey hasn't caught a touchdown since Week 1, but he has posted a respectable 10+ PPR points in two of his three games so far, ranking as the overall WR27. Los Angeles' offense has been tough to watch this year, but we'd still roll out McConkey as a solid WR2 option in most fantasy leagues.

J.J. McCarthy Serving as the Third-String Quarterback for Week 4
New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be the team's third-string quarterback for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The Giants traded for McCarthy this past week, and while he should climb to first or second on the depth chart by midseason, he'll open this new chapter at the bottom of the depth chart. Presumably, the Giants want to give McCarthy a little more time to acclimate to the Giants' offensive system before putting him in a position where he's one snap away from getting onto the field. Jameis Winston will start for a second consecutive week against Arizona, looking to improve upon last week's stat line of 114 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. Jake Haener has been elevated from the practice squad to back up Winston this week. For what it's worth, McCarthy is active, so the Giants could technically change their mind and put him ahead of Haener at any point.

Mike Evans Pushing to Play in Week 4
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (rib) is "going to do everything he possibly can" to play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Denver Broncos, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. With that being said, Evans is listed as questionable and remains a true game-time decision heading into Sunday afternoon. The veteran wide receiver will undergo a pregame workout to determine if he's capable of playing against the Broncos. San Francisco has dealt with wide receiver injuries left and right, as Evans joins a list that also features De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Christian Kirk (calf), Demarcus Robinson (ankle), and Ricky Pearsall (knee). If Evans can suit up Sunday, he'll look to improve upon his ranking as the WR26 in PPR leagues. That won't be easy, though, as the Broncos' secondary is led by star cornerback Patrick Surtain II. In the event that Evans is inactive, Deebo Samuel Sr. would operate as the 49ers' No. 1 receiver.

Tanner McKee Named Backup Quarterback, Replacing Andy Dalton
The Philadelphia Eagles have tweaked their quarterback depth chart, naming Tanner McKee the backup over Andy Dalton, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. Dalton had been the No. 2 behind Jalen Hurts through the first three weeks of the season, but he struggled when his number was called last week, throwing an interception on his only pass attempt with Hurts on the sideline. All offseason long, we heard that the competition between McKee and Dalton was incredibly close, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that the Eagles are pivoting to McKee after Dalton's miscue. The change takes effect for Week 4, and it's worth noting that Dalton is still active, so the Eagles could change their mind about the depth chart at any point. Of course, the organization hopes they don't have to play either quarterback, as that would mean Jalen Hurts is injured. For now, Hurts is healthy, leaving both McKee and Dalton on the sideline.
