He added three catches for 32 yards on four targets. Ogunbowale received 21 snaps and was involved on travesties such as “Dare Ogunbowale, wildcat goal-to-go running back” that limited his offensive ceiling. The 31-year-old backup had one red-zone first down on a catch. It’s hard to say how Houston’s running back room will shake out with two injuries in front of Ogunbowale, but any running back with touches against the Raiders in Week 16 has a chance at fantasy value.

Price was able to play in Week 3 despite the chest ailment, although he was benched for most of the first half after giving up a second fumble of the season. If Price can’t go, George Holani and Emmanuel Wilson — not necessarily in that order — would be the replacements, and are likely to be involved regardless.

It’s less than ideal news for the Eagles’ every-down ‘backer with the team on a short week against the Rams. Teams seem to be getting players through the protocol faster than ever of late, but the Eagles’ six-day work week has play-making Baun firmly on the wrong side of questionable.

This is the same routine Smith followed last week before ultimately suiting up against the Bears on Monday Night Football. Perhaps the pattern changes with the Eagles on a short week against the Rams, but we would fully expect Smith to be out there as a high-end WR2 this weekend.

That leaves Goedert extremely likely to miss his second consecutive contest when the Eagles host the Rams this Sunday. Zach Ertz was Goedert’s feel-good Week 3 fill-in, but Ertz’s 38 percent snap share ended up producing one catch on two targets. With this entire offense looking rather sluggish at the moment, Ertz does not have TE2 streamer appeal.

He was eventually added to the injury report as “limited” with an ankle issue. Per Rhim, Mitchell told reporters in the locker room he was okay. Mitchell was not initially on the injury report. This obviously flared up during practice but he didn’t have it looked at until after the report was posted. We will get more clarity on the situation tomorrow. Mitchell’s role grew in Week 3 with 11 touches, but a foot or ankle injury would likely limit any further progress.

Powers-Johnson was the only Raider who missed practice because of an injury. Former third-round pick Caleb Rogers filled in for JPJ on Sunday, though he was only needed for five snaps. Rogers would presumably draw the start if Powers-Johnson can’t go.

RJ Harvey was checked for a concussion in Week 3 and is not on the injury report today, meaning both backs are good to go for Week 4. Dobbins saw 17 carries versus the Rams compared to just two for Harvey, though the latter caught six passes. Dobbins caught one pass. The rushing advantage will keep Dobbins in the RB3 mix for Week 4.

This is a low blow, even for the subsation. Hodge began the year on San Francisco’s practice squad but was promoted to the active roster when De’Zhaun Stribling went down with an ankle injury. He wound up running 45 percent of the routes in Week 3 but was not targeted once. With Mike Evans also banged up, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins could be in line for more work this week.

We’re unsure if it’s good that McConkey is no longer listed with his rib injury or bad that he’s dealing with something new. Either way, a limited session to start the week means McConkey should be available on Sunday. He was on the field for 61-of-69 snaps in Week 3 but managed just five targets. He still turned that into four grabs for 66 yards, which isn’t a bad performance given how awful the Chargers looked. Even if the offensive environment is a limiting factor for Ladd, he remains a low-end WR2 for Week 4.

Coach Sean McVay said earlier this week that Ferguson was unlikely to play against the Eagles, and this certainly puts him on the “out” trajectory. The timing could not possibly be worse, as Ferguson was finally producing a little bit, and Puka Nacua (groin) is now set to return. That makes Ferguson a shaky hold in standard-sized 12-team leagues.
