    Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was limited on Wednesday.

    Bell is coming off a career-best 4/67 stat line after having his practice reps managed last week. The Dolphins’ rookie wide receiver is on track to face the Vikings this week. He profiles as a WR4/FLEX in what is admittedly a tough matchup on paper.

    We expect to see Douglas listed with a second DNP next to his name today, putting him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 4 against the Vikings. Were he indeed to miss this week’s game, WRs Chris Bell (knee) and Malik Washington would benefit. Washington’s target volume is somewhat intriguing, but Bell looks like the far more talented player.

    With Caleb Douglas sidelined with an ankle issue, talented third-rounder Bell finally broke out after totaling just one catch for 25 yards through the Dolphins’ first two contests. The No. 94 overall pick looked big and explosive with the ball in his hands, and could have had a much bigger day had Malik Willis been able to find him on what might have been a pair of long touchdowns. Bell’s box scores figure to remain inconsistent going forward — Willis is a dual-threat quarterback with a bevy of young, unproven wideouts — but he is certainly worth taking a flier on if currently un-rostered in your 12- team league. Bell’s pre-draft profile as a size/speed menace who only fell because of his torn ACL looked 100 percent accurate against the Chiefs.

    Bell upgraded to full participation on Friday after two limited sessions. The rookie wide receiver has been bothered by fluid and soreness in his surgically repaired knee since Week 1, so the Dolphins have limited his snaps in-game. With fellow rookie WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) sidelined for Week 3, the coaching staff could draw up a couple of extra plays with Bell in mind, though he can only be viewed as a WR4.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #18
    Bell said Thursday that he expects to play, but Hafley added to that expectation when speaking with the media Friday. The rookie third-rounder has drawn just three targets this season while running 31 routes, but he could see an uptick in targets with Caleb Douglas (ankle) officially ruled out. Bell will be hard to trust as anything more than a WR4 in an offense that currently ranks 30th in total pass attempts and 24th in passing yards.

    Bell said the fluid and soreness have been bothering him since Week 1, but he has been pushing through it. The team is now limiting his practice reps so he can spend extra time working with the training staff. As far as how it impacts him, Bell said he has to spend more time warming up than he has in the past to avoid stiffness. Bell tore his ACL in November 2025. He is not yet running a full complement of routes and will likely remain on a snap count, at least in the short term.

    According to the Sun Sentinel’s David Furones, Bell mostly worked on the side and went inside before the portion of practice open to the media ended. Bell could end up being listed as a limited participant today, but he is clearly barely participating. It would not be surprising to see a DNP next to his name later today. He was limited yesterday. Bell underwent ACL reconstruction late last year. Hopefully, they are only managing soreness.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #7
    We expect Douglas to be listed as a non-participant today, just like yesterday. Douglas got his ankle rolled up on in Week 2, which is always a concerning injury. Fortunately, his foot was only planted for a moment, so he may have avoided the worst-case scenario. He was later seen wearing a boot. The prudent move is to expect Douglas to miss Week 3. Fellow Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) will either be listed as a non-participant or limited, but it sounds like it would be a very light limited, if so.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #18
    This could just be maintenance for a player who is likely still on a pitch count as he continues to put distance between himself and his 2025 torn ACL. On the other hand, Bell has not been on the injury report before today, so we’re at least a little bit concerned. With Caleb Douglas banged up, Bell would have been in line for more routes this week. That’s far less likely now.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #18
    It’s been a slow start to the season for Bell, who played on 21 of Miami’s 56 snaps and ran a route on 11 of their 30 dropbacks. That being said, many people expected Bell to start the season on the PUP list after tearing his ACL last year in college. The fact that he was healthy for Week 1 and was allegedly not on a snap count caused us to maybe get our hopes up too quickly. The 22-year-old is a talented receiver and could likely end the season as the Dolphins’ best option, but he’s going to take some time to build up to the role.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #18
    Bell was less involved than fellow third-round rookie WR Caleb Douglas, but Bell still bagged a 25-yarder on a post route via play action. He nearly snagged another pass from QB Malik Willis on the run, but a Raiders defensive back got a hand on the ball, breaking up the pass. He clearly ran as the No. 3 wide receiver in snaps, but now is the time to add him and stash him on the bench. He should not be in fantasy lineups next week against the 49ers.

