Asked if a call from Tom Brady would change his mind, Gronkowski said he’d take the call, but “I wouldn’t go back to football, no.” Regardless of what Gronkowski says, Drew Rosenhaus’ statement that it wouldn’t surprise him if Gronk returned to the NFL continues to point to the idea that nobody in the NFL really believes he’s done. Gronkowski did seem fairly adamant that this was it for him, but it will remain an open question until he’s on the couch in the playoffs.

The deal includes $46.5 million guaranteed. The Bears traded Dexter to Atlanta after an offseason of unproductive contract discussions. A new deal was always the most likely outcome when the Falcons acquired him. Dexter only has .5 sacks through three weeks, but he ranks second among defensive linemen in pressures at 14. Pro Football Focus has him charted with the highest pass-rush win rate among defensive linemen. Dexter is now under contract through the 2030 season.

This puts Love on track to play in Week 4 against the Chargers. Fellow Seahawks starting safety Ty Okada (hamstring) will not resume practicing today, though the unit’s overall health is heading in the right direction.

The fact that this is even being considered is good news. Rookie RB Jadarian Price has not yet carved out a featured role for himself, so Charbonnet could feasibly return to his 2025 role—or more. If available, he is probably worth stashing in 12-team leagues at this time.

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.

New York just lost Brian Burns to a season-ending ACL tear. Ward was on the team in 2022 and 2023. He played in Tennessee last year, totaling five sacks in 17 games. He will give the Giants some extra depth as they attempt to backfill Burns’s role.

Moore played through the shoulder injury last week and managed to bring down 6-of-10 targets for 67 yards. He led the team in every notable receiving category. Even if he isn’t at full strength, Moore is locked in as a WR2 for Week 4 versus New England.

Benford missed the second half of Week 3’s win over the Chargers with the toe injury. He was spotted in a boot after the game. A DNP today puts him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 4. That should make Buffalo an easier matchup for Drake Maye, but fantasy managers might have already thrown in the towel on Maye, and rightfully so.

This does not necessarily mean Gordon will play in Week 4 against the Jets, but he is certainly getting closer to making his 2026 debut. The Bears’ pass defense has been a fantasy-friendly unit thus far. If Gordon can return to form, he could help slow down opposing slot receivers.

Coleman missed two practices last week before getting in a limited session on Friday. He still suited up and caught one of his two targets for a 37-yard gain. He will likely see a very limited number of reps in practice again this week. Coleman is not on the fantasy radar for Week 4.

The Ravens seemingly forgot about Andrews when they first posted their injury report, only noting his injury and status in a post 40 minutes after the initial run. In their defense, Andrews has been pretty forgettable this year, catching 13 passes for 122 scoreless yards. The hand injury shouldn’t be an issue this week, but he’s still stuck in the TE2 ranks versus Tennessee.
