T.J. Watt Returning After One-Game Absence

Pittsburgh Steelers superstar pass-rusher T.J. Watt (groin) was a full practice participant for the second straight day on Friday and was removed from the final Week 4 injury report against the Green Bay Packers. It's great news for the Steelers defense, but it won't change the fact that Pittsburgh's defensive unit is off the fantasy […]

Ravens Defense Trending Down Entering Week 4

The Baltimore Ravens defense has been vulnerable early in the 2021 season, and they could be short-handed across the field in a big matchup with the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 4. Safety DeShon Elliott (quadriceps), linebacker Pernell McPhee (shoulder), cornerback Tavon Young, cornerback Anthony Averett (ankle), safety Geno Stone (thigh), safety Chuck […]

Rashod Bateman, Miles Boykin Making Progress

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receivers Rashod Bateman (groin) and Miles Boykin (hamstring) have made good progress after returning to practice this week. "It was very nice to have them back and they made good progress," Harbaugh replied. Both players were activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, but it's unclear if […]

Danny Amendola Out Another Week

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) has been ruled out for his second straight game in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills after missing practice all week. There's a chance that the veteran slot man can return in Week 5 to face the New England Patriots, but he'll need to get back on the […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Ruled Out, Expected To Go On IR

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and is expected to be placed on the short-term Injured Reserve, according to a source. The Packers are worried that the speedy downfield threat could aggravate his injury if he tries to play through it. If […]

Russell Gage To Miss Another Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) has been ruled out for the second straight game in Week 4 against the Washington Football Team after missing practice all week. The 25-year-old was a popular breakout candidate in the preseason with Julio Jones now with the Titans, but Gage went without a catch in the season […]

Will Fuller Will Play Against Colts

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (chest, elbow) was taken off the team's final injury report for Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts. Fuller was held out of practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday. The deep threat was third in targets (six) in his season debut […]

Diontae Johnson, JuJu Smith-Schuster Good To Go

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Diontae Johnson (knee) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) practiced in full on Friday and were removed from the final injury report for Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. Johnson injured his knee on the final play in Week 2 and was inactive last weekend, but he should be returning to all […]

Carson Wentz, Jack Doyle Questionable Against Dolphins

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) and tight end Jack Doyle (back) are both questionable to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. After Wentz played on two sprained ankles last week and got in limited practices all week, there's nothing to suggest that he won't play this Sunday against Miami. He's still not 100 […]

Jonathan Taylor Questionable For Week 4

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 4 game against the Miami Dolphins. We'd be surprised if Taylor isn't out there on Sunday after he practiced on a limited basis all week. And against a Dolphins defense that has allowed 364 rushing yards, four touchdowns and 27.3 fantasy […]

Rashaad Penny Out, Dee Eskridge Doubtful

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (calf) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers, while rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) is listed as doubtful. Penny suffered his injury in the season opener and hasn't played since. Given Seattle's depth at the position, he doesn't need to be stashed in […]

Tyler Lockett Questionable To Face 49ers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hip) is considered questionable to play in Week 4 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Lockett looked to be in trouble after being downgraded on Thursday with a missed practice, but he thankfully was able to return to a full practice Friday. The Seahawks are now optimistic that the […]

Lamar Jackson Questionable For Week 4

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) is officially questionable for Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Jackson missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a sore back, but he returned to a full practice on Friday and is fully expected to play this Sunday. The 24-year-old looked good in practice on Friday and remains a must-start […]

Melvin Gordon III Draws Questionable Tag

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (leg, ribs) is listed as questionable for the Week 4 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Gordon was limited in practice all week long and is expected to play this Sunday afternoon. The 28-year-old has been in a near-even timeshare with second-round rookie Javonte Williams in the first three […]

Elijah Mitchell's Status Depends On Pain Tolerance

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell's (shoulder) status for the Week 4 game against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks will depend on pain tolerance. Mitchell is listed as questionable, but the team will see where he's at when he tests out his injury on Saturday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team will give […]

