Jimmy Garoppolo

LV Quarterback #10

Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) is out for Week 4 against the Chargers.

Garoppolo got in two limited practices, which is usually a sign someone is going to clear protocol. Garoppolo couldn’t quite get there and now isn’t even traveling to Los Angeles. It is unclear if the Raiders are going with go-nowhere veteran Brian Hoyer or intriguing rookie Aidan O’Connell. We know what our choice would be. Hopefully we get word before lineup decisions are due Sunday morning.
Von Miller

BUF Linebacker #40

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Bills EDGE Von Miller is expected to resume practicing this week.

Miller tore his ACL on Thanksgiving last year and has been progressing well in his bid to return to game action. The first major step will be to return to the practice field, which it now appears likely to happen in the coming week. The late-season injury paired with his advanced playing age would make a Week 5 return to action truly remarkable.
Noah Fant

SEA Tight End #87

Seattle listed TE Noah Fant and TE Will Dissly questionable to play Monday against the Giants.

Dissly missed the team’s Week 3 contest while Fant has apparently been usurped by the more well-rounded Colby Parkinson in recent weeks. Expect a messy timeshare for tight end snaps when all three are healthy, with the added caveat that very little emphasis is placed on the tight end position as pass-catchers in the current state of the Seattle offense.
Kyler Murray

ARI Quarterback #1

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is not expected to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list when first eligible Monday.

It was always a long shot for Kyler to return when first eligible after just four missed games, but this new non-timeline doesn’t add much in the way of clarity to the situation. Expect Murray to return at some point this season, but the “when” is still very much up in the air. That said, it has been apparent that the recently paid franchise quarterback has been progressing well in his rehab process.
Joey Bosa

LAC Linebacker #97

Chargers downgraded EDGE Joey Bosa (hamstring/toe) to doubtful for Week 4 against the Raiders.

It now appears as if the Chargers will be without safety Derwin James (out), running back Austin Ekeler (doubtful), wide receiver Mike Williams (injured reserve), and Joey Bosa (doubtful) for Week 4 against the Raiders. Although the fourth contest in a grueling season can hardly be considered a must-win game, the Chargers find themselves slipping in the competitive AFC West and need a victory to keep pace with the Chiefs.
Saquon Barkley

NYG Running Back #26

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) is doubtful to play Monday against the Seahawks.

Per head coach Brian Daboll, Barkley made significant progress this week in his bid to return from an ankle injury sustained in Week 2. The staff gave him the maximum amount of time to prove his health but ultimately made the decision to list him as doubtful to play in Week 4. Expect Matt Breida to once again serve as the primary back for the Giants after seeing an 82 percent snap rate but seeing just four carries and three targets against the suffocating 49ers defense in Week 3.
David Njoku

CLE Tight End #85

Browns TE David Njoku (burn) is questionable for Week 4 against the Ravens.

Njoku apparently suffered some sort of burn to his face and arm during an incident at his home Friday evening and has been added to the team’s injury report as questionable to play. There aren’t any prior cases like this to judge his potential availability but fantasy managers will want to begin exploring other options if they were relying on Njoku in Week 4.
Saquon Barkley

NYG Running Back #26

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) to practice Saturday and expected to be game-time decision Monday, per head coach Brian Daboll.

Barkley missed the Giants’ Week 3 game against the 49ers with an ankle injury and was able to return to practice this week. If he can’t play Monday, Matt Breida will be the lead back. With LT Andrew Thomas already ruled out, the Giants offensive line will likely struggle again, making life harder for either Breida or a hobbled Barkley. It is tricky waiting on Barkley’s status until Monday, but if he is active, he is a risky RB2 with a less-than-100% ankle for Week 4 against the Seahawks.
Derek Carr

NO Quarterback #4

NOF’s Nick Underhill reports game status of Saints QB Derek Carr will be a Sunday decision.

Carr wants to play despite a hurt shoulder that may hold him back for Week 4. He was believed to have suffered an AC sprain in Week 3’s loss to the Packers, but practiced Friday. If Carr can’t go, Jameis Winston will step up as the starter. Whichever Saints quarterback starts will have back-end QB2 value this week. Carr has a 50-50 shot of playing and it seems like it will come down to a Sunday gametime decision for Week 4 against the Buccaneers.
Justice Hill

BAL Running Back #43

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Ravens RB Justice Hill is expected to play against the Browns in Week 4.

Hill missed Week 3 due to a turf toe injury, but returned to practice this week. Melvin Gordon is also likely to get another call-up from the Ravens practice squad. Gus Edwards is the most trustworthy Ravens back and Hill has RB3-value, but the Baltimore backfield is a messy for fantasy.
