Wright will kick in place of injured backup K Spencer Shrader (right hamstring). Wright was a reliable extra-point kicker for the Chiefs in 2022 but his leg became a little more erratic in the 30-to-49-yard field goal depths, averaging an 80.0 percent conversion rate. His abilities should be sufficient for K1 streaming viability. The Chiefs are likely to move the ball effortlessly against a Raiders defense missing its top two cornerbacks.

He finally got in a full session on Friday after a pair of limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Irving will be hard to trust with Jalon Daniels under center in Week 4 but the volume should still be there to get him on the low-end RB2 line.

Godwin was a full participant for two straight days after a Wednesday DNP. The insertion of Jalon Daniels makes him (well, makes every Buccaneers player) hard to trust for Week 4, but Godwin is probably still in the FLEX conversation.

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.

Kolar is fairly unlikely to play in Week 4 against the Seahawks, but returning for the Chargers’ Week 5 game against the Broncos is possible. Second-year receiving TE Oronde Gadsden was unable to seize the moment with Kolar and TE David Njoku (knee) sidelined last week, catching 0-of-3 targets. The once-promising youngster must do something on Sunday if he wishes to remain re-draft-relevant in 12-team formats.

Gordon, LB Noah Sewell (Achilles) and EDGE Shemar Stewart (knee) are all in the process of returning from the reserve/physically unable to perform list. None of them will play this week. Fill-in starting DB Cam Lewis (hip) is doubtful.

Jones is unable to play, and OT Ozzy Trapilo (knee) is not yet ready to return from his 2025 season-ending injury, so OT Theo Benedet gets the start on the left side. As far as backups go, Benedet is solid. He generally fares better as a run blocker than as a pass protector, though.

He got in three limited sessions this week. If active, Raridon would cut into Hunter Henry’s ceiling a bit.

Swift sat out on Thursday with a knee issue, but he resumed practicing on Friday. Fantasy managers should expect him to handle his normal, featured role. The Bears’ starting running back has totaled at least 19 carries and targets combined in each game this season. He is a bankable, high-end RB2.

The lanky speedster was placed on injured reserve late in August. He is not exceptionally talented, but he can contribute meaningfully to an NFL offense. Getting him back would help keep safeties honest. Stay tuned.

The Raiders will be without their star right guard for this divisional showdown. It’s an unfortunate loss. The Chiefs’ defensive tackle group is talented. Hopefully, Powers-Johnson can return in time for the Raiders’ Week 5 game against the Patriots.
