This is a low blow, even for the subsation. Hodge began the year on San Francisco’s practice squad but was promoted to the active roster when De’Zhaun Stribling went down with an ankle injury. He wound up running 45 percent of the routes in Week 3 but was not targeted once. With Mike Evans also banged up, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins could be in line for more work this week.
RJ Harvey was checked for a concussion in Week 3 and is not on the injury report today, meaning both backs are good to go for Week 4. Dobbins saw 17 carries versus the Rams compared to just two for Harvey, though the latter caught six passes. Dobbins caught one pass. The rushing advantage will keep Dobbins in the RB3 mix for Week 4.
Powers-Johnson was the only Raider who missed practice because of an injury. Former third-round pick Caleb Rogers filled in for JPJ on Sunday, though he was only needed for five snaps. Rogers would presumably draw the start if Powers-Johnson can’t go.
Per Rhim, Mitchell told reporters in the locker room he was okay. Mitchell was not on the injury report at all. It’s possible something flared up during practice but he didn’t have it looked at until after the injury report was posted. We will get more clarity on the situation tomorrow. Mitchell’s role grew in Week 3 with 11 touches, but a foot or ankle injury would likely limit any further progress.
The incident was reported to the police earlier this month. Jeff Wattrick, spokesman for the Oakland County Prosecutor, told Birkett, “Based on the facts presented to us at this time, the Novi Police and our office jointly concluded that there is no cause to file charges against Mr. Williams.” Williams has been an off-field headache for the Lions since entering the league, but it doesn’t sound like this latest incident will be an issue. He will be on the field for the team’s Week 4 date with Carolina.
We are happy to see that the Patriots’ quarterback is practicing fully, but this is a new injury for Maye. He notably dealt with a throwing shoulder injury during the Patriots’ playoff run last season. His listing raises questions as to whether there might be a lingering issue. We expect a follow-up report on this in the coming days.
Waddle was spotted in a boot after Week 3’s win over the Rams. DNVR’s Zac Stevens reported at the time that he was fine and can comfortably take a victory lap now that Payton has said he practiced in full. Waddle posted a dud in Week 3 with two catches for 10 yards, but he ripped off 138 yards the week before that. The production might come in peaks and valleys, but fantasy managers should hold the line and treat him like a WR2 for a potential shootout with the 49ers this week.
Raridon is tentatively on track to play in Week 4 against the Bills, though he cannot be started as anything more than a touchdown-dependent TE2. His return could squeeze TE Hunter Henry’s access to targets though.
This is one to watch for fantasy purposes. The Patriots are tasked with keeping the Bills’ passing offense in check this week. Doing so without their top coverage defender will be difficult. This is a new injury for Gonzalez. Patriots DT Christian Barmore (shoulder) was also sidelined on Wednesday.
The Ravens seemingly forgot about Andrews when they first posted their injury report, only noting his injury and status in a post 40 minutes after the initial run. In their defense, Andrews has been pretty forgettable this year, catching 13 passes for 122 scoreless yards. The hand injury shouldn’t be an issue this week, but he’s still stuck in the TE2 ranks versus Tennessee.
Coleman missed two practices last week before getting in a limited session on Friday. He still suited up and caught one of his two targets for a 37-yard gain. He will likely see a very limited number of reps in practice again this week. Coleman is not on the fantasy radar for Week 4.
This does not necessarily mean Gordon will play in Week 4 against the Jets, but he is certainly getting closer to making his 2026 debut. The Bears’ pass defense has been a fantasy-friendly unit thus far. If Gordon can return to form, he could help slow down opposing slot receivers.
Benford missed the second half of Week 3’s win over the Chargers with the toe injury. He was spotted in a boot after the game. A DNP today puts him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 4. That should make Buffalo an easier matchup for Drake Maye, but fantasy managers might have already thrown in the towel on Maye, and rightfully so.
Moore played through the shoulder injury last week and managed to bring down 6-of-10 targets for 67 yards. He led the team in every notable receiving category. Even if he isn’t at full strength, Moore is locked in as a WR2 for Week 4 versus New England.
New York just lost Brian Burns to a season-ending ACL tear. Ward was on the team in 2022 and 2023. He played in Tennessee last year, totaling five sacks in 17 games. He will give the Giants some extra depth as they attempt to backfill Burns’s role.
Bell is coming off a career-best 4/67 stat line after having his practice reps managed last week. The Dolphins’ rookie wide receiver is on track to face the Vikings this week. He profiles as a WR4/FLEX in what is admittedly a tough matchup on paper.
The fact that this is even being considered is good news. Rookie RB Jadarian Price has not yet carved out a featured role for himself, so Charbonnet could feasibly return to his 2025 role—or more. If available, he is probably worth stashing in 12-team leagues at this time.
This puts Love on track to play in Week 4 against the Chargers. Fellow Seahawks starting safety Ty Okada (hamstring) will not resume practicing today, though the unit’s overall health is heading in the right direction.
The veteran pass-rushers signed a three-year deal with the Titans in the offseason. He has one sack on six pressures this year. A DNP today suggests he could miss Week 4 against the Ravens.
The Giants’ backup is not presently fantasy-relevant, and a knee injury certainly won’t improve his stock, though coach John Harbaugh said he is only “day-to-day.” Giants LT Andrew Thomas (groin) was also sidelined, but he played through it last week.
Risner signed a one-year, $5 million contract extension with the Bengals in the offseason. He has started all three games at right guard this year. Risner has allowed just three pressures this year and has been a solid contributor in the run game as well. Jalen Rivers took his reps in practice today, meaning he is the next man up if Risner can’t go on Sunday.
Okonkwo was limited today after traveling with the team to London last night. Both signs are positive. Okonkwo has not played since injuring his hamstring in Week 1. If active, he will likely just be a boom-bust TE2.
Head coach Jesse Minter said after practice that Jackson was dealing with “something small.” Both his comments and the limited status suggest this is nothing more than a minor issue, though a full practice tomorrow would undoubtedly ease the minds of Ravens fans and fantasy managers. Barring a setback, Jackson will remain a top-end QB1 for his Week 4 date with the Titans.
Flowers played on a pitch count last week but still amassed 84 yards on five grabs. He was listed as questionable ahead of the game and Baltimore took his status down to inactives 90 minutes before kickoff. A limited practice to open the week means we should have less drama surrounding his availability for Week 4. Even if he doesn’t get up to a full complement of snaps on Sunday, Flowers will be, at worst, a WR2.
Meyers has been playing through the thumb issue all year and that won’t change in Week 4. With Brian Thomas Jr.'s role disappearing, Meyers has quietly emerged as the No. 2 receiver on one of the league’s best offenses. He remains a solid FLEX play for his Week 4 date with the Bengals.
