Bills TE Dawson Knox (back, hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in 3 limited practices, so we’re tentatively expecting him to play. But Knox obviously won’t be at 100%.
Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Atlanta has been careful with Patterson’s practice reps since the summer, so it’s tough to know how serious the knee issue really is. We’ll get the Falcons’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. If Patterson is out, rookie Tyler Allgeier will likely operate as the lead back.
Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. We'll see if Arizona makes a move to replace Prater, but you should look for healthier options for fantasy lineups.
As expected, Cardinals WR A.J. Green (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. Hopefully you weren’t counting on him. Green’s snaps figure to be picked up by some combination of WRs Andy Isabella and Andre Baccellia.
Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers after a limited week of practice. HC Kliff Kingsbury on Friday insinuated that Moore will be a game-time decision. We wouldn't trust him in fantasy lineups in his 1st game off a multi-week injury. But Moore's return would knock WR Greg Dortch out of fantasy consideration.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice. We'll look for further details on his status ahead of Sunday's 4:05 pm ET kickoff.
Jets QB Zach Wilson (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. Wilson shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups, of course. We’ll see what the move from Joe Flacco to Wilson means for New York’s skill-position guys.
Vikings RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) isn't listed on the final Week 4 injury report after putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday. The shoulder issue adds obvious risk to his fantasy profile -- but remember that he went for 205 yards and 2 scores on 27 carries playing through the same issue vs. the Steelers last season. You'd need to be loaded at RB to consider benching Cook vs. the Saints this week.
Eagles RB Boston Scott (ribs) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He's totaled 10 carries and 1 target through 3 games, so his absence could mean a few extra touches for RBs Miles Sanders and/or Kenneth Gainwell. Trey Sermon figures to be active as Philly's #3 RB on Sunday.
The Lions have ruled WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. And that's not the only injury at play in this pass-catching corps. TE T.J. Hockenson (foot), WR D.J. Chark (ankle) and Josh Reynolds (ankle) are also dealing with injuries that have cost them practice time this week. Khalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus sit behind that group if any others wind up inactive. HC Dan Campbell also said Friday that RB D'Andre Swift is "probably out" for the game. We'll update official statuses for others as they come out.
The Panthers list RB Christian McCaffrey as questionable with the quad injury that has limited his activity this week. McCaffrey did take part in Friday's practice. We'll have to watch his status through the weekend.
Saints WR Jarvis Landry (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and seems on track to play. But check back around 8 am ET on Sunday to make sure he's active.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (rib) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's morning's game vs. the Vikings. He was in the same boat heading into last week, before playing 70% of the snaps and racking up 15 carries and 7 targets. We'll get New Orleans' inactives around 8 am ET Sunday, but Kamara can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now.
Saints QB Jameis Winston is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings in London because of back and ankle injuries that have kept him out of practice this week. That will leave Andy Dalton as the starter. Dalton's career completion rate (62.2%) stands just 0.9 percentage points higher than Winston's, so we're not ready to project a boost in catch rate for Saints skill players. Dalton's shorter career average depth of target, though (8.6 vs. Winston's 10.8) could alter the offensive approach. Dalton's style could help the target shares of RB Alvin Kamara and WR Jarvis Landry in particular. We're still betting on WR Michael Thomas' absence affecting the pass-catchers' outlooks more than the QB switch, though. Missing Winston also could mean a few more Taysom Hill snaps behind center. He carries some upside if you're reaching deep for a TE. But we wouldn't play Hill over anyone from David Njoku up in this week's TE rankings.
The Saints have ruled WR Michael Thomas (foot) out for Sunday morning's game against the Vikings in London. Thomas' absence leaves target share available for WRs Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry, as well as TE Juwan Johnson. We'll see how much longer this foot issue is expected to hamper Thomas.
Bengals RB Joe Mixon racked up 24 carries and 4 targets in Thursday night's win over the Dolphins. All that work resulted in 74 yards and 1 TD. That's a fine fantasy outing -- but we're expecting more on that massive volume. Mixon had very little room to run behind a still-in-progress offensive line. And on the few occasions when he found some space, he failed to make defenders miss. Mixon is now averaging just 2.7 yards per carry and 4.8 yards per target through 4 games. By comparison, he averaged 4.1 yards per carry and 6.5 yards per target last year. Expect his efficiency marks to start creeping toward those 2021 numbers going forward, making Mixon a nice trade target right now.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel confirmed after Thursday night's loss to the Bengals that QB Tua Tagovailoa is in the concussion protocol. We'll see if he has any other injuries beyond that. Miami's next game is in 10 days vs. the Jets. QB Teddy Bridgewater played well in relief of Tagovailoa in Cincinnati, completing 14 of 23 passes for 193 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT in a little over 1 half of action.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa exited in the 2nd quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals after being slammed to the turf by Bengals DL Josh Tupou. He was taken off the field by a stretcher. We'll update Tua's status when we know more. QB Teddy Bridgewater will take over for Miami.
Update: Tagovailoa has been ruled out with head and neck injuries and is being transported to a hospital.
Update: According to the Amazon Prime broadcast crew, Tagovailoa is expected to be discharged from the hospital tonight and travel back to Miami with the team.
After returning to a limited practice on Wednesday, Bucs WR Chris Godwin did not practice on Thursday. He's now listed on the injury report with "hamstring" and "rest," so it looks like this was a planned day off. We'll see what Godwin does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. That followed a limited practice on Wednesday. Look elsewhere for your Week 4 fantasy lineups.
