Texans WR Tank Dell "unlikely" to play Week 4

Sep 26, 2024

#Texans’ Tank Dell managing pain of bruised ribs, unlikely to play against Jaguars; Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce still sidelined.

Fantasy Impact:

This could mean more snaps for veteran Robert Woods, but you would figure that more of the share would simply go to Collins and Diggs, with a little more for Schultz. Collins and Diggs are respective WR1 and WR2s for Week 4.

Commanders RB Austin Ekeler officially OUT for Week 4

Dan Quinn said RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) is OUT for Sunday’s game in Arizona.

Related Players: Brian Robinson, Jeremy McNichols

Fantasy Impact:

Hopefully this will just be one week while Ekeler works through the protocol. Robinson has to be considered a high-end RB2 while his teammate is sidelined. No need to start McNichols anywhere.

Bears WR Keenan Allen on track to return Week 4

Good news for the #Bears: Veteran WR Keenan Allen, who has missed the last couple games with a heel injury, is back at practice today on a limited basis. He's tracking to return this week if all goes well.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, DeAndre Carter

Fantasy Impact:

Allen came in and led them team in target share in Week 1, but Caleb Williams had a rough day at the office in his NFL premiere. Allen should regain that role as a low-aDOT target hog who is particularly valuable in PPR leagues as a WR3 with the upside for more.

Texans RB Joe Mixon still "week to week", Dameon Pierce expected to return

Positive development for Texans running game as Dameon Pierce is expected to return this week, per league sources, from a strained hamstring that sidelined him the past two games. #Texans starter Joe Mixon still regarded as week to week with ankle injury, per sources

Related Players: Cam Akers

Fantasy Impact:

Akers found the end zone on a receiving touchdown last week but was ineffective in all other areas of the field. After a 9-21 performance, his yards per carry are down to 3.31 and he has a fumble to his name. This is likely to be a rotation in Week 4, with plodding Pierce liable to take a little more of the action. It's a stay-away situation until Mixon returns.
