It’ll come down to Newhouse and Austin Howard. It’s the only spot up for grabs on the Raiders’ offense after Menelik Watson left for the Broncos. Howard is rehabbing from shoulder surgery, and Newhouse inked a two-year pact in March. Newhouse was the Giants’ No. 3 tackle last season, failing to beat out RT Bobby Hart. Newhouse knows GM Reggie McKenzie from Green Bay.

He didn’t practice at any point this week with an AC sprain suffered after he had already been questionable with the knee ailment heading into Week 3. Tyler Higbee should be a reasonable TE2 option against the Eagles this week even if Parkinson is healthy; it doesn’t seem like he is.

Thompson didn’t play last week with the quad issue and may be an IR candidate over the weekend. He has one catch for 13 yards in 22 offensive snaps so far. You may cut bait in non-dynasty leagues.

Love returns after a one-game absence. Fellow starting S Ty Okada (hamstring) is questionable to play, though he is seemingly on the wrong side of questionable. Okada has not yet played in 2026 and may need to log consecutive full practice sessions before suiting up on game day.

He practiced all three days this week and should be a lower-end FLEX option against a tough Seahawks run defense. The good news for Mitchell is that the proof-of-concept of “the Chargers can’t run block so they should just use someone fast” worked in Week 3. He should see a reasonable amount of touches in Week 4.

McConkey was limited in Wednesday’s practice, didn’t practice on Thursday, and was listed as an observer Friday — we’re still waiting for the official designation. 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.

Price reportedly aggravated his chest injury on Wednesday. That is unfortunate. With Price out of the picture against the Chargers, and Zach Charbonnet (knee) still rehabbing, burly RB Emanuel Wilson and receiving specialist RB George Holani will split backfield reps. Wilson can be started as a volume-based RB2/FLEX while Holani is FLEX-viable in PPR formats.

With WR Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on injured reserve, WR Dohnte Meyers should operate as the Bengals’ No. 3 wide receiver this week. He is not reliable enough to warrant FLEX consideration in 12-team leagues, though.

Risner is one of the Bengals’ best offensive linemen, profiling as an all-around talented run blocker and pass protector. He sat out on Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in full on Friday. He seemingly has a chance to play. Having him on the field would be very helpful against the Jaguars.

Thomas is on the Terron Armstead plan — very limited practice reps, zero chance of him missing the game. He only got in a limited session on Friday after a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. It does not actually seem to matter. Thomas will go.

Tracy upgraded to a full practice session, but looks to have lost most of his backup work to Najee Harris at this point. Tracy does not need to be kept in shallow leagues, but at least he’s good to play.
