Browns TE David Njoku is expected to practice this week, per HC Kevin Stefanskki said.

The post went on to say Njoku returned to practice last Thursday but sat out Friday before missing his third straight game. It looks like he's on track to play in Week 5, an early Sunday game at the Commanders.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans says RB Joe Mixon and WR Tank Dell will be 'day-to-day' this week.

"We'll see this week with a week of practice."

Other reports have said the Texans expect Dell to play in Week 5 while Mixon at least seems to be trending in the right direction. Mixon is dealing with an ankle injury while Dell is dealing with a chest injury. The Texans host the Bills in Week 5 in what is an earlier Sunday game.

John Harbaugh: "Mark Andrews is definitely going to have big games catching the ball."

Andrews went his second straight week without producing a catch in the Ravens offense. With Travis Henry's output in Week 4, the Ravens didn't need to pass much. However at this point, it's hard not to be concerned with the lack of fantasy output from a player who was considered among the tops at his position. Owners may want to consider any other option in their lineup at TE, other than another potential zero. Andrews should come back to form, and the Ravens will likely need him to, but at this point, you may want to actually see if first before continuing to put him in lineups.

Broncos running back Tyler Badie is back in Denver after suffering a back injury in Sunday’s win over the Jets and head coach Sean Payton offered a limited update on Badie’s status on Monday.

“We’re still evaluating him now. He’s doing better,” Payton said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. “Everyone that’s reached out, we appreciate the concerns. Fortunately, he was able to come back before the day ended.”

Badie was taken off the field on a cart while strapped on a backboard and he flew home on a commercial flight after being evaluated at a local hospital. The exact nature of the injury isn’t known, but Badie has movement in all his limbs and Payton said his condition has improved, the story went on to say.

Robert Saleh said in a press conference. “[Breece Hall] still has plenty of juice. His GPS numbers are fine. Just chalk it up to a bad day. Everyone has them and we’ll expect him to bounce back.”

Hall had four yards on 10 carries and was stuffed twice at the goal line in Week 4. Hall had 170 yards on 46 carries in the first three weeks. As the story said, Allen has shown more burst than Hall in the opening weeks of the season, but Hall has remained the lead back. If the offense continues to sputter, that’s one change the Jets will likely have to consider as they look for a way to push things in a better direction, the story suggested. If Allen is still on your wire at this point, you may want to consider picking him up.

Jerod Mayo says "Jacoby Brissett is 100% our starter, and that's how we're going to look at this going forward."

The Patriots are sitting at 1-3 on the season, and it's pretty obvious if that trend continues the Pats will have to turn the ball over to Maye. Those who follow the team indicated most of the summer that sticking Maye behind an offensive line that was expected to struggle probably wouldn't end well. At this point, Brissett has been sacked 15 times. Still, at what will likely be a more opportune time in the schedule decided by the coaching staff, Maye should get his shot this season.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, who is listed as questionable because of his chest injury, is not expected to play tonight against the Titans, per source.

Related players: De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, Jeff Wilson

The Dolphins have said they will use caution with Mostert, who looks like he will miss another week. Achane should be the team's main back but Wright and Wilson will likely factor in as well. How the game script goes against the Titans will likely dictate how much work Achane loses to Wright and Wilson. In a 28-3 loss last week, Achane had 14 touches to Wright's 2 and Wilson's 3.

Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, sources say, thought it’s believed to be a pretty mild version. Indy will get a full report tomorrow, but in the words of one source, “He’s ok.”

Related players: Trey Sermon, Tyler Goodson

There was nothing more in the post regarding a timetable but owners will want to monitor this situation, and we'll likely know more in the coming days. It's at least good news Taylor was said to be "ok" but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be ready to go in Week 5. With Anthony Richardson dealing with a hip injury, the Colts running game really took a hit in Week 4. Sermon is a must-add off the wire, especially if you're a Taylor owner. The Colts are at the Jags in an early game in Week 5 so owners will have time to adjust lineups.

WR Christian Watson suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Related players: Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Tucker Kraft

Watson will miss multiple weeks, Ian Rapoport reported Monday, per sources. He would later add that Watson could be a candidate for IR as well. While it's bad news for Watson owners, it does bring a little clarity to the position in terms of fantasy production as the Packers are loaded at WR. Reed had a 7-139-1 line and Wicks a 5-78-2 line as the Packers needed to play come-from-behind against the Vikings in Week 4. Doubs caught four balls for 39 yards. Kraft also had a big day going for 6-53-1. Wicks is most likely to be found on your waiver wire to pick up - at the very least to stash and see if his usage continues to be what it was in Week 4.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is feared to have suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Rice was going for a tackle on a runback after an interception and was hit in the knee among a group of players. It's another huge blow to the Chiefs offense as Rice was the main weapon through the first month of the season and the team already losing Hollywood Brown. Travis Kelce finally had a solid game and while he'll continue to see more targets, the Chiefs now really need someone else at receiver to step up, whether that's Xavier Worthy or Mecole Hardman or even JuJu Smith-Schuster. Rice will get an MRI but the news doesn't look good. Head coach Andy Reid even said during the game to CBS' Tracy Wolfson that the injury didn't look good.
