September 2017 4for4 Player News Articles

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (right wrist) took full practice reps all week. Bortles will be fine to face the Jets.

Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. 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).

Redskins QB Kirk Cousins (not injury related) missed practice Friday. His absence was due to the birth of his child, so he’ll be fine to play on Monday night.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. 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, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

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

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) took limited practice reps all week. Newton was removed from the injury report, so he 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) took full practice reps again Friday. No worries here, outside of a bad matchup in Baltimore and Roethlisberger’s historically poor splits in early games on the road.

Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee, questionable) took full practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 4. The full practice indicates that he’ll play against New Orleans in the London game. He should have a very productive day after a disappointing outing against the Jets.

Steelers RB LeVeon Bell (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. Bell is good to go for Week 4.

Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (thigh) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Bernard was removed from the injury report so he’ll be fine to face Cleveland.

Texans RB Alfred Blue (ankle) took full practice reps all week.

Rams RB Malcolm Brown (hamstring) took full practice reps all week.

Patriots RB Rex Burkhead (ribs, doubtful) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is doubtful for Week 4. It looks like he’s making progress, but he’s not going to play against Carolina. Dion Lewis picked up his snaps in Week 3.

Broncos RB Jamaal Charles (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. Charles is a go to face Oakland. He looked like his old self in Week 3.

Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He was removed from the injury report, so he’ll play against Cincinnati.

Giants RB Orleans Darkwa (back, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4.

Texans RB Tyler Ervin (shoulder) took full practice reps all week.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee, toe, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. ESPN’s Rich Cimini said that the Jets will “lean heavily” on Powell if Forte can’t play. Powell should serve as the lead back against the Jaguars, who are No. 12 in RB aFPA. However, the Jaguars have given up sizable yardage games to Alex Collins (82 yards), Derrick Henry (92 yards, touchdown), and Lamar Miller (65 yards) in each of the first three weeks. As the lead back in the final four games of last season, Powell averaged 23.7 fantasy points (PPR) and was second only to LeVeon Bell at his position in that span. When 4for4’s Joe Holka studied Powell for his Rushing Expectation series, he noted that Powell has “rare finishing ability” and “attacks defenses and runs with authority.” Holka also described himself as “a fan of Powell’s talent.” Powell hasn’t run the ball as well this year, but this should be his chance to get into a rhythm.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. The full practice indicates that he’ll be fine to face Philadelphia. Branden Oliver is his backup.

Colts RB Frank Gore (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Gore will be fine for a tough matchup in Seattle, though the Seahawks have struggled against the run this year.

49ers RB Carlos Hyde (hip, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. Hyde is being described as a game-time decision by HC Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers play in the late round of games on Sunday, so owners will need to have a Plan B ready if he can’t play. Hopefully, we’ll have a better idea of his status by Sunday morning, but for now we’re expecting that he’ll play.

Browns RB Duke Johnson (shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Johnson was removed from the injury report so he’ll play against Cincy.

49ers RB Kyle Juszczyk (concussion, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4.

Redskins RB Rob Kelley (rib) took limited practice reps again Friday. Kelley seems to be on track to play, but we’ll know more on Saturday when the final MNF injury report is released.

Saints RB John Kuhn (biceps) was removed from the injury report Friday.

Colts RB Marlon Mack (shoulder, out) took limited practice reps again Friday and is out for Week 4.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (wrist) took full practice reps all week. McCoy will be fine to face Atlanta.

Redskins RB Samaje Perine (hand) took full practice reps again Friday.

Saints RB Adrian Peterson (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Peterson will play against Miami.

Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (ankle, doubtful) missed practice again Thursday and is doubtful for Week 4. Pete Carroll suggested that J.D. McKissic could absorb some of Prosise’s work in the passing game in Week 4.

Raiders RB Jalen Richard (calf) took full practice reps again Friday. With DeAndre Washington out, Richard will serve as Marshawn Lynch’s primary backup in Week 4. Normally, he’d have some Sneaky Start potential in this role, but it’s a tough matchup against Denver.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Stewart will be fine to face New England. It’s a good matchup, but game script could work against Stewart if the Panthers fall behind early.

Giants RB Shane Vereen (calf) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week. Vereen was removed from the injury report so he’ll be out there against the Bucs.

Falcons RB Terron Ward (neck, shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Lions RB Dwayne Washington (quadricep, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Jalen Richard will serve as Marshawn Lynch’s primary backup in Week 4.

Colts WR Kamar Aiken (concussion) took full practice reps again Friday.

Patriots WR Danny Amendola (knee) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Amendola is a go for Week 4.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle) took full practice reps all week.

