September 2016 4for4 Player News Articles

Titans TE Delanie Walker (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 4. Walker is a game-time decision. The Titans play early on Sunday.

Seahawks TE Nick Vannett (ankle, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4.

Jaguars TE Julius Thomas (elbow, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. This is a new injury for Thomas, but he seemingly played through it last week, so we expect him to suit up in London. However, Gus Bradley said that he’s a game-time decision. Set those alarm clocks.

Buccaneers TE Luke Stocker (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (not injury related) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking full practice reps Thursday. ASJ might see a good amount of snaps in his first game with the Jets since Eric Decker is out.

Vikings TE MyCole Pruitt (knee) took full practice reps again Friday.

Vikings TE David Morgan (knee) missed practice again Friday.

Jaguars TE Ben Koyack (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Saints TE Josh Hill (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. Gronkowski was limited last week, but should have a bigger role this week. We won’t feel completely comfortable starting him until Tom Brady returns in Week 5.

Broncos TE Virgil Green (calf, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee, back, questionable) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday and is questionable for Week 4. The full practice indicates that Graham will be able to play against the Jets.

Chargers TE Antonio Gates (hamstring, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 4. Hunter Henry was pretty good last week, collecting five catches for 76 yards. The Saints have been tough against tight ends this year (#4 in TE aFPA), but that’s probably just statistical noise considering how bad the New Orleans defense has been this season.

Cardinals TE Darren Fells (back) took full practice reps all week.

Lions TE Eric Ebron (ankle, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. Ebron should continue to play through the ankle injury. He’s currently #6 at his position in fantasy scoring.

Browns TE Seth DeValve (knee, out) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is out for Week 4.

Bills TE Charles Clay (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 4. Clay may play, but he hasn’t been a solid fantasy option for some time.

49ers TE Garrett Celek (back, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. Vance McDonald (hip, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable. If McDonald sits and Celek plays, he’ll be a deep sleeper.

Texans TE Stephen Anderson (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. With Anderson out, Ryan Griffin is a deep sleeper this week.

Titans WR Kendall Wright (hamstring) took full practice reps all week. Wright is set to make his return this week.

Bills WR Sammy Watkins (foot, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. He’s been placed on IR and can potentially return in Week 12. He's droppable in most formats without an injured reserve slot. He's worth a stash in leagues with big benches, but the chances of Watkins coming back in Week 12 or Week 13 and being a big fantasy asset seem pretty slim. It's not out of the realm of possibility, however. In the meantime, Robert Woods seems to be the best bet for weekly PPR production in the Buffalo receiving corps. He caught six passes for 51 yards on eight targets last week, but historically hasn't shown much of a rapport with Tyrod Taylor. The loss of Watkins is a big blow to Taylor's 2016 fantasy stock, though he'll occasionally put up a big game given his explosive running ability and propensity to throw the deep ball. We wouldn't get too excited about Justin Hunter, though the change of scenery might be good for him. Once Salas gets healthy, he could be a PPR option, a la Cole Beasley.

Rams WR Nelson Spruce (knee) took full practice reps all week.

Saints WR Willie Snead (toe, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. Snead should be able to return but it’s no sure thing. Receivers with toe injuries tend to underproduce, and the Saints play late on Sunday. Plan accordingly.

49ers WR Torrey Smith (foot) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go.

Ravens WR Steve L Smith (not injury related) was removed from the injury report Friday.

Buccaneers WR Cecil Shorts (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Titans WR Tajae Sharpe (hamstring) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He was removed from the injury report, so he’ll look to get back on track this week against the Texans.

Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu (shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Sanu will play through he injury this week. He had a disappointing line against the Saints but remains the Falcons’ WR2.

Bills WR Greg Salas (groin, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 4.

Steelers WR Eli Rogers (toe, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. There’s a good chance that Wheaton will play in the slot with Antonio Brown and Sammie Coates outside. Wheaton was very effective in the slot last year. Both he and Coates are Sneaky Starts against the Chiefs.

Colts WR Donte Moncrief (shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Texans WR Braxton Miller (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Jets WR Jalin Marshall (shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Jets WR Brandon Marshall (knee, foot) took full practice reps all week. Marshall gets a bump with Eric Decker out. It’s a tough matchup, but the Jets can avoid Richard Sherman if they want.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Lockett has not been involved in the passing game, though speed receivers have had some success against the Jets this year. Don’t be surprised if he catches a long touchdown.

Lions WR Marvin Jones (hamstring, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. This is a new injury this week for Jones, who has started the season on fire. He reportedly “looked fine” on Friday, so should be good to go to face the Bears.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (calf) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He’s going to play after being removed from the injury report. He’s heading into a rough stretch of his schedule (CAR, DEN and SEA), but things get much easier in Week 7.

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. The new hamstring injury is worrisome, especially considering Jeffery’s injury history. He’s likely to play, but won’t be at 100 percent.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (knee, ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go for Sunday.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Hilton will be fine to face the Jaguars in London.

Ravens WR Devin Hester (thigh, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4.

Falcons WR Justin Hardy (shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week .

Falcons WR Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) took full practice reps again Friday.

Broncos WR Bennie Fowler (elbow) took full practice reps all week.

