Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 in Monday night’s game against the Packers. With the ATL defense reeling, Ryan and the offense have had up to put tons of points on the board to stay competitive. As a result, the QB has been putting up great numbers all season, including a four-touchdown game in Week 2 and 450 yards in Week 1.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. It’s definitely something to watch heading into Week 4 against the Cowboys, especially if Hunt doesn’t return to practice on Thursday. A limited or inactive Hunt would give Nick Chubb a higher ceiling as an RB1 this weekend. Even though Hunt isn’t the No. 1 back on Cleveland’s depth chart, he’s seeing enough

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Barring a setback later this week, Hines should be active for a Week 4 matchup against the 3-0 Bears. Fantasy managers that snagged Hines off the waiver wire after Marlon Mack suffered a season-ending injury have been disappointed so far, as Hines has carried the ball just seven times

New York Jets wide receivers Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and Chris Hogan (knee, ribs) and rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (shoulder) are all questionable for Thursday night against the Broncos. With Breshad Perriman (ankle) ruled out, Gang Green desperately needs both Crowder and Hogan as they look for their first win in 2020 against a banged-up Broncos Defense. After missing the last two games, Crowder would

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (gluteus) and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Sanders should be fine for the Week 4 matchup against a 49ers Defense that has been hit hard by injuries on their defensive line. Sanders has been one of the only offensive weapons in Philly that has been playing up to his standards, totaling over

The San Francisco 49ers opened the practice window for wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) on Wednesday, meaning that the receiver will now have three weeks to be removed from Injured Reserve. While Samuel is still a ways away from making his 2020 debut, it’s good news for a 49ers team that has been decimated by injuries in the early going on both sides of the

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Kirk did not play in the Week 3 loss to the Lions, so this is a good start for him as he looks to return to action this Sunday against the Panthers. If Kirk can get the go-ahead for Week 4, he’ll return to three-wide sets alongside DeAndre Hopkins and

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, along with safeties Budda Baker (thumb) and Chris Banjo (hamstring). There hasn’t been anything on Hopkins’ injury, so the Cardinals may just be playing it safe and giving the veteran some rest early in the week. Nuk should be just fine to face the Panthers in Week 4, where he will continue to

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a solid starting option this week against Detroit. Lutz has been reliable this season, going 6-for-6 in field-goal attempts and 10-for-10 in extra point attempts. Playing on an offense that can generally move the ball, Lutz is a fine starting option against a Lions team that is middle-tier in points allowed to kickers. Source: NFL.com

The New Orleans Saints Defense is not a viable streaming option this week against the Lions. After a terrific Week 1, this unit has struggled the past two weeks against the Raiders and Packers even with star-studded names playing on this side of the ball for New Orleans. Ultimately, they allowed 34 points in Week 2 and 37 in Week 3. The Lions don’t have

If active, New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook would be a low-end TE1 against a Lions team that has been somewhat stingy at covering tight ends. Cook sustained a groin injury in the Week 3 loss to Green Bay and missed practice Wednesday, which doesn’t sound too encouraging. If he ultimately cannot suit up, the New Orleans tight ends should be avoided for this

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is a flex option in Week 4 against a Detroit team allowing the 10th most points to fantasy receivers. Sanders has had a disappointing start with the Saints, only seeing 15 and 18 yards in the first two weeks before finally getting 56 yards and a score in Week 3. The veteran offered an encouraging performance the last

If active, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas would be a WR1 in this week’s matchup with Detroit. Thomas has been nursing an ankle injury and has missed the past two games. He returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion and it’s still uncertain as to whether he will play on Sunday. If he does, he’s a starter, and if he doesn’t,

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is only a low-tier flex option for this week against Detroit. With Alvin Kamara handling RB1 duties on the team, Murray hasn’t seen more than 58 rush yards and 19 receiving yards in any contest thus far. He’s only worth considering if your team has been hit by injuries or is affected by the Steelers-Titans postponement, but he

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 in this week’s clash against the Lions. With Michael Thomas out the past couple of weeks, Kamara has been putting up herculean numbers as his receiving totals have been off the charts. He posted 139 receiving yards in Week 3 and 95 in Week 2. Regardless of whether Thomas returns, the RB’s role is

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a QB2 for this week’s matchup against the Lions. The veteran hasn’t been the most explosive fantasy option this season and there has also been speculation of his decline. While he’s still putting up serviceable numbers, they haven’t been consistent. He tossed three touchdowns in Week 3, but managed only one touchdown and one pick in Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (neck) will be placed on Injured Reserve with a neck issue. Ford suffered the injury in Week 1 and hasn’t played since. It’s unclear how long he’ll be out, but he’ll be forced to miss at least the next three weeks while on IR. San Francisco’s defense has been hurt by injuries early in the 2020 season, most

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that tight end George Kittle (knee) is a full-go at practice on Wednesday. It means that Kittle should return in Week 4 against the Eagles after missing the last two games. It’s perfect timing, too, with Jordan Reed going on Injured Reserve. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) looks set to miss his second straight game this weekend, but

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is the team’s starter over Nick Mullens when he’s healthy. Garoppolo missed last week and Mullens threw for over 300 yards and a touchdown against the winless Giants, but the Niners are making it clear that Jimmy G is the starter when he’s ready to return. He missed Wednesday’s practice, though, making

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games with an ankle sprain. Thomas was moving well during the portion of practice open to the media, but he’ll have to prove he’s not at risk of aggravating his ankle if he plays in Week 4 against the Lions. The 27-year-old All-Pro is pushing to play