Rams WR Tavon Austin (concussion) took full practice reps again Friday.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (groin, questionable) missed practice again Thursday and is questionable for Week 4. Baldwin practiced on Friday and avoided any setbacks, so it appears that he’ll play on Sunday night. Owners may want to roster Tyler Lockett or Paul Richardson as a pivot if Baldwin is unable to play.

Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Benjamin was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go.

Browns WR Kenny Britt (knee) took full practice reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week. It looks like Britt will be fine for a tough matchup against Cincinnati.

Cardinals WR John Brown (quadricep, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. Per HC Bruce Arians, Brown will play in Week 4. His presence puts a dent in the outlook for J.J. Nelson and Jaron Brown.

Steelers WR Martavis Bryant (illness) took full practice reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week. Bryant is "good to go” for a tough matchup in Baltimore.

Browns WR Sammie Coates (hamstring, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 4.

Raiders WR Amari Cooper (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Cooper was removed from the injury report so he’ll be out there in a tough matchup against Denver.

Bengals WR Cody Core (ribs) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Raiders WR Michael Crabtree (chest, questionable) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is questionable for Week 4. This appears to be a midweek downgrade, but hopefully we’ll get more details on Saturday or Sunday morning. Owners should have a Plan B ready to go.

Redskins WR Jamison Crowder (hamstring) took limited practice reps Friday. Crowder is expected to play on Monday night, but keep an eye out for Washington’s final injury report on Saturday.

Titans WR Corey Davis (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Davis has already been ruled out for Week 4. It’s good news for Rishard Matthews, who has posted 69 catches for 1,048 yards and 10 touchdowns in his last 16 games. That works out to 14.6 fantasy points per game (PPR), which is what T.Y. Hilton has scored as this year’s No. 18 receiver. Eric Decker should also see increased snaps against the Texans.

Patriots WR Phillip Dorsett (knee) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week .

Texans WR Will Fuller (shoulder) took full practice reps all week. Fuller will make his return against the Titans. Fuller’s speed makes him an interesting boom/bust play against a shaky Tennessee secondary.

Lions WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring, questionable) missed practice again Friday and is questionable for Week 4. This was a midweek downgrade, so his Week 4 availability is in question. If he’s out, Marvin Jones and T.J. Jones should see a bump in targets, though it’s a bad matchup against a good Minnesota secondary.

Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant (ankle, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4.

Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Hopkins was removed from the injury report so fire him up against a sketchy Tennessee pass defense.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (back) took limited practice reps all week. Jones was removed from the injury report, so he’s a go for a home matchup against Buffalo.

Bengals WR Brandon LaFell (knee) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. LaFell is a go for Sunday.

Broncos WR Cody Latimer (knee, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice Thursday and is questionable for Week 4.

Cardinals WR J.J. Nelson (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. Nelson will probably play, but the likely return of John Brown complicates matters.

Colts WR Chester Rogers (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Bengals WR John Ross (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Panthers WR Curtis Samuel (back, out) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is out for Week 4.

Patriots WR Matt Slater (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4.

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring, questionable) was limited Friday after taking full reps earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. This is a downgrade from earlier in the week, so Snead is in danger of missing Week 4. Brandon Coleman and Ted Ginn would stand to benefit.

Dolphins WR Kenny Stills (hand, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. The full practice indicates that Stills will play against his old team in the London game.

Jaguars WR Jaelen Strong (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Chiefs WR DeAnthony Thomas (shoulder) took full practice reps Thursday.

Rams WR Sammy Watkins (concussion) took full practice reps again Friday. Watkins was removed from the injury report, so he’s a go for a nice matchup against Dallas.

Chargers WR Mike Williams (back, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 4.

Colts TE Jack Doyle (foot) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Doyle was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go for a tough matchup in Seattle.

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (back, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Tyler Kroft played 98% of the snaps in Week 3.

Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (ankle) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Graham is good to go for Sunday.

Cardinals TE Jermaine Gresham (ribs) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Jets TE Jordan Leggett (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Chargers TE Sean McGrath (foot, questionable) took full practice reps Friday and is questionable for Week 4.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (rib, sternum) took limited practice reps again Friday. Reed seems to be on track to play, but we should know more when Washington releases its final injury report on Saturday.

Browns TE Randall Telfer (knee, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4.

Jets TE Eric Tomlinson (elbow) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Titans TE Delanie Walker (hamstring) took full practice reps again Friday. Walker was removed from the injury report so he’s fully expected to play in Houston on Sunday.

