Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Devonte Wyatt (knee) is “week to week.”

30 September 2025

Wyatt’s injury appeared to be a big factor in Green Bay’s trouble stopping Dallas on Sunday night. Nazir Stackhouse and Karl Brooks filled in inside, but neither is as effective as the 2022 first-rounder had been in the first few games of the year.

Raiders LT Kolton Miller (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve.

30 September 2025

It’s not just a high-ankle sprain, but additionally a hairline fracture per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. It sounds like this will knock Miller out for most, if not all of the season. Miller played through the injury in Week 4, but posted a disastrous 43.2 PFF grade while doing so. Third-round pick Charles Grant and veteran Stone Forsythe are the current depth options in the Raiders tackle room.

Bills placed P Cameron Johnston (leg) on injured reserve.

30 September 2025

The punter will miss at least the next four weeks after replacing Brad Robbins as Buffalo punter in Week 1. Buffalo’s third punter of the season will be Mitch Wishnowsky. You can do what you will with that information.

Panthers coach Dave Canales said that Chuba Hubbard’s calf injury “wasn’t a factor” in how reps were divided in Week 4.

30 September 2025

Canales told reporters that he believes “with the players we have in the backfield, if we can sustain drives, if we can play these games that way, then we have a full-speed runner, a violent runner in every time.” That’s a rough quote for Hubbard’s future workload — something that Athletic beat writer Joseph Person is advocating should grow. It doesn’t feel like the coaching staff feels the same way. Rico Dowdle probably doesn’t qualify as a bye week FLEX play just yet, but this qu ...

Browns placed WR Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on injured reserve.

30 September 2025

They signed Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster to replace Tillman. Isaiah Bond out-targeted Tillman 10-5 the past two weeks and would seem to be the main beneficiary of a Tillman absence, though it’s hard to want to start him into the Vikings given how poorly Joe Flacco has played this year. Tillman will be out at least four weeks and might not return to a spot in Cleveland’s pecking order. He’s droppable in most leagues.

Dolphins signed WR Cedrick Wilson off the Saints practice squad.

30 September 2025

Wilson is no target threat at this stage of his career, which is good news for Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Those three appear to be a the top of the pecking order in a post-Tyreek Hill Dolphins offense. Westbrook-Ikhine played the majority of the outside snaps in Hill’s absence in Week 4.

Patriots WR DeMario Douglas played just eight snaps in Week 4.

30 September 2025

We didn’t blurb it over the weekend, but with Stefon Diggs being unchained early in the game, Douglas’ role in New England’s offense was all but kaput. This may be rock bottom and we’d anticipate Douglas being out there more in a game script where the Patriots are actually trying to pass, but Douglas is very droppable in most leagues if Diggs is going to be New England’s main slot receiver.

Cardinals RB Trey Benson (undisclosed) did not practice on Monday.

30 September 2025

Not normally a noteworthy bit of information, Benson’s status is interesting because the Cardinals signed Michael Carter to their active roster on Monday. Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic speculates that the Cardinals could turn to Carter as their lead back if Benson is hurt, and coach Jonathan Gannon would give only a vague “taking it day by day” update on Benson. This is a bit of an odd injury update timing since Arizona played on Thursday Night, but it’s certainly possible that Ben ...

Lions coach Dan Campbell said Detroit will designate Alim McNeill (PUP/knee) to return this week.

30 September 2025

McNeill’s Week 15 ACL tear is healing well and the Lions are reportedly targeting a Week 7 or Week 8 return for their star interior player. McNeill had 8.5 sacks over the past two seasons and carried PFF grades of 86.8 and 79.6. He’ll be a big help for Detroit when he comes off the PUP list.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jets RB Braelon Allen (knee) suffered and MCL sprain and will likely land on injured reserve.

30 September 2025

Isaiah Davis will likely absorb some snaps, but this should be great news for Breece Hall-reliant managers as Allen’s goal-line/early-down role would seem to fit Hall much better than Davis. Allen is still looking at different opinions on the injury, meaning we’ll probably get an update with a firm timetable when he’s actually placed on injured reserve. For the next few weeks at least, though, Hall is likely to get an uptick in usage that should put him in a good place to showcase his skil ...

Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said LB Andrew Van Ginkel (neck) and Brian O’Neill (knee) won’t practice this week.

30 September 2025

It would appear to be implicit in that statement that will neither will play in Week 5 against the Browns, though it wasn’t explicitly said. O’Connell said IR is not a consideration for O’Neill and that the team is “evaluating every avenue and all options to get” Van Ginkel “100%.” Reading between the lines, it seems like an IR stint is still in play for Van Ginkel.

The Baltimore Sun’s Brian Wacker reports Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is “likely” to miss Week 5’s game against the Texans.

30 September 2025


Titans OC Nick Holz said he expects TE Gunnar Helm’s “opportunities to increase.”

30 September 2025

This isn’t going to do a major number on most of your fantasy squads, but an increase in Helm’s reps would likely render Chig Okonkwo unplayable in the TE2 sphere. Helm has 92 snaps in four weeks and Okonkwo is coming off a season-low 35 snaps against the Texans in Week 4.

Texans signed OL Jarrett Kingston off the Panthers practice squad.

30 September 2025

Kingston will replace Cam Robinson on the active roster. The 2024 sixth-rounder was active for seven games with the Panthers last year, but had just one offensive snap. It means he has less negative NFL tape in 2024-2025 than most Texans offensive linemen.

Ricky Pearsall (knee) is questionable for Week 5 against the Rams.

30 September 2025

Pearsall exited Sunday’s game against the Jaguars with a knee injury and did not return. He was estimated to have missed practice this week ahead of the Niners’ Thursday night clash with the Rams. Fantasy managers should prepare for be without Pearsall, who’s leading the 49ers in both targets and air yards. His absence would be a major hit to Brock Purdy if he’s able to play through a nagging toe injury that he aggravated on Sunday.

Commanders signed WR Robbie Chosen, formerly of the 49ers.

30 September 2025

The well-traveled journeyman will join the Washington practice squad ahead of Week 5. The Commanders are dealing with a spate of receiver injuries, including Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (knee, groin). Chosen would only play a rotational role if he’s active for Week 5. He should remain on waiver wires.

Brock Purdy (toe) is questionable for Week 5 against the Rams.

30 September 2025

Purdy was an estimated DNP on Monday ahead of the Niners’ Thursday night game against the Rams. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said Purdy’s status remains “up in the air,” with Mac Jones ready to start for the 49ers if Purdy sits. “We will take every precaution to make sure Brock’s all right,” 49ers general manager John Lynch said, adding that Purdy had follow-up MRI exams on his toe following Week 4’s game against Jacksonsville. “I think he is. Now it’s just a matter of, can ...

Vikings OT Brian O’Neill (knee) is considered week to week.

30 September 2025

O’Neill appears unlikely to suit up for the Vikings this week against a ferocious Browns front seven. The Vikings could be without multiple offensive line starters this week in London. Pro Football Focus grades O’Neill as 52nd out of 197 qualifying offensive linemen in pass blocking. Carson Wentz could face considering pressure against Myles Garrett and the Browns this weekend.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said he hopes QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) will practice this week.

30 September 2025

It’s become clear the Vikings will take their sweet time with getting McCarthy back into the lineup, if he gets his job back when he’s fully cleared. McCarthy is not wearing a boot or brace and is reportedly OK after his mysterious Week 2 ankle injury, which was only revealed after the game.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is “up in the air” for Week 5.

30 September 2025

Jackson left the Ravens’ Week 4 loss to the Chiefs with a hamstring injury and did not return to action. Head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson would not have re-entered the game even if the score had been closer, suggesting the hamstring issue is a longer-term issue for the superstar QB. If Jackson is sidelined this week against the Texans, Cooper Rush will be under center for Baltimore. That, of course, would be a major setback for the fantasy prospects of Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and the r ...
