  • LV Quarterback #10
    We’ll check back in once we see how the Raiders list Garopolo on the injury report, but Thursday is a step in the right direction for Garoppolo, who missed Wednesday’s practice while working through concussion protocol. If he clears protocol in time, Garoppolo will likely suit up for Week 4 against the Chargers. If he can’t go, it will be either Brian Hoyer or Aidan O’Connell drawing the start.
  • NYG Running Back #26
    We’re a long way from knowing whether or not Barkley will play on Monday night against the Seahawks, but a limited practice to start the week is a great sign. We’ll continue to monitor his practice status throughout the week, but it’s possibly we won’t know about his Week 4 status until hours leading up to the game. Matt Breida would be in line to start if Barkley is held out another week.
  • CAR Running Back #6
    Sanders has been nursing this groin injury since training camp, but has still suited up for every game this season. Heading into last week’s matchup against the Seahawks, Sanders logged back-to-back limited practices before getting in a full session in the final day. We’d expect him to be ready to go for Week 4 against the Vikings.
  • LAC Running Back #30
    Ekeler opened the week with back-to-back practices, but his Week 4 status could still be up in the air with the Chargers heading toward their Week 5 bye week. If Ekeler is held out this weekend, Joshua Kelley would be in line for one more start. However, if Ekeler suits up, he’ll be a high-end RB1 play against the Raiders at home.
  • CAR Quarterback #9
    Young logged his second-straight full practice of the week on Thursday, and was quoted saying, “I feel great,” in regards to the ankle injury he suffered in Week 2 against the Saints. Young was sidelined for Week 3’s loss against the Seahawks, but sounds like he’s trending toward a return this weekend. Young will try to follow the 361 yard, two touchdown performance Andy Dalton put forth last week, but cant’ be trusted as anything more than a low-end QB2 after a slow start out of the gate.
  • BAL Running Back #43
    Hill missed Week 3’s matchup against the Colts with a turf toe injury, but made his return to the practice field on Thursday. We’ll see if he’s able to log another session on Friday to close out the week, but it sounds like there’s at least a chance Hill could play on Sunday against the Browns. If he does give it a go, Hill is nothing more than a fringe RB3 in a backfield chock full of replacement-level backs.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #7
    Bateman and Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) have missed both practices the open the week, potentially leaving the Ravens thin at receiver for Week 4. They have one practice to go on Friday, so we’ll see if things change then, but it’s possible the Ravens will be banking on Zay Flowers, Devin Duvernay, and Nelson Agholor as their top three receivers in Week 4.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #3
    An ankle injury once downplayed by head coach John Harbaugh how now led to five missed practices and one missed game. Beckham has one day left to log a practice before Week 4’s matchup against the Browns, but will be seriously questionable if he’s not able to get on the field — assuming he isn’t ruled out before the weekend. If he’s active against the Browns, OBJ would be hard to trust as anything more than a fringe WR3/WR4 .
  • IND Quarterback #5
    Richardson was back on the field Thursday after logging a full practice on Wednesday, and just needs to be cleared by an independent neurologist to have a chance to play in Week 4 against the Rams. Richardson getting cleared in time for Sunday’s matchup against the Rams feels like a foregone conclusion, but we’ll know the official word soon. If he’s active, Richardson will be a fringe QB1 against a Rams defense that has allowed a mere 12.6 fantasy points per game to opposing QBs through three weeks.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #17
    Waddle practiced in full on Wednesday, suggesting he was nearing the end of his time in concussion protocol. The Dolphins No. 2 receiver was sidelined for the team’s 70-20 win over the Broncos last week, but should be ready to go for a divisional showdown against the Bills in what marks one of the bigger games on the young season. Waddle will have high end WR2 upside in a game that projects to be a shootout between two of the league’s best offenses.