Ravens TE Ben Watson (calf, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 4. With no practice participation this week, Watson looks very iffy for Sunday. The Ravens play early, but owners should get a Plan B ready to go.

Ravens TE Maxx Williams (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

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.

Steelers RB LeVeon Bell (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (thigh) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Bernard should be fine to face Cleveland, but any injury to Bernard or Jeremy Hill would seem to bode well for Joe Mixon.

Texans RB Alfred Blue (ankle) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Rams RB Malcolm Brown (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday.

Patriots RB Rex Burkhead (ribs) missed practice again Thursday. It appears that Burkhead will sit out another week. Dion Lewis took over his snaps in Week 3.

Broncos RB Jamaal Charles (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday. Charles is just getting his usual midweek rest.

Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Crowell has had a tough start to the season and things aren’t going to get much easier against the Bengals (No. 10 in RB aFPA). He has a great matchup against the Jets in Week 5.

Giants RB Orleans Darkwa (back) missed practice again Thursday. Shane Vereen is also missing practice. This means Paul Perkins could be in for a larger than usual workload in Week 4.

Texans RB Tyler Ervin (shoulder) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee, toe) missed practice again Thursday. ESPN’s Rich Cimini said that the Jets will “lean heavily” on Powell if Forte can’t play. Powell should serve as the lead back against the Jaguars, who are No. 12 in RB aFPA. However, the Jaguars have given up sizable yardage games to Alex Collins (82 yards), Derrick Henry (92 yards, touchdown), and Lamar Miller (65 yards) in each of the first three weeks.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Gordon is expected to play this week, but given a tough matchup against Philadelphia, he’s not a sure bet to produce at his usual levels.

Colts RB Frank Gore (not injury related) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. This looks like a veteran’s day of rest for Gore.

49ers RB Carlos Hyde (hip) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Hyde should be fine to face Arizona.

Browns RB Duke Johnson (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Johnson should be available to face Cincinnati. After a very quiet Week 1 (2 touches, 20 yards), Johnson has 15 touches for 184 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks.

49ers RB Kyle Juszczyk (concussion) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Redskins RB Rob Kelley (rib) took limited practice reps Thursday. Kelley practiced last week before ultimately sitting out.

Saints RB John Kuhn (biceps) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice.

Colts RB Marlon Mack (shoulder) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Mack’s return makes it possible that he’ll play against Seattle.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (wrist) took full practice reps again Thursday. McCoy should be fine to face Atlanta. The Falcons own the No. 28 RB aFPA and McCoy has averaged 5.51 YPC in 15 games held either in a dome or in a stadium with a retractable roof.

Redskins RB Samaje Perine (hand) took full practice reps Thursday.

Saints RB Adrian Peterson (not injury related) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. Peterson “tweaked his knee” per Ian Rapoport, but the Saints aren’t listing it as a knee injury on the injury report.

Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Pete Carroll suggested that J.D. McKissic could absorb some of Prosise’s work in the passing game in Week 4.

Raiders RB Jalen Richard (calf) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (not injury related) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. This looks like a veteran’s day off. The Patriots are No. 30 in RB aFPA, so if the Panthers can keep it close, Stewart is likely to produce.

Giants RB Shane Vereen (calf) missed practice again Thursday. Vereen looks iffy for Week 4. With Orleans Darkwa also missing practice, Paul Perkins could see a large workload or the Giants could elect to work rookie Wayne Gallman into the mix.

Falcons RB Terron Ward (neck, shoulder) missed practice again Thursday.

Lions RB Dwayne Washington (quadricep) missed practice again Thursday.

Colts WR Kamar Aiken (concussion) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Rams WR Tavon Austin (concussion) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (groin) did not practice Wednesday. Pete Carroll expects Baldwin to play in Week 4. If he’s out, Tyler Lockett and Paul Richardson will become Sneaky Starts in a great matchup against the Colts.

Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Benjamin looks like a full go for a nice matchup against New England.

Browns WR Kenny Britt (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Britt should be fine to play against the Bengals, but this is worth monitoring on Friday.

Cardinals WR John Brown (quadricep) took limited practice reps Wednesday. This is an upgrade from last week. Brown may be able to play against San Francisco, but he’s hard to trust at this point. His potential return would put a dent in J.J. Nelson’s upside.

Steelers WR Martavis Bryant (illness) missed practice again Thursday. Bryant should be fine to face Baltimore, though it’s a tough road matchup.

Browns WR Sammie Coates (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Raiders WR Amari Cooper (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Cooper is fully expected to play in a tough matchup in Denver.

