Player News

The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander reports that Nico Collins (hamstring) was “optimistic” about playing in Week 4 against the Cowboys.

01 October 2026

Alexander caught up with Collins after the Texans’ star player logged his second consecutive limited practice. Collins should probably still be treated as sitting somewhere in the questionable-to-probable range, but this is great to hear. Collins is a WR1, as usual, if active.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Browns want Deshaun Watson to get KC Concepcion more involved.

01 October 2026

Concepcion ranks second on the team with 17 targets, but his chemistry with Watson remains a work in progress. The rookie wide receiver has turned a team-high 12 receptions into just 80 yards. Concepcion is FLEX-viable against the Steelers on Thursday Night Football.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Steelers are going to use Jaylen Warren “a lot” while frequently utilizing two-tight end sets in Week 4 against the Browns.

01 October 2026

It sounds like Warren is belongs on the RB1/2 border with Rico Dowdle (toe) sidelined again this week. The Steelers will try to control the line of scrimmage by frequently deploying TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington, both in the run game and as receivers.

Keaton Mitchell (ankle) was limited on Thursday.

01 October 2026

The Chargers’ speedy RB2 was seen wearing a walking boot after practice on Wednesday, but that didn’t keep him from practicing today. Mitchell scored a touchdown on a red zone carry last week and could continue rotating in against the Seahawks this week. He should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Deshaun Watson has earned more opportunities to start for the Browns.

01 October 2026

Per Fowler, sources around the league say Watson could get six total starts this year. The bar is low in Cleveland. Watson has not yet thrown for 240 yards in a game and has just five passing touchdowns this year. He is a QB2 against the Steelers tonight.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (foot) practiced in full on Thursday.

01 October 2026

Wright should be rostered in 12-team leagues. He is now on track to play in Week 4 against the Vikings and is still listed ahead of RB Ollie Gordon on the Dolphins’ depth chart. The Vikings’ defense could bottle up this running back, but things might get a tad easier in Week 5 against the Bengals.

Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was limited on Thursday.

01 October 2026

The Dolphins’ ascending rookie wide receiver is on track to face the Vikings this week, although he continues to be limited by his surgically repaired knee. Bell should be viewed as a FLEX starter with an admittedly tough matchup against the Vikings.

Saints WR Barion Brown (hamstring) was limited on Thursday.

01 October 2026

Both Brown and TE Noah Fant (abdomen) were limited today, putting them tentatively on track to play on Monday night against the Falcons. Neither player belongs in fantasy lineups, but their presence is helpful for QB Tyler Shough.

Nico Collins (hamstring) was limited on Thursday.

01 October 2026

Another limited session keeps Collins in the questionable column as he attempts to return from a multi-week hamstring strain. The Texans would surely like to have their star wide receiver back for what could be a back-and-forth game environment against the Cowboys this week, but balancing short-term and long-term needs is critical. Stay tuned.

49ers released WR KhaDarel Hodge.

01 October 2026

Hodge has been released with an injury settlement. Per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, this opens the door for him to return upon healing while also saving a possible short-term injured reserve spot.

DJ Moore (shoulder) was limited on Thursday.

01 October 2026

Moore is again on track to play through his AC joint sprain, though the injury is still limiting him to some degree. Regardless, the Bills face the Patriots this weekend, and CB1 Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) has not yet practiced this week. Moore is a WR2 entering Week 4.

Christian Benford (toe) did not practice on Thursday.

01 October 2026

The Bills’ No. 1 cornerback is on the wrong side of questionable through two Week 4 practices. Fortunately, the Patriots’ wide receiver corps is nothing to write home about.

Saints coach Kellen Moore said that “at the moment,” he does not expect WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) to begin practicing next week.

01 October 2026

Tyson is currently on injured reserve and will be eligible to join his teammates on the practice field next week. Moore added, “but we shall see” at the end of his statement, making it at least possible for Tyson to resume practicing in Week 5. For now, Week 6 could be more likely. Once activated from injured reserve, Tyson will have a 21-day window to continue rehabbing, if need be.

Aaron Donald (back) was not seen practicing on Thursday.

01 October 2026

The 35-year-old, recently unretired defensive tackle’s back is hurting. He might have a chance to play this week, but his Friday participation level should shed more light on his current state. Stay tuned.

Ladd McConkey (foot) was not seen practicing on Thursday.

01 October 2026

This is unfortunate. McConkey was limited yesterday by a new foot injury. Today’s absence suggests he suffered the injury at Wednesday’s practice. He is firmly in the questionable column at this time. Chargers WR Tre’ Harris has outplayed WR Quentin Johnston thus far, but the Seahawks’ defense is a formidable foe.

Chris Godwin (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday.

01 October 2026

Godwin should be expected to play in Week 4 against the Packers at this point, although he has mostly underperformed thus far. Buccaneers OC Zac Robinson said earlier that Godwin Jr. “is a stud and will continue to do his thing. The ball will find him.” That might be harder than one imagines with an undrafted free agent rookie at quarterback.

Saints placed Travis Etienne on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

01 October 2026

This is a tough break. The Saints’ high-priced free agent signee will be sidelined for at least four games. Their Week 8 bye makes him eligible to return in Week 9. Veteran RB Alvin Kamara is the next man up, followed by RB Kendre Miller. Both should be rostered in 12-team leagues. Kamara will likely get the first crack at the starting job, but he has struggled to play efficiently this season, and coach Kellen Moore gave RB CJ Donaldson the backfield’s first green zone touch last week.

Patriots TE Eli Raridon (thigh) was limited on Thursday.

01 October 2026

The Patriots’ rookie tight end has a chance to play this week. He is not yet involved enough to warrant TE1 treatment though.

49ers WR KhaDarel Hodge (knee) did not practice on Thursday.

01 October 2026

The 49ers’ injury pileup at wide receiver, has made Hodge mildly relevant. He is on the wrong side of questionable for the team’s Week 4 game against the Broncos, though.

Tony Pollard (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday.

01 October 2026

The full practice keeps him as a potential RB2/FLEX option against the Ravens for Week 4. Pollard dominated reps in Week 3 with Tyjae Spears active as a game-time decision. Spears looks to be a little better this week, but Pollard should be at the head of the committee still in Week 4.
