1 day agoCleveland Browns offensive linemen Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) and Jack Conklin (hamstring) have both been ruled for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Mary Kay Cabot. This will be a tough blow for the Cleveland offense, as they will be without two of their starting linemen. Even though the Raiders will be without star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (ankle), they will have a much easier time getting to Browns quarterback
Deshaun Watson. Fantasy managers looking to stream a potential defense should consider Las Vegas, as they should be in a position to record a high number of sacks, as Watson has already been sacked 16 times this season.

Calvin Ridley faces the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. Ridley put up a near-dud last week with only one-catch for nine yards after torching the Jets lockdown secondary a week prior. Through three weeks it's fairly evident that he will be a boom/bust player given the inconsistencies of quarterback
Will Levis, along with the emergence of
DeAndre Hopkins last week. While Ridley was looking like the clear-cut top option in this passing attack, he took a clear back seat to Hopkins in Week 3 so that is definitely something to monitor. The way to beat Miami is on the ground so it's likely this upcoming game won't feature a ton of passing volume, making Ridley a risky WR3.

Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The 25-year-old was able to log a limited practice every day this week and could return to action after missing the previous two weeks. Love was diagnosed with a knee injury following their Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. Over the past two weeks,
Malik Willis has led Green Bay to two straight victories and will get another start if Love is unable to suit up. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to any updates regarding Love, as he should be started in all formats if he is a 'full-go.'

1 day agoHouston Texans running back
Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game with an ankle injury. Mixon suffered the injury in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears and was held out of action last weekend. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to any updates regarding the 28-year-old's status over the weekend. The Texans will already enter this game shorthanded with wideout
Tank Dell (chest) and No.2 running back
Dameon Pierce (hamstring) already ruled out. If Mixon misses his second-straight game, fantasy managers should expect
Cam Akers to lead the backfield again in a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have allowed the 29th most points to running backs this season.

1 day agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch had another quiet outing in Week 3 following his solid Week 1 performance. Despite receiving six targets, Dortch managed only three catches for 35 yards in the loss to the Detroit Lions. His role remains consistent as the team's primary slot receiver, playing 66% of the snaps. With the Washington Commanders allowing the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, Dortch could see an uptick in targets, especially with tight end
Trey McBride (concussion) ruled out. Both McBride and Dortch typically run the majority of the team's underneath routes, making Dortch a potential primary check-down option. However, after back-to-back subpar weeks despite favorable matchups, fantasy managers should wait for another strong performance from Dortch before considering him for the starting lineup.

1 day agoTennessee Titans running back
Tyjae Spears faces the Miami Dolphins this coming Monday night in Week 4. The sophomore running back put up his highest yard total of the season last week with 61, and was on the field quite a bit when the Titans were playing catch up vs. Green Bay. He's still been a clear RB2 behind Pollard in terms of opportunities, but with how poor Miami is at defending the run and Spears ramping up in the passing game, he could be a sneaky good option for a flex spot, albeit in deeper leagues.

1 day agoHouston Texans wide receiver
Tank Dell (chest) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The sophomore wideout suffered a chest injury in last week's game against the Minnesota Vikings and was not able to log a practice throughout the week. Dell will now set his sights on returning in Week 5 when the Texans face the Buffalo Bills. The 24-year-old has had a modest start to the season but did post a season-best 62 yards in last week's game but has yet to find the end zone. Fantasy managers should expect
Nico Collins and
Stefon Diggs to see the majority of targets this weekend, with
Robert Woods and
Xavier Hutchinson rotating as the No.3 option.

1 day agoTennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard heads to Miami to face the Dolphins in a Week 4 primetime matchup. After two strong weeks to start the season Pollard took a major step back last week with only 4.4 points in half-PPR scoring. The positives were that he still drew four targets, and managed to out-rush his backfield mate
Tyjae Spears for the third consecutive week. With Levis' struggles at the helm of this offense, the Titans may opt to lean on their dynamic RB duo more often, and this coming week against a porous rush defense that just let
James Cook go hog-wild, Pollard remains a strong play.

1 day agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave (hamstring) reportedly suffered a hamstring injury during Friday's practice, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Schefter further noted that the 24-year-old wideout is considered "day-to-day" for the time being. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the injury report later this afternoon, as it should provide clarity on Olave's status for Sunday's game. Olave has posted back-to-back games of at least 80+ yards and scored his first touchdown of the 2024 season last week against the Philadelphia Eagles. If Olave is able to suit up this weekend, he should be viewed as a high-end WR2.
UPDATE: Olave is officially questionable for Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons.--Andy Smith - RotoBallerSource: Adam Schefter
1 day agoTennessee Titans quarterback
Will Levis faces the Miami Dolphins in a Week 4 Monday Night Football road showdown. Levis has been on the front page of every NFL meme account due to his not-top ten plays through the first three games of the year. The young quarterback has seen pressure at one of the highest rates in the NFL which has made moving the ball downfield very difficult for this Titans' offense. On the road against a formidable defense with the lowest over/under on the Week is not a good spot for Levis to bounce back. While he did throw for a career high 327 yards last year in an almost identical spot last season, Levis cannot be trusted in any formats as the QB28 through three weeks.

1 day agoCincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation and is set to play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Chase opened the week on Wednesday as a limited participant with a shoulder injury but logged a full practice on Thursday and Friday. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable locking the LSU standout in their lineup as a high-end WR1 for the remainder of the season. After starting the season slowly through the first two weeks, Chase broke out in a big way on Monday night as he caught six passes for 118 yards and two scores against the Washington Commanders.

1 day agoDetroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams is coming off a lackluster Week 3 performance at Arizona and should continue to be behind
Amon-Ra St. Brown,
Jahmyr Gibbs, and
David Montgomery in the offensive pecking order as far as touches. What Williams brings, however, is the ability to turn one touch into a big play. His deep-ball threat is there in every game but Seattle has two good corners on the outside in Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen. This projects as a tough matchup for Williams as the running back duo figures to be heavily involved and St. Brown should see a majority of the wide receiver targets. So Williams will be reliant on the big play in this matchup making him a somewhat risky option. The upside is certainly there but there is also a low floor.

1 day agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith (concussion) will not play this Sunday due to a concussion. The 25-year-old took a hard helmet-to-helmet hit during last weekend's game and will need at least another week to recover from his injury. However, fantasy managers could expect the Alabama product to potentially return in his next game in Week 6 as the Eagles are off next weekend. This weekend,
Jahan Dotson and
Johnny Wilson should continue to see an increased role in this offense, while No.1 wideout
A.J. Brown (hamstring) remains questionable for Sunday's game. Smith has performed very well in the revamped Kellen Moore passing attack this season, averaging 17.0 PPR points per game.

1 day agoArizona Cardinals kicker
Matt Prater continued his perfect season last week, nailing two field goals from 40+ yards and converting his lone extra point attempt. Prater currently ranks as the ninth best fantasy kicker, averaging 10.3 points per game in standard leagues. The Cardinals face the Washington Commanders in Week 4, who rank 13th in points allowed to opposing kickers. Given the Commanders' defensive struggles this season, Arizona should generate plenty of scoring opportunities. With the game taking place in Arizona's dome, free of weather concerns, Prater shapes up as a solid low-end kicker option for Week 4.
