He practiced all three days this week and should be a lower-end FLEX option against a tough Seahawks run defense. The good news for Mitchell is that the proof-of-concept of “the Chargers can’t run block so they should just use someone fast” worked in Week 3. He should see a reasonable amount of touches in Week 4.02 October 2026
Love returns after a one-game absence. Fellow starting S Ty Okada (hamstring) is questionable to play, though he is seemingly on the wrong side of questionable. Okada has not yet played in 2026 and may need to log consecutive full practice sessions before suiting up on game day.02 October 2026
Thompson didn’t play last week with the quad issue and may be an IR candidate over the weekend. He has one catch for 13 yards in 22 offensive snaps so far. You may cut bait in non-dynasty leagues.02 October 2026
Tracy upgraded to a full practice session, but looks to have lost most of his backup work to Najee Harris at this point. Tracy does not need to be kept in shallow leagues, but at least he’s good to play.

Thomas is on the Terron Armstead plan — very limited practice reps, zero chance of him missing the game. He only got in a limited session on Friday after a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. It does not actually seem to matter. Thomas will go.02 October 2026
Risner is one of the Bengals’ best offensive linemen, profiling as an all-around talented run blocker and pass protector. He sat out on Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in full on Friday. He seemingly has a chance to play. Having him on the field would be very helpful against the Jaguars.02 October 2026
With WR Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on injured reserve, WR Dohnte Meyers should operate as the Bengals’ No. 3 wide receiver this week. He is not reliable enough to warrant FLEX consideration in 12-team leagues, though.02 October 2026
Not ideal timing as they gear up to try to stop Kyren Williams and Blake Corum on the ground. Baun did not practice all week and his availability for Week 5 is in some question as things stand. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. will likely get extra reps next to Jihaad Campbell, though Campbell is also questionable with a knee injury.02 October 2026
He got in a full session and will escape the line. Collins doesn’t play the same amount of snaps that most of the league’s top wideouts play anyway, so even if he is managed a bit, he can be trusted as a low-end WR1 in what looks to be a smash spot against a bad Cowboys pass defense, though one that is integrating new trade acquisition Joey Porter Jr. against Collins.02 October 2026
Wright sits atop the Dolphins’ depth chart with De’Von Achane (knee) done for the year. He will likely split touches with new No. 2 running back Ollie Gordon in a very difficult matchup against the Vikings this week. Both players are worth rostering, but they are shaky FLEX starters this week.02 October 2026
He got in a full session today and was limited on Wednesday and Thursday. Ingram is the team’s best run blocker, so it would behoove them greatly for him to be active after two weeks where David Montgomery and Woody Marks were dead on arrival in the backfield.02 October 2026
He should be trusted as a low-end WR3/FLEX play against the Bengals. Meyers has cleared the injury report with this thumb listing three times in three weeks, though he was questionable in Week 2. It clearly isn’t bothering him enough to impact his play.02 October 2026
With Titans RB2 Tyjae Spears (ankle) questionable to play, Pollard could end up handling a big workload. Unfortunately, the Titans field an unproductive offense and face the Ravens this week. He can only be viewed as a moderate FLEX starter.02 October 2026
They added an “NIR/rest” to Flowers’ listing on the injury report on Friday and he had a limited session after going full on Thursday. We’re not going to believe this is serious news without one of the league’s sourced men or women saying it is. Flowers profiles as a WR1 against the lowly Titans.02 October 2026
Spears played through the injury last week. This week, he went DNP, LP and FP, so he is seemingly on track to play. Regardless, he is a low-floor, touchdown-dependent FLEX against the Ravens this week.02 October 2026
As noted yesterday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport believes Jackson’s reps in practice going forward will be managed at his behest, so don’t get too startled on Wednesday if he’s limited again. Jackson is an obvious overall QB1 candidate in Week 4 against the Titans.02 October 2026
The old NFC Central rivalry will not be renewed by rookie EDGE player Bain, who has now missed two weeks in a row and does not yet look close to returning.02 October 2026
He did get in another limited session today, his third in a row, which would suggest he has a strong chance of playing. Sadiq will get a rankings boost with Breece Hall, Adonai Mitchell, and Mason Taylor all ruled out. He’s a fringe TE1, but one with an extremely high ceiling after last week’s 7/105/1 line.02 October 2026
The veteran safety should be good to go for the Jets against the Bears in Week 4. Fitzpatrick wound up missing two weeks with a mild groin injury.02 October 2026
Bowers was not on the injury report Wednesday and Thursday. The Raiders limited him on Friday. Last week, he logged two limited sessions before sitting out on Friday. The improvement is encouraging, but it is worth mentioning that the team is still managing his reps during each week’s final practice. He should be treated as an elite TE1, as usual.
