Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, which should put him on track to play in Week 5. His absence today – along with RB Dameon Pierce’s – leaves Cam Akers as Houston’s lead back again. He’ll lose passing-down snaps to RB Dare Ogunbowale but is a serviceable RB3 or Flex play with the Texans 5.5-point home favorites.
Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He was listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week. Davis would be a shaky Week 4 fantasy play.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. There was some early-week uncertainty about Kamara’s availability for this one. But he seemed to progress nicely throughout the week, getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We haven’t heard anything about Kamara’s role being reduced today.
Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. The hamstring injury he suffered in Friday’s practice was evidently minor. It still adds real risk to his Week 4 fantasy profile, though. Check your Team Intel page to see if Olave makes sense in your starting lineup.
Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. QB Justin Fields gets another start and sits 12th in the Week 4 QB Rankings.
Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He’s a little over three weeks removed from spraining his MCL and likely won’t have his usual mobility today. That could be an issue against a blitz-heavy Minnesota defense. Love sits well into QB2 territory in the Week 4 Rankings. But his return is excellent news for Green Bay's WRs and TEs.
Bucs WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. The rookie hurt a hamstring in practice on Friday and could miss multiple games. Trey Palmer will slide in as Tampa’s No. 3 WR today but isn’t a fantasy option.
Bucs RBs Rachaad White (illness) and Bucky Irving (hamstring) are active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. White dealt with food poisoning late in the week, while Irving got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. This is one of the tougher backfields to predict in Week 4 after Irving out-carried White last week. See where both guys land in the RB Rankings.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so Allen should be ready for a full slate of snaps. He led Chicago with 11 targets in the opener (although he caught just four for 29 yards).
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) is expected back "at least by early November," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. San Francisco has a Week 9 bye in the first week of November, which makes it sound like Week 10 vs. the Bucs on November 10 is McCaffrey's likeliest return date. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that CMC's rehab would start ramping up this coming week, and Rapoport hears that McCaffrey is ready to resume running on the field. We'll continue to keep a close eye on his progress.
Joe Mixon will not play against the Jaguars today. He feels good, but the Texans are giving him another week off to ensure he is fully recovered from his ankle injury. RB Cam Akers will be the starter with RB Dameon Pierce also out for another week.
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson is expected to come off the PUP list "this week or shortly thereafter," per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hockenson tore his right ACL/MCL on December 24.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Browns are expected to open the practice window for RB Nick Chubb (knee) this week. Once the team makes that move, they'll have three weeks to promote him to the active roster.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is a game-time decision for today's tilt with the Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mixon only got in a limited practice on Friday. Mixon "has worked hard to be back and even though it seems to be an uphill climb to play, he hasn't given up trying. He'll test it out," Rapoport tweeted. That sounds like Mixon is on the wrong side of 50/50 to play against Jacksonville. We still have him projected out as of now but will adjust the RB Rankings if Mixon ends up active.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is expected to play vs. the Rams today, HC Matt Eberflus said. That's seemed likely since Allen put in a full workout on Friday. There's some added risk here with Allen coming off a two-game absence. But he drew 11 targets in the opener and gets a leaky Rams secondary today. See where Allen lands in the Week 4 WR Rankings.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Falcons today. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said Saturday night that Olave would be a game-time decision, but that there was "optimism" he'd be able to play. We'll get New Orleans' inactives around 11:30 am ET. If Olave suits up, he'll be a risk/reward fantasy play after injuring a hamstring in Friday's practice.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today. It's a slight surprise after HC Kyle Shanahan said previously that Samuel was expected to miss a couple of weeks. Samuel got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, though, and will evidently suit up today. There's always some risk of an in-game aggravation of soft-tissue injuries, but unless we get a report of Samuel being limited today, he belongs in most fantasy lineups. His return -- along with TE George Kittle's -- makes Week 3 breakout Jauan Jennings tough to trust in fantasy lineups this week.
Bucs RBs Rachaad White (illness) and Bucky Irving (hamstring) are expected to play vs. the Eagles today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. "White was dealing with food poisoning and already feels better," Schefter tweeted. Irving got in just two limited practices this week but reportedly looked fine on Friday. See where both guys sit in the updated Week 4 RB Rankings.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (groin) is expected to play vs. the Bengals today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Johnson sat out on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. HC Dave Canales said afterward that Johnson "looked great." There's some added risk here with the groin, but Johnson still sits inside our top-20 WRs for Week 4.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is "planning to play" vs. the Falcons today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Kamara is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We'll get New Orleans' inactives around 11:30 am ET. An active Kamara will remain a must-start, barring any reports of a touch count for him today.