Cardinals WR Michael Floyd (concussion) took full practice reps again Friday. Floyd should be fine to play against the Rams.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (knee) took full practice reps all week. No worries here.

Colts WR Phillip Dorsett (ankle, questionable) was limited Friday after taking full reps earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. Midweek downgrades are worrisome. Be sure to check his status early on Sunday since the Colts play in London this week.

Redskins WR Josh Doctson (achilles, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Doctson’s Achilles injury seems to be getting worse, not better. He’s droppable in most formats.

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs (groin) took limited practice reps Friday. Diggs should be fine to play on Monday night. He’ll be shadowed by Janoris Jenkins, but should see plenty of targets.

Jets WR Eric Decker (shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Decker is out with a partially torn rotator cuff. It's not clear how long Decker will be out, but the team has called him "week to week," and the Jets don't have their bye until Week 11, so he may miss a few games. Our injury expert, Russell Manalastas (@russmanalastas) said: "Will likely be week to week, could probably get an injection to help inflammation. Likely will come down to pain, most who have partial cuff tears can function as soon as pain is resolved." Quincy Enunwa has seen 25 targets through three games and was targeted 11 times in Week 3 against the Chiefs. This is a tough matchup against the Seahawks, but as the Jets' secondary receiving option, he should be able to post a solid yardage total, especially if he's playing in the slot matched up with Seattle CB Jeremy Lane. Brandon Marshall also gets a bump due to a likely increase in usage. The Jets may deploy rookie Robby Anderson to the right side of the formation to let Marshall work on the left side, away from Richard Sherman. Don’t be surprised if we see the recently-signed Austin Seferian-Jenkins too.

Rams WR Pharoh Cooper (shoulder) took full practice reps all week.

Browns WR Corey Coleman (hand, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (knee, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 4. There was an early report that seemed to come from Bryant where it sounded like he wasn’t going to play, and now he’s listed as questionable. This sure seems like the Cowboys playing games with the injury report. We don’t expect him to play. Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley, Jason Witten and Brice Butler get a bump. Beasley and Witten's role will be largely unchanged, though they may see more targets, while most of Bryant's downfield targets would go to Williams and Butler. In the seven games since 2013 that Dez has missed, Williams has averaged 3.6 catches for 67 yards and 0.29 touchdowns, but he has burned many a fantasy bridge over the years. Butler showed a nice rapport with Dak Prescott in the preseason, but is only a desperation dart throw.

Rams WR Kenny Britt (thigh, questionable) was limited Friday after taking full reps earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. Britt should be able to play, but this is one of those cases where the new injury reporting rules make it more difficult to know if a player is going to play. Would Britt be probable under the old rules? We don’t know. The game is late and, since joining the Rams, Britt has averaged just 34 yards (and hasn’t found the end zone) in four games against Arizona.

Rams WR Tavon Austin (shoulder, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. The full practice means that Austin should be able to play against the Cardinals.

Ravens WR Kamar Aiken (thigh, questionable) took full practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 4.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Stewart is expected to miss Week 4 and possibly another three games, per Ron Rivera. Cameron Artis-Payne should continue to lead the backfield. He saw 48% of the running back touches last week, gaining a respectable 58 total yards against a very good Minnesota defense. This week, he faces the Falcons, who are #27 in RB aFPA.

Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (fibula, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Christine Michael will get another start, but the matchup against the Jets is tough.

Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (wrist, questionable) took full practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4.

Steelers RB Roosevelt Nix (back, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 4.

Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon (toe) took full practice reps again Friday. McKinnon will be fine to lead the Minnesota backfield on Monday night.

Buccaneers RB Doug Martin (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Martin will miss another week or two. Charles Sims is a Sneaky Start against the Broncos, who are allowing 4.7 YPC on the season.

Vikings RB Zach Line (knee) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice Thursday.

Bears RB Jeremy Langford (ankle, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 4. Jordan Howard is shaping up as a very Sneaky Start against a banged up Lions defense.

Raiders RB Taiwan Jones (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 4.

Browns RB Malcolm Johnson (neck) took full practice reps Friday.

Giants RB Rashad Jennings (thumb) took limited practice reps again Friday. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported on Thursday that Jennings is unlikely to play. Orleans Darkwa figures to serve as the lead back with Jennings out. Bobby Rainey and Paul Perkins will also be involved.

Jaguars RB Chris Ivory (ankle, knee) took full practice reps again Friday. These are new injuries for the oft-injured Ivory, though it looks like he’ll be able to play through his various ailments.

Texans RB Jonathan Grimes (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Colts RB Frank Gore (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. Gore is good to go.

Falcons RB Devonta Freeman (illness) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. He was removed from the injury report so he’s expected to play.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Forte was removed from the injury report. He’ll be fine for a tough matchup against Seattle.

Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon (knee, doubtful) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is doubtful for Week 4. Dixon is apparently targeting a Week 5 return. The Baltimore running game has been poor, and the feeling is that Dixon will be given every chance to win the RB1 job upon his return.

Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Crowell is averaging 16 touches and 102 total yards per game, so his matchup with Washington (#31 in RB aFPA) is pretty attractive.

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman (ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Coleman played through the injury so we expect he’ll be out there against the Panthers.

Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4. According to Adam Schefter, Charles will play on Sunday night. Charcandrick West (ankle, out) is out, so the team may elect to let Charles knock the rust off as Spencer Ware’s backup. We don’t see this as a big downgrade for Ware.

Bears RB KaDeem Carey (hamstring, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 4.

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (knee, ankle) took full practice reps all week. Pete Carroll said that he “would be surprised” if Wilson didn’t play this week, and Wilson said he has “no doubt” that he’ll play. He’s receiving round-the-clock treatment this week but still has to travel to New York for the game. Seattle will probably have to throw in this one since the Jets have a very good rush defense. The Seahawks play early on Sunday.

Falcons QB Matt Ryan (left thumb) took full practice reps all week. Ryan will be fine to face the Panthers.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. Dak Prescott will start again and is streamable even without Dez Bryant in the lineup.

Jets QB Bryce Petty (right shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Browns QB Josh McCown (left shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder) took limited practice reps Friday. Luck is a high-end QB1 against the Jaguars.

Browns QB Cody Kessler (thigh) took full practice reps all week.

Bills QB Cardale Jones (right shoulder, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 4.

Bears QB Jay Cutler (right thumb, doubtful) missed practice again Friday and is doubtful for Week 4. We’re expecting Brian Hoyer to start in Week 4. He’s a Sneaky Start in a good matchup against a banged up Lions defense.

Patriots QBs Jimmy Garoppolo (right shoulder, questionable) and Jacoby Brissett (right thumb, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and are questionable for Week 4. According to Mike Giardi, Garoppolo is “making good strides” and the “arrow is pointing in the right direction.” Giardi added that Garoppolo’s “range of motion has improved significantly” and he has “no issues at all on follow through.” It looks like Garoppolo will be under center on Sunday but no guarantees at this point.

Titans TE Delanie Walker (hamstring) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Walker is expected to make his return in Week 4.

Seahawks TE Nick Vannett (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Jaguars TE Julius Thomas (elbow) missed practice again Thursday. This is a new injury for Thomas, but he seemingly played through it last week, so we expect him to suit up in London. However, Gus Bradley said that he’s a game-time decision.

Buccaneers TE Luke Stocker (ankle) missed practice again Thursday.

Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Vikings TE MyCole Pruitt (knee) took full practice reps Thursday.

Vikings TE David Morgan (knee) missed practice Thursday.

49ers TE Vance McDonald (hip) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Consider McDonald iffy for Week 4. Garrett Celek likely sees the most targets at tight end if McDonald is out.

Jaguars TE Ben Koyack (knee) missed practice again Thursday.

Saints TE Josh Hill (ankle) missed practice again Thursday.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Gronkowski was limited last week, but should have a bigger role this week. We won’t feel completely comfortable starting him until Tom Brady returns in Week 5.

Broncos TE Virgil Green (calf) missed practice again Thursday. It looks like Green will miss another week.

Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. The Seahawks are just managing his reps. Graham was a full-time player in Week 3 and is rounding back into shape. He’s in the low-end TE1 conversation.

Chargers TE Antonio Gates (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. Apparently, Gates wasn’t close to playing in Week 3, so he’s likely to miss Week 4 as well. Hunter Henry was pretty good last week, collecting five catches for 76 yards. The Saints have been tough against tight ends this year (#4 in TE aFPA), but that’s probably just statistical noise considering how bad the New Orleans defense has been this season.

Cardinals TE Darren Fells (back) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Lions TE Eric Ebron (ankle) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Ebron should continue to play through the ankle injury. He’s currently #6 at his position in fantasy scoring.

Browns TE Seth DeValve (knee) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps.

Bills TE Charles Clay (knee) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice.

49ers TE Garrett Celek (back) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Celek should play, but the injury throws some cold water on his status as a Sneaky Start (assuming Vance McDonald is out).

Texans TE Stephen Anderson (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Titans WR Kendall Wright (hamstring) took full practice reps again Thursday. It looks like Wright is finally going to return to the lineup this week.

Bills WR Sammy Watkins (foot) missed practice again Thursday. Consider Watkins very questionable for Week 4. He’s expected to test his foot this week.

Rams WR Nelson Spruce (knee) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Saints WR Willie Snead (toe) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Snead should be able to return but it’s no sure thing. Receivers with toe injuries tend to underproduce, and the Saints play late on Sunday. Plan accordingly.

49ers WR Torrey Smith (foot) took full practice reps again Thursday. Smith should be fine to face the Cowboys and is always a threat for a big play.

Ravens WR Steve L Smith (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday. Smith is just getting a day off.

Buccaneers WR Cecil Shorts (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Titans WR Tajae Sharpe (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Sharpe should be able to play through the injury.

Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu (shoulder) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Sanu should be able to play through he injury this week. He had a disappointing line against the Saints but remains the Falcons’ WR2.

Bills WR Greg Salas (groin) missed practice Thursday after taking limited reps Wednesday.

Steelers WR Eli Rogers (toe) missed practice again Thursday. Rogers has a case of turf toe, and if he misses, there’s a good chance that Wheaton will play in the slot with Antonio Brown and Sammie Coates outside. Wheaton was very effective in the slot last year.

Colts WR Donte Moncrief (shoulder) missed practice again Thursday. He’s out for a few more weeks.

