Ladd McConkey Seen Walking Out of Locker Room with a Limp
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice on Thursday due to a foot injury after logging a limited session on Wednesday. According to Kris Rhim of ESPN, McConkey was seen walking out of the locker room with a limp. McConkey's status for a Week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks seems cloudy at best right now. McConkey has amassed 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 183 yards (15.3 yards per reception) and a touchdown through three games in 2026 . McConkey was already dealing with a rib injury as well, but he is yet to miss a game. If McConkey is out of the lineup, the Chargers will rely on wide receivers Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris, tight end Oronde Gadsden and others in the passing game in Week 4 against the Seahawks.

Kyler Murray Hasn't Proven to Have Much Fantasy Value Yet
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion) returned to action in Week 3 and completed 15 out of 29 passes (51.7%) for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 23-16 win over the Buccaneers. He added 17 rushing yards on two carries. He has totaled just 10 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues thus far, according to RotoBaller. Murray suffered a concussion in the first quarter of a Week 1 victory over the Green Bay Packers and was forced to sit out a Week 2 win against the Chicago Bears. Murray might have an easier time against a Miami Dolphins defense in Week 4 that is allowing 231 passing yards per game (20th in the NFL) and 9.1 yards per attempt (worst in the league), but coming off of an injury and putting up pedestrian numbers, Murray is hard to start right now. Murray's top wide receiver, Justin Jefferson (ankle), is also nursing an ankle injury and did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Murray is RotoBaller's No. 13 quarterback for Week 4.

Blake Corum Saw a Dip in Touches and Production in Week 3
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum played just 25 out of 86 (29%) offensive snaps in a 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 3. The six carries and 15 rushing yards were both season lows thus far for Corum in 2026. He appears to be operating clearly behind starter Kyren Williams, who played 61 snaps in Week 3 and has totaled 134 offensive snaps through three games, compared to Corum's 67. Corum has tallied 28 rushes for 148 yards, while adding three receptions for 13 yards. Corum is yet to find the end zone, but he has been efficient with 5.3 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Williams has carried the ball 38 times for 214 yards (5.6 yards per carry) and a touchdown, and has caught 11 passes for 106 yards and an additional score. Corum will look to bounce back in a road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4. The Eagles are giving up 127.3 yards per game on the ground, so it could be a productive day for Corum and Williams. Corum ranks as RotoBaller's No. 35 running back for Week 4.

Rashid Shaheed's Limited Usage Makes Him Difficult for Fantasy Managers to Trust
After re-signing with the Seattle Seahawks this past spring on a three-year, $51 million contract, wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hip) was widely expected to see a larger role in 2026. That hasn't been the case through the first three weeks of the season, as Shaheed has recorded just six catches for 52 yards on 12 targets. Shaheed's limited usage is nothing new. He logged just 26 targets across nine games with the Seahawks in 2025 after being acquired from the New Orleans Saints at the trade deadline. Seattle's passing game remains extremely concentrated around superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has been targeted on 37.9% of the team's pass attempts so far this season. Shaheed is an explosive downfield receiver, so he remains a threat to go off in any given week. Still, without more consistent target volume, Shaheed remains impossible to trust as anything more than a desperation flex option for fantasy managers.

Carnell Tate a Risky Start Amid Quarterback Concerns in Tennessee
The fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate has gotten off to a slow start to his NFL career. Across three games, the 21-year-old has recorded 13 catches for 123 yards on 20 targets. On the bright side, Tate currently leads Tennessee in targets and is coming off his most productive performance in Week 3, hauling in six catches for 58 yards against the New York Giants. However, the Titans' passing game and offense as a whole remain a major question mark in quarterback Cam Ward's second season as the starter. Three games in, Ward is averaging just 5.7 yards per pass attempt, and the Titans as a team are averaging just 12.3 points per game. Without significant improvements in his offensive environment, Tate remains a risky start on a weekly basis for fantasy managers.

Jeremiyah Love Avoids Injury Report After Scare in Practice on Thursday
Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love was not listed on his team's Thursday injury report after reportedly being slow to get up after a rep in practice. While it's not entirely clear what happened to Love, it's obviously a positive sign for fantasy managers that the rookie appears to have avoided a serious injury. Across the first three games of his NFL career, the 21-year-old has recorded 204 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 51 touches. After splitting work with veteran Cardinals back Tyler Allgeier in the first two weeks of the season, Love emerged as the clear lead back in Week 3 by logging 109 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 26 touches against the San Francisco 49ers. Assuming he's healthy and ready to go, Love profiles as an RB1 option for fantasy managers in Week 4 against the New York Giants.

Jadarian Price Misses Practice on Thursday with Chest Injury
Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest) was downgraded from limited participation on Wednesday to non-participation in practice on Thursday with a chest injury, per Corbin K. Smith of Emerald City Spectrum. Price suffered the injury in Week 2 and played through it in Week 3, but it appears he could be trending toward being inactive in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Price has recorded 140 scrimmage yards on 32 touches across three games so far, but he's also lost fumbles in back-to-back weeks. After fumbling in Seattle's Week 3 loss to the Washington Commanders, Price lost playing time to veteran back Emanuel Wilson. If Price cannot play in Week 4, Wilson could be in line for a sizable workload against the Chargers.

