That timeline makes it possible he’ll be sent to injured reserve before Week 5’s Thursday Night Football game against the Cowboys. Winfield missed only five snaps in Tampa’s loss to the Packers; this would appear to open a pretty deep hole.05 October 2026
It sounds like this is overall good news for the Broncos, but their defense will take a major short-term hit without one of the best corners in the league. The Broncos, who also lost Riley Moss to a rib injury against the 49ers, will probably have to change some things up next week against the Chargers.05 October 2026
The Commanders were forced to go to rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis after Mariota went down in yesterday’s game. Mariota sprained the MCL in the same knee during the preseason, and it would be surprising if Mariota was cleared in time for Week 5’s game against the Giants. If he’s unable to play, Kaliakmanis could make his first career start if Jayden Daniels (elbows) isn’t ready to return. Daniels traveled with the team to London for last week’s game and was limited in all th ...05 October 2026
He’ll undergo surgery. Jackson had a 59.4 PFF blocking grade as a rookie and had raised that to 61 in his sophomore season. 2025 UDFA Joe Huber took over at guard for Jackson in last week’s win over the Dolphins and will presumably start going forward.

“Miss me yet?” — Odell Beckham Jr. Berrios is mostly a special-teamer at this point so this move doesn’t create much fantasy movement for the Giants, who have distributed almost all of their targets to Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely anyway.05 October 2026
Just months after Mixon reportedly told teammates his career was over, the 30-year-old back is now set to work out for the Seahawks. With rookie Jadarian Price (chest) on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet still working his way back from an Achilles injury, the Seahawks could have room to add Mixon, who last took a regular-season snap in Week 18 of the 2024 season. If Mixon does sign with the Seahawks, it’s hard to imagine him making an immediate fantasy impact. Emanuel Wilson totaled 25 opp ...05 October 2026
It’s a brutal blow as the Packers lose one of their best defenders for the rest of the season. The third-year linebacker had an interception and 30 combined tackles in the first four games of the season. Cooper will enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2027 looking to prove he is healthy so he can get a huge contract.05 October 2026
Dell has missed the mandatory four games on injured reserve, but may be a week-to-week proposition at this point. None of the Texans secondary receivers have really hit the bar of fantasy interesting — partially because none of them gets full playing time — and we’d be skeptical that Dell would hit that either early in his return. But he could grow into a bigger role as the season plays out.05 October 2026
We assumed this was where things were heading after Bagent turned in a solid outing in his first start against the Jets. Bagent has been the QB2 on the Bears’ depth chart throughout the season and only missed Week 3’s start against the Eagles because he spent most of the week in the league’s concussion protocol. Bagent threw for 268 yards and one interception in Sunday’s win over the Jets and will have some appeal in 2QB/Superflex leagues, especially with the Chiefs and Panthers both on ...05 October 2026

It’s hard to imagine things getting much worse for the 0-4 Chargers, but losing Slater for any amount of time will be bad news for a line that’s already struggling. Slater will undergo an MRI to confirm the severity of his injury, but he’s likely to miss a handful of weeks while recovering from his latest injury. Logan Taylor is listed behind Slater on the team’s unofficial depth chart and will presumably draw the start in Week 5 against the Broncos.05 October 2026
Vrabel said he’ll have more information on Hollins shortly, but added that Hollins may miss a few days of practice. Hollins exited Week 4’s game against the Bills with a non-contact injury, leaving the field with a 3-53-0 line on four targerts. Hollins has seen 13 targets over the last two weeks while running the third-most routes (45) of any receiver. We’ll likely know more about the severity of his injury soon, but he could be at risk of missing Week 5’s game against the Raiders.05 October 2026
Murphy-Bunting has been on the Buccaneers’ practice squad but will now join the Steelers’ 53-man roster. The 29-year-old corner missed all of last season with a torn ACL but has started 65 of the 82 games he appeared in over his career while notching 11 interceptions. The addition of Murphy-Bunting could provide an upgrade to a defense that recently lost Joey Porter Jr. after trading him to the Cowboys.05 October 2026
Bryant was carted from the field in the second half of Sunday’s game after taking a big hit over the middle. The 23-year-old receiver currently ranks third among Broncos receivers with 91 routes run and has played 55 percent of his snaps out wide. Troy Franklin or Marvin Mims could be in line to see more snaps while Bryant is sidelined, but it’s hard to imagine either player becoming valuable fantasy assets at this time.05 October 2026
London will undergo additional testing to confirm, but we’ll go ahead and assume the second-year receiver/return man is done for this season. Lane’s leg got twisted up under his body while he was returning a kick and he had to be carted from the field after the play. Lane has 18 career receptions for 250 scoreless yards but returned two punts for touchdowns as a rookie last season and has returned 12 kicks for 295 yards this season. Luke McCaffrey, who has been a healthy scratch for most of ...05 October 2026
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Rosenhaus will begin negotiating a deal for Hill with multiple teams. Among these teams is the Chiefs, who lost both Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Tyquan Thornton (ankle) in Week 4’s win over the Raiders. It was reported on Sunday night that the Chiefs have been in contact with Hill about a potential return. Now, it’s safe to say the Chiefs have a real need at the position that Hill could fill should the two reunite. It’s hard to know how soon Hill can co ...05 October 2026
This would be very good news for Juszczyk, as the injury appeared far worse in real time. According to Rap, the team believes Juszczyk’s ACL is believed to be intact, but he will undergo an MRI to confirm. The veteran fullback is still likely looking at a multi-week absence, which could impact Christian McCaffrey’s effectiveness in the running game, but it sounds like he avoided the worst here.05 October 2026

The Saints’ offense has managed just fine without Tyson, but it doesn’t sound like it will get a boost from the rookie first-rounder any time soon. According to Schefter, Tyson is “making progress and feeling good,” but the earliest we may see him is Week 7. That said, due to the Saints playing Week 7 in Paris, Schefter also notes that “the most logical” return date for Tyson could be Week 9 after the team’s bye week. Fantasy managers stashing Tyson will need to continue doing so ...05 October 2026
In the first week without Jadarian Price, Holani operated as a lightly used backup behind Emanuel Wilson, who rushed for 21-81-1, and added another 3-39-1 through the air on four targets. Any hope that Holani could see an increased workload sans Price needs to be put on hold for now. He can be left on fantasy benches in Week 5 when the Seahawks host the 49ers.