Texans WR Braxton Miller (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Jets WR Jalin Marshall (shoulder) missed practice again Thursday.

Jets WR Brandon Marshall (knee, foot) took full practice reps again Thursday. Marshall played through the injury last week and should be able to do so again. He will be targeted heavily if Eric Decker can’t play.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Lockett should continue to play through the injury.

Lions WR Marvin Jones (hamstring) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps. This is a new injury for Jones, who has started the season on fire. We’ll see how much he’s able to participate on Friday.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (calf) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Jones should be able to play in Week 4. He’s heading into a rough stretch of his schedule (CAR, DEN and SEA), but things get much easier in Week 7.

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday. The new hamstring injury is worrisome, especially considering Jeffery’s injury history. He’s likely to play, but won’t be at 100 percent.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (knee, ankle) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Jackson played through the injury last week and should be able to do so again. He has a nice matchup with the Browns.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (knee) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Hilton will be fine to face the Jaguars in London.

Ravens WR Devin Hester (thigh) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Falcons WR Justin Hardy (shoulder) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps.

Falcons WR Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday.

Broncos WR Bennie Fowler (elbow) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Cardinals WR Michael Floyd (concussion) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Floyd should be fine to play against the Rams.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (knee) took full practice reps again Thursday. No worries here.

Redskins WR Josh Doctson (achilles) missed practice again Thursday. Doctson’s Achilles injury seems to be getting worse, not better. He’s droppable in most formats.

Jets WR Eric Decker (shoulder) missed practice again Thursday. Decker apparently aggravated his shoulder injury, but his availability for Week 4 is unknown. Quincy Enunwa is likely to see a bump in targets if Decker can’t play. Decker is looking very iffy.

Rams WR Pharoh Cooper (shoulder) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Browns WR Corey Coleman (hand) missed practice again Thursday. He’s out for a few more weeks. With Coleman out, Terrelle Pryor is the clear WR1 in Cleveland with Josh Gordon’s announcement that he’s entering a rehab facility.

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Bryant played through the injury in Week 3, but that doesn't mean he'll be able to go on Sunday. Dr. David Chao (@ProFootballDoc) said if the "hairline fracture in weight bearing portion of knee, will be a multi-week absence. Can't risk displacement of bone." Our own injury expert, Russell Manalastas (@russmanalastas) said, "Pretty doubtful (he plays), even if fracture isn't in weight bearing area it's unlikely they'll risk making it worse. Location of fracture is important." Ed Werder said that "typical players recover in 1-3 weeks." If the Cowboys are truly "hopeful" that he plays, then the location of the injury is probably not in a bad spot. Of course, it could be gamesmanship if they know he's out and want to force San Francisco to prepare for him. If he sits, Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley, Jason Witten and Brice Butler would get a bump. Beasley and Witten's role will be largely unchanged, though they may see more targets, while most of Bryant's downfield targets would go to Williams and Butler. In the seven games since 2013 that Dez has missed, Williams has averaged 3.6 catches for 67 yards and 0.29 touchdowns, but he has burned many a fantasy bridge over the years.

Rams WR Tavon Austin (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Austin should be able to play against the Cardinals.

Ravens WR Kamar Aiken (thigh) did not practice Wednesday.

Chiefs RB Charcandrick West (ankle) missed practice again Thursday. West only played 15 snaps last week, and the ankle injury may have something to do with it. If he’s limited again, look for Spencer Ware to have a big workload against the Steelers, who are #28 in RB aFPA.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. Stewart is expected to miss Week 4 and possibly another three games, per Ron Rivera. Cameron Artis-Payne should continue to lead the backfield in carries. He saw 48% of the running back touches, gaining a respectable 58 total yards against a very good Minnesota defense. This week, he faces the Falcons, who are #27 in RB aFPA. This is speculation, but Cam Newton is dealing with a foot injury, so the Panthers may be more inclined to hand the ball to CAP around the goal line.

Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (fibula) did not practice Wednesday. Christine Michael will get another start, but the matchup against the Jets is tough.

Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (wrist) practiced fully Wednesday.

Steelers RB Roosevelt Nix (back) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon (toe) took full practice reps Thursday. McKinnon will be fine to lead the Minnesota backfield on Monday night.

Buccaneers RB Doug Martin (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. Martin will miss another week or two. Charles Sims is a Sneaky Start against the Broncos, who are allowing 4.7 YPC on the season.

Vikings RB Zach Line (knee) missed practice Thursday.

Bears RB Jeremy Langford (ankle) missed practice again Thursday. Jordan Howard is shaping up as a very Sneaky Start against a banged up Lions defense.

Raiders RB Taiwan Jones (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Giants RB Rashad Jennings (thumb) took limited practice reps Thursday. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported on Thursday that Jennings is unlikely to play, but they’re going to re-evaluate the thumb on Friday. Orleans Darkwa figures to serve as the lead back with Jennings out. Bobby Rainey and Paul Perkins will also be involved.

Jaguars RB Chris Ivory (ankle, knee) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. These are new injuries for the oft-injured Ivory, though it looks like he’ll be able to play through his various ailments.

Texans RB Jonathan Grimes (ankle) missed practice again Thursday.