Zach Charbonnet Returns to Practice in Limited Fashion on Thursday
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday, per Corbin K. Smith of Emerald City Spectrum. Charbonnet is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list as he recovers from a torn ACL and is ineligible to play in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, the 25-year-old had his practice window opened on Thursday and could have a chance to return in Week 5 when the Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers. Charbonnet split backfield work with former Seattle running back Kenneth Walker last season, recording 874 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns on 204 touches across 16 games. With Walker now in Kansas City and Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price (chest) struggling early on, Charbonnet could take over as the clear lead back in Seattle once healthy.

DeVonta Smith Not Expected to Play in Week 4
There is "not much optimism" surrounding Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith's (hamstring) current health, and the "expectation is he won't be able to go" in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, per Tim McManus of ESPN. Smith has yet to practice this week as he battles a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old played through the hamstring issue in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, but it appears that the injury has gotten worse in the last few days. Smith has gotten off to a strong start to the 2026 season as the focal point of the Eagles' passing game, recording 19 catches for 235 yards and a touchdown on 27 targets. If Smith is unable to play against the Rams, Eagles wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon would likely see increased usage.

Puka Nacua Listed As Limited on Thursday, Says He Practiced In Full
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice as the team prepares to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the limited designation, Nacua told the media after practice that he practiced in full, and head coach Sean McVay said Nacua is expected to play in Week 4. The superstar receiver has missed the past two weeks with a hip/groin injury stemming from a psoas issue he dealt with in training camp. When healthy, Nacua has been a monster, averaging 16.3 half-PPR fantasy points in his career. As they prepare to face an elite Philadelphia secondary, fantasy managers should temper expectations for the star receiver if he suits up on Sunday.

Dallas Goedert Does Not Practice on Thursday
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) officially did not practice on Thursday as the team prepares to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4. Goedert has now missed back-to-back practices with a sprained MCL that he suffered in Week 2's win over the Tennessee Titans. With Goedert's status remaining uncertain, tight ends Johnny Mundt, Zach Ertz, and E.J. Jenkins are all expected to have a role if he misses Sunday's matchup. While Ertz offers the most upside of the group, none of the three are fantasy-relevant options in Week 4. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring Goedert's practice status on Friday, but he appears unlikely to suit up against the Rams.

Saquon Barkley's Lack of Valuable Touches Affecting his Fantasy Value
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has gotten off to a slow start to his 2026 season. In three games, Barkley has 34 carries for 174 yards and no touchdowns, along with three receptions for six yards. His current average of 6.5 half-PPR fantasy points per game ranks him RB37 on a per-game basis. While he's been efficient, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, his limited receiving and goal-line work with the Eagles' patented "tush push" have hurt his fantasy value early in the season. With tough matchups against the Los Angeles Rams and the Jacksonville Jaguars in the next two weeks, Barkley may be unable to rebound. Fantasy managers should remain wary of Barkley's ceiling given his lack of valuable touches, though he remains a strong RB2 moving forward.

Mike Evans Officially Did Not Practice on Thursday
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs) officially did not practice Thursday as the team gears up to face the Denver Broncos. Evans has now missed two straight practices after suffering a rib injury in Week 3's victory over the Arizona Cardinals. General manager John Lynch said that Evans will "make every attempt [to play] and we'll see where that goes." The team signed veteran Brandin Cooks from the practice squad as it prepares to be short-handed at wide receiver, with Evans not practicing and De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Demarcus Robinson (ankle), and Ricky Pearsall (knee) on injured reserve. While Evans has proven he doesn't need to practice to suit up for games, Friday's practice will likely determine his status for Week 4's matchup against Denver. If he can't suit up, Deebo Samuel Sr., Jordan Watkins, and Jacob Cowing will have larger roles on Sunday.

Xavier Legette Does Not Practice on Thursday
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) officially did not practice Thursday as the team prepares to face the Detroit Lions. Legette has now missed two straight practices due to a knee injury sustained before Week 3 and is considered "week-to-week," according to head coach Dave Canales. In two games this season, Legette has caught just two passes for 64 yards while playing just over 50% of the snaps. With Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker both standing out as Carolina's top wideouts, the former 32nd overall pick has been pushed aside because of his inconsistent play. Friday's practice will determine whether Legette can play on Sunday Night against the Lions, but he doesn't offer enough upside to be considered fantasy-relevant with McMillan and Coker emerging.

Jordyn Tyson Unlikely to Return to Practice Next Week
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore does not expect rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) to practice next week. When asked whether Tyson will be designated to practice next week, Moore said, "Doesn't look like it right now, but we'll have to wait and see." Tyson suffered a hamstring injury during a joint training camp practice and was placed on injured reserve, with expectations that he would miss at least two months. The eighth overall pick struggled with injuries throughout his college career, including a severe knee injury in 2022 and multiple hamstring injuries. With Tyson out, Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele, and Juwan Johnson will see increased roles, as quarterback Tyler Shough has played well to start the season. Fantasy managers should watch Tyson's potential return, as his immense talent should shake up this receiving core once he returns.
