Rams WR Puka Nacua expected to play Sunday

Sep 30, 2026

Puka Nacua will be limited in practice today, per Sean McVay, but McVay expects him to play Sunday against Eagles

Fantasy Impact:

This is the strongest indication yet that Nacua will return after missing the last two games. His participation should still be monitored through Friday because he is returning from a soft-tissue injury, but managers can begin planning to start him if he avoids a setback. Adams remains a strong option, though his WR1 projection will likely fall once Nacua is restored to the rankings. Mumpfield and Whittington lose most of their short-term appeal, while Higbee’s target ceiling takes a hit despite the Rams’ other injuries at tight end.

Titans RBs Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears miss Wednesday practice

Jim Wyatt

Tony Pollard did not practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, while Spears Tyjae remained sidelined with an ankle injury.

Related Players: Nicholas Singleton, Julius Chestnut

Fantasy Impact:

A Wednesday absence alone does not put either veteran’s availability in serious doubt, especially after both followed similar practice schedules last week. Their simultaneous absences are still worth monitoring ahead of Sunday’s game in Baltimore. Singleton and Chestnut would become deeper-league considerations if one of Tennessee’s top two backs cannot play, but neither warrants a lineup spot yet.

Seahawks could open RB Zach Charbonnet’s practice window Thursday

Brian Nemhauser

2 hours ago

It is still undecided whether Zach Charbonnet will have his practice window open this week. Could be tomorrow.

Fantasy Impact:

This is an encouraging recovery checkpoint, but fantasy managers should not assume Charbonnet will immediately return in Week 5. He is worth stashing where roster space allows and could eventually claim a meaningful role. Price remains Seattle’s best Week 4 option, while Wilson and Holani could lose work once Charbonnet is activated.

Steelers RB Rico Dowdle ruled out for Thursday night

Jarrett Bailey

4 hours ago

Dowdle has been ruled out for Thursday night’s game against Cleveland due to a toe injury.

This will be his second consecutive absence after he suffered the injury during Pittsburgh’s Week 2 loss to New England.

Related Players: Jaylen Warren, Eli Heidenreich, Travis Homer, Lew Nichols

Fantasy Impact:

Warren should remain the clear centerpiece of Pittsburgh’s backfield after handling a heavy workload during Dowdle’s first absence. He enters Thursday night as a strong RB2 with three-down involvement, while Homer and rookie Eli Heidenreich provide depth without standalone fantasy value. Pittsburgh could also elevate Lew Nichols from the practice squad, as they did in Week 3.