Bengals WR Cody Core (ribs) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Raiders WR Michael Crabtree (chest) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Crabtree looks like he’ll be active for a tough matchup in Denver.

Titans WR Corey Davis (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. Davis has already been ruled out for Week 4. It’s good news for Rishard Matthews, who has posted 69 catches for 1,048 yards and 10 touchdowns in his last 16 games. That works out to 14.6 fantasy points per game (PPR), which is what T.Y. Hilton has scored as this year’s No. 18 receiver. Eric Decker should also see increased snaps against the Texans.

Patriots WR Phillip Dorsett (knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Texans WR Will Fuller (shoulder) took full practice reps again Thursday. Fuller will make his return against the Titans. Fuller’s speed makes him an interesting boom/bust play against a shaky Tennessee secondary.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (back) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Jones is expected to play through the injury.

Bengals WR Brandon LaFell (knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday. LaFell has been able to produce with Tyler Eifert sidelined, but a sore knee isn’t helping his Sneaky Start status.

Broncos WR Cody Latimer (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Cardinals WR J.J. Nelson (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Nelson played last week so he should be fine to face San Francisco. Keep an eye on John Brown’s status before plugging Nelson into your lineup.

Colts WR Chester Rogers (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Bengals WR John Ross (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Ross is not looking good for Week 4.

Panthers WR Curtis Samuel (back) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Patriots WR Matt Slater (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Rams WR Sammy Watkins (concussion) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Watkins continues to work his way through the concussion protocol.

Chargers WR Mike Williams (back) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Colts TE Jack Doyle (foot) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Doyle will play, but he has a tough matchup with a talented Seattle secondary.

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (back) missed practice again Thursday. He’s not expected back this week. Tyler Kroft played 98% of the snaps in Week 3.

Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Graham missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday and ultimately suited up on Sunday.

Cardinals TE Jermaine Gresham (ribs) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Steelers TE Jesse James (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Jets TE Jordan Leggett (knee) missed practice again Thursday.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (rib, sternum) took limited practice reps Thursday. Reed seems to be progressing, but the Redskins play on Monday night, so owners will have another tough decision on their hands. Vernon Davis is the ideal pivot. Since last season, in the five games that Reed has missed, Davis has averaged 3.8 catches for 49 yards and 0.40 touchdowns.

Browns TE Randall Telfer (knee) missed practice again Thursday.

Jets TE Eric Tomlinson (elbow) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Titans TE Delanie Walker (hamstring) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Walker will be good to go to face Houston.

Ravens TE Ben Watson (calf) missed practice again Thursday. Watson’s status on Friday will be key for his Week 4 availability.

Ravens TE Maxx Williams (ankle) missed practice again Thursday.

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (right wrist) practiced fully Wednesday. Bortles should be fine to face the Jets.

Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) did not practice Wednesday. The Vikings are hoping Bradford can return this week. Stay tuned.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. Luck needs to practice for two weeks or so before returning to game action. He’s supposedly targeting Week 6 for his return.

Jets QB Josh McCown (ribs) practiced fully Wednesday. McCown will be out there against Jacksonville.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Newton should be able to play against New England, but he doesn’t look like the same fantasy player that we’ve seen in years past.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) did not practice 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.

Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports that Ajayi is expected to play in Week 4.

Steelers RB LeVeon Bell (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday. It’s probably just a rest day for Bell.

Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (thigh) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Bernard should be fine to face Cleveland, though he has taken a backseat to Joe Mixon in the Cincinnati backfield.

Texans RB Alfred Blue (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday.

Patriots RB Rex Burkhead (ribs) did not practice Wednesday. Burkhead may have to sit out another week. Dion Lewis took over his snaps in Week 3.

Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Crowell has had a tough start to the season and things aren’t going to get much easier against the Bengals (No. 10 in RB aFPA). He has a great matchup against the Jets in Week 5.

Giants RB Orleans Darkwa (back) did not practice Wednesday. He’s been pushing Paul Perkins for snaps, but his Week 4 availability is in doubt.

Texans RB Tyler Ervin (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee, toe) did not practice Wednesday. Forte is dealing with turf toe and is not expected to play in Week 4. The Jets signed Travaris Cadet to shore up the depth chart.

Browns RB Duke Johnson (shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. It’s a new injury for Johnson, but the limited Wednesday practice indicates that he’ll be fine to face Cincinnati.

Colts RB Marlon Mack (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. It looks like Mack may miss another week.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (wrist) practiced fully Wednesday. McCoy should be good to go to face Atlanta in the dome.

