3 days agoNew York Giants running back
Devin Singletary enters Week 4 following a solid performance in the 21-15 win over the Browns, where he rushed for 65 yards on 16 carries and added four receptions for 43 yards. Singletary is averaging a respectable 15.5 fantasy points per game in 2024 (ranked as the 13th RB overall), primarily thanks to his usage as the Giants' lead back. The Dallas Cowboys defense has been the worst defense against the run, allowing the most rushing yards in the league with 557 in only three games. Singletary's volume gives him a safe floor, and Dallas' porous run defense provides the potential for him to be a No. 1 back in Week 4.

3 days agoNew York Giants quarterback
Daniel Jones enters Week 4 (on Thursday) following a solid showing in the 21-15 win over the Browns, where he posted 236 passing yards, two touchdowns, and 20 rushing yards. Jones is averaging 14.9 fantasy points per game in 2024, with 67 rushing yards, four passing TDs, and two interceptions. The Dallas Cowboys' defense has been poor this season, ranking fourth in fantasy points allowed to QBs, averaging 19.39 fantasy points per game in 2024. Jones looks to take advantage of the matchup. His rushing upside may be crucial, and he has some upside (especially with rookie phenom
Malik Nabers on his side), but he's still a risky fantasy start in this tough divisional matchup.

3 days agoDetroit Lions wide receiver
Tim Patrick has been signed from the practice squad to the active roster on Tuesday. He spent the first three weeks on the practice squad, but he saw game action in each of the last two contests. The Lions were going to be forced to sign him anyway if they brought him back up from the practice squad again this week. Patrick will now stick on the active roster as depth going forward. He has hauled in three of his five targets for 20 yards in two games with the Lions. Patrick put together multiple successful seasons as a member of the Denver Broncos. The veteran wideout probably won't be fantasy relevant, but is a nice depth piece to have on the roster.

3 days agoNew York Giants wide receiver
Darius Slayton (thumb) was a limited participant during practice for the second day in a row. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Slayton was forced to exit early during Sunday's game. However, the 27-year-old returned to the game and his testing on his hand came back clean. That being said, the Giants are likely just being cautious with Slayton as they head into a short week. Hopefully Slayton can be upgraded to full on Wednesday with a game against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. If he misses Week 4,
Wan'Dale Robinson and
Malik Nabers should see increased looks in the offense. Both wideouts have been viable options for this offense early in the season.

3 days agoKansas City Chiefs running back
Keaontay Ingram has been waived by the organization on Tuesday. Ingram was the odd man out with
Kareem Hunt being added to the active roster. There was no more room for Ingram with
Carson Steele,
Samaje Perine, and now Hunt all in the mix while
Isiah Pacheco (leg) recovers. Ingram rushed for 134 yards on 62 attempts over parts of two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He didn't play a single snap despite being active for the game last week. The 24-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere as depth.

3 days agoThe Denver Broncos reportedly had free-agent linebacker Kwon Alexander in for a visit on Tuesday. The former fourth-round pick was a Pro Bowl linebacker with Tampa Bay, but has mainly been used as depth over the last few years. The 30-year-old had 41 tackles, one sack, and one interception in nine games (two starts) with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. Alexander should be healthy now and appears ready to contribute to an NFL roster. He should still have something left in the tank and his presence should be an asset to this Denver defense, assuming he does sign there.

3 days agoJacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) is expected to miss several weeks of action. This news comes a day after Oluokun was forced to exit early during Monday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The star linebacker is reportedly dealing with plantar fasciitis, which is something that is really only healed by rest. Ventrell Miller took over after Oluokun left on Monday and figures to see increased playing time going forward. The loss of Oluokun is huge considering he has recorded over 170 tackles in each of the last three seasons.

3 days agoPittsburgh Steelers left guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) has a chance to play in Week 4. He suffered his injury prior to the opening of the regular season and has yet to play in 2024. He is a huge piece of a much improved Steelers O-line. Should Seumalo return this week he would provide a massive boost for Steelers running backs
Najee Harris and
Jaylen Warren. Additionally, Seumalo would help quarterback
Justin Fields, and by extension, wide receiver
George Pickens and tight end
Pat Freiermuth. If he is unable to play in Week 4, then fantasy managers can find comfort in the fact that Seumalo appears to be close to returning. This situation is worth monitoring for everyone rostering Steelers skill position players.

