Week 4 Rankings<\/a> | Expert chat (noon-1 p.m. ET)<\/a><\/p>\n
What we’re watching for early<\/p>\n
The Minnesota Vikings<\/a> and Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> square off in Ireland, with a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff time. Inactives for this game are scheduled to come out at around 8:00 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n Jaylen Warren<\/a>, RB, PIT (knee): He got added to the injury report on Friday as a precaution, but all signs point to Warren being able to play on Sunday.<\/p>\n Jonnu Smith<\/a>, TE, PIT (hip): Limited practice and international travel rarely result in good news. Even if Smith does suit up, you can probably find better fantasy TE options.<\/p>\n Chuba Hubbard<\/a>, RB, CAR (calf): He’s currently expected to play and get a normal number of touches for Carolina.<\/p>\n Tetairoa McMillan<\/a>, WR, CAR (calf): A pair of limited practices is concerning, but it does seem like McMillan will suit up on Sunday.<\/p>\n Baker Mayfield<\/a>, QB, TB (biceps): Despite the “questionable” tag, everyone fully expects Mayfield to be under center in Week 4.<\/p>\n Chris Godwin Jr<\/a>., WR, TB (ankle): Godwin will make his 2025 debut in Week 4. We’ll see how his presence impacts rookie Emeka Egbuka<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ruled out before Sunday<\/p>\n Ja’Tavion Sanders<\/a>, TE, CAR (ankle): Expect Tommy Tremble<\/a> to step up in place of the Panthers’ top tight end.<\/p>\n Xavier Legette<\/a>, WR, CAR (hamstring): David Moore<\/a> should once again step in for Legette.<\/p>\n CeeDee Lamb<\/a>, WR, DAL (ankle): George Pickens<\/a> should be the biggest WR beneficiary of Lamb’s absence, but TE Jake Ferguson<\/a> should also see an uptick in usage.<\/p>\n Alec Pierce<\/a>, WR, IND (concussion): Adonai Mitchell<\/a> will step into Pierce’s role this week — and perhaps next week as well if Pierce doesn’t clear the league’s protocol.<\/p>\n Will Dissly<\/a>, TE, LAC (knee): Oronde Gadsden II<\/a> filled in nicely for Dissly last week and could do so again.<\/p>\n J.J. McCarthy<\/a>, QB, MIN (ankle): Carson Wentz<\/a> will start again for the Vikings and there’s a chance he’ll be in there for several weeks more as McCarthy’s mobility is really poor.<\/p>\n Graham Gano<\/a>, K, NYG (groin): Gano has been placed on IR. Jude McAtamney<\/a> beat out Younghoe Koo<\/a> to win the now-open kicking job.<\/p>\n Tyrone Tracy Jr<\/a>., RB, NYG (shoulder): Cam Skattebo<\/a> will take over No. 1 RB duties for at least 2-4 weeks.<\/p>\n Mike Evans<\/a>, WR, TB (hamstring): The emergence of rookie WR Egbuka certainly makes Evans’ continued absence tolerable for Tampa Bay fans, though perhaps not for fantasy managers who drafted Evans.<\/p>\n What we’re watching for late Isaiah Likely<\/a>, TE, BAL (foot): It’s looking as though Likely will be in uniform on Sunday, which could lower the fantasy value of Mark Andrews<\/a>.<\/p>\n D’Andre Swift<\/a>, RB, CHI (hip): His performance hasn’t exactly been stellar so far, but it does seem like Swift will try to right the ship on Sunday.<\/p>\n Colston Loveland<\/a>, TE, CHI (hip): Loveland is not expected to play in Week 4, leaving Cole Kmet<\/a> as the most-likely TE target in Chicago.<\/p>\n Dyami Brown<\/a>, WR, JAX (shoulder): There’s a chance he’ll be able to suit up, but keep in mind that Parker Washington<\/a> led the Jaguars in targets last week.<\/p>\n Tyler Higbee<\/a>, TE, LAR (hip): Both Higbee and Colby Parkinson<\/a> (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday’s game, which could mean Terrance Ferguson<\/a> or Davis Allen<\/a> might end up with some fantasy points.<\/p>\n Davante Adams<\/a>, WR, LAR (hamstring): While it’s always good to have a pivot in place, especially for 4 p.m. starts, Adams does have a good chance at starting in Week 4.<\/p>\n Michael Mayer<\/a>, TE, LV (hamstring): With Mayer out, there’s no reason for Brock Bowers<\/a> not to be targeted early and often by Geno Smith<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mac Jones<\/a>, QB, SF (knee): Brock Purdy<\/a> has indeed been cleared to play, so the timing of Jones’ injury is pretty fortuitous for the 49ers.<\/p>\nDavante Adams could well find the end zone in Week 4 if his hamstring holds up enough for him to play.\u00a0Bill Streicher-Imagn Images<\/p>\n