Packers RB Ty Montgomery (wrist) practiced fully Wednesday. Montgomery was removed from the injury report, so he’s good to go for Thursday Night Football.

Giants RB Shane Vereen (calf) did not practice Wednesday. Orleans Darkwa is also hobbled. Rookie Wayne Gallman could split the workload with Paul Perkins in Week 4.

Falcons RB Terron Ward (neck, shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Lions RB Dwayne Washington (quadricep) did not practice Wednesday.

Colts WR Kamar Aiken (concussion) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Patriots WR Danny Amendola (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Owners should get used to seeing Amendola on the injury report. He played 49% of the snaps in Week 3.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday.

Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Benjamin stretched with the team, which is a relatively good sign for his Week 4 availability. He’s a player to monitor closely this week.

Browns WR Kenny Britt (knee) did not practice Wednesday. This looks like a maintenance day for the vet, but we’ll monitor his practice activity this week.

Steelers WR Martavis Bryant (illness) did not practice Wednesday. This shouldn’t keep Bryant out of Week 4, but with a road game against a tough defense, this is not a prime blowup spot for the boom-or-bust receiver.

Browns WR Sammie Coates (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (chest) practiced fully Wednesday. Cobb was removed from the injury report so it looks like he’s a go for Thursday Night Football.

Bengals WR Cody Core (ribs) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Titans WR Corey Davis (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Davis has already been ruled out for Week 4. It’s good news for Rishard Matthews, who has posted 69 catches for 1,048 yards and 10 touchdowns in his last 16 games. That works out to 14.6 fantasy points per game (PPR), which is what T.Y. Hilton has scored as this year’s No. 18 receiver. Eric Decker should also see increased snaps against the Texans.

Patriots WR Phillip Dorsett (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Texans WR Will Fuller (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday. Fuller seems to be on track to make his 2017 debut in a good matchup with a Tennessee defense that is No. 31 in WR aFPA.

Lions WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Jaguars WR Jaelen Strong (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Colts TE Jack Doyle (foot) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Doyle should be fine to face Seattle.

Jets TE Jordan Leggett (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Browns TE Randall Telfer (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Jets TE Eric Tomlinson (elbow) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Titans TE Delanie Walker (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Walker is considered “day-to-day” with the injury, but is expected to play against Houston.

Ravens TE Ben Watson (calf) did not practice Wednesday. Watson’s age makes any appearance on the injury report concerning, but he’s still on track to play against the Steelers. He has posted two usable fantasy lines in a row.

Ravens TE Maxx Williams (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Jay Ajayi left the game early in the first quarter favoring his left arm or wrist, per ESPN's James Walker. He returned for the start of the Dolphins' second drive.

Ravens WR Jeremy Maclin underwent concussion protocol after falling and hitting his head during an interception in the second quarter against Jacksonville. He was cleared to return at the start of the second half.

After taking a hard hit on his left shoulder, Steeler TE James left the game for a series, then returned but took himself back out after one play. He was examined in the sideline medical tent before leaving for the locker room with his shoulder pads off, and was declared questionable to return. He made his return in the third quarter.

Colts WR Kamar AIken OUT with concussion.

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (right wrist) took full practice reps all week. Bortles will be out there in a tough matchup against a good Baltimore defense.

Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee, out) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is out for Week 3. With Bradford out, we have to downgrade the entire Minnesota offense. The Bucs defense looks like a good streaming option after a great outing against the Bears in Week 2.

Jaguars QB Chad Henne (illness, questionable) missed practice Friday and is questionable for Week 3.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Jacoby Brissett gets another start, which is bad news for T.Y. Hilton and Co. Only Jack Doyle seems to have any chemistry with Brissett.

Broncos QB Paxton Lynch (right shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder, ankle, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3. Newton will be fine to play in a fantastic matchup against a New Orleans defense that has been shredded by Sam Bradford and Tom Brady in the last two weeks.

Cardinals QB Carson Palmer (not injury related) missed practice Friday. Arizona plays on Monday night, so this is just a rest day for Palmer. He’s set up for a good game in a good matchup at home with no David Johnson to lean on.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. No worries here.

Bears QB Mark Sanchez (neck) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking full practice reps Thursday.

Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee, questionable) took full practice reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3. Ajayi should play, per Adam Gase. The full practice indicates he’s good to go. He has a great matchup against the Jets.

Texans RB Alfred Blue (ankle, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3.

Patriots RB Rex Burkhead (ribs, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. With Burkhead out, James White and Mike Gillislee should be more involved and Dion Lewis may see extra snaps as well.

Broncos RB Jamaal Charles (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday.

