  Colts | WR Keenan Allen (groin) limited in Wednesday's practice    Wed Oct 7, 05:15 PM

Colts WR Keenan Allen (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Footballguys view: Allen's groin injury kept him out of Week 4. It seems like he's trending towards playing against the Steelers in Week 5. We like the veteran receiver as a 'what the heck' flex, but only in super deep PPR formats this week.

  Ravens | WR Zay Flowers (foot) limited in Wednesday's practice    Wed Oct 7, 05:15 PM

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Footballguys view: The Ravens have the Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 5. Flowers' status is one of watch due to the late start. We feel he should play, and if Flowers is out there, then he can produce like a low-end WR1 for Fantasy GMs.

  Broncos | Pat Bryant (ankle) not spotted at Wednesday practice    Wed Oct 7, 04:40 PM

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (ankle) was not spotted during the viewing period of Wednesday's practice, Denver's first session of the week ahead of its Week 5 game at the Chargers.

Footballguys view: Without Bryant against the Chargers in Week 5, we should see more from Troy Franklin as the team's no.3 option at the wide receiver position. Franklin has 'what the heck' flex appeal in crazy deep leagues. Bryant was expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle sprain suffered in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

  Jets | AD Mitchell held out of practice Wednesday    Wed Oct 7, 04:34 PM

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 5 game against the Browns.

Footballguys view: Mitchell was ruled out for Week 4 and was described as 'week to week' earlier Wednesday. Like Breece Hall, a DNP on Wednesday is not a great sign for Mitchell's availability against the Browns. Garrett Wilson is the top target, but without Mitchell we'll more from Isaiah Williams like we did a week ago. Williams is worth a 'what the heck' flex play but only in deeper leagues.

  Dolphins | Chris Bell (knee) limited in Wednesday's practice    Wed Oct 7, 04:33 PM

Dolphins rookie WR Chris Bell (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: Bell caught 0-of-3 targets in the Dolphins' Week 4 loss to the Vikings. It was a disastrous outing to be sure, but there's some deep 'what the heck' flex appeal with Bell out there against the Bengals.

  Chargers | Ladd McConkey works off to the side with a trainer Wednesday    Wed Oct 7, 04:33 PM

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was off to the side working with a trainer during the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media. McConkey is dealing with a foot injury. WRs Brenen Thompson and Quentin Johnston were also working off to the side.

Footballguys view: It's a start for McConkey, but a limited practice by Friday is what we're focused on. Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said earlier this week that McConkey was considered day-to-day after aggravating his foot injury in Week 4 against the Seahawks. The Chargers are at home with an AFC West battle against the Broncos on Sunday.

  Bengals | Tee Higgins among six Bengals out of Wednesday practice    Wed Oct 7, 04:31 PM

Bengals WR Tee Higgins was one of six Cincinnati players who missed practice on Wednesday. Higgins was considered 'day to day' on Monday with an injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

Footballguys view: Higgins has a neck/adductor designation. With multiple injuries to deal with, Higgins is likely out of Week 5's game against Jacksonville. We'll see if Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) can clear the NFL protocol at some point this week.

Giants WR Malik Nabers said on Wednesday that he is "sore," more sore than usual, and did as much as he could at practice. Nabers said "we'll see" when asked whether it will affect his ability to play Sunday against the Commanders, but added that he usually gets better as the week progresses.

  Texans | Texans open 21-day practice window for Tank Dell    Wed Oct 7, 02:02 PM

The Texans opened the 21-day practice window for WR Tank Dell on Wednesday. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that he expected the team to open Dell's window. Dell can now practice with the team while remaining on injured reserve.

Footballguys view: The Texans have a 21-day window to determine if Dell is going to be activated and officially join the roster. Dell is an explosive player, but he's oft-injured and not someone who can be relied on for availability.

  Patriots | A.J. Brown shows 'no limp' in locker room, eligible to return from IR next week    Wed Oct 7, 02:02 PM

Patriots WR A.J. Brown spent notable time in the locker room during media access on Wednesday, showing no limp and "a big smile on his face." Brown is eligible to come off injured reserve next week.

Footballguys view: Initial reporting on his high ankle sprain suggested a recovery of six or more weeks, and Wednesday marked four weeks since the injury. The Patriots' offense was sparked by QB Drake Maye (it helped for him to use his legs to attack), and things could continue to trend up for the unit when Brown is back on the field.

  Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase 'working through protocol', Tee Higgins limited Wednesday    Wed Oct 7, 01:00 PM

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is "working through protocol," head coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday. Chase entered the concussion protocol after leaving Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Taylor said WR Tee Higgins, who exited late in Sunday's game, will be limited in Wednesday's practice. Safeties Bryan Cook and Kyle Dugger will not practice on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: Chase will need to get some work in on the practice field, and then the team will need to see what his concussion symptoms are like the next day. We might not see Chase out there against the Dolphins on Sunday. Fantasy GMs need to have other players ready to go.

  Dolphins | Caleb Douglas 'doing better' but will not practice Wednesday    Wed Oct 7, 12:44 PM

Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Jeff Hafley said.

Footballguys view: Hafley said the rookie is "doing better" but not enough to get back on the field yet. Douglas was ruled out of Sunday's loss to the Vikings. The rookie is a player we appreciate in dynasty formats. Malik Washington continues as the top receiver for the Dolphins, and he's got flex appeal for Fantasy GMs in that role.

  Commanders | Terry McLaurin (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, will work off to the side    Wed Oct 7, 12:34 PM

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday but will work off to the side, head coach Dan Quinn said. McLaurin was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Colts with the hamstring injury. Washington hosts the Giants on Sunday.

Footballguys view: McLaurin tweaked his hamstring last Friday and missed Week 4. He's working off to the side, but that's not a guarantee that McLaurin will be out there against the Giants. A limited practice for McLaurin on Friday is what the Commanders are working towards.

  Vikings | Vikings signing Odell Beckham Jr. to practice squad after Giants release    Wed Oct 7, 11:43 AM

The Vikings are signing WR Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Footballguys view: Beckham was released by the Giants after three games. The move comes as Vikings WR Justin Jefferson works through an ankle injury and WR Jauan Jennings has two receptions on four targets in three games. Beckham is now reunited with Kevin O'Connell, as the two worked together with the Rams.

  Broncos | Pat Bryant gets good news on ankle MRI, avoids worst-case scenario    Wed Oct 7, 02:12 AM

Broncos WR Pat Bryant received good news after undergoing an MRI on his injured ankle on Tuesday. He avoided a worst-case scenario, and the injury is expected to be short-term. Bryant had been expected on Monday to miss multiple weeks with the ankle sprain. He had 42 or more receiving yards in three of his four games this season and scored a touchdown in Week 3.

Footballguys view: Bryant is a future starting "X" receiver for the Broncos, and he does a good job working as a blocker and receiver who can move the chains with clutch catches. We love him in dynasty, but in re-draft leagues he's a player that Fantasy GMs can move on from while he recovers. When Bryant is back, if the Broncos passing game turns it on, we'll circle back to adding him on the waiver wire.

  Cowboys | CeeDee Lamb, Joey Porter Jr. remain full participants on Tuesday    Tue Oct 6, 04:20 PM

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (thigh) and CB Joey Porter Jr. (ankle) were again full participants on Tuesday, matching Monday's estimated report from a walkthrough.

Footballguys view: Both players were injured in Sunday's win over the Texans and appear on track to play in Thursday's game against the Buccaneers. CB Cobie Durant (hamstring), LB DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring) and OT Drew Shelton (hamstring) were again non-participants. OG Tyler Smith (thumb) was limited again after the Cowboys opened his 21-day return-to-practice window on Monday. RB Tyler Goodson (ankle), S Alijah Clark (ankle), S Malik Hooker (forearm) and OLB James Houston (shoulder) remained full participants.

  Eagles | DeVonta Smith 'more likely' to miss London game; Shipley only healthy RB    Tue Oct 6, 03:00 AM

Early indications are that Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will miss more than one game, and it seems more likely he won't be able to play against the Jaguars in London in Week 5.

Footballguys view: With Smith out last Sunday, Darius Cooper was the prime beneficiary. He outsnapped rookie WR Makai Lemon as the team's WR2 in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams, turning a team-high seven targets into three catches for 33 yards and two touchdowns while also playing a significant special teams role. Dontayvion Wicks played the most snaps of any Eagles receiver but ranked third in targets with five. Expect this pecking order to remain in place if Smith is out again in London.

  Commanders | Goal is for Jayden Daniels to 'start on Sunday', McLaurin update coming Wednesday    Tue Oct 6, 01:07 AM

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that the goal is for QB Jayden Daniels to "have a full week of practice, full week, and start on Sunday" against the Giants.

Footballguys view: Daniels and RB Rachaad White are expected to return to practice this week. WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring), held out of Sunday's loss to the Colts, is still being evaluated, and Quinn said he will "give you a better update for him for Wednesday." QB Marcus Mariota sprained the same MCL he injured in training camp and has no exact timetable, while WR Jaylin Lane fractured and dislocated his ankle and "will be out for the year."