Colts RB Frank Gore (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Falcons RB Devonta Freeman (illness) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. A midweek illness is no big deal. Check back on Friday.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Forte played through the knee injury last week, but let this serve as a reminder that he’s no spring chicken and that Bilal Powell is a very capable backup.

Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Dixon is apparently targeting a Week 5 return. The Baltimore running game has been poor, and the feeling is that Dixon will be given every chance to win the RB1 job.

Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (knee) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Crowell is averaging 16 touches and 102 total yards per game, so his matchup with Washington (#31 in RB aFPA) is pretty attractive.

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman (ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Coleman played through the injury so we expect this is just a maintenance day for the young back.

Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Until we hear otherwise, we’re assuming Charles is sitting out another week. Charcandrick West is banged up, so the team may elect to let Charles knock the rust off as Spencer Ware’s backup.

Bears RB KaDeem Carey (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. With Carey (and Jeremy Langford) likely out, Jordan Howard will lead the Chicago backfield against the Lions.

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (knee, ankle) practiced fully Wednesday. Pete Carroll said that he “would be surprised” if Wilson didn’t play this week, and Wilson said he has “no doubt” that he’ll play. He’s receiving round-the-clock treatment this week but still has to travel to New York for the game. Seattle will probably have to throw in this one since the Jets have a very good rush defense. The Seahawks play early on Sunday.

Falcons QB Matt Ryan (left thumb) took full practice reps again Thursday. Ryan should be fine to face the Panthers.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) missed practice again Thursday. Dak Prescott will continue to start.

Jets QB Bryce Petty (right shoulder) missed practice again Thursday.

Browns QB Josh McCown (left shoulder) missed practice again Thursday. Cody Kessler is expected to start again this week.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. No worries here.

Browns QB Cody Kessler (thigh) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Bills QB Cardale Jones (right shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo (right shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. If Garoppolo can go, he should be the starter though he’s reportedly still in pain. Consider him iffy for Week 4.

Bears QB Jay Cutler (right thumb) missed practice Thursday after taking limited reps Wednesday. We’re expecting Brian Hoyer to start in Week 4. He’s a Sneaky Start against a banged up Lions defense.

Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett (right thumb) took limited practice reps again Thursday. It looks like he should be available to play, but may not start if Jimmy Garoppolo makes his return.

Bengals K Mike Nugent (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.

Titans TE Delanie Walker (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Walker is expected to make his return in Week 4.

Jaguars TE Julius Thomas (elbow) did not practice Wednesday. This is a new injury for Thomas, but he seemingly played through it last week, so we expect him to suit up in London.

Buccaneers TE Luke Stocker (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Dolphins TE Dion Sims (ankle, questionable) practiced fully Wednesday. If he can play, he’ll likely start with Jordan Cameron in the concussion protocol.

Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday.

49ers TE Vance McDonald (hip) did not practice Wednesday. Consider McDonald iffy for Week 4. Garrett Celek likely sees the most targets at tight end if McDonald is out.

Jaguars TE Ben Koyack (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Saints TE Josh Hill (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Gronkowski was limited last week, but should have a bigger role this week. We won’t feel completely comfortable starting him until Tom Brady returns in Week 5.

Broncos TE Virgil Green (calf) did not practice Wednesday. It looks like Green will miss another week.

Chargers TE Antonio Gates (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Apparently, Gates wasn’t close to playing in Week 3, so he’s likely to miss Week 4 as well. Hunter Henry was pretty good last week, collecting five catches for 76 yards. The Saints have been tough against tight ends this year (#4 in TE aFPA), but that’s probably just statistical noise considering how bad the New Orleans defense has been this season.

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (ankle, doubtful) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Lions TE Eric Ebron (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Ebron should continue to play through the ankle injury. He’s currently #6 at his position in fantasy scoring.

Bills TE Charles Clay (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

49ers TE Garrett Celek (back) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Celek is likely to lead the 49er tight ends in targets with Vance McDonald likely sidelined.

Dolphins TE Jordan Cameron (concussion, out) did not practice Wednesday. Dion Sims looks like a Sneaky Start for desperate owners.

Texans TE Stephen Anderson (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Titans WR Kendall Wright (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday.

Bengals WR James Wright (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Bills WR Sammy Watkins (foot) did not practice Wednesday. Consider Watkins very questionable for Week 4. He’s expected to test his foot this week.

Saints WR Willie Snead (toe) took limited practice reps Wednesday. It’s a good sign that Snead is practicing this early in the week. It means he should be out there on Sunday.

49ers WR Torrey Smith (foot) practiced fully Wednesday. Smith should be fine to face the Cowboys. It’s a much better matchup than last week.

Buccaneers WR Cecil Shorts (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Titans WR Tajae Sharpe (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. We’ll keep an eye on the rookie’s injury, but he should be able to play if he’s practicing this early in the week.

Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. Sanu should be able to play through he injury this week. He had a disappointing line against the Saints but remains the Falcons’ WR2.

Bills WR Greg Salas (groin) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Steelers WR Eli Rogers (toe) did not practice Wednesday. Rogers has a case of turf toe, and if he misses, there’s a good chance that Wheaton will play in the slot with Antonio Brown and Sammie Coates outside. Wheaton was very effective in the slot last year.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (hamstring, questionable) practiced fully Wednesday. Parker is producing now that he’s (mostly) healthy.

