The Saints have ruled RB Alvin Kamara OUT for this morning's game against the Vikings because of his rib injury, according to NFL Network's Stacey Dales -- who said HC Dennis Allen confirmed it. That leaves Mark Ingram as the backfield leader against a Minnesota defense that has been especially soft vs. the run.
Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) "plans to play" vs. the Bucs tonight, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. We'd try not to use MVS in season-long fantasy lineups at less than 100%.
ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (thigh) "likely" to play vs. the Cardinals today. "He might not be at full strength" after missing 2 practices this week, Schefter adds. We'll look for further updates on the situation, but unless we hear that McCaffrey's snaps and touches will be significantly scaled back, he belongs in Week 4 fantasy lineups.
Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It'll be his season debut after hurting that hamstring in practice just prior to Week 1. WR Greg Dortch has been fine in Moore's place over the past 3 weeks, but we're assuming that Moore will take back over as Arizona's primary slot receiver. With some uncertainty about the situation, though, we'd try to avoid both guys in Week 4 fantasy lineups.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown was added to Friday's injury report and limited in practice, but we never heard any real concern about his status. He can stay in Week 4 fantasy lineups.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (back, hip) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Knox is listed as questionable but got in 3 limited practices this week. We never heard any real concern about his Week 4 availability.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Davis played through this ankle issue last week but tweaked it again in practice this week. He ended up getting in just 2 limited practices and is listed as questionable. Consider Davis a risk/reward WR3 in Week 4 fantasy lineups.
ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that the Bucs are "optimistic" that WRs Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) will be able to play vs. the Chiefs tonight. "But Tampa Bay wants to test both pregame to make sure," Schefter adds. We won't get the Bucs' inactives until around 7 pm ET, and Godwin and Jones will both carry elevated risk if they are active. So we'd try to keep them on fantasy benches this week. This news makes WR Russell Gage a shakier Week 4 fantasy play but helps QB Tom Brady.
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Eagles today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Jones injured that ankle early in the practice week but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. Still, it's unlikely that he'll be operating at 100% today.
Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) "plans to play" vs. the Browns today but won't know for sure until he tests that knee in pregame warmups, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. We'll get Atlanta's inactives around 11:30 am ET. But it's safe to say that Patterson won't be anywhere close to 100% if he does give it a go.
49ers RB Ty Davis-Price (ankle), as expected, has been ruled out for Monday night's game vs. the Rams. RB Jeff Wilson played 73% of the offensive snaps, handled 12 of 13 RB carries and saw 3 targets last week and figures to play a similar role on Monday night.
The Buccaneers have promoted WR Cole Beasley from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Tampa Bay will get WR Mike Evans back from last week's suspension, but WR Breshad Perriman is doubtful. Russell Gage, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are all questionable. We'll see which guys suit up. Don't bet on fantasy relevance for Beasley in Week 4.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Commanders. He's officially questionable after missing last week with a PCL issue. Schultz still carries some risk for fantasy football lineups.
The Lions have downgraded WR D.J. Shark (ankle) to OUT for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. That leaves QB Jared Goff without his top 2 wideouts, as Amon-Ra St. Brown had already been ruled out. The team elevated WRs Tom Kennedy and Maurice Alexander from the practice squad. Kalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus should join Josh Reynolds in the starting lineup.
The Saints have downgraded QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) to out for Sunday's game in London. That leaves Andy Dalton to start.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs. Kansas City will elevate K Matthew Wright from the practice squad for that one.
The Patriots ruled out WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) on Saturday. He was limited in practice all week. We'll see if he’s able to return for a Week 5 meeting with Detroit.
The Browns have downgraded EDGE Myles Garrett to out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, due to the injuries he suffered in Monday's car accident. It doesn't seem like he should miss further time, given that Garrett said he hoped to play in this game and the team initially listing him as questionable. With fellow EDGE starter Jadeveon Clowney questionable, Cleveland could be down to Alex Wright and Isaiah Thomas as the starters at those spots against Atlanta.
Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. He’s yet to return to practice, so consider him iffy for Week 5. Vegas will also be without TE Foster Moreau (knee) this weekend, boosting the target projections for WR Davante Adams, TE Darren Waller and WR Mack Hollins.
Packers CB Jaire Alexander (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He's a low-level IDP, and New England will be forced to start Brian Hoyer at QB. So whether Alexander plays figure to have little fantasy impact.
