| 9/29/2026 4:38:00 PM | Dowdle (toe) was present for Tuesday's practice but was a non-participant, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports. |
| After sitting out Sunday's win over the Bengals due to a right toe injury, Dowdle will go down as a non-participant on the Steelers' first two Week 4 practice report. Unless he's able to fit in some on-field work during Wednesday's session, Dowdle will likely be ruled out ahead of Thursday's game in Cleveland. Dowdle's potential absence for a second straight game would set up Jaylen Warren for another heavy workload out of the backfield, after Warren handled 20 touches in Week 3. | |

| 9/28/2026 11:48:00 PM | Keenum completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for six yards and another score in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night. He also fumbled once but recovered. |
| Keenum's final numbers underscore how effective he was running Ben Johnson's aggressive offense against a quality defense. The 38-year-old signal-caller, who got the starting nod over Tyson Bagent in Caleb Williams' (hamstring) stead, connected with seven different targets overall, facilitating multi-reception tallies for four of his pass catchers. Keenum completed an eight-yard shovel pass to Luther Burden for his first touchdown toss of the night, and he followed it up with an impressive 41-yard scoring strike to Kalif Raymond in the latter portion of the third quarter. He then closed out the scoring with a one-yard run just past the midway point of the final period, rounding out a rewarding fantasy night. Given Monday night's results, Keenum appears well in line to be under center for a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday. | |
| 9/28/2026 8:14:00 PM | Diggs caught four of seven targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks. |
| Diggs finished second on the team in targets behind fellow wideout Terry McLaurin, but he was unable to make it three straight games with a touchdown. Diggs has now recorded at least four receptions in each of his first three contests as a member of the Commanders, reeling in 13 of 22 targets for 135 yards and three scores. Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota proved to be a viable starter in Week 3 with Jayden Daniels (elbow) unavailable, so fantasy managers don't have to worry about Diggs moving forward. | |
| 9/28/2026 6:38:00 PM | Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that the Rams are "hopeful" Nacua (hip) will return to action for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. |
| Nacua has missed the past two gams due to a hip injury (on official practice reports) or what McVay alternatively has called "soreness in his groin" that's unrelated to the psoas discomfort the wide receiver dealt with in training camp. McVay relayed to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com on Friday that if Nacua doesn't play Sunday at Denver, which came to pass, he likely will be available Week 4. McVay was more subdued Monday, also telling Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times that Nacua's upcoming status is "to be determined." As a result, the will he or won't he suit up with Nacua likely will continue until close to next weekend's kickoff or even beyond that point. | |
| 9/28/2026 3:12:00 PM | Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that Etienne will have some "time lost" due to the hamstring injury he sustained in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. |
| Moore noted that a specific timeline for Etienne's return hasn't been established, making it uncertain whether or not the running back will be able to avoid a stint on injured reserve. At the very least, Etienne will be sidelined for the Saints' Week 4 game against the Falcons next Monday, which likely paves the way for Alvin Kamara to take on an expanded profile in the backfield after working in a complementary role the previous two weeks. Reserve backs Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson also should be in store for more opportunities for however long Etienne is out. | |
| 9/28/2026 11:16:00 AM | Coker has been diagnosed with a minor quadriceps strain and could be available to play in next Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Coker made an early exit from Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Browns due to the quad issue, but follow-up tests Monday appear to have revealed nothing overly significant. That being said, Coker's status for Week 4 is still up in the air, with his practice activity Wednesday through Friday likely to be the determining factor in whether he plays. Despite leaving early in Week 3 in addition to being a regular on injury reports ahead of the Panthers' last two games due to an ankle issue, Coker has gotten off to a stellar start to the season with an 18-222-2 receiving line on 22 targets. | |
