Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) is trending toward playing against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4 with a heel injury that he said has left him "hurting" since training camp. Allen, 32, practiced in full on Friday for the first time since Week 1 and was deemed questionable on the final injury report after missing each of the last two games. The Bears held him out of football activities the last two weeks before he returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday and Thursday. Allen said he dealt with a similar injury in 2023 and classified it as "a wear-and-tear type of deal." He doesn't think this injury will hinder him the remainder of the season. With Allen sidelined in the Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, rookie first-rounder Rome Odunze went off for six catches, 112 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Allen will be a shaky flex play if he's active, although he did see 11 targets in Week 1.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall has scored a touchdown in all three of his games this season while racking up 170 rushing yards and 16 catches for 120 yards. He will look to stay hot in a home game against the Denver Broncos in Week 4. The Broncos have been middle-of-the-road against running backs this season, allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Even while splitting carries with talented rookie Braelon Allen, Hall has been one of the most dynamic running backs in the league and is a must-start as a top-three fantasy running back heading into Week 4.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) missed practice all week and has officially been ruled out of the Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday. Defensive lineman Calijah Kancey (calf) has also been ruled out, while nose tackle Vita Vea (knee) is questionable to play. Winfield is missing his third straight game after injuring his foot in the Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders. Tampa's secondary will be especially vulnerable with the 26-year-old out again, although they could get a break this weekend if both Eagles receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) are out (Smith has already been ruled out). The Buccaneers are on a short turnaround in Week 5 with a Thursday night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, so there's a good chance Winfield still won't be ready by then. In IDP fantasy leagues, Winfield needs to remain stashed while he heals.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned in his best game of the season in a Week 3 win over the New England Patriots, throwing for 281 yards and two touchdowns. He will look to build upon that performance in Week 4's home matchup against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos have been tough on opposing quarterbacks this season, allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to the position through three games. Rodgers has gotten progressively better each game this season and is a decent option as a QB2 in superflex leagues but the matchup isn't ideal this weekend. Treat Rodgers as a low-end QB2 in fantasy in Week 4.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a rough performance against the Denver Broncos last week. The veteran signal-caller completed 25-of-33 passing attempts for 163 passing yards and one touchdown with one interception in the loss. Mayfield has been held to two total touchdowns and less than 190 passing yards over the last two games. Mayfield had an awesome season opener, but has come back down to Earth. It's not all his fault as the Bucs offensive line is giving Mayfield nearly no time in the pocket. It wouldn't get any easier for Mayfield against the Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 4. A defense that has done a nice job against the pass this season. The Bucs o-line gave up seven sacks last week, so if they can hold up, Mayfield should have a better day. However, that's unlikely to happen, so Mayfield should remain on the QB2 radar.

The Cleveland Browns defense will head on the road to take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. Cleveland's defense has been solid through three games, notching nine sacks, good for the 10th-most in the league. The Raiders will turn back to Gardner Minshew II under center after benching him for Aiden O'Connell last week, but Minshew is on a short leash after throwing just three touchdowns and three interceptions through the first three games of the season and failing to earn a vote of confidence from head coach Antonio Pierce during the week. That being said, the Browns defense comes into Week 4 rather banged up as Myles Garrett (foot, Achilles, thigh), Jordan Hicks (ribs, elbow), and Mike Ford (knee) all missed some practice time this week with their respective injuries. The Browns are 1.5-point road favorites in a game with a low over/under of 36.5 points, so fantasy managers can feel confident starting the unit as a top-10 option this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (hamstring) has been given a questionable tag to play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Irving was limited in practice on Wednesday, didn't practice on Thursday and returned to a limited practice on Friday. The 22-year-old fourth-rounder has been more productive than Rachaad White through the first three weeks, which could lead to more touches moving forward, but his status is in question for the weekend. Irving so far has 30 total touches for 182 scrimmage yards and has looked much more elusive and explosive with the ball in his hands. Even if Irving is a shaky RB3/flex play this Sunday against the Eagles, he's deserving of a stash in most fantasy formats, regardless of whether you also have White. If Irving is unable to get the green light to play in Week 4, it will make White a more appealing RB3/flex play himself, while Sean Tucker would serve as the direct backup to White.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has failed to eclipse over 35 rushing yards through the first three games of the season. Luckily, White's ability in the receiving game has helped salvage his fantasy value. At this point, it's unclear if the Bucs are going to ride with White as the early down back. Instead, Bucky Irving could get the a majority of the rushing attempts while White works as the primary pass catcher in the backfield. Fantasy managers in high PPR leagues should still be able to get decent value from White because of his receiving ability. However, he's unlikely to have much success on the ground against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4. White is going to fall into the low-end RB2 mix until he proves he can run the ball.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Friday and is now doubtful to be able to play in Week 4 on Sunday against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. McMillan was officially listed as limited in Friday's practice. Mike Evans (knee) and Chris Godwin (neck) were also on this week's injury report, but the two wideouts have since been cleared to play this weekend. With McMillan now unlikely to face Philly, Trey Palmer will step in as the team's WR3 for at least one week in a very nice matchup. The second-year wideout has only seen three targets through the first three weeks, catching one of them for a 19-yard gain, so he'll only be a deep WR4/flex sleeper worth considering in much deeper fantasy leagues this week. McMillan has exactly one catch in each of his first three NFL games, going for 59 yards and one touchdown.

