Shirley is the ideal practice squad guy. The converted defensive tackle has a lot of power in the running game, but is still learning the position. They went with the undrafted Pressley over Fui Vakapuna, a seventh-round pick.

He didn’t practice at any point this week and should be regarded as questionable for Week 4 at this time. Thompson played just 22 snaps in LA’s first two games, so his absence won’t necessarily free up more snaps for anyone else.

Rashawn Slater (groin) and Cole Strange (pectoral) were removed from the injury report on Friday. The end result of these moves will likely be Trevor Penning starting at guard. Nobody ever said life was easy for Justin Herbert.

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.

Baltimore Banner’s Jonas Shaffer maintained the beat’s skepticism of Flowers’ availability for Week 3’s game in Rio by saying it “still seems unlikely” he’ll play. At the very least, Flowers’ appearance is probably a good sign for his chance for Week 4. We’ll grab a fresh update once the Ravens drop statuses; it seems likely Flowers will not be better than questionable.

Nacua will not practice today, either. The bad news comes straight from Rams coach Sean McVay. With Nacua sidelined, WR Davante Adams must be treated as a fantasy football WR1 and TE Terrance Ferguson can be expected to operate as the team’s No. 2 pass catcher. He is a worthwhile TE1 starter.

Oliver was a surprise scratch in last week’s game against the Lions after suffering an injury in pre-game warmups. It was reported on Sunday that Oliver was day-to-day with “a chance” to play against the Chargers. After being limited in back-to-back practice to close out the week, it’s fair to assume he’ll have a chance to suit up on Sunday barring any setbacks.

Coleman didn’t practice on either Wednesday or Thursday, but made some movement on Friday by showing up to a practice even if media reporters weren’t truly sure if he was giving a lot of effort. Josh Palmer would be a reasonable FLEX play if Coleman were ruled out.

This is unsurprising based on how the week trended. Moore practiced twice in a non-contact jersey and rested on Thursday. Moore-reliant managers should be prepared to pivot on Sunday morning if need be.

The Commanders placed Amos on injured reserve at the end of camp, which will require him to miss at least the first four games of the season. Quinn said Amos’ “speed and on-field work” have been encouraging as of late, but declined to comment on when the 2025 second-rounder could return. The Commanders’ secondary has struggled through the first two weeks of the season, allowing a league-high seven touchdown passes while also ranking 25th in yards per attempt allowed. We’ll have a better sense of when Amos could be in line to return once the team opens his return window.

He did not practice at any point this week and looks to be questionable for Week 4. The Browns also listed CB Tyson Campbell (hip, ankle) and Grant Delpit (shoulder) as questionable. Browns coach Todd Monken said he’s “hopeful” Campbell and Delpit will go.