| 9/28/2026 9:29:00 AM | Bagent (concussion) is expected to remain the Bears' backup quarterback for Monday's game against the Eagles, while Case Keenum starts in place of the injured Caleb Williams (hamstring), Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| The Bears' No. 2 quarterback for the first two games of the season, Bagent was initially lined up to start against the Eagles after Williams sustained a Grade 2 hamstring strain in the Week 2 loss to the Vikings. However, after emerging from the Vikings game with a concussion, Bagent missed the first two practices of Week 3, resulting in Keenum taking all the reps with the first-team offense. Bagent returned to practice Saturday as a limited participant and had his questionable designation removed Sunday upon clearing the five-step concussion protocol, but because of his minimal practice time this week, the Bears will keep him in the backup role. Keenum will thus pick up his first start since the 2023 season, but barring a strong performance against a stout Eagles defense, the Bears would presumably go with Bagent as their starter Week 4 versus the Jets in the likely event that Williams remains out. | |
| 9/28/2026 12:39:00 AM | Little hit all five of his extra-point attempts and missed a 70-yard field-goal try in Sunday's 35-6 win over the Patriots. |
| The Jaguars lined up for what would have been a record-setting field goal just before halftime, but Little missed it wide right. The kicker has failed to connect on only two attempts this season, a 54-yard field-goal try and this 70-yard attempt. The Jaguars have been offering him plenty of scoring opportunities through three games, and it's clear that the team doesn't hesitate to test Little's strong leg. | |
| 9/27/2026 9:10:00 PM | Shough completed 29 of 42 passes for 255 yards and four touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders. He added 36 rushing yards on his lone carry but also lost two fumbles. |
| The second-year QB was dynamic once again, tossing two TDs each to tight ends Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant, but protection issues in the absence of left tackle Kelvin Banks (ankle) ending up proving costly as all four of the Saints' fourth-quarter possessions ended in turnovers, causing them to squander a 27-22 lead. Shough has thrown eight touchdowns through three games but has also given the ball away six times (three INTs and three lost fumbles), and he'll try to clean up those issues in Week 4 at home against the Falcons. | |
| 9/27/2026 7:47:00 PM | Croskey-Merritt carried the ball 19 times for 36 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks. |
| The second-year back couldn't get much going against the defending Super Bowl champs, with his longest run going for just nine yards, but the 20 touches did represent a season high in volume. Croskey-Merritt remains the top early-down option in the Commanders' backfield, and through three games he's gained 142 rushing yards and a TD on 47 carries. He could find more running room in a Week 4 home tilt against the Colts. | |
| 9/27/2026 7:42:00 PM | McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and each of his three extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-27 loss to Pittsburgh. |
| McPherson's first made field goal came from 50 yards out, which was his fifth made field goal from 50-plus yards this season. He has yet to miss a kick through three regular-season games, and he'll continue to operate with a higher scoring floor than most kickers for as long as the Bengals' offense under Joe Burrow continues to move the ball. Up next is a Week 4 home tilt against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 4. | |
| 9/27/2026 6:32:00 PM | Hampton rushed 15 times for 56 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Bills on Sunday. |
| The Chargers' No. 1 back got seven more carries than change-of-pace option Keaton Mitchell, but he was able to outpace the latter by only four yards. It was a disappointing downturn for Hampton, who'd broken out with 94 rushing yards and a touchdown while adding a 2-21-0 receiving line against the Raiders in Week 2. The Chargers are now alarmingly 0-3 heading into a daunting Week 4 road matchup against the Seahawks, but Hampton figures to remain in a clear-cut lead role for that contest. | |
| 9/27/2026 5:42:00 PM | Higgins brought in six of seven targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. |
| Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase turned in signature performances in the high-scoring loss, and the former finished as the runner-up in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the day to his talented teammate. Higgins' first score of the season came on a difficult and contested 28-yard grab late in the first half, knotting the score at 17-17 going into halftime. Through three games, Higgins is on pace for a potential third career 1,000-yard season, as he's quickly amassed a 14-244-1 line on 23 targets. | |
| 9/27/2026 3:17:00 PM | Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Raiders on Sunday. |
| For a third consecutive week, Wilson will be the Saints' emergency QB3, meaning he cannot play Sunday unless both Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. | |
| 9/25/2026 4:50:00 PM | Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Charbonnet (knee) returning to practice next week is potentially "on the table," Corbin Smith of SI.com reports. |
| Charbonnet sits on the reserve/PUP list due to the left ACL tear he suffered in the divisional round on Jan. 17, meaning he must miss at least the first four games of the season. However, new rules for players on reserve/PUP allow players to practice as soon as Week 3 with the potential to return Week 5. If Charbonnet gets back on the practice field during Week 4 prep, he conceivably could return to action the next week, though the Seahawks likely will take a cautious approach considering the severity of the aforementioned injury. | |