Colts WR Donte Moncrief (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. He’s out for a few more weeks.

Texans WR Braxton Miller (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Jets WR Jalin Marshall (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Jets WR Brandon Marshall (knee, foot) practiced fully Wednesday. Marshall played through the injury last week and should be able to do so again.

Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry (shoulder, questionable) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Landry should be fine to play on Thursday night.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (calf) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Jones should be able to play in Week 4. He’s heading into a rough stretch of his schedule (CAR, DEN and SEA), but things get much easier in Week 7.

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Jeffery should continue to play through the injury.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (knee, ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Jackson played through the injury last week and should be able to do so again. He has a nice matchup with the Browns.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Hilton produced on Sunday so we’re expecting him to play again this week.

Falcons WR Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Broncos WR Bennie Fowler (elbow) practiced fully Wednesday.

Redskins WR Josh Doctson (achilles) did not practice Wednesday. Doctson’s Achilles injury seems to be getting worse, not better. He’s droppable in most formats.

Jets WR Eric Decker (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. Decker apparently aggravated his shoulder injury and will have an MRI to determine the severity. Quincy Enunwa is likely to see a bump in targets if Decker can’t play.

Browns WR Corey Coleman (hand) did not practice Wednesday. He’ll be out for several weeks. Terrelle Pryor picked up the slack last week.

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Bryant played through the injury in Week 3, but that doesn't mean he'll be able to go on Sunday. Dr. David Chao (@ProFootballDoc) said if the "hairline fracture in weight bearing portion of knee, will be a multi-week absence. Can't risk displacement of bone." Our own injury expert, Russell Manalastas (@russmanalastas) said, "Pretty doubtful (he plays), even if fracture isn't in weight bearing area it's unlikely they'll risk making it worse. Location of fracture is important." Ed Werder said that "typical players recover in 1-3 weeks." If the Cowboys are truly "hopeful" that he plays, then the location of the injury is probably not in a bad spot. Of course, it could be gamesmanship if they know he's out and want to force San Francisco to prepare for him. If he sits, Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley, Jason Witten and Brice Butler would get a bump. Beasley and Witten's role will be largely unchanged, though they may see more targets, while most of Bryant's downfield targets would go to Williams and Butler. In the seven games since 2013 that Dez has missed, Williams has averaged 3.6 catches for 67 yards and 0.29 touchdowns, but he has burned many a fantasy bridge over the years.

Chiefs RB Charcandrick West (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. West only played 15 snaps last week, and the ankle injury may have something to do with it. If he’s limited again, look for Spencer Ware to have a big workload against the Steelers, who are #28 in RB aFPA.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Stewart is expected to miss Week 4. Cameron Artis-Payne should continue to lead the backfield. He saw 48% of the running back touches, gaining a respectable 58 total yards against a very good Minnesota defense. This week, he faces the Falcons, who are #27 in RB aFPA. This is speculation, but Cam Newton is dealing with a foot injury, so the Panthers may be more inclined to hand the ball to CAP around the goal line.

Steelers RB Roosevelt Nix (back) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Buccaneers RB Doug Martin (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Martin will miss another week or two. Charles Sims is a Sneaky Start against the Broncos, who are allowing 4.7 YPC on the season.

Jaguars RB Chris Ivory (ankle, knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. These are new injuries for the oft-injured Ivory, though it looks like he’ll be able to play through his various ailments.

Texans RB Jonathan Grimes (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Colts RB Frank Gore (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday. It’s a day of rest for the veteran.

Dolphins RB Arian Foster (hamstring, out) did not practice Wednesday. The Dolphins will likely continue with their three-headed RBBC.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Forte played through the knee injury last week and is likely just getting a day off. Let this serve as a reminder that he’s no spring chicken and that Bilal Powell is a very capable backup.

Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Crowell is averaging 16 touches and 102 total yards per game, so his matchup with Washington (#31 in RB aFPA) is pretty attractive.

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Coleman played through the injury so we expect this is just a maintenance day for the young back.

Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Bears RB KaDeem Carey (hamstring) and Jeremy Langford (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. It looks like Jordan Howard will start with both Carey and Langford out. He’s a Sneaky Start in what could be a sizable workload against the Lions.

Falcons QB Matt Ryan (left thumb) practiced fully Wednesday. No worries here.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) did not practice Wednesday.

Jets QB Bryce Petty (right shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Browns QB Josh McCown (left shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Luck will continue to play through the injury.

Browns QB Cody Kessler (thigh) practiced fully Wednesday.

Bills QB Cardale Jones (right shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo (right shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Garoppolo is reportedly still in pain and doesn’t have a full range of motion, so he’s very iffy for Week 4.

Bears QB Jay Cutler (right thumb) took limited practice reps Wednesday. We’re expecting Brian Hoyer to start in Week 4, though Cutler certainly has a chance to make his return. The Bears play early on Sunday.

Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett (right thumb) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Brissett may end up getting another start this week.

The Detroit Lions announced today that they have re-signed WR Aaron Dobson. Contract terms were not disclosed.

Last Sunday, Bills RB Reggie Bush was active and healthy but never entered the Bills' 33-18 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Instead, the Bills turned to Mike Gillislee and rookie fifth-round pick Jonathan Williams to take a total of six carries behind LeSean McCoy.