  Chargers | Ladd McConkey day-to-day with foot injury    Tue Oct 6, 01:06 AM

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey, who has already played through a cracked rib this season, is day-to-day with a foot injury, head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday.

Footballguys view: In addition, S Derwin James Jr. (hamstring) is week-to-week but is expected to stay off injured reserve, and CB Donte Jackson (hamstring) is also week-to-week. Tackle Rashawn Slater sustained a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and is a candidate for IR, while tackle Joe Alt (neck) is still being evaluated but is less likely to be placed on IR. Harbaugh said WR Brenen Thompson (quad), TE Charlie Kolar, guard Kayode Awosika (fibula) and DT Dalvin Tomlinson (hamstring) are "all making good progress." The Chargers play the Broncos in Week 5.

  Chiefs | Tyquan Thornton expected to miss 12-16 weeks, needs ankle surgery    Mon Oct 5, 04:01 PM

Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton is expected to miss 12-16 weeks after dislocating his ankle in Sunday's win over the Raiders, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.

Footballguys view: Thornton will undergo surgery within the week and has a real chance at a late-season or postseason return, Rapoport added. Thornton caught five passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders before leaving with the injury. The Chiefs appear to be interested in adding Tyreek Hill to their roster, but there's nothing concrete on that. For now, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen will play larger roles behind Rashee Rice, who's dealing with a hamstring injury, and Xavier Worthy.

  Chiefs | Rosenhaus to begin talks for Tyreek Hill Monday, Chiefs in the mix    Mon Oct 5, 03:48 PM

Free-agent WR Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, plans to begin negotiating a deal for his client on Monday with multiple teams, including the Chiefs, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

Footballguys view: Rosenhaus has indicated Hill, who is recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ligaments including his ACL suffered in September 2025, could be ready to play in November. The Chiefs were interested in Hill even before WR Tyquan Thornton dislocated his ankle and WR Rashee Rice injured his hamstring on Sunday, and the team reached out to Rosenhaus after those injuries, The Athletic's Michael Silver reported. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said "it'd be pretty cool" if Hill returned, and TE Travis Kelce said, "I'd love to have 'The Cheetah' back in this building." Stay tuned.

  Bengals | Tee Higgins (adductor) considered 'day to day'    Mon Oct 5, 03:16 PM

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (adductor) is considered day to day, head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday. Higgins exited late in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars with the injury.

Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, adductor injuries are tricky, as are most soft-tissue injuries, so we will have to wait and see how this week goes because we don't know the severity of the injury. Higgins had a monster day with Ja'Marr Chase going down early on Sunday, catching 11 of 16 targets for 157 yards. Higgins often explodes when Chase, who is in the concussion protocol, is out. We'll be following this one closely all week.

  Eagles | Darius Cooper outsnaps Makai Lemon as WR2 in Sunday's loss to Rams    Mon Oct 5, 03:01 PM

Eagles WR Darius Cooper outsnapped rookie WR Makai Lemon as the team's WR2 in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams, turning a team-high seven targets into three catches for 33 yards and two touchdowns while also playing a significant special teams role.

Footballguys view: With DeVonta Smith sidelined by a hamstring injury, Lemon saw six targets and caught three passes for 27 yards, with all three receptions coming on the Eagles' third drive and no touches after that. WR Dontayvion Wicks played the most snaps of any Eagles receiver but ranked third in targets with five. Remember, Smith could miss another game -- and possibly more -- with his injury.

  Texans | DeMeco Ryans expects to open 21-day practice window for Tank Dell    Mon Oct 5, 02:32 PM

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that he expects to open the 21-day practice window for WR Tank Dell.

Footballguys view: Dell has not played since suffering a severe knee injury in December 2024, which cost him the rest of that season and all of 2025, and he had a setback in training camp this year. Before the injury, Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first 25 career games. Put this on your watch list. We're not overly optimistic about Dell, but Houston's passing attack is productive enough to make him interesting if/when he returns to action.

  Cardinals | Colts among teams that have called Cardinals about Marvin Harrison Jr. trade    Mon Oct 5, 02:29 PM

The Indianapolis Colts are among the teams that have called the Arizona Cardinals about the trade availability of Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr., ESPN's Adam Schefter said on 'The Pat McAfee Show.'

