Daboll said RB Devin Singletary (groin) won’t practice again. Sounds like Dru Phillips (calf) and Adoree’ Jackson (calf) will be limited today.

Related Players: Tyrone Tracy, Eric Gray, Dante Miller

It's anyone's guess what the pecking order would be in this backfield without Singletary, but Tracy could be in for some extra receiving usage regardless, with Malik Nabers trending toward missing Week 5. The offense might look like a mess this week, but Tracy might end up being an interesting Flex play during the first round of Byes.

I asked Colts RB Jonathan Taylor if he’ll practice today (didn’t answer but later said “no”) and what will tell him he’s ready (or not) for Sunday:

“What’s today? Thursday, Friday, Saturday — so we got 48, really 72, but really 48 hours, so continuing to take it day by day. …”

Related Players: Trey Sermon

In a follow up question Taylor mentioned that this ankle injury "isn't as bad as 2022", but that just means he doesn't expect to hit IR. Tomorrow's injury report will tell us a lot, but it's not trending in the right direction. Consider Sermon a fringe RB2/3 if JT ends up sitting out Week 5.

While Malik Nabers (concussion) seems like a longshot to be ready for Seattle, RB Devin Singletary (groin) told me he has a chance. Wednesday was the best he’s felt since the Cowboys game.

Big couple days of practice upcoming to see if he can make it for Sunday.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt

This would be a brutal loss to the offense in what has been a fantastic rookie season for Nabers. The whole offense would essentially be a stay-away, though Robinson should continue to be targeted in PPR leagues.

Raiders WR Davante Adams is not expected to play Sunday vs. the Broncos due to his hamstring injury, per league sources.

Related Players: Brock Bowers, Tre Tucker, Jakobi Meyers

There's a very real chance we've seen Adams play his last snap as a Las Vegas Raider, which leaves their receiver corps as one of the worst in the league if they don't get anyone back in a potential trade.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (hamstring) is off the injury report and good to go Thursday night vs. Tampa Bay.

Related Players: Tyler Allgeier

Good news after Robinson missed two "expected" practices earlier in the week. If Robinson is good to go, he's good to go in your lineup but it's worthwhile to point out that Allgeier has logged a little more work on the ground (24 carries last three games) than we would have expected, so if Robinson is limited at all he could cede more rushes than usual.

Vikings will open T.J. Hockenson’s PUP practice window on FRIDAY, per Kevin O’Connell. He’ll travel with the team to London and have his first practice there. Doesn’t seem to be a chance he will play vs. Jets but the process has begun.

Related Players: Josh Oliver

Hockenson is a fantastic stash anywhere he's not already rostered as he begins his return to an incredible Vikings passing attack. He will be a locked-in TE1 whenever he is able to return.

Browns players who returned to practice: Nick Chubb, David Njoku, Nyheim Hines, Pierre Strong Jr., Michael Dunn

Related Players: Jordan Akins

Akins performed well enough during Njoku's absence but not enough to get him on to fantasy radars. If Njoku plays in Week 5, he should re-take his spot in the lower-end TE1 range.

Gannon:

Trey McBride will be back at practice.

No Darius Robinson this week for practice.

Related Players: Elijah Higgins

If McBride's ready to go, he needs to be in lineups, having accrued 14-122-0 on 20 targets through three games. Higgins can readily be dropped back into waiver wires.

The Cowboys will be without WR Brandin Cooks for at least this week vs. Pittsburgh and potentially longer after an infection developed in his right knee following a procedure he had after remaining in NY following the win against the Giants, according to multiple sources.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy, KaVontae Turpin

Cooks looked as if he were set up to get a ton of work in this pass-heavy option, but it never came to fruition, as he turned 19 targets into a 9-91-1 stat line. The aging speed merchant might not return to his role if either of the Jalens can step up, and is now a drop candidate who we can aim for later in the year if he does happen to regain the de facto WR2 role.

For this week, consider Tolbert a deep Flex play, while CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson should be started everywhere.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is not practicing today due to his ankle injury.

Related Players: Trey Sermon, Tyler Goodson

It's still early in the week, so there's no need to panic, but make sure you have Sermon on your roster where he's available. Sermon would very likely work as the RB1, but a rotation or simply a lighter workload is probably in the cards. Consider him an RB3 for fantasy purposes if Taylor is sidelined in Week 5.