| 9/24/2026 11:51:00 PM | Golden brought in five of 12 targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday. |
| Golden set the pace for the Packers in both receiving yards and targets with totals that also qualified as or tied new single-game career highs. The second-year wideout has hit the ground running this season, quickly generating a 15-253-1 line on 30 targets while showing clearly improved chemistry with Jordan Love. The speedster also added his first touchdown catch of the campaign on an impressive 15-yard grab in the fourth quarter where Golden had to reach behind him to reel in the ball, and he'll remain a coveted option in all fantasy formats in a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4. | |
| 9/24/2026 10:24:00 PM | Dean (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday. |
| The inside linebacker was limited to open the practice week Wednesday. Now that he's back, Dean should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Saints. He has recorded 15 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles through two contests. | |
| 9/24/2026 10:22:00 PM | James (finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. |
| James broke his pinky finger during the Chargers' Week 2 loss to the Raiders, but the veteran safety was on the field for Thursday's session with a cast on, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. James is track to play in Sunday's road game against the Bills, though it's unclear whether he will don the cast for that contest. He's logged 17 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defense through the first two games of the 2026 regular season. | |
| 9/22/2026 9:27:00 PM | Sherwood posted six tackles (three solo) and a pass defense during the Jets' 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday. |
| Sherwood was working through a minor knee issue during Week 2 prep, but he managed to play every single defensive snap during Sunday's OT loss and finished tied with Dane Belton for the most tackles on the Jets. Sherwood is up to 10 total tackles through two games, and he's currently behind pace to reach the 100-tackle mark for a third consecutive year. He'll have his hands full in the Jets' Week 3 road tilt against the Lions on Sunday. | |
| 9/22/2026 8:54:00 PM | Brooks recorded three total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 35-13 loss to San Francisco. |
| Brooks uncharastically quiet, registering his fewest tackles in a game since Week 17 of the 2024 campaign. The linebacker notched a career-high 183 total tackles over 17 regular-season games in 2025, and he'll likely be more busy Week 3 versus the Chiefs. | |
| 9/20/2026 5:45:00 PM | Winters (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. |
| Winters sustained a shoulder injury in the first quarter and exited the contest for further evaluation. Winters has now been cleared to return, which should lead to a reduction in snaps for Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham. | |
| 9/18/2026 11:44:00 PM | Hutchinson logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Lions' 41-31 loss to the Bills on Thursday night. |
| Hutchinson sacked Josh Allen on the third play of the game, forcing a fumble that right tackle Spencer Brown recovered. The Lions' top pass rusher almost notched another on the Bills' quarterback, but Allen was able to fend off the 6-foot-7, 268-pounder long enough to send the ball out of bounds. Hutchinson had a very top-heavy night, mostly fending off plays designed to get away from the defensive end as the Bills tried to run out the clock for the majority of the second half. | |

| 9/15/2026 9:19:00 PM | Thieneman logged 10 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defense during the Bears' 59-37 win over the Panthers on Sunday. |
| Thieneman, a first-round selection of the Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft, made his regular-season debut Sunday in what turned out to be the highest-scoring Week 1 contest in NFL history. Thieneman did his part, leading the Bears in tackles while playing all 68 defensive snaps and playing 17 more snaps on special teams. The rookie figures to be busy this season if the Bears' secondary doesn't show improvement, though the team was without fellow safety Xavier Woods (groin) against Carolina. | |
| 8/29/2026 8:37:00 PM | The Saints have received interest in Rattler but aren't planning to trade him, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. |
| Rattler had an uneven first two NFL campaigns, making 14 starts in 16 regular-season contests and completing 62.7 percent of his pass attempts for 2,903 yards with a 12:10 TD:INT. He began last year as New Orleans' No. 1 QB but gave way to Tyler Shough after the team compiled a 1-7 record across its first eight games. Shough ran away with the job and is entering the upcoming campaign with a strong hold on top signal-caller role, which theoretically could make Rattler expendable. However, it appears the Saints want to keep Rattler as an insurance policy behind Shough, as Rattler would be in a good position to take over at QB if needed given his extensive opportunities over the past two years. Rattler's fantasy value in redraft leagues is almost non-existent given his backup role, and even if Shough were to go down with an injury, Rattler likely wouldn't be a hot pickup in most formats given his inconsistent play in the NFL so far. | |
