  • SF Wide Receiver #5
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Evans is officially questionable to play. He did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but in uniform and did some running on the side in the early, open portion of Friday’s practice. The grizzled veteran tends to play through injuries. He will try to play this week while wearing a compression shirt with padding in it. Evans told reporters that he has played through a similar injury previously. If active, he carries obvious re-injury risk but warrants starting as a WR2.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #12
    He got in a full session and will escape the line. Collins doesn’t play the same amount of snaps that most of the league’s top wideouts play anyway, so even if he is managed a bit, he can be trusted as a low-end WR1 in what looks to be a smash spot against a bad Cowboys pass defense, though one that is integrating new trade acquisition Joey Porter Jr. against Collins.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    Smith didn’t practice at all this week and enters Week 5 in a precarious position. Dontayvion Wicks should take over as the team’s No. 1 receiver, and it’s possible Makai Lemon will get more involved as well as the Eagles try to stay above .500 against the Rams.
  • LA Wide Receiver #12
    Nacua will return after getting in a Friday full practice and should be a WR1 play, even against the Eagles’ vaunted secondary. McVay noted that they are still working through how they will navigate his snap count, so Davante Adams should remain near the WR1 line this week as they reintegrate Nacua. But nobody is sitting Puka Nacua in a standard league.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #18
    He didn’t practice at any point this week despite optimistic words from Kevin O’Connell and company. O’Connell said he just “couldn’t get there” this week and he will receive treatment over the weekend. The Vikings coach also noted next week — Jefferson’s return to New Orleans after a storied college career at LSU — is a “big one for him next week.” If they were going to rest him against one team, the lowly Dolphins make sense. Jordan Addison will get a bump and Jauan Jennings could be a FLEX option against Miami.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #17
    He was, grimly, a late add to the injury report on Friday with a hamstring issue. We’re sure will get more on this as the day goes on, but McLaurin-reliant managers should make sure to have a backup plan in place ahead of Sunday morning’s first European football game of the season.
  • CHI Quarterback #18
    Williams was never believed to have a real shot at playing, but the Bears officially ruled him out on Friday. Tyson Bagent has reportedly taken all of the first-team snaps in practice this week, but Ben Johnson may wait until kickoff to reveal who his starter will be on Sunday, with both Bagent and Case Keenum expected to be active. We’ll see if Williams’ status improves for Week 5’s game against the Packers.
  • CLE Defensive Tackle #94
    “The MRI revealed some good news,” per Rapoport, who added that the hope is these are not long-term injuries for the second-year lineman. While Graham does have two injuries he will need to work his way back from, it’s fair to say this is an encouraging sign after he was seen on crutches and sporting a knee brace after Week 4’s win over the Steelers. If Graham is placed on injured reserve, he would be required to miss at least the next four games. He has totaled 15 tackles, six TFLs, and four sacks thus far for the Browns in what is shaping up to be a breakout season for the former No. 5 overall pick.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    After being a DNP on Wednesday, Coker logged back-to-back limited practices to close out the week. Coker played through an ankle injury in Weeks 2 and 3, and will likely play through his quad injury this week in a Sunday night matchup against the Lions. Hopefully we’ll get more clarity on his availability later in the weekend, but for now, we expect him to play. That said, managers would be wise to stash a Sunday/Monday night emergency option in the unlikely event Coker is ruled out when inactives are announced 90 minutes before kickoff.
  • NYJ Running Back #20
    Hall was initially mentioned as being week-to-week when he was diagnosed with his quad injury, so he was never really considered a candidate to play in Week 4 despite the team waiting until the end of the week to rule him out. With Hall out, the Jets will look to Braelon Allen to handle most of the backfield duties. Allen will profile as a solid RB2 candidate with a chance for more upside in what could be a high-volume day against the Bears. In addition to Hall, the Jets also ruled out OG Dylan Parham (knee), TE Mason Taylor (thumb), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad) for Week 4.