Bears RB Benny Cunningham (ankle) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking full practice reps Thursday. Cunningham will make his return, but Tarik Cohen is the passing down back in Chicago at this point.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) took full practice reps all week.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3. Gordon was a midweek downgrade but the fact that he returned to practice on Friday indicates that he’ll be able to play in Week 3.

Colts RB Frank Gore (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Gore may see a few extra snaps with Marlon Mack sidelined.

Falcons RB Brian Hill (ankle) took full practice reps all week.

Bears RB Jordan Howard (shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. It looks like Howard is in for Week 3, though it remains to be seen how effective he is after a tough start to the season. The Bears need to keep this one close to ensure that Howard stays involved.

Redskins RB Rob Kelley (rib, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3. Kelley is on track to play against Oakland. This should be a high scoring game, so if Kelley is getting his usual workload, he’s a good bet to find the end zone.

Colts RB Marlon Mack (shoulder, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 3. Robert Turbin should see most of his snaps and touches.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (wrist) took full practice reps again Friday. McCoy will be good to go for Week 3.

Titans RB DeMarco Murray (hamstring, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3. Murray is looking iffy for Week 3, despite the limited practice. If he’s out, Derrick Henry would be a fantasy RB2 against a Seattle defense that got shredded by Carlos Hyde last week. In fact, according to ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe, Henry is expected to see a “significant workload” regardless of Murray’s availability.

Raiders RB Jamize Olawale (quadricep) took full practice reps all week.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Stewart is a good bet for a touchdown in a great matchup against the Saints.

Redskins RB Chris Thompson (back) took full practice reps all week. Thompson may see a few extra touches since he’s been so efficient in the first two games.

Falcons RB Terron Ward (neck, shoulder, out) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is out for Week 3.

Raiders RB DeAndre Washington (hamstring) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Lions RB Dwayne Washington (quadricep, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Zach Zenner will replace Washington’s role in the Detroit offense. Zenner could see a goal line carry or two.

Ravens RB Terrance West (calf, questionable) took full practice reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3. We’re expecting Javorius Allen to lead the backfield in touches whether or not West is able to play. It does look like West will play after a full practice on Friday.

Dolphins RB Damien Williams (rib, questionable) took full practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3.

Colts WR Kamar Aiken (hip, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3.

Patriots WR Danny Amendola (concussion, knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3. Amendola says he’s in for Week 3. In the 8 games that Julian Edelman has missed since 2013, Amendola has averaged 5.4 catches for 54 yards and 0.12 touchdowns per game.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (knee) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (not injury related) was removed from the injury report Thursday.

Giants WR Odell Beckham (ankle) took limited practice reps all week. Beckham’s removal from the injury report indicates that he’s nearing full health. He confirmed as much, saying that he expects to play “a lot more” in Week 3. He’s trending towards WR1 status, but is probably a fantasy WR2 until he looks more like himself.

Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Benjamin will play through the knee and rib injuries. He has a great matchup with the Saints and with Greg Olsen out, he may see even more usage in Week 3.

Browns WR Kenny Britt (knee) took full practice reps all week. Britt had a meeting with Hue Jackson about his lack of effort, which is problematic on many levels. Rashard Higgins looks like the WR1 in Cleveland.

Cardinals WR John Brown (quadricep) missed practice again Friday. We consider Brown doubtful for Monday night at this point.

Cowboys WR Brice Butler (ankle) took limited practice reps Friday.

Ravens WR Michael Campanaro (ankle, questionable) took full practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3.

Bills WR Kaelin Clay (foot) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week .

Browns WR Sammie Coates (hamstring, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 3.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (chest, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 3. It doesn’t look like he’ll play in Week 3. if he’s out, Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison get a bump. In 12 games that either Cobb or Nelson have missed since the 2015 season, Adams has seen 8.9 targets per game, which represents a 24% increase over the 7.2 targets he typically sees with the Green Bay receiving corps at full strength.

Raiders WR Amari Cooper (knee) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Cooper is good to go to face Washington. Due to how and where the Raiders use Cooper, he should avoid Josh Norman for most of the game.

Titans WR Corey Davis (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Taywan Taylor should play an increased role.

Redskins WR Josh Doctson (hamstring) took full practice reps all week.

Patriots WR Phillip Dorsett (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3. With Danny Amendola possibly making his return, Dorsett’s role may be scaled back in Week 3 even if he does play.

Texans WR Bruce Ellington (concussion) took full practice reps all week.

Broncos WR Bennie Fowler (concussion, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3.

Texans WR Will Fuller (shoulder, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 3.

