Week 4 Fantasy Football Practice News & Notes for Thursday

Sep 28, 2017

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (right wrist) took full practice reps again Thursday. Bortles should be fine to face the Jets.

Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) missed practice again Thursday. He has been ruled out, so Case Keenum will get another start. He completed 25-of-33 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns against the Bucs in Week 3, but the Lions are tougher against the pass (#8 in QB aFPA).

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder) missed practice again Thursday. Luck needs to practice for two weeks or so before returning to game action. He’s supposedly targeting Week 6 for his return.

Broncos QB Paxton Lynch (right shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Jets QB Josh McCown (ribs) took full practice reps again Thursday. McCown will be out there against Jacksonville.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Newton will play, but he hasn’t been his usually productive self this season. He’s running less by design — he’s averaging 4.7 attempts per game after averaging 6.0 attempts in 2016 and 8.3 attempts in 2015.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. It’s a rest day for Big Ben, so he should be fine to face Baltimore. In his last three regular season games in Baltimore, he has averaged 237 yards with 0.33 touchdowns and 1.33 interceptions. Not good.
