Christian Watson

GB Wide Receiver #9

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is expected to make his season debut Thursday Night.

Watson has been out with a hamstring injury he suffered prior to Week 1. In his absence, Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs have been the Packers’ leading receivers. Watson’s return will add a more vertical aspect to the offense. He will be a back-end WR2 for his expected season debut in Thursday’s Week 4 matchup against the Lions.
James Conner

ARI Running Back #6

Cardinals RB James Conner (back) logged a limited practice on Wednesday.

Conner has been the Cardinals’ workhorse back this season, handling 58 touches for the team in three games. A limited practice leaves a low cause for concern, but Conner’s situation is one to monitor as the 28-year-old’s physical playstyle and age may be catching up to him. If he can’t go in Week 4 against the 49ers, Keaontay Ingram is next up with flex upside. Otherwise, Conner can be played as an RB2.
Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

Colts QB Anthony Richardson fully participated in practice Wednesday.

Richardson has been in the league’s concussion protocol since Week 2 against the Texans. The Colts’ injury report lists the rookie as a full participant, bringing him a step closer to returning to action. If fully cleared, Richardson can be started in fantasy lineups for Week 4 against the Rams. If he remains out, Gardner Minshew will be the starter with borderline-QB2 fantasy upside.
Tre'Quan Smith

FA Wide Receiver #10

Broncos beat reporter Mike Klis reports former Saints WR Tre’Quan Smith will visit the Broncos.

Smith was released by the Saints earlier this week after being placed on injured reserve with a groin injury. Unsurprisingly, he is visiting a Broncos team coached by Sean Payton, who Smith played for from 2018-2021. If Denver signs him, Smith will join a lackluster team that needs an offensive boost, though his injury will keep him low on the fantasy radar.
Jalen Pitre

HOU Safety #5

Texans S Jalen Pitre (chest) officially returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday.

Pitre suffered a bruised lung in the Texans’ Week 1 game against the Ravens and has been out since. With CB Derek Stingley out, the Texans secondary is going to need Pitre back to boost the defense. A limited practice is good news for his Week 4 return.
Larry Ogunjobi

PIT Defensive Tackle #99

Steelers DT Larry Ogunjobi (foot) did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

Ogunjobi has been a stalwart for the Steelers’ defensive line this season. If he cannot go against the Texans in Week 4, it will be a blow to the team’s interior defensive disruption.
Allen Robinson II

PIT Wide Receiver #11

Steelers WR Allen Robinson (ankle) did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

Dealing with an ankle injury, Robinson missed the first practice of the week for the Steelers. The 30-year-old has 11 catches in three games for the struggling Pittsburgh offense. Robinson has taken on a larger role in Diontae Johnson’s absence, but it has not led to any fantasy value. Should Robinson miss Week 4 against the Texans, Calvin Austin could see a bump in targets, though he is a mere flex play in deep leagues.
Maxx Crosby

LV EDGE #98

Raiders DE Maxx Crosby was limited in Wednesday’s practice due to a knee injury.

Crosby may have tweaked his knee in Week 3 against the Steelers, but a limited practice means there is little concern yet for him to miss Week 4 against the Chargers. With two sacks in three games this season, Crosby is an anchor for the Raiders’ pass rush.
Jimmy Garoppolo

LV Quarterback #10

Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo missed Wednesday’s practice due to concussion protocol.

Garoppolo was put in concussion protocol after Sunday’s game against the Steelers. He is still moving through the protocol, causing him to miss practice and putting his status for Week 4 in doubt. If Garoppolo cannot go, it will be either veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell at QB against the Chargers.
Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Puka Nacua (oblique) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Per Sean McVay, Wednesday’s practice was a walkthrough, so Nacua’s limited tag is only an estimation of his status. He also played through the oblique injury last week, so there is nothing to worry about for now. Nacua will remain on the WR1/2 border for his Week 4 matchup with the Colts.