Steelers WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (illness) took full practice reps again Friday.

Patriots WR Chris Hogan (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3. Hogan should be out there against Houston. His upside is capped somewhat by the likely return of Danny Amendola.

Jaguars WR Allen Hurns (shoulder) took full practice reps all week. It looks like Hurns is a go for the London game. He has the best matchup of any of the Jacksonville receivers since he plays in the slot.

Chargers WR Dontrelle Inman (groin) took full practice reps all week.

Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry (knee, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3. Landry is on track to play against the Jets. In his last two games against the Jets in New York, he has caught a total of 16 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns.

Ravens WR Chris Matthews (ankle, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3.

Cardinals WR J.J. Nelson (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Friday. Nelson is off to a great start, but we’ll have to wait until Saturday before we have a better idea of his status for Monday night’s game against Dallas. Jaron Brown wouldn’t be a bad fallback option for those owners planning to start Nelson this week.

Packers WR Jordy Nelson (quadricep, questionable) took full practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3. Nelson called the injury a “charley horse,” so we’re expecting the usual Jordy in Week 3.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (ankle, questionable) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday and is questionable for Week 3. The full participation indicates that Parker is good to go for a great matchup against the Jets.

Seahawks WR Paul Richardson (finger) took full practice reps again Thursday. Richardson should play, but may have fallen behind Tyler Lockett on the Seattle depth chart.

Colts WR Chester Rogers (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3.

Bengals WR John Ross (illness, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 3.

Patriots WR Matt Slater (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3.

Eagles WR Torrey Smith (illness, questionable) missed practice Friday and is questionable for Week 3.

Jaguars WR Jaelen Strong (hamstring, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 3.

Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) took full practice reps again Friday. Thomas will be fine to face Buffalo.

Bears WR Markus Wheaton (finger) was removed from the injury report Friday. It looks like Wheaton will make his Bears debut this week.

Chargers WR Mike Williams (back, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 3.

Cowboys WR Terrance Williams (ankle) missed practice Friday. If Williams can’t play, Brice Butler would likely pick up most of his snaps.

Bears WR Kendall Wright (shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Wright will be fine to face Pittsburgh. Adam Thielen managed 5 catches for 44 yards out of the slot with Case Keenum throwing the ball, so Wright is a solid be to post 10+ fantasy points in PPR formats.

Texans TE Stephen Anderson (concussion) took full practice reps again Friday. Anderson may see starter’s snaps with C.J. Fiedorowicz out.

Bills TE Charles Clay (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Clay will be fine to face Denver.

Raiders TE Jared Cook (shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Cook is good to go for a nice matchup against Washington.

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (back, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. With Eifert out, Tyler Kroft will likely draw the start, but C.J. Uzomah will also be involved. Uzomah was actually more productive while Eifert was out early in the 2016 season.

Giants TE Evan Engram (concussion) took limited practice reps all week. Engram should be good to go to face Philadelphia.

Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (ankle, questionable) missed practice again Thursday and is questionable for Week 3. Graham “should be fine” to play, per head coach Pete Carroll. The matchup against Tennessee is pretty good, but he has not played well this year.

Cardinals TE Jermaine Gresham (ribs) took limited practice reps again Friday. Gresham is expected to play in Week 3.

Texans TE Ryan Griffin (concussion) took full practice reps all week.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (groin, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3. Gronk said the injury wasn’t serious and it looks like he’s on track to play against Houston. ESPN writer Mike Reiss said that Gronk is “good to go” to face Houston.

Broncos TE Jeff Heuerman (shoulder) took full practice reps again Friday.

Saints TE Michael Hoomanawanui (illness) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday.

Steelers TE Jesse James (ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. James should be able to play against Chicago.

Jets TE Jordan Leggett (knee, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 3.

Bears TE Zach Miller (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Miller has the sixth most targets at his position through two weeks.

Bills TE Nick O'Leary (hamstring) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week .

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (rib, sternum, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3. Described as “not healthy right now” by his head coach, Reed has a chest injury that he may be able to play through, presuming he can handle the pain. On Thursday, Jay Gruden said, “The pain is becoming manageable.” On Friday, Reed said that he considers himself a “game-time decision.” We’ll continue to monitor his status, but his owners may want to get a Plan B ready to go. Vernon Davis was serviceable (3.5-47-0.25) in the four games that Reed missed last year. Better yet, Jared Cook plays in the same game and looks like a nice streaming option against Washington.

Jets TE Neal Sterling (ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week .

Browns TE Randall Telfer (knee) took full practice reps all week.

Jets TE Eric Tomlinson (elbow, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3.

