All Player News
  • CAR Wide Receiver #18
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    This was though to be the most likely scenario after head coach Dave Canales told reporters Friday that the team would elevate Ja’Seem Reed if the belief was that Coker could not go on Sunday Night Football. Reed was, in fact, elevated Saturday and Coker was declared inactive. Brycen Tremaine appears to be in line for a featured role after playing 81 percent of the team’s offensive snaps a week ago. Expect John Metchie to also see additional snaps and opportunities, while David Moore could see package usage on the perimeter. Also inactive for the Panthers are TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, QB Haynes King, G Damien Lewis, OT Albert Reese, and DT Cam Jackson.
  • DEN Wide Receiver #13
    He’s questionable to return. Bryant took a big hit over the middle on a second half reception against the Niners and was down on the turf for some time before being helped onto the cart. Looking dejected, Bryant was taken to the locker room. The oft-injured Bryant could be facing yet another extended absence. That would likely boost playing time and targets for Courtland Sutton and possibly Marvin Mims.
  • DEN Cornerback #2
    Surtain went down with a lower leg injury late in the second half and needed help getting to the Denver locker room. It was a non-contact injury. The Broncos also lost starting corner Riley Moss. Extended absences for Moss and Surtain would make the Broncos vulnerable to most opposing passing attacks, including the Chargers in Week 5.
  • BUF Tight End #86
    Kincaid had just two targets in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots after seeing three looks last week against the Chargers. He’s cooled off considerably after a hot start to the 2026 season. “There’s no reason Dalton Kincaid should have two targets, especially with the flow of the game and how that goes,” a visibly frustrated Brady said after Buffalo’s Week 4 loss. “Gotta find a way to get the ball in his hands and do a better job of that.” Against the Patriots Kincaid was targeted on just 8 percent of his routes. He’ll look to bounce back next week against the Rams.
  • DEN Cornerback #2
    Surtain went down with a non-contact injury late in the second quarter and needed help getting the the Denver locker room. He was seen grabbing at his calf and foot area. Hopefully for the Broncos this injury is not a worst-case scenario for one of the NFL’s best cover corners. Brock Purdy and the Niners should have an easier time moving the ball if Surtain is sidelined for the remainder of this game.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift was playing his usual lead back role in the run-first Chicago offense when he lost a fumble in the second half and did not return to action, ceding the backfield to Kyle Monangai, who ended the game with 30 rushes for 146 yards. Swift, who has been struggling with a knee injury, was stuffed twice at the goal line in the first half. It was looking like a big day against a gettable New York run defense. If Swift misses time, Monangai would be a must-play option in all formats. The Bears take on the Packers in Week 5.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5
    Higgins had a monstrous day, seeing 16 of Joe Burrow’s 54 pass attempts. With Ja’Marr Chase (concussion) exiting early, Higgins made a series of toe-tap sideline catches and saw several contested targets. He suffered an injury making a sideline grab in the fourth quarter and missed the Bengals’ final drive. ESPN’s Ben Baby reports Higgins tried to give it a go but could not push through an apparent adductor injury. The severity of the injury is not yet known but there is a chance Higgins misses time. Higgins is a weekly WR2 fantasy play that enters WR1 territory when Chase is out. Injury reports from this week will tell if Higgins can go in Week 5 against the Dolphins.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    This news comes from the team’s X account. Rice exited in the first quarter of Sunday’s game and eventually made his way to the locker room after initially refusing to leave the field. CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson reported that Rice was noticeably frustrated on the sideline, which isn’t an encouraging sign as far as his return for this game is concerned.
  • CHI Quarterback #17
    Getting the start after Case Keenum led the Bears to victory in Week 3 against the Eagles, Bagent successfully managed the run-heavy Bears offense. He was inaccurate for stretches of the game, throwing at least two balls that should have been intercepted by the New York secondary. On the day he was 8 percent over his expected completion rate. Bagent targeted Rom Odunze a team-high nine times. He connected with Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III a handful of times on well-times throws to the middle of the field. Bagent will get another start in Week 5 against the Packers with Caleb Williams sidelined. He’ll have some superflex appeal in that matchup.
  • NYJ Quarterback #7
    The Jets had the ball for a mere 17 minutes, as the Tyson Bagent-led Chicago offense dominated time of possession from start to finish. Smith, who had a combined 58 pass attempts over his past two outings, struggled against consistent pressure from the Bears front seven. His only highlight of the day came on a 58-yard touchdown strikes to Isaiah Williams in the fourth quarter. Smith should be a superflex option next week against the Browns. The return of Adonai Mitchell (finger) would boost Smith’s ceiling.