Bush's disappearance from the offense is a development that would seemingly put the veteran's job in jeopardy when the Bills must clear two 53-man roster spots when defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson return from four-game substance-abuse suspensions next week.

Raiders fullback Marcel Reece, whose suspension for using performance enhancing drugs just ended, paid an even stiffer penalty Monday: The club released him.

Reece, 30, was in his ninth season with the team. He is a former team captain and a four-time Pro Bowl selection.

The Cleveland Browns have signed K Cody Parkey. To make room on the roster, the team placed K Patrick Murray (knee) on injured reserve.

Browns K Patrick Murray (left knee, questionable) was limited Friday after taking full reps earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3.

Lions TE Cole Wick (shoulder) took full practice reps all week.

Titans TE Delanie Walker (hamstring, questionable) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is questionable for Week 3. Walker hasn’t practiced his week, which doesn’t bode well. But he finished the game last week, so he may be able to play through the injury. The Titans play early on Sunday, but owners should have a Plan B ready to go.

Seahawks TE Nick Vannett (ankle, doubtful) missed practice again Thursday and is doubtful for Week 3.

Bengals TE C.J. Uzomah (ribs) took full practice reps again Friday.

Browns TE Randall Telfer (neck) took full practice reps again Friday.

Titans TE Phillip Supernaw (back) took full practice reps again Friday.

Buccaneers TE Luke Stocker (ankle, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 3.

Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph (groin) took full practice reps again Friday. He was removed from the injury report, so he should be able to play through the injury. He saw eight targets from Sam Bradford in Bradford’s first start.

Vikings TE MyCole Pruitt (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3.

Jaguars TE Ben Koyack (knee, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 3.

Saints TE Josh Hill (ankle) missed practice again Friday.

Broncos TE Jeff Heuerman (ankle) took full practice reps all week.

Broncos TE Virgil Green (calf, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. There are no standout options behind Green on the depth chart. TE streamers should look elsewhere.

Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Graham should continue to play as he recovers from knee surgery.

Chargers TE Antonio Gates (hamstring, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 3. Hunter Henry will get the start and can “do it all” per HC Mike McCoy. Rookie TEs generally do not become solid fantasy starters, but Henry is in a great spot. As a senior at Arkansas, he won the John Mackey award as the nation’s top tight end.

Eagles TE Zach Ertz (rib, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Trey Burton is clearly a streaming option after his nice production on Monday night.

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (ankle, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 3. Eifert won’t return this week, but he’s getting close.

Lions TE Eric Ebron (back, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3. Ebron should be fine to face the Packers.

Bills TE Charles Clay (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3. If Clay can play, he could see a few extra targets since Sammy Watkins is likely to sit out.

Titans WR Kendall Wright (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3.

Bengals WR James Wright (knee) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday.

Chargers WR Tyrell Williams (shoulder) took full practice reps all week. After posting 132 yards in the first two games, Williams will be a Sneaky Start against the Colts.

Steelers WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder) took full practice reps all week. Wheaton was removed from the injury report, so he’s going to make his 2016 debut this week. His role remains to be seen, but he was playing ahead of Sammie Coates prior to the injury.

Bills WR Sammy Watkins (foot, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 3. HC Rex Ryan said that the chances are “not real good” that Watkins will be able to play in Week 3. Even if he does play, it’s difficult to trust a player who was last seen hobbling around the field against the Jets. Apparently, Watkins’ foot was stepped on during the team’s walkthrough. (Really.) The Bills will likely turn to Marquise Goodwin and Robert Woods to replace Watkins, though Greg Salas will also be heavily involved.

Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas (hip) took full practice reps all week. Thomas was productive against the Colts, so he should be fine to face the Bengals. It’ll be a tougher matchup, however.

Rams WR Nelson Spruce (knee, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 3.

Saints WR Willie Snead (toe) missed practice again Friday. Snead has a toe injury, so we’ll see how he does on Saturday. The Saints don’t play until Monday night. If he’s out, Michael Thomas is the best bet to pick up the slack.

Buccaneers WR Cecil Shorts (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3.

Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu (ankle) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. The return to practice is a good sign for Sanu. He should be fine for Monday night and is a Sneaky Start against a shaky Saints defense.

Bills WR Greg Salas (groin, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3.

Jaguars WR Allen Robinson (illness) took full practice reps again Friday. Robinson will be fine to face the Ravens. After a couple of tough matchups, his value is at a 10-month low.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3. Parker is expected to play through the injury after cracking the 100-yard mark last week.

Cardinals WR J.J. Nelson (shoulder) took full practice reps all week.

Colts WR Donte Moncrief (shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Moncrief is out 4-6 weeks with a broken shoulder blade, so Phillip Dorsett slides into the WR2 role for the Colts. He posted 4-94 in Week 1 against Detroit, and may even see a few extra targets come his way while T.Y. Hilton deals with shutdown corner Jason Verrett.