3 days agoSeattle Seahawks defensive tackle Byron Murphy II (hamstring) may be on his way to missing time. The rookie has contributed to the defensive turnaround that the Seahawks have displayed thus far in 2024. New head coach Mike Macdonald has this unit playing at a high level and Murphy has six total tackles and a half-sack. The Seahawks D/ST has been one of the better units in fantasy thus far. It is the No. 1 defense in passing yards allowed per game. Additionally, the defense has given the offense shorter fields which has increased the fantasy output of Seahawks skill players. The Seahawks indicated that Murphy may miss time by signing defensive tackle Matt Gotel to their practice squad. Hopefully Murphy's absence will be short in order to keep the Seahawks defense playing at as high a level as possible.

3 days agoThe Seattle Seahawks hosted free-agent offensive tackle Jason Peters for a visit on Tuesday. Peters has familiarity with the team after having played in eight games for the Seahawks in 2023. The move comes as the Seahawks were forced to put offensive tackle George Fant (knee) on injured reserve. The Seahawks O-line is already banged up without preferred starting tackle Abraham Lucas (knee). The 42-year-old Peters has had a long and very successful NFL career. He made his mark with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2009 to 2020. He has spent the last couple of years bouncing around the league as a fill-in starter for the Seahawks and the Dallas Cowboys. The injuries along the O-line negatively affect the Seahawks' skill players. Peters may be able to provide depth but he is not the player he used to be. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on this situation to make sure that the O-line can get healthy.

3 days agoWashington Commanders running back
Austin Ekeler (concussion) is in the concussion protocol. Ekeler is also being treated for a laceration on his ear. Ekeler was having a productive night before his injury. He recorded three carries for 35 yards and a touchdown, and two receptions for 22 yards. Ekeler also returned a kick 62 yards to set up the Commanders in excellent field position which ultimately led to a touchdown. The news is a bummer for fantasy managers who were getting surprisingly good production out of Ekeler in all three games this season. He may not be the same player that he was with the Chargers, but he has had flex value. If Ekeler cannot play in Week 4, then
Brian Robinson Jr. figures to see a boost in an already solid workload. The only other running back on the Commanders' active roster is
Jeremy McNichols so it remains to be seen if they will bring anyone else in.

3 days agoKansas City Chiefs running back
Kareem Hunt was signed to the active roster on Tuesday. Hunt was signed to the Chiefs' practice squad after the loss of
Isiah Pacheco (fibula). While he was inactive in Week 3, he appears to be on track to play in Week 4. Hunt returns to Kansas City after a productive five seasons in Cleveland. At 29 years old, Hunt is a relatively inefficient running back at this stage in his career. However, he has a nose for the end zone. In 2023, Hunt rushed for 411 yards and nine touchdowns. He was primarily a short yardage option and only averaged 3.0 yards per carry. With
Samaje Perine and
Carson Steele in line ahead of Hunt, he does not figure to have a lot of fantasy value. However, should either of those two players get hurt, Hunt should still have enough juice to be a solid flex play in fantasy football.

3 days agoDallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday that he doesn't expect veteran running back
Dalvin Cook to play in Week 4 on Thursday Night Football against the division-rival New York Giants. Cook will have to wait another week to make his Cowboys debut in 2024. The team will continue to roll with
Rico Dowdle,
Ezekiel Elliott and
Deuce Vaughn in their backfield on a short week. Dowdle, Zeke and Vaughn have combined to average a weak 3.5 yards on 49 rushing attempts through the first three games in 2024. If that continues, the 29-year-old Cook will surely get his opportunity, but there's no guarantee he'll be much better after averaging 3.2 yards per carry on 67 rushing attempts last year with the Jets. For now, Cook will bide his time on the practice squad and can be left to the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

4 days agoMiami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he's seen some good progress from wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr. (undisclosed) and feels optimistic about Beckham when his practice window opens up, which would come after Week 4. Beckham has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that kept him out for all of training camp in the summer, and he opened the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, so Week 5 against the division-rival New England Patriots would be the earliest he could make his Dolphins debut. The fact that OBJ has yet to even practice with the team once all year, though, suggests it will still be a while before he's ready for game action. The 31-year-old veteran looked washed up last year in Baltimore and is well off the fantasy radar in 12-team leagues in 2024, especially with quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on Injured Reserve and out indefinitely.