Jets TE Will Tye (illness, questionable) missed practice Friday and is questionable for Week 3.

Colts TE Brandon Williams (calf, questionable) took full practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3.

Ravens TE Maxx Williams (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3.

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

Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Bradford appears to be on track to play in Week 3. It’s good news for the entire Minnesota offense, especially Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder) missed practice again Thursday. Luck is now looking like he’s out for Week 4 as well. Jacoby Brissett will draw another start or two.

Broncos QB Paxton Lynch (right shoulder) missed practice again Thursday.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder, ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Newton is fully expected to play in a great matchup against New Orleans. In his last six matchups against the Saints, he has averaged 255 yards passing and 2.17 touchdowns to go along with 36 yards rushing and 0.67 rushing touchdowns. The Panthers want Newton to protect himself, so he may run less, but he should still post solid QB1 numbers against New Orleans.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. No worries here.

Bears QB Mark Sanchez (neck) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Ajayi should play, per Adam Gase. But it’s uncommon for a young player to get two days of rest. He has a great matchup against the Jets.

Texans RB Alfred Blue (ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Patriots RB Rex Burkhead (ribs) missed practice again Thursday. Burkhead was unable to return after a hot start to the game in New Orleans. If he sits, the three other New England running backs stand to benefit.

Broncos RB Jamaal Charles (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Bears RB Benny Cunningham (ankle) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) took full practice reps again Thursday. Forte leads the Jets’ backfield in touches (22), yards (127) and snaps (54%).

Colts RB Frank Gore (not injury related) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. This looks like a day of rest for Gore.

Falcons RB Brian Hill (ankle) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Bears RB Jordan Howard (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Howard should be able to play through the injury again this week, but he was ineffective against the Bucs.

Redskins RB Rob Kelley (rib) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Kelley is on track to play against Oakland.

Colts RB Marlon Mack (shoulder) missed practice Thursday after taking limited reps Wednesday. If Mack can’t play, Robert Turbin should see most of his snaps and touches.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (wrist) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Titans RB DeMarco Murray (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. Murray is looking iffy for Week 3. If he’s out Derrick Henry would be a fantasy RB2 against a Seattle defense that got shredded by Carlos Hyde last week.

Raiders RB Jamize Olawale (quadricep) practiced fully Wednesday.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (not injury related) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. Stewart is just getting a day of rest. He has a good matchup against the Saints.

Redskins RB Chris Thompson (back) took full practice reps again Thursday. Thompson may see a few extra touches since he’s been so efficient in the first two games.

Falcons RB Terron Ward (neck, shoulder) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps.

Raiders RB DeAndre Washington (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Lions RB Dwayne Washington (quadricep) missed practice again Thursday.

Ravens RB Terrance West (calf) missed practice again Thursday. If West is out, look for Javorius Allen to lead the Baltimore backfield in touches. Alex Collins will likely serve as his backup/change-of-pace option.

Dolphins RB Damien Williams (rib) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday.

Colts WR Kamar Aiken (hip) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Patriots WR Danny Amendola (concussion, knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday. It looks like Amendola is on track to play in Week 3. In the 8 games that Julian Edelman has missed since 2013, Amendola has averaged 5.4 catches for 54 yards and 0.12 touchdowns per game.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (knee) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday. It looks like a day of rest for Baldwin. He’s better at home, but he has a nice matchup with a shaky Tennessee secondary.

Giants WR Odell Beckham (ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday. In theory, Beckham should be able to play more snaps in Week 3 after playing 61% of the snaps on Monday night. He confirmed as much, saying that he expects to play “a lot more” in Week 3. He’s trending towards WR1 status, but is probably a fantasy WR2 until he looks more like himself.

Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Benjamin should be able to play through the knee and rib injuries. He has a great matchup with the Saints and with Greg Olsen out, he may see even more usage in Week 3.

Browns WR Kenny Britt (knee) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Cardinals WR John Brown (quadricep) missed practice Thursday. Brown looks like he’ll miss another game. J.J. Nelson should continue to capitalize.

Ravens WR Michael Campanaro (ankle) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Bills WR Kaelin Clay (foot) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps.

Browns WR Sammie Coates (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (chest) missed practice again Thursday. Cobb looks very questionable for Week 3. If he’s out, Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison get a bump.

Raiders WR Amari Cooper (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Cooper should be fine to face Washington.

Titans WR Corey Davis (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. Davis has been ruled out for Week 3. Consider it a bump for Eric Decker, Rishard Matthews and Taywan Taylor, though the matchup (vs. Seattle) is not very good.
