  • FA Defensive Back #23
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports free agent DB Ronald Darby met with the Titans.
    The Titans are in search of help in the secondary and are interested in Darby’s services. Darby spent last season with the Broncos but saw his season come to an end when he suffered a torn ACL in Week 5. The 29-year-old vet started all five games he appeared in last season and earned a PFF coverage grade of 66.3 after allowing 10 receptions for 111 scoreless yards. In addition to the Titans, Darby also met with the Texans earlier this summer.
  • PIT Center #78
    Steelers RG James Daniels suffered a torn Achilles in the Steelers’ Week 4 loss to the Colts and is out for the season.
    Daniels exited in the first half of Sunday’s loss and didn’t return to the field. It’s a tough loss for the Steelers, who also lost rookie right tackle Troy Fautanu for the season after he suffered a dislocated knee cap before Week 3’s matchup against the Chargers. Daniels has started all 36 games he’s appeared in for the Steelers since joining them in 2022 and was having a strong season before going down. Guard Spencer Anderson filled in for Daniels following his exit and will presumably takeover at right guard for the Steelers for the foreseeable future.
  • MIA Running Back #31
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Raheem Mostert (chest) is not expected to play in the Dolphins’ Week 4 matchup against the Titans.
    Head coach Mike McDaniel said on Saturday that Mostert “is trying” to play on Monday night but also suggested the team would exercise caution by not rushing him back too soon. Mostert was limited in practice all week, leading us to believe a Week 5 return is very much in play. It will be De’Von Achane’s show for at least one more week, but Mostert is undoubtedly on the mend after missing the last three weeks.
  • GB Wide Receiver #9
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Christian Watson was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain following the Packers’ Week 4 loss to the Vikings.
    Per Rapoport, an MRI revealed no fracture in Watson’s ankle, but the injury could land the third-year receiver on injured reserve. Watson was carted from the field in the first half and obviously didn’t return to the field. He’s caught just five passes for 80 yards and one touchdown on the year. Dontayvion Wicks emerged to play on a season-high 58 snaps last week, and will be in line to see a busier workload while Watson is out.
  • BAL Tight End #89
    Mark Andrews dropped his lone target in the Ravens’ Week 4 win over the Bills.
    That is now two straight weeks where Andrews has dropped his only target, sending fantasy managers scrambling for answers at the tight end position in the immediate future. The veteran tight end made numerous key blocks to spring running back Derrick Henry, resulting in the King surging to 209 combined yards from scrimmage. If only fantasy managers got points for sick blocks.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #4
    Zay Flowers caught 1-of-2 targets for 10 yards in the Ravens’ Week 4 win over the Bills.
    Flowers and the rest of the Baltimore pass game simply weren’t needed in this one as the Ravens rode 209 yards from scrimmage from running back Derrick Henry to a convincing win. The low usage appears to be induced by game plan considering the stout nature of the Buffalo pass defense and comparatively poor run defense. Flowers could find a bounce-back spot against the Bengals in Week 5.
  • BAL Tight End #80
    Isaiah Likely caught 1-of-2 targets for 26 yards in the Ravens’ Week 4 win over the Bills.
    Likely was targeted just twice on a night quarterback Lamar Jackson attempted only 18 passes, continuing to share tight end duties with both Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar. It appears Likely’s fantasy managers will need to roll with the punches considering Baltimore’s propensity to focus on the ground game when they are able to control the game environment.
  • BAL Running Back #43
    Justice Hill rushed four times for 18 yards in the Ravens’ Week 4 win over the Bills, adding 78 yards and a touchdown on six receptions.
    Hill served as the clear passing situation and change of pace back behind Derrick Henry but caught all six targets and a touchdown, propelling his fantasy score to a season-high in the process. He also doubled the targets of any other Ravens skill position player when quarterback Lamar Jackson attempted just 18 passes, indicating a clear focus in the game plan against the Bills. Hill should continue to return sporadic fantasy scores for as long as Henry remains healthy.
  • BAL Running Back #22
    Derrick Henry rushed 24 times for 199 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens’ Week 4 win over the Bills, adding 10 yards and a touchdown on three receptions.
    Henry narrowly missed 200 yards on the ground after erupting for an 87-yard touchdown on the team’s first offensive play from scrimmage. The Ravens would take a 21-3 lead into the half following touchdown receptions from Henry and fellow running back Justice Hill, which allowed the team to ride the towering back throughout the second half. Even with the massive fantasy day, his box score could have been even larger had he not fumbled entering the end zone in the fourth quarter after never appearing to secure the handoff from quarterback Lamar Jackson. Regardless, fantasy managers have to be pleased with the early-season returns after Henry has scored in every game as a Raven through a month of play.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Lamar Jackson completed 13-of-18 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens’ 35-10, Week 4 win over the Bills, adding 54 yards and one touchdown on six carries.
    Jackson had a relatively clean game outside a lost fumble on a scramble in the second quarter. he attempted only 18 passes with the Ravens in clear control throughout after jumping out to a 21-3 lead that they would take into the half. Even though he was overshadowed by the 209 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns of running back Derrick Henry, the Ravens put together their most complete game of the young season as a team. Also interesting was that all five Baltimore touchdowns were scored either on the ground or by the backfield, with Jackson accounting for one of the ground, Henry accounting for one on the ground and one through the air, Justice Hill accounting for one through the air, and fullback Patrick Ricard falling on a Henry fumble in the end zone for his score. Up next for the 2-2 Ravens are the 1-3 Bengals fresh off their first win of the season.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #0
    Keon Coleman caught 3-of-4 targets for 51 yards in the Bills’ Week 4 loss to the Ravens.
    Coleman committed a costly drop late in the second quarter with the team trailing 21-3, something that could have narrowed the scoring gap heading into the break for the then-floundering Bills. He would catch his next three targets including two beautiful back shoulder throws from Josh Allen down the left sideline. Even so, Coleman has been relegated to a timeshare with Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling during the previous two games after serving as a near every-down wide receiver in the team’s first two games of the season, leaving him with little upside in fantasy circles for the time being.
