    Ladd McConkey (foot) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    We’re unsure if it’s good that McConkey is no longer listed with his rib injury or bad that he’s dealing with something new. Either way, a limited session to start the week means McConkey should be available on Sunday. He was on the field for 61-of-69 snaps in Week 3 but managed just five targets. He still turned that into four grabs for 66 yards, which isn’t a bad performance given how awful the Chargers looked. Even if the offensive environment is a limiting factor for Ladd, he remains a low-end WR2 for Week 4.

    McConkey was limited in Wednesday’s practice, didn’t practice on Thursday, and was listed as an observer despite a generous “limited” tag on Friday. Either way, not a great trend. McConkey should be treated as a true question mark. If he’s ruled out, Tre’ Harris and Quentin Johnston would get a boost, but given how the Chargers have played it’s hard to start anyone into the Seattle defense.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    Rhim shared a photo showing McConkey fully suited up in pads and a helmet, ostensibly ready for practice, but he didn’t run any routes or catch any passes with the rest of the Chargers’ wide receivers early on. We expect to see McConkey listed as a limited participant later today, but he seems to be truly questionable to play at this time. Stay tuned.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    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.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey played on 61 of the Chargers’ 69 snaps and ran a route on 37 of their 43 dropbacks, but the Chargers were unable to get him going. He did have a nice toe-tapping catch on third-and-15 to set up the Chargers deep in the Bills’ red zone, but they were unable to punch it in. Teams are going to start realizing that McConkey is the only consistent option in this Chargers offense and try to take him away. That will make him a risky WR2 in fantasy leagues until the team can figure out how to fix the kinks in their new offensive scheme.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    He practiced in full all week and will presumably be more involved than he was in Week 2, when he was on a snap count. McConkey can be started as a mid-range WR2 despite Los Angeles’ struggles so far against a Bills defense that has allowed 30 points in each of their first two games.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    That makes two full practices for the Chargers’ star wide receiver. Unless he suffers a setback, McConkey will suit up on Sunday to take on the Bills. He was on the field for 24-of-34 passing plays last week, and logged just six snaps outside of that. Hopefully, he can stay on the field for almost all of QB Justin Herbert’s dropbacks this week. McConkey should be in fantasy lineups.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey was a full participant in practice after getting in a limited practice last week and playing in Week 2 against the Raiders. The 24-year-old was limited by both the injury and the Chargers’ stagnant offense but looks to be healing enough to practice fully this week. McConkey is trending to play Week 3 against the Bills, where he will be in the low-end WR2 mix.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    Playing through a cracked rib, McConkey was largely tasked with decoy duties in this game. He ran 71 percent of the total routes but was targeted on just 14 percent of his routes. For reference, McConkey was targeted on 39 percent of his routes in Week 1. McConkey still made the most of his limited targets in this contest, converting a pair of third-and-long plays when the offense desperately needed someone to step up. He should earn more targets and run more routes in a potential shootout with the Bills in Week 3. McConkey will be in the WR2 mix for that game.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey was trending toward playing as of this morning and made it through pregame workouts without any issues. He will wear a protective jacket for this game and will likely play fewer than his normal number of snaps. Fantasy managers can move him down the WR2 ranks because of the injury, but it’s hard to pull him out of lineups entirely. Inactive for the Chargers are S Elijah Molden, CB Deane Leonard, CB Isas Waxter, OL Logan Taylor, OL Alex Harkey, and OL Trey Pipkins III.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey suffered a cracked rib in the Chargers’ Week 1 loss to the Cardinals. He logged one limited practice this week before being listed as questionable. According to Rapoport, McConkey has “improved more steadily than anticipated.” He notes that the team did not elevate a receiver from the practice squad over the weekend, indicating some optimism that McConkey will play. Fantasy managers will want to check inactives 90 minutes before kickoff, but all signs point to McConkey suiting up today. He will be a high-risk WR2.

    Panthers elevated WR Ja’Seem Reed from the practice squad.

    This is notable considering head coach Dave Canales previously said that the team would only elevated Reed if Coker couldn’t go in Week 4. Coker, listed as questionable, now appears on the worse side of the designation ahead of a Week 4 meeting with the Lions on Sunday Night Football. Fantasy managers are better off making contingent plans now considering the Panthers are the penultimate game of the week.

    Panthers placed WR Xavier Legette (knee) on injured reserve.

    Legette was already ruled out for Week 4, which marks his second straight absence. He will now be forced to miss the next four games while on injured reserve, making his absence a total of five games, at minimum. John Metchie and Brycen Tremaine will continue to operate as the WR3 in the interim.

    Seahawks placed RB Jadarian Price (chest) on injured reserve.

    Price reportedly aggravated a chest injury during the team’s Wednesday practice and will now miss the next four games, at minimum, as he tends to the injury. The backfield will be left in the hands of Emanuel Wilson and George Holani in Week 4 against the Chargers but should get reinforcements in short order with Zach Charbonnet set to resume practicing. Price’s season continues to trend poorly for fantasy managers that invested a mid-round pick in his services this summer.

    Ebukam and Deablo are the only two players listed on the Falcons’ injury report for their Week 4 divisional showdown agains the Saints on Monday Night Football. Ebukam returned to a full practice Saturday for the first time since injuring his hamstring in practice ahead of Week 3. The Falcons remain relatively healthy as they prepare to challenge the Saints for the division lead through the first month of play.

    Bears QB Tyson Bagent will start in Week 4 against the Jets, reports Dan Wiederer of the Athletic.

    Bagent came in after Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring strain in Week 2, but missed Week 3 as he was in concussion protocol with Case Keenum getting the start. With Williams still out, Bagent will be back under center against the Jets. With Ben Johnson calling plays, Bagent is a super-flex option in Week 4.

    Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is likely to miss Week 4 against the Colts, reports Commanders beat writer Ben Standig.

    McLaurin injured his hamstring at practice on Friday. While there was initially optimism he could play through the injury, McLaurin is now likely to miss the game against the Colts, according to Standig. Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams should serve as the Commanders’ top wide receivers with Marcus Mariota under center in Week 4.

    Colts WR Keenan Allen (groin) is out for Week 4 against the Commanders.

    Allen was limited in practice throughout the week and listed as questionable. Now he’s been ruled out for Week 4 against the Commanders. Josh Downs is locked in as the Colts top wide receiver this week and Tyler Warren should also see a boost in value with Allen sidelined.

    Lions S Brian Branch (Achilles) has a “really good chance” to return to practice next week, reports the Ringer’s Tom Pelissero.

    Branch is still on the PUP list after tearing his Achilles last season. Lions HC Dan Campbell said Branch was close to returning to practice on Friday, though he wouldn’t disclose when exactly the Lions will open the 21-day practice window for the 24-year-old safety. According to Pelissero, there’s a really good chance Branch returns to practice next week. He’ll undoubtedly help a Lions pass defense that has been torn to shreds in the first three weeks of the season.

    Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) could return against the Steelers in Week 6, reports the Ringer’s Tom Pelissero.

    Mayfield dislocated his thumb in Week 3’s loss against the Vikings. The 31-year-old quarterback had no ligament or tendon damage. According to Pelissero, it would be tough but not impossible for Mayfield to return in Week 5, making Week 6 against the Steelers the more likely return date. Jalon Daniels will start for the Buccaneers against the Packers in Week 4.
