    Jalen Coker (quad) is questionable for Week 4 against the Lions.

    After being a DNP on Wednesday, Coker logged back-to-back limited practices to close out the week. Coker played through an ankle injury in Weeks 2 and 3, and will likely play through his quad injury this week in a Sunday night matchup against the Lions. Hopefully we’ll get more clarity on his availability later in the weekend, but for now, we expect him to play. That said, managers would be wise to stash a Sunday/Monday night emergency option in the unlikely event Coker is ruled out when inactives are announced 90 minutes before kickoff.

    Coker was at little risk of missing tomorrow’s game after getting in a full practice on Tuesday. He was listed as a full participant again today before being cleared for action. Despite the quiet Week 7 showing, which saw Coker catch just one pass, fantasy managers should still treat him as a WR2 for Week 8.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    Seems there’s little doubt that Coker will play on Thursday night. He’ll likely be removed from the injury report on Wednesday. Even after last week’s fiasco he likely belongs in the WR2 ranks.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    The Panthers won’t have their first official practice until Tuesday, but Coker would have been limited on Monday had the team been on the field. Coker caught one pass for nine yards in Week 7’s loss to the Buccaneers. His struggles came on a day when the entire Panthers offense was stymied for much of the day, so hopefully he’ll be in line to bounce back against the Packers on Thursday if he is active.

    Coker was also the intended target on the first of Bryce Young’s two interceptions. The wideout fell down, leading to the miscue. It was simply a nightmarish day for the Panthers’ offense, who also watched Young cough up a fumble-six. With the Panthers trailing 33-6 at halftime and 43-6 at the 10:21 mark of the fourth, the first-team offense sat for the game’s final 10 minutes. A disaster for fantasy managers, but likely a short-lived one with the Panthers heading to Green Bay for a short-week Thursday night matchup with the Pack. Coker must still be fired up as a WR2 for that one.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    Coker missed Week 4 with a quad injury but was able to heal up over the bye week and play a full complement of snaps in Week 6. Initial reports had him playing 59 of the team’s 79 snaps and running a route on 39 of 46 dropbacks, which was second most on the team. He also led the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards. He’s a rock-solid WR2 against the Bucs next week.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    Panthers coach Dave Canales told reporters earlier this week that Coker was returning from both quad and ankle injuries, though the team is only listing the quad issue. We take this as a good sign for his overall health. Coker can be treated as a WR2 in his first game back, facing an Eagles defense that struggles to cover opposing slot receivers.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    Coker was spotted practicing on Tuesday (there will be no injury report for this one) and seems like he’s well on track to return. He’ll be a fringe WR2/WR3 against the Eagles in Week 6.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    This was though to be the most likely scenario after head coach Dave Canales told reporters Friday that the team would elevate Ja’Seem Reed if the belief was that Coker could not go on Sunday Night Football. Reed was, in fact, elevated Saturday and Coker was declared inactive. Brycen Tremaine appears to be in line for a featured role after playing 81 percent of the team’s offensive snaps a week ago. Expect John Metchie to also see additional snaps and opportunities, while David Moore could see package usage on the perimeter. Also inactive for the Panthers are TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, QB Haynes King, G Damien Lewis, OT Albert Reese, and DT Cam Jackson.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    Coker injured his quad in Week 3. He got in two limited practices this week before being listed as questionable. It doesn’t sound like a long-term injury, but the team is being cautious with a young wideout who has already suffered multiple lower-body injuries this year. With Xavier Legette on IR, Brycen Tremayne is Carolina’s WR2 for Week 4.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    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.

    Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Campbell came out of the Eagles’ Week 7 loss to the Cowboys dealing with hamstring and quad injuries. He starts out the week as an estimated DNP. Campbell will likely need to practice in some capacity in order to play Week 8 against the Commanders.

    DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Both Smith and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were estimated DNPs for the Eagles’ walkthrough. Both players missed Week 7 against the Cowboys and start off on the wrong side of questionable to open Week 8. Smith and Wicks will need to at least get a limited practice session in before they can be considered as potential fantasy options against the Commanders. With Britain Covey (knee) also DNP, the receiving corps is sparse. If neither can go, Darius Cooper and Hollywod Brown get a boost from the WR group while TE Dallas Goedert becomes the No. 1 pass-catcher in the Eagles offense.

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Barkley was predictably a non-participant after re-aggravating his hamstring injury and additionally injuring his back in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Despite the injuries, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Barkley said his hamstring “came out great” and he doesn’t believe his back will keep him out. With every other Eagles running back suffering long-term injuries, Barkley is attempting to gut out his injury issues. Given his re-aggravation last week, it is well within the range of outcomes for Barkley to see limited snaps in Week 8 against the Commanders. His motivation to play makes us think he is on track to be active on Sunday but Barkley is a risky RB2 as he deals with injuries.

    Javon Kinlaw (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Kinlaw is dealing with a knee issue. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday it will “likely be tough” for the 29-year-old defensive tackle to play Sunday. We can expect Kinlaw to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 8 against the Eagles.

    Stefon Diggs (hand/hamstring/rest) did not practice Wednesday.

    Commanders head coach Dan Quinn already said Diggs won’t practice Wednesday, so this is not a surprise. Quinn also confirmed the veteran will return to practice Thursday and the additional rest designation should stave off concerns of Diggs dealing with a long-term injury. He should be in the WR3/FLEX mix for Week 8 against the Eagles. Also not practicing for the Commanders was TE John Bates (shoulder).

    Treylon Burks (foot) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Burks was limited due to a foot injury; this is notable with the Commanders coming out of a bye week. With Terry McLaurin out for the season, Burks has the opportunity to earn an increased role in the receiving corps. Fantasy managers don’t need to roster the 26-year-old yet, but Dyami Brown and Antonio Williams could see a boost in targets if Burks sits out Week 8 against the Eagles.

    George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Pickens played through a minor shoulder injury last week, but the hamstring designation is new. He was still a limited practice participant, indicating neither injury should be an issue for his Week 8 status. Meanwhile, WR/KR KaVontae Turpin (ribs) was an estimated DNP in practice after not playing last week. The Cowboys may be missing Turpin again as a kick returner and gadget player on offense, but Pickens should still be the WR2 for Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Jalen Carter said he “probably won’t be 100-percent this year” due to a wrist injury.

    Carter has been dealing with a wrist injury since the beginning of the season, playing through it for the last seven weeks. He will continue to play through it, though the Eagles defensive tackle admits the wrist won’t be fully healed this season.

    Tennessee waived Timmy Horne in a corresponding move. Laulu appeared in five games for the Raiders this year and recorded .5 sacks plus three QB hits. He made 15 starts for the Raiders last year and appeared in all 17 games. Laulu will be a depth option for the Titans.
