Davante Adams

LV Wide Receiver #17

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the Bills and Chiefs “are all monitoring the [trade] situation and are more likely to get involved if the Raiders are willing to take on some of the money.”

Adams is owed $13.5 million for the remainder of this season. The money owed to him is what’s preventing some teams from being able to trade for him, but the Raiders can help push a deal across the line by agreeing to take on some of the remaining money on Adams’ deal. Adams is reportedly most interested in a trade to the Jets, but is willing to play for other teams, as reported by NFL Networks’ Ian Rapoport. Should the Raiders be willing to eat some of his salary to move him, that could increase their potential of landing the best deal on the market for Adams.
Davante Adams

LV Wide Receiver #17

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Davante Adams wants to play for the Jets, but is open to being traded elsewhere.

Rapoport points out that the Raiders plan to take the best offer on the table for Adams if they do trade the star receiver. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported earlier that teams around the league believe Adams is “focused on engineering” a trade do the Jets. It’s clear where Adams wants to go, but with other teams reportedly in the mix, we could see a bidding war for one of the league’s premier receivers in the coming days.
Davante Adams

LV Wide Receiver #17

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Davante Adams is not expected to play in the Raiders’ Week 5 game against the Broncos due to a hamstring injury.

Per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, teams having conversations with the Raiders about a trade for Adams “have been informed is hamstring injury is expected to keep him sidelined 1-2 weeks.” She adds that it “is a real injury” and Adams “could be back next week if there are no snags.” After some speculation that Adams and/or the Raiders may be fabricating an injury while attempting to trade the star receiver, it’s no surprise to see the team put any of those questions to rest.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

Mike Evans (knee/calf) has been removed from the Buccaneers’ injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Falcons.

Evans was listed as limited in Tuesday and Wednesday’s practices but doesn’t carry an injury status ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Falcons. Evans is coming off his best outing of the season, in which he caught 8-of-14 targets for 94 yards and a touchdown. He should be treated as a WR2 in tomorrow’s matchup.
Jaylen Warren

PIT Running Back #30

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Warren seemingly tweaked his knee in Week 3 and was pulled from that game. He did not practice last week and was ruled out on Friday. He doesn’t look likely to suit up this week either. Fantasy managers can cut ties with Warren until he gets back to full strength, which may not happen for a while.
Evan Engram

JAX Tight End #17

Evan Engram (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Engram went down with the hamstring injury during pre-game warmups ahead in Week 2. This is his first time practicing since he suffered the injury. A limited session to open the week is a good sign for Engram’s availability, but he isn’t out of the woods yet. If he makes it to Sunday without any setbacks, Engram will rank as a volume-based TE1 for his matchup with the Colts.
Travis Etienne Jr.

JAX Running Back #1

Travis Etienne (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Etienne suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of the Jags’ loss to the Texans and was listed as questionable to return. He missed a few snaps but was back on the field rather quickly. A limited session to open the week suggests he will have no issues suiting up for Week 5. With Tank Bigsby looking better and taking more work by the week, Etienne is dangerously close to falling out of the RB2 ranks.
Jonathan Taylor

IND Running Back #28

Jonathan Taylor (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Taylor suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Colts’ Week 4 win over the Steelers. His absence from practice isn’t a surprise and he is likely to miss multiple weeks with the ankle injury. Trey Sermon is the next man up for Indy. He should get the bulk of the carries with Tyler Goodson pitching in on passing downs. Sermon should be added in all formats and will rank as a high-risk RB3 once Taylor is ruled out.
Jaelan Phillips

MIA Linebacker #15

Dolphins EDGE Jaelan Phillips (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

Phillips relayed the news via an Instagram post. He did not get into specific details on the nature of the injury but did say he will undergo reconstructive surgery on his knee. It’s the second year in a row that has ended with an injury for Phillips. He suffered a torn Achilles late in the 2023 season. This is yet another blow to a Miami roster that has already lost multiple players to long-term injuries.
Joe Mixon

HOU Running Back #28

Joe Mixon (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Mixon made a push to play last week and head coach DeMeco Ryans called him “day to day” on Monday. He still has a chance to return to practice and suit up for Week 5, but another week of Cam Akers as the starter is still on the table. Akers ran 13 times for 53 yards in Week 4 but didn’t catch a pass or find the end zone. He would be a low-end RB3 for Week 5 if Mixon can’t suit up and Dameon Pierce remains out.
