Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) is expected to land on IR, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. MVS has already been ruled out for Week 4 and will also miss Weeks 5 and 6. He's droppable in most fantasy leagues. We'll see exactly how snaps are divvied behind WR Davante Adams in Sunday's game vs. the Steelers.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) remained limited in Friday's practice. His status for Monday night's game vs. the Chargers is uncertain. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. He was limited in practice all week. Mitchell's availability on Sunday will come down to pain tolerance, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Mitchell will be a risk/reward RB3 play if active this weekend. If not, Trey Sermon will again be in play as a RB3 or flex.
49ers TE George Kittle (calf) is questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Kittle said Friday that he's "feeling good" but wouldn't commit to being available on Sunday. HC Kyle Shanahan, meanwhile, said he'd have a better idea of Kittle's status on Saturday. We'll continue to keep you updated on the situation.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (foot) isn’t listed on the final injury report. He popped up as a limited participant on Thursday and was limited again on Friday -- but he’s evidently fine for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. Unless we hear otherwise, Metcalf is safe to get into Week 4 fantasy lineups.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. He was limited in Wednesday's practice, sidelined on Thursday and then a full participant on Friday. That points to Lockett playing on Sunday, but you'll need to check back that morning to make sure that's the case.
Rams RB Darrell Henderson (ribs) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. He put in a full practice on Friday, though, and HC Sean McVay confirmed that Henderson will play on Sunday. He was getting feature-back usage before that rib injury, but we wouldn't be surprised if Los Angeles scaled back Henderson's workload a bit going forward. Still, he's a nice Week 4 fantasy play in a likely shootout vs. a leaky Arizona run defense.
Seahawks TE Gerald Everett remains on the COVID list as of Friday afternoon. Check Shark Bites to see if he’s cleared in time for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers, but Everett shouldn’t be in your fantasy plans right now.
Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (ribs, lower leg) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. We haven't heard any concern about his status, but check back Sunday to make sure he's active. Gordon's absence would turn RB Javonte Williams into a strong fantasy play.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He sat out the first 2 practices of the week but was a full-go on Friday. WR Marquise Brown said Jackson looked “real good.” He’s fully expected to start vs. Denver, but check back Sunday for confirmation.
Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Jets after missing the past 2 games. Firkser could be in for an expanded role in the passing game with WRs A.J. Brown and Julio Jones out, making him an intriguing DFS flier.
Jets TE Tyler Kroft (ribs) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he should play. But hopefully you have a better fantasy option.
Bucs WR Antonio Brown was activated from the COVID list and is expected back for Sunday night’s game vs. the Patriots. Brown should pick up some extra work in that one with TE Rob Gronkowski unlikely to play.
The Texans on Friday placed LB Zach Cunningham and DL Ross Blacklock on the COVID list. That means neither guy will be available for Sunday's game against the Bills. Cunningham is a big loss for IDP lineups. Expect Kamu Grugier-Hill to start in his place. Christian Kirksey also gets an opportunity boost.
Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski (ribs) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night's game vs. the Patriots. He didn't practice all week. It's a surprise after reports that Gronk was on track to play in this one. He obviously should be on fantasy benches now. We'll let you know if his status changes. TEs Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard figure to split pass-catching duties with Gronkowski out, leaving both guys as unreliable fantasy plays.
Packers RB Aaron Jones (ankle) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. He should be ready for his usual role against the Steelers this weekend.
Jets WR Jamison Crowder (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game against the Titans. He put in a full practice on Friday, so we're expecting him to make his 2021 debut on Sunday. Of course, Crowder is a weak fantasy play on a struggling Jets offense.
Dolphins WR Will Fuller (chest, elbow) isn't listed on the final injury report. After missing Wednesday's practice, he was limited on Thursday and a full-go on Friday. It doesn't look like we need to worry about the injuries, but Fuller is a fringe fantasy option with Jacoby Brissett under center.
Colts QB Carson Wentz (ankles) remained limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He'll start, but this is a reminder that he's still operating at less than 100%.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins after a limited week of practice. We've heard nothing to suggest that Taylor is in danger of missing this one, but his status is worth checking on when inactives come out around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
