Seamus Casey to Sit Out 6-8 Weeks
New Jersey Devils defenseman Seamus Casey (knee) has been ruled out for 6-8 weeks. The 22-year-old suffered a knee injury in a preseason game on Sept. 24 and underwent surgery. Casey impressed with eight points (four goals, four assists) in 14 outings during the 2024-25 campaign, but the Devils used him only twice last season. The knee injury is a significant setback to his attempt to break into the team. A minimum six-week absence means Casey won't be an option for the Devils' blue line until at least mid-November.

A.J. Greer Available for Ducks Debut Friday
Anaheim Ducks winger A.J. Greer (upper body) will make his team debut on Friday night against Vegas, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports. Greer has been iffy for the contest due to an upper-body injury sustained during the preseason, but he has been cleared for action. Not only that, but the former Panther will also get an opportunity to impress in a first-line role. With elite talents like Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier next to him, Greer is in a great spot to make a positive first impression. Anaheim also plans to use Greer on the second power-play unit.

Andrei Kuzmenko Returns to Practice
Pittsburgh Penguins winger Andrei Kuzmenko (personal) rejoined practice on Friday. He was away from the team for a week to be with his family following his father's passing. The Penguins have removed Kuzmenko from the non-roster list ahead of Saturday's clash against Montreal, signaling he may enter the lineup. On Friday, Kuzmenko skated on the fourth line. Kuzmenko has had an up-and-down NHL career but can heat up in the right circumstances. He has averaged nearly 0.7 points per game in his career.

Jaylen Waddle Off the Injury Report, Good to Go for Week 4
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (foot) is off the injury report after practicing in full all week. Waddle was seen wearing a boot on his foot after Week 3's win over the Los Angeles Rams, but head coach Sean Payton was not concerned. He is now good to go for Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. In three games, Waddle has caught 11 of 20 targets for 150 yards and added 14 rushing yards on one carry. He's played just 68% of snaps and 74% of routes, but has been used in every alignment in the offense except the offensive line this season. He faces the 49ers in Week 4, who have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, including strong performances against Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Marvin Harrison Jr. While Waddle is off the injury report, he carries some risk in a tougher matchup.

Olen Zellweger Clears Concussion Protocol
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Olen Zellweger (concussion) will be available on Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks. He missed Thursday's season opener against Columbus after suffering a concussion in a preseason game. Zellweger practiced alongside Owen Power on the second defensive pairing Friday. Based on the practice lines, Matt Grzelcyk is set to make room for Zellweger in the lineup. With the Anaheim Ducks, Zellweger had back-to-back 20-point campaigns. This should be the minimum target for him during his first year in Buffalo.

Chase Brown's Lack of Receiving is Holding Him Back in 2026
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has gotten off to a slow start to the 2026 season despite heavy usage. In three games, Brown has 49 carries for 197 yards and a touchdown, plus 10 receptions for 32 yards, averaging 11.3 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Brown has played 70% of the snaps so far this season, which ranks among the best among NFL running backs. However, his receiving role hasn't been as much of a factor, averaging just 10.7 yards per game through the air. He's relying more on his rushing ability, but that could be hard to come by in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which allowed the fewest fantasy points in 2025 and has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards so far this season. While Brown is likely to bounce back, his receiving role will need to improve for him to be the low-end RB1 fantasy managers drafted him to be.

Warren Foegele Cleared for Action
Ottawa Senators winger Warren Foegele (undisclosed) will play Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. There were doubts about whether Foegele would be available for the season opener due to an undisclosed ailment, but he came through Friday's practice without any issues and has been cleared to play. Foegele skated with the first line Friday, suggesting he will play an important role in Saturday's contest. In 68 outings with the Senators and Los Angeles Kings last season, he contributed 13 goals and four assists, so Foegele typically doesn't have a major offensive impact.

Jake Sanderson Resumes Skating Friday
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (undisclosed) was back on the ice on Friday and could play in Saturday's season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The star defenseman has been dealing with an undisclosed injury after being hurt in a preseason game. Sanderson averaged nearly 25 minutes of ice time last season and plays a crucial role at both ends of the ice for Ottawa. In 2025-26, he notched 54 points (14 goals, 40 assists) and had 128 blocks. If he's cleared to play, Sanderson will fill a spot on the first defensive pairing and quarterback the first power-play unit.

Colby Parkinson Listed as Questionable to Play in Week 4
Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 4's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Parkinson was unable to practice all week but has not been ruled out despite knee and shoulder injuries. The seven-year tight end has struggled to start the season, hauling in three of five targets for just 21 yards in three games. With the Rams' crowded tight end room, which includes Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson (who's on injured reserve), Davis Allen, and rookie Max Klare, it's difficult for any player to stand out. If Parkinson can't play against the Eagles, Higbee and Allen offer the most value in this room, but none should be considered fantasy starters against Philadelphia.

Ladd McConkey Listed as Questionable to Play in Week 4
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 4's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. After downgrading from limited to non-participant Thursday, McConkey was limited in practice Friday and remains questionable for Week 4. In the first three weeks of the season, McConkey has hauled in 12 of 15 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown. Despite being very efficient, McConkey hasn't lived up to expectations so far this season amid the Chargers' offensive struggles. If he plays against Seattle, fantasy managers should temper expectations given the Chargers' offensive issues and Seattle's elite defense. If he's inactive, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris are likely to see more playing time, but neither is a guaranteed starter in fantasy this week.

Terrance Ferguson Placed on Injured Reserve
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve and will miss at least the next four weeks. After an ankle injury in Week 3's loss to the Denver Broncos, Ferguson couldn't practice this week, prompting the team to place him on IR. In three games, Ferguson caught seven of 12 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown, playing 54% of snaps and running 56% of routes before the injury. With the second-year tight end heading to IR, Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and second-round pick Max Klare will each play a slightly larger role. Ferguson's next chance to return will be in Week 8, when the Rams host the Los Angeles Chargers, but his return timeline remains unclear.

Mike Evans Questionable for Week 4
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Evans suffered a rib injury in Week 3's 36-30 win over the Arizona Cardinals and did not return. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and worked on the side field Friday, with head coach Kyle Shanahan calling him a game-time decision. Evans spoke to the media Friday, describing the injury as "being stabbed in the chest," but added he's played through painful rib injuries before and has worked to put himself in position to do so again this Sunday. In his first three games with the 49ers, Evans has caught 12 of 16 targets for 137 yards and two touchdowns. However, with uncertainty about his status and a tough matchup against Pat Surtain and the Broncos, Evans is a risky WR3 in Week 4.
