Commanders RB Rachaad White ruled out for Week 4

Oct 02, 2026

Rachaad White has been ruled out against the Colts after missing all three practices with a shoulder injury.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Kaytron Allen and recently re-signed Austin Ekeler are Washington’s remaining backfield options. Ekeler traveled with the team to London, although it is uncertain whether he will immediately be active.

Fantasy Impact:

Croskey-Merritt is the best bet to lead Washington in carries and can be treated as a low-end RB2 or flex play. Ekeler could immediately compete for passing-down work if active, preventing a completely secure workload. Allen remains a deep-league contingency option.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels ruled out for Week 4

Dan Quinn said Jayden Daniels will be OUT on Sunday. Marcus Mariota will start again.

Fantasy Impact:

Mariota remains a viable QB2 and emergency one-QB streamer against Indianapolis after accounting for three touchdowns in his first start. Daniels practicing all week keeps a Week 5 return within reach, but fantasy managers should not assume he will automatically be cleared next week.

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price downgraded to DNP Thursday

Jadarian Price did not practice Thursday because of his chest injury after opening the week as a limited participant.

Seattle’s backfield is unusually unsettled. George Holani remained limited by a rib injury, while Zach Charbonnet returned to practice but cannot play until Week 5 at the earliest.

Related Players: Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, Zach Charbonnet

Fantasy Impact:

The midweek downgrade puts Price’s Week 4 availability in legitimate doubt, although Friday’s practice will be decisive. If Price cannot play, Wilson and Holani would likely share the backfield, assuming Holani’s rib injury does not keep him out. Wilson could handle more early-down work, while Holani has been Seattle’s preferred passing-down option. Neither backup should be treated as a confident starter until the final injury report clarifies the workload.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith not expected to play in Week 4

There is not much optimism Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith will play Sunday against the Rams, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo.

Smith has been sidelined with a hamstring injury this week and the expectation is he won’t be able to go Sunday.

Related Players: Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, Marquise Brown, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy managers should plan to remove Smith from lineups. Wicks becomes Philadelphia’s most trustworthy available WR, with Lemon moving into deeper-league consideration and Cooper remaining a low-floor option. Ertz could also see additional targets if Goedert misses another game. The depleted pass-catching group lowers Hurts’ ceiling and could concentrate more of the offense around Barkley.