Footballguys view: The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, November 10. Harrison Jr., the No. 4 overall pick in 2024, has 5 receptions for 85 yards through Arizona's first four games, including his first touchdown catch of the season in Week 4. The Colts have WR Alec Pierce on injured reserve, and WR Keenan Allen missed Sunday's game with a hamstring injury.

  Broncos | Pat Bryant expected to miss 'multiple weeks' with ankle sprain    Mon Oct 5, 12:17 PM

Broncos WR Pat Bryant is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering an ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.

Footballguys view: Bryant went down after hauling in a 30-yard reception in the third quarter, his third catch of the game. He was then carted off the field, leaving Denver with Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims as their four healthy receivers against the 49ers. Denver also has four receivers on the practice squad. The hope is, this won't be a season-ending injury. Bryant's nine targets through the first three games of the 2026 season ranked fourth on the team.

  Rams | Puka Nacua has a 'pre-hernia', didn't slow him down in Week 4    Mon Oct 5, 09:34 AM

Rams WR Puka Nacua has a "pre-hernia," Fox Sports' Erin Andrews reported during Sunday's game against the Eagles, meaning there is a weakness in the muscle wall in his hip/groin area that has not yet become a hernia.

Footballguys view: This is a situation worth watching. Nacua had "core muscle" issues during training camp and then a hip/groin problem that cost him two games; head coach Sean McVay recently acknowledged that Nacua does not have a hernia but that "some of the things can be like pre-hernia." Nonetheless, Nacua returned on Sunday and caught nine passes for 125 yards. We're playing him without reservation as long as he's available.

Footballguys view: Tyson is eligible to come off injured reserve as soon as Week 5, but Week 7 currently looks like the earliest point he would be back in the lineup, per Schefter. The Saints face the Steelers in Paris in Week 7 and have their bye in Week 8. Tyson, a first-round pick, will miss Monday night's game against the Falcons and has yet to make his NFL debut.

The Chiefs have reached out to free-agent WR Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, as they work toward a reunion, The Athletic's Mike Silver reported on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Several Chiefs players, including QB Patrick Mahomes, told Silver after Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders that they would be in favor of bringing Hill back once he is healthy enough to play. Kansas City lost WR Rashee Rice (hamstring) and WR Tyquan Thornton (dislocated left ankle) in the win, and WR Xavier Worthy has been struggling with a shoulder injury, though he played Sunday. Hill is working back from a dislocated kneecap and three torn ligaments in his left knee suffered last season with the Dolphins. Stay tuned.

  Chiefs | WR Tyquan Thornton seriously injured in the fourth quarter vs. Raiders    Sun Oct 4, 07:16 PM

Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton was injured on a play in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Raiders with 3:35 left.

Footballguys view: Thornton was posting a breakout game after Rashee Rice left with a hamstring injury. He caught five balls for 111 yards and two scores, including a long ball to set up the late fourth quarter go-ahead score. At the end of the play, one of Thornton's feet was pointing the wrong way where the chasing defender landed on him. This will probably end Thornton's season. Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen will play larger roles, but expect Patrick Mahomes to lean on Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy and the Chiefs offense to put even more on the shoulders of Ken Walker III.

  Chargers | Ladd McConkey (foot) ruled out at Seattle after zero catches, Joe Alt (neck) out    Sun Oct 4, 06:42 PM

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey has been ruled out of Sunday's game at Seattle with a foot injury. McConkey, who was questionable entering the game, drew two targets but did not record a catch before exiting. The Chargers also downgraded RT Joe Alt to out with a neck injury he suffered late in the first half, and Travis Burke has replaced him.

Footballguys view: Injuries dampened McConkey's output last season -- including injuries on the offensive line -- and it appears that this season is on the same track for him. It's clear that McConkey is good enough to be a fantasy force - even with the Mike McDaniel offense sputtering - if he could stay healthy. Durability was a question mark coming out of college for McConkey, so his second injury in a month of play is disconcerting when considering his long-term value.

  Broncos | Cart coming out for Pat Bryant after he was tackled by three 49ers defenders    Sun Oct 4, 06:42 PM

A cart came out for Broncos WR Pat Bryant after he was tackled by three 49ers defenders during Sunday's game in San Francisco. No details on the nature of the injury were immediately available.

Footballguys view: Bryant got bent in multiple directions and it's possible he suffered a serious leg injury. The Broncos pass offense has been uneven after an offseason and summer filled with promise following the trade for Jaylen Waddle. Bo Nix hasn't taken the expected step forward in his third year, and it's going to be hard to do that later this season against an easier part of the schedule if Bryant is out. Nix has been better throwing the ball to Bryant than he has been throwing to Waddle or Courtland Sutton.
