Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so Allen seems likely to return for this one. He led Chicago with 11 targets in the opener (although he caught just four for 29 yards).
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. After sitting out on Thursday because of what he said were poor field conditions, Johnson returned to a limited practice on Friday. HC Dave Canales said Johnson looked "great" on Friday and is optimistic about his availability for the Bengals game. We'll get Carolina's inactives at 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is back with the team, GM John Lynch said Friday. McCaffrey recently traveled to Germany for treatment on his Achilles tendinitis. "Now, we can start the process of building back up," GM John Lynch said.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. He should have a good chance to clear protocol in time for Week 5, but we’ll track his progress next week. McBride’s absence leaves Arizona with TEs Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman. Higgins, a converted college WR, is the better bet for fantasy points. Hopefully you don’t need him in season-long lineups, but Higgins is an interesting flier in DFS tournaments.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He returned to practice this week, which should set him up for a Week 5 return. Jordan Akins gets another game as Cleveland’s lead TE this weekend. He saw just one target in Week 2 but seven last week.
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle carried 11 times for 46 yards in Thursday night's win over the Giants. Both marks led the team. Dowdle also caught his only target for a 15-yard TD, showing impressive burst to beat a couple of angles on his way to the end zone.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson caught 11 of 14 targets for 71 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Cowboys. The targets and catches were both career highs. As usual, Robinson didn't have any opportunities downfield. His longest catch went for just 11 yards. But he was a quality short-range target for QB Daniel Jones, consistently creating separation on his routes and picking up additional yards after the catch.
Giants QB Daniel Jones completed 29 of 40 passes (73%) for 281 yards (7.0 YPA) in Thursday night's loss to the Cowboys. He was decisive and accurate in the short passing game, peppering WRs Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson with 29 combined targets. Jones couldn't connect on much downfield, though, notably missing two deep throws to WR Darius Slayton and one to Nabers. Two of those could have gone for TDs with well-placed balls. Jones also struggled in the red zone, with the Giants ultimately settling for five FGs. Jones carried four times for just three yards.
Giants WR Malik Nabers suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Cowboys. It's his first documented concussion. Nabers will have 10 days to get cleared for Week 5's game against the Seahawks. We'll keep you updated on his progress. The rookie was again super busy before leaving, racking up 12 catches on 15 targets for 115 yards.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) put in a limited practice on Thursday. We're tentatively projecting him to return for Monday night's game against the Lions, but we'll keep you updated on his progress leading up to that one.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. He's reportedly dealing with a low-ankle sprain and has an extra day to get ready for Monday night's game vs. the Seahawks. But LaPorta's availability for that one remains uncertain. We'll keep you updated on his progress over the next couple of days.
Raiders WR Davante Adams was added to the injury report and limited in Thursday's practice with a hamstring. We don't have any other details at this point. We'll see what Adams does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Browns.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday -- his first since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 1. We'll see if Cleveland is getting Njoku ready to play vs. the Raiders this weekend, or eyeing a Week 5 return. Check back tomorrow for another update on Njoku's status.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) put in a limited practice on Thursday. It was his first practice since going down near the end of Week 2's loss to the Vikings. Samuel seemingly has a shot to play vs. the Patriots this weekend. We'll see how he's listed on Friday's final injury report.
Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. Both guys now look unlikely to play vs. the Bucs this weekend. If that's the case, expect an even more run-heavy offense from Philadelphia with touches funneling to RB Saquon Barkley and TE Dallas Goedert.
Texans WR Nico Collins was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a hamstring. That likely means Collins hurt the hamstring in practice today, which could put his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars in doubt. We'll update Collins' status again on Friday afternoon.
Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Texans this weekend. That'd mean another start for TE Brenton Strange, who's tallied 3-65-0 and 2-12-1 lines the past two weeks.
Bears WR Rome Odunze was added to Thursday's injury report with a hip. He was limited in practice. We don't have any other details on the rookie's injury right now. We'll see if Odunze practices on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Rams.
Falcons RB Bijan Robinson was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a shoulder. That usually means the player was injured in practice. We'll be on the lookout for more details on Robinson's status and will see how he's listed on Friday's final injury report. Tyler Allgeier would turn into a top-20 fantasy RB if Robinson misses this weekend's game vs. the Saints.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That bodes well for his chances of playing vs. the Falcons this weekend, but check back tomorrow to see how Kamara is listed on the final injury report.
