Optimism That Christian McCaffrey Plays In Week 4

There is optimism that Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) plays in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals despite the fact that he has missed two practices this week with a thigh injury. McCaffrey has kept the injury close to the vest, but barring a setback, he should be OK for Sunday's game. The […]

Kareem Hunt Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt will head on the road to take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4. Hunt's 2022 campaign got off to a hot start as he scored twice in Week 1, but he's been held out of the end zone in the two games since. He will go up against […]

Willi Castro Done For The Season

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (hamstring) is done for the rest of the season due to a left hamstring injury. Zack Short, Daz Cameron, Josh Lester, Brendon Davis and Luis Garcia are the on-roster candidates to replace Castro for the conclusion of the 2022 regular season. Castro was forced to leave Thursday's game early against […]

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett has played well over the first three weeks of the season, completing 66.3% of his passes for 596 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception.

Is Jaylen Waddle Hurt or Healthy? Is Jaylen Waddle Playing in Week 4 for Fantasy Football?

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle entered 2022 with high expectations. That's no surprise, considering Waddle set a new rookie record with 104 receptions last season. The Alabama product has continued his strong play in his second professional campaign. He has scored at least 15 PPR points in all three weeks, including an 11-catch, 171-yard […]

Zach Plesac Pushed Back To Saturday

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Zach Plesac (hand) will switch spots with Aaron Civale in the starting rotation this week and be moved back to Saturday against the Kansas City Royals, with Civale going on Friday.

Steven Wilson To Serve As Opener Thursday

San Diego Padres rookie right-hander Steven Wilson will serve as the opener on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Nelson will be making his first career major-league start in this one, but he's unlikely to be a realistic fantasy streamer in what should be a short outing. He's made 47 relief appearances in 2022, […]

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday for the series finale against the Cleveland Guardians.

Week 4 starts with an elite offensive showdown. The 3-0 Miami Dolphins travel to Cincinnati to take on the reigning AFC Champions, who got a hold of Barney Stinson’s (Super Bowl) Hangover Fixer Elixir last week. These two teams possess arguably four of the top-10 receiver talents in the league with the first two QBs […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 4)

Three weeks of the NFL season are done and scoring remains down across the league. Defenses are sitting in two-high coverage shells, forcing offenses to lean on the run game to try and open up the pass.

Jonathan Taylor Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (toe) was back at practice on Thursday after missing the first practice of his career on Wednesday for precautionary reasons. Taylor suffered the minor toe injury during the team's Week 3 upset victory over the Chiefs, but this doesn't look like something that is going to have an impact […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Not Practicing Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) was not spotted at practice on Thursday after also being held out on Wednesday. The Falcons listed his absence as a "veterans rest day" on Wednesday, but his second straight missed practice makes this a situation worth monitoring. Fantasy managers should check back in for his status on […]

Myles Garrett Has Chance To Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (biceps, shoulder) didn't practice on Thursday and is considered day-to-day. Garrett was involved in a scary car accident earlier in the week and was released from the hospital shortly after. Despite him not getting any practice time in so far this week, defensive coordinator Joe Woods mentioned that the […]

Gabe Davis Not Participating During Thursday Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis (ankle) was spotted without a helmet watching practice during the portion open to the media on Thursday.

Dalvin Cook Practices In Full Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) was spotted at practice on Thursday and was listed as a full participant.

Josh Reynolds Practices Thursday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (ankle) was at practice on Thursday despite dealing with a low-ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 3. The Lions' wide receiver room is banged up right now, as Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), and D.J. Chark (ankle) are also dealing with injuries leading up to Week 4. Reynolds has […]

D.J. Chark Not Practicing Thursday

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) was not at practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday with an ankle injury. Fantasy managers should check back in Friday for his status, as this will be a better indicator of his availability for Week 4 against the Seahawks. Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is also dealing […]

T.J. Hockenson Practicing Thursday

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (foot) is back at practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Hockenson, like many other Lions, suffered his injury in Week 3 against the Vikings after also dealing with a hip ailment leading up to last week. The 25-year-old hasn't had a great start to the season, […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Not Practicing Thursday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday with an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 3 against the Vikings. The sophomore stud was able to return to the game, so it seems like this shouldn't be something that holds him out of Week 4. […]