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins has been accurate thus far in 2024, hitting four of his five field goals and all four of his extra points through three games. He will look to keep it going in a road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. The Raiders have been generous to opposing kickers this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Hopkins has shown a big leg, hitting two kicks from 50+ yards and 10 from that distance since 2023, but the Cleveland offense has generally underwhelmed due to poor play from Deshaun Watson and multiple injuries across the offensive line. That makes Hopkins tough to trust as a starting kicker in fantasy heading into Week 4 against the Raiders.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (knee) and Chris Godwin (neck) were both on the injury report this week but were officially cleared to play in Week 4 against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Evans was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before being held out of Friday's practice for rest purposes, while Godwin was limited all week. The Bucs were apparently resting their top two wideouts this week as they deal with minor injuries. Both of them will be available this weekend and should be considered must-starts in fantasy lineups against an Eagles defense that has allowed the fourth-most half-PPR fantasy points to the position through the season's first three weeks. Evans, in particular, could get the squeaky wheel treatment on Sunday after catching just two passes for 17 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Denver Broncos. Godwin has found the end zone in each of the team's first three games.

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins will get another turn as the team's starter with David Njoku (ankle) ruled out for a Week 4 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Akins drew seven targets in Week 3, but he turned those looks into just four catches for 29 yards in the loss to the New York Giants. He will go against a Raiders defense allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends in 2024. Akins holds some value as an option in two tight-end leagues but he is not a starting option outside of that format. Great him as a high-end TE3 heading into the weekend.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (Achilles, foot, thigh) has been cleared to play in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders and wasn't listed on the final injury report on Friday. It's clear that Garrett isn't 100 percent healthy and may not be at all the rest of the year, but he's going to play through his injuries for now. The All-Pro pass-rusher didn't practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and was a full-go on Friday. The 28-year-old reportedly could eventually need surgery on his foot, but he'll be trying to put that off until the offseason. With a potential limited snap count, Garrett will be a more volatile IDP fantasy option. As long as he's on the field, though, he's worth starting in those fantasy formats, especially against a lackluster Raiders offense that will be missing their top receiver in Davante Adams (hamstring) in Week 4.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper shook off a slow start to the season to catch two touchdowns in a Week 3 loss to the New York Giants. Cooper will look to do more damage in a road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. The Raiders have been generous to fantasy wideouts in 2024, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Cooper has been pretty boom/bust in this current iteration of the Cleveland offense but the matchup is good and he remains the No. 1 option in the passing attack for the Browns. Treat Cooper as a low-end WR2 heading into Week 4 against Las Vegas.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was quiet in a Week 3 loss, catching just four passes for 27 yards. He will look to bounce back in a road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. The Raiders represent a plus matchup for Jeudy as they are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wideouts through three games. That being said, the Cleveland passing attack has looked rough at times this season and Amari Cooper reminded everyone why he's the top receiver in town with seven catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns last week. Jeudy can be treated as a low-end flex option heading into Week 4.

Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman has been tough to predict through three games. The veteran saw just one snap in Week 1 then led the Cleveland backfield with 14 carries in Week 2. In Week 3 he was back to being an afterthought with just two carries in a loss to the New York Giants. Foreman will look for a larger share of the workload in a road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. The Raiders have been a great matchup for running backs this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position through three games. The unpredictable nature of Foreman's workload on a weekly basis leaves him as a low-end flex option who has a very high risk of busting. He's best left on fantasy benches in Week 4.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (knee) has been cleared to play in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday after putting in a full practice on Friday. Ford was held out of practice on Wednesday, creating some uncertainty about his status this week, but he returned to a limited session the following day. Fellow RB Pierre Strong Jr. (hamstring) missed practice all week and will be held out again this weekend. The Browns have involved D'Onta Foreman some, but Ford remains the team's lead back for as long as Nick Chubb (knee) remains out. The 25-year-old Ford has 39 total touches for 203 yards and one touchdown through three games in 2024 and will enter the Week 4 contest in Vegas as an RB3/flex play for fantasy managers against a banged-up Raiders defense. The Raiders defense has been extremely vulnerable on the ground early on, so Ford has considerable upside in this matchup this week.

The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams unit will draw a tough assignment as they head home to face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The Packers were able to tee off on Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans to the tune of eight sacks, two interceptions, a fumble recovery, and a touchdown in Week 3 as the top-scoring fantasy defense on the week. With the Vikings heading to town riding the hot hand of Sam Darnold, plus Justin Jefferson, former Packer Aaron Jones, and the return of Jordan Addison, the Vikings will be a tall order to stop on all fronts. Look for the Packers to have some success but ultimately, be a middling option on the week for fantasy lineups.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Kamara started out the week with a DNP on Wednesday before he was limited in practice on both Thursday and Friday. The fact that the 29-year-old got in two straight days of practice puts him on the right side of questionable leading into Sunday's divisional clash, but fantasy managers will still want to check the Sunday morning inactives list to be sure. If Kamara is out or limited at all, it will mean more work for backup Jamaal Williams. Kamara, who has been a big part of the Saints' offense through three weeks, could see even more work through the air if he suits up and receiver Chris Olave (hamstring). Tight end Taysom Hill is another option for backfield work if Kamara is inactive this week. If active, Kamara needs to be started in all fantasy lineups as a clear-cut RB1.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled in a home loss to the New York Giants in Week 3, throwing two touchdown passes but getting sacked eight times on 37 pass attempts. He will look to get back on track in a road game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. The Raiders have been relatively generous to opposing quarterbacks so far this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Watson hasn't done much to inspire confidence in him in fantasy this season, throwing just three touchdowns and two interceptions through three games. Still looking for his first 200-yard passing game this season, Watson should be on benches in fantasy as a low-end QB2 heading into Week 4's matchup.
