All Player News
  • LV Wide Receiver #17
    Adams was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant. Given that the team ruled him out one day later, it’s safe to say he suffered a relatively serious injury in practice. Adams leaves behind a massive void of targets that will be filled by Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. With no tight end separating as the clear TE1 for fantasy purposes, the rookie may just have to be ranked as such heading into Week 4. Meyers, on the other hand, will stay in the WR3 ranks after seeing nine targets with Adams on the field last week.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #15
    Keenan Allen was listed as questionable but got in a full practice to close the week. He looks likely to return after missing two games because of a heel injury. Allen led the Bears with 11 targets in Week 1. We don’t expect him to see that many looks in his first game back, but his return does take some targets off the table for Odunze and DJ Moore. Despite going for 112 yards and a touchdown in Week 3, Odunze ranks as a low-end WR3 with Allen seemingly back in the fold.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #13
    Allen suffered the heel injury in Week 1 and has been out ever since. He returned to practice this week and got in two limited sessions before being upgraded to a full participant on Friday. A full practice to close the week suggests he is good to go despite the questionable tag. Allen saw 11 targets in Week 1. Though he may be eased back into the lineup, the potential volume makes it hard to leave him out of fantasy lineups as a FLEX play.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #12
    Collins told reporters he is “absolutely” playing on Sunday. Despite popping up on the injury report yesterday because of the hamstring issue, this appears to be a non-story. With Tank Dell unlikely to suit up, Collins and Diggs will see plenty of work versus the Jaguars. Collins, who has cemented himself as the team’s No.1 receiver, sits in the middle of the fantasy WR1 ranks for Week 4.
  • DAL EDGE #11
    Per Rapoport, “His status is to be determined.” The good news is that the Cowboys get 10 days off after beating the Giants on Thursday Night Football. They face the Steelers in Week 5. Parsons is no stranger to playing through injuries and the extra rest may be enough to get him back on the field without any time missed. The superstar defender has had a quiet start to the season with just one sack through four games, but his presence on the defensive line is often enough to spring other players open for potential sacks. Losing him, even for a short period of time, would be a big blow to the Dallas defense.
  • DAL EDGE #11
    It seemed like either a sprained foot or potential high-ankle sprain. Parsons was walking, albeit gingerly. The injury came the same night he was evaluated for a “stinger” in the first quarter. Whatever it is, Parsons has 10 days to get cleared for Week 5 against the Steelers, but there is a real chance he is dealing with a multi-week, or perhaps even multi-month, issue. For what it’s worth, Parsons told a teammate in the locker room he was “good.” Stay tuned.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    Playing on the road on three days’ rest, Prescott and the Cowboys committed to grind-it-out, station-to-station passing as their running game remained entirely ineffective. Prescott’s only success down the field came on a 55-yard CeeDee Lamb touchdown where the superstar wideout got a safety 1-on-1 and let nature do the rest. It was an intensely boring effort outside of that second quarter big play, but it got the job done for the Cowboys’ purposes. Struggling for big fantasy days due in part to his limited supporting cast, Prescott seems to be settling into the QB10-14 range. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers are a poor Week 5 road matchup, albeit on 10 days’ rest.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #1
    Trying to catch a desperation fourth down sideline heave from Daniel Jones late in the fourth quarter, Nabers came down right on his head. He appeared to be briefly knocked out. Not good. He did make his way to the locker room under his own power, but it was the worst possible ending to a game where play-caller Brian Daboll and Jones put Nabers in harm’s way multiple times. He took a lot of big-time hits, especially in the second half. If there’s any “good news,” it’s that Nabers at least has 10 days to get cleared for Week 5 against the Seahawks. Nabers is confirming every week he is a special young player.
  • SF Tight End #85
    Speaking Thursday, Kittle said he is “very excited to play football” and “feeling fantastic.” The 49ers and coach Kyle Shanahan partake in as much injury report shenanigans as anyone, but Kittle has now practiced back-to-back days. It seems like his Week 3 absence was more precautionary than anything else after he tightened up late in the week. If he does indeed go against the Pats, there is a threat he’s on a snap count in a game that frankly should not be competitive.
  • ARI Tight End #85
    Even a limited Friday practice would put McBride on track to be cleared, but it’s not looking likely at this point. McBride’s absence would funnel ever more looks Marvin Harrison’s way and likely trickle down to Greg Dortch and Michael Wilson, as well. No. 2 TE Elijah Higgins wouldn’t be worth a fantasy stream because the 2023 sixth-rounder’s résumé is just so thin.