    Christian Benford (toe) did not practice on Thursday.

    The Bills’ No. 1 cornerback is on the wrong side of questionable through two Week 4 practices. Fortunately, the Patriots’ wide receiver corps is nothing to write home about.

    DJ Moore (shoulder) was limited on Thursday.

    Moore is again on track to play through his AC joint sprain, though the injury is still limiting him to some degree. Regardless, the Bills face the Patriots this weekend, and CB1 Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) has not yet practiced this week. Moore is a WR2 entering Week 4.

    Ladd McConkey (foot) was not seen practicing on Thursday.

    This is unfortunate. McConkey was limited yesterday by a new foot injury. Today’s absence suggests he suffered the injury at Wednesday’s practice. He is firmly in the questionable column at this time. Chargers WR Tre’ Harris has outplayed WR Quentin Johnston thus far, but the Seahawks’ defense is a formidable foe.

    Aaron Donald (back) was not seen practicing on Thursday.

    The 35-year-old, recently unretired defensive tackle’s back is hurting. He might have a chance to play this week, but his Friday participation level should shed more light on his current state. Stay tuned.

    Saints coach Kellen Moore said that “at the moment,” he does not expect WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) to begin practicing next week.

    Tyson is currently on injured reserve and will be eligible to join his teammates on the practice field next week. Moore added, “but we shall see” at the end of his statement, making it at least possible for Tyson to resume practicing in Week 5. For now, Week 6 could be more likely. Once activated from injured reserve, Tyson will have a 21-day window to continue rehabbing, if need be.

    Patriots TE Eli Raridon (thigh) was limited on Thursday.

    The Patriots’ rookie tight end has a chance to play this week. He is not yet involved enough to warrant TE1 treatment though.

    Saints placed Travis Etienne on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

    This is a tough break. The Saints’ high-priced free agent signee will be sidelined for at least four games. Their Week 8 bye makes him eligible to return in Week 9. Veteran RB Alvin Kamara is the next man up, followed by RB Kendre Miller. Both should be rostered in 12-team leagues. Kamara will likely get the first crack at the starting job, but he has struggled to play efficiently this season, and coach Kellen Moore gave RB CJ Donaldson the backfield’s first green zone touch last week.

    Chris Godwin (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday.

    Godwin should be expected to play in Week 4 against the Packers at this point, although he has mostly underperformed thus far. Buccaneers OC Zac Robinson said earlier that Godwin Jr. “is a stud and will continue to do his thing. The ball will find him.” That might be harder than one imagines with an undrafted free agent rookie at quarterback.
  • TB Running Back #7

    Bucky Irving (glute) was limited on Thursday.

    The Buccaneers’ starting running back is on track to play, but consecutive limited sessions suggest this isn’t something that can simply be written off right now. Irving missed time in the fourth quarter last week with the injury. Earlier today, OC Zac Robinson indicated that the team would like to get RB2 Kenny Gainwell and RB3 Sean Tucker more involved. He cited game flow and poor production as the reasons for Gainwell’s minimal involvement. Neither aspect is guaranteed to change, and the game scripts have already been falling in Gainwell’s favor. Tucker’s range of outcomes might be wider. Regardless, Irving remains the starter and should play in Week 4 against the Packers.

    Zay Flowers (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday.

    It’s his first full practice since the leadup to Week 1 and paints a rosy picture for Flowers stepping in as a fantasy WR1 with no limitations on his snap count against the Titans. Flowers may clear the injury report entirely on Friday.
