Johnston got in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday, so it was surprising to see him sent straight to “not playing.” Tre’ Harris figures to step in as Los Angeles’ top outside receiver by snaps this week and is a worthwhile FLEX play, even against a formidable Broncos defense.09 October 2026
Okonkwo got in a full practice on Friday after consecutive limited sessions. With Stefon Diggs (hamstring) out, Terry McLaurin (hamstring) questionable and Jayden Daniels (elbow) returning, Okonkwo could warrant top-12 positional treatment this week.09 October 2026
He resumed practicing on Wednesday, was downgraded on Thursday, and was ruled out on Friday. There’s a Chargers short story somewhere in there. Thompson hasn’t played since Week 2. Non-dynasty leaguers don’t have to care about this.09 October 2026
We do not yet know Charbonnet’s Friday participation level, but he remained limited for the first two practices. The Seahawks are smartly bringing him along slowly despite mounting injuries at the position. He should be stashed in 12-team leagues, and could return to a sizable workload when healthy.

Kolar has missed a few weeks with a broken forearm after having surgery on it; he appears close to returning. The Chargers are perhaps wondering, looking at their offensive line, if he can play tackle.09 October 2026
Assuming Bo Nix is actually willing to throw at his wideouts over the middle this week, Los Angeles’ lack of defensive back depth looks tempting for Nix in a rebound spot.09 October 2026
He popped up on the injury report on Friday, never a great sign. McDonald has a 68.4 PFF pass rush grade on 69 pass rushes and the Jets would lose something on defense without him.09 October 2026
He did fully practice today — it feels like this is trending in the right direction, but it’s hard to know without detailed reporting of where he is in the protocol how likely he is to sit. We’re sure there will be many more report on Chase over the next 24-36 hours. He enters the weekend a true question mark.09 October 2026
Mariota’s absence leaves QB3 Athan Kaliakmanis as the team’s top backup behind Jayden Daniels, who is returning from his Week 2 elbow dislocation. Mariota does not need to be rostered in 12-team superflex leagues.09 October 2026
Young went limited-full-limited in three practices this week. The Bengals may be elevating a wideout or two off the practice squad. The Friday downgrade isn’t a great sign for the 2026 fourth-rounder.09 October 2026
Wright was limited on Thursday and Friday after seemingly reinjuring his foot. He feels like a true wild card for Sunday. Ollie Gordon-reliant managers would be delighted if Wright was ruled out, as it appears Kaytron Allen, who was just claimed on waivers today, would be the backup if Wright can’t go.09 October 2026
McLaurin could end up playing here, but he would be a risk for an in-game aggravation. The Commanders’ No. 1 wide receiver was sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to a limited session on Friday. Hopefully, weekend reports on the injury shed light on things. If active, he is a WR2 if active.09 October 2026
Amos has not yet played in 2026, and appears to be truly questionable this week. The Commanders need all the help they can get on defense, but holding him out another week could be the smart move for his long-term health.09 October 2026
Douglas has not practiced or played since Week 2. If only there were some sort of “injured reserve list” he could be placed on. Ah well.09 October 2026
He only got in a limited session today, but apparently that was all the Eagles needed to see. He’ll still be a tough start against Jacksonville in what is projected to be a low-scoring game as Philadelphia’s passing offense looks to rebound from last week’s rough showing.09 October 2026
Goedert got in a full session on Friday and is cleared. With DeVonta Smith down, he has some TE1 potential against the Jaguars on volume. He’s always been one of Jalen Hurts’ favorite red zone targets, and Saquon Barkley being down may lead the Eagles to throw more once the field condenses.09 October 2026
Kendall will leave the center position to practice squad C Jake Majors, who will join Willie Lampkin as Cam Jurgens’ replacement at guard. Just two players who have never started in the NFL before. What could go wrong?09 October 2026
He did not practice at any point this week, so it would be a little surprising if he gave it a go. At the very least, we have to imagine he’s on the pessimistic side of questionable. The Eagles also ruled out S Marcus Epps with a groin injury.09 October 2026
Hurts popped up with a calf injury on Friday, but practiced in full and seems to be expected to play. Tanner McKee, now the only game in town after Andy Dalton’s release, would take over if necessary on Sunday. It doesn’t sound like anything to be overly worried about at this point, though.09 October 2026
Flowers got in three limited sessions while dealing with the foot injury. He loses ceiling with Tyler Huntley under center, but remains a rock solid low-end WR1 in terms of how much volume he amasses in this passing attack.