Brandon McManus Looks To Stay Perfect In Week 4

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus is tied for the most fantasy points among kickers through the first three weeks of the 2021 season, making him a weekly starting option at the position. Denver's offense will be tested like they haven't been so far this year in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens defense. McManus is […]

Noah Fant Should Bounce Back Against Ravens

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant and the team's pass-catchers had a pretty quiet day overall in the 26-0 Week 3 win over the New York Jets. Fant caught just two of three targets for a season-low 15 yards with Denver not really needing to air it out in the easy win. Expect the Broncos […]

Rob Gronkowski Listed As Doubtful For Week 4

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially listed tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) as doubtful for Week 4 on Sunday night against his former team, the New England Patriots. Reports surfaced Friday morning that it would be highly unlikely that Gronk wouldn't suit up in a showdown against his former squad. That tune has suddenly changed, and […]

Tim Patrick Playing At A High Level

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick has been a popular waiver-wire pickup early in the 2021 campaign after injuries to Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee). With Hamler now out for the season and Jeudy still sidelined, Patrick will be the No. 2 receiver in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens. According to Football […]

Courtland Sutton Should Be Needed More In Week 4

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a 20.8 percent target share in the Week 3 shutout win over the New York Jets, but that produced only five catches for 37 yards. It was a disappointment after Sutton went off in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Baltimore Ravens defense will give […]

Javonte Williams Still Slightly Behind Melvin Gordon

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams scored the first touchdown of his NFL career last week, but he also lost a fumble in the red zone. Through three games, Williams has a 43.6 snap percentage compared to 54.5 percent for Melvin Gordon III. And a lot of Williams' snaps have come in garbage time […]

Teddy Bridgewater Going Deep More Than You Think

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater isn't a sexy fantasy quarterback, but he's starting to get some attention after a 3-0 start. He ranks fifth in deep passes (20 yards or more) attempted through three games, and he's completed 41.2 percent of his deep throws. The Broncos passing attack has been much more efficient in 2021, […]

Anthony Firkser On Track To Return In Week 4

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser (knee) practiced in full this week and is on track to return in Week 4 against the New York Jets after missing the last two games with a knee injury. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has completed 79 percent (66 of 83) of his passes to Firkser since he took over […]

Ryan Tannehill Confident In Receiving Depth

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is confident in the team's receiving depth behind A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring), who will both miss the Week 4 game against the New York Jets. Chester Rogers was already the starting slot receiver, but he should see more targets with both Brown and Jones out. Rogers is […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Officially Out For Week 4

The New York Giants have officially ruled out wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) for a Week 4 date with the New Orleans Saints on the road. It's a tough blow for a Giants team, as Shepard currently leads the Giants receiving corps with 18 receptions on 22 targets for 223 yards […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Will Play Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) will play in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Henderson sidelined last weekend, Sony Michel took over the backfield with 20 rushing attempts for 67 yards, and he […]

Game-Time Decision On Andy Dalton, Justin Fields

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that his decision on who will start at quarterback in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions will be a game-time decision on Sunday. Quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) was limited in practice this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report. Rookie Justin Fields (thumb) practiced […]

Dalvin Cook Listed As Questionable Against Browns

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) is listed as questionable to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 4 after he sat out last week. Cook practiced on a limited basis all week and looked much better, so there's a real chance that he returns to take over the lead-back duties this Sunday. In his […]

Christian McCaffrey Officially Ruled Out For Week 4

The Carolina Panthers have officially ruled running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) out for the Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys. We knew that McCaffrey wouldn't be available this weekend after he injured his hamstring in the Thursday night win over the Houston Texans in Week 3, but the good news is that he's not […]

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Ruled Out In Week 4

The Tennessee Titans have ruled out both wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) for the Week 4 game against the New York Jets after they both missed practice all week. With their top two receivers sidelined, the Titans will ask Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers, Cameron Batson and Josh Reynolds to step up. […]