Jets WR Brandon Marshall (foot, knee, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3. Marshall is more iffy than Eric Decker for Week 3, though the limited practice is encouraging. Quincy Enunwa is a Sneaky Start this week even if Marshall plays. If Marshall is out, we’ll be bumping both Decker and Enunwa up in the rankings. Unfortunately, the Jets play in the late round of games on Sunday. Enunwa (ribs) took full practice reps all week.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee, questionable) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday and is questionable for Week 3. Lockett is expected to play in Week 3, per HC Pete Carroll.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (calf) missed practice again Friday. Jones is expected to play through the injury, though we’ll be watching Saturday’s practice report closely. He has a great matchup with the Saints on Monday night.

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (knee, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice Thursday and is questionable for Week 3. The midweek downgrade is worrisome, and HC John Fox is well-known for divulging as little as possible to the press in an effort to trick his opponent that week. The return to a limited practice doesn’t tell us much and, complicating matters, the Bears play on Sunday night. Owners who want to wait on Jeffery should get a Plan B in place. Mohamed Sanu, Michael Thomas, Eddie Royal, Cole Beasley and Terrance Williams all play at the same time or later than the Bears.

Packers WR Jeff Janis (hand) took full practice reps all week.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (knee, ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Jackson isn’t on the final injury report, which means he’s going to play on Sunday. These injuries explain why the normally productive Jackson had a quiet (3-40) game against Dallas.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (knee, questionable) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is questionable for Week 3. Hilton had a knee issue last week and played through it. HC Chuck Pagano said that “he’s going to be fine.” He’ll face shutdown corner Jason Verrett on Sunday, though Verrett doesn’t usually travel to cover the slot, where Hilton runs most of his routes. If the Colts play a lot of two-TE, then that will push Hilton to the outside, where he’ll have to deal with Verrett.

Falcons WR Justin Hardy (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Friday.

Bengals WR A.J. Green (not injury related) was removed from the injury report Friday. Green is ready to play in a tough matchup against the Broncos.

Broncos WR Bennie Fowler (elbow, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Fitz just keeps producing. He’s been the best fantasy receiver in Arizona, and it isn’t close.

Redskins WR Josh Doctson (achilles, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3.

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs (groin) missed practice Friday. Diggs isn’t on the injury report, so he’s going to play against the Panthers.

Jets WR Eric Decker (shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Decker was removed from the injury report, so he’s good to go for Week 3 versus the Chiefs.

Rams WR Pharoh Cooper (shoulder, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 3.

Browns WR Corey Coleman (hand, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 3. Coleman will miss 4-6 weeks with a broken hand. Terrelle Pryor is the best bet for fantasy points among the Cleveland receivers.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (knee) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Baldwin was removed from the injury report so he’s going to play.

Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams (not injury related) was removed from the injury report Friday. No worries here.

Colts RB Robert Turbin (not injury related) missed practice Friday.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Stewart is going to miss this week, maybe longer. When he was sidelined for a three-game stretch late in the season, Cameron Artis-Payne turned 38 total touches into 210 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 4.60 YPC during that span and even though he’s been inactive the first two weeks (thanks to not having a role on special teams), he’ll most likely step into a lead back role with Stewart out for Week 3. Ron Rivera basically confirmed this earlier in the week by calling Fozzy Whittaker a change of pace back. Whittaker had a nice Week 2 and will be involved in the game plan.

Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (shin, doubtful) missed practice again Thursday and is doubtful for Week 3. Rawls was “on track to play” per HC Pete Carroll, but now he’ll be a game-time decision. His role is up in the air after he was outplayed by Christine Michael in Week 2. Michael looks like a nice start against the 49ers.

Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (wrist, questionable) took full practice reps again Thursday and is questionable for Week 3.

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. With Peterson out for the year, Jerick McKinnon is expected to start and see the most touches, though Matt Asiata will be heavily involved, especially around the goal line. McKinnon (toe) took full practice reps all week.

Steelers RB Roosevelt Nix (back, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 3.

Buccaneers RB Doug Martin (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Martin is expected to miss the next three weeks with a hamstring injury, so Sims should step into a 15- to 18-touch role as the team’s primary back. The Rams have been so-so against the run this year, yielding three rushing touchdowns to the 49ers in Week 1.

Vikings RB Zach Line (neck) took full practice reps all week.

Raiders RB Taiwan Jones (knee, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 3.

Redskins RB Matt Jones (shoulder) took full practice reps all week. Jones looked better in Week 2, though the Giants seem to be much improved on the defensive side of the ball. For what it’s worth, HC Jay Gruden said that he wants to run the ball more in the red zone.

Giants RB Rashad Jennings (thumb, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 3. Jennings is expected to play through the injury in Week 3. He’s only an RB3 option after not producing as expected against the Saints.

Jaguars RB Chris Ivory (not injury related - illness, questionable) took full practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 3. Ivory may be able to return this week after taking a couple of weeks off to deal with an undisclosed illness. His return would put a big dent into T.J. Yeldon’s workload.

Colts RB Frank Gore (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. Gore is good to go for a pretty nice matchup with the Chargers.

Dolphins RB Arian Foster (groin, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. HC Adam Gase hasn’t settled on a starter, though Jay Ajayi is the best bet.

Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) took full practice reps again Friday. Forte is a weekly top 10 running back given his huge workload.

Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Consider Dixon a sneaky long-term stash with none of the Baltimore running backs doing much fantasy-wise through two weeks. Dixon could return soon.
