Tyrone Tracy likely back for TNF vs. Philly
Missed two games with shoulder injury
By: Doug Orth | Oct 7 2025, 7:00 pm
|
Brian Daboll is optimistic RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) will be able to make his return Thursday night. (New York Post - Paul Schwartz)
FFToday's Take: While Cam Skattebo has not exactly been efficient in Tracy's absence, he likely did enough with his opportunities over the last two games to hold onto the lead-back role in New York. Then again, Skattebo isn't getting much help from his o-line and no longer has any weapons in the passing game around to scare defenses. Assuming Tracy is active for Week 6, he should be considered a desperation flex option against the Eagles.

Brenton Strange put on IR
Set to miss at least four games with lower body injury
By: Doug Orth | Oct 7 2025, 6:50 pm
|
Jaguars TE Brenton Strange placed on injured reserve. He was having an excellent season as complete 3-down TE.
I talked to Strange in locker room postgame and he wasn’t optimistic about his hip/quad injury. He said win helps and he’ll eventually be OK but was bummed. (NFL Network - Cameron Wolfe)
FFToday's Take: Strange sits as the overall TE20 after five weeks, although his early departure in Week 5 is part of the reason he isn't higher. The other part is that he is one of only three tight ends (Dalton Schultz and Mason Taylor being the others) who have at least 20 catches and no touchdowns. Hunter Long figures to pick up most of the reps Strange leaves behind and should move onto the low-end TE2 radar while he is recovering.

Trade: Bengals acquire QB Joe Flacco from Browns
Bengals trying to save their season
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 7 2025, 1:13 pm
|
Trade: Browns are trading QB Joe Flacco and a 6th-round pick to the Bengals for a 5th-round pick. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Jake Browning has thrown 6 TDs and 8 INTs since taking over for Joe Burrow in Week 2. He looked particularly bad against the Lions in Week 5 (251-3-3), making numerous poor decisions before taking on a couple garbage time TDs. Flacco should draw some interest in 2-QB and Superflex leagues but isn't going to move the needle for Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins as the offensive line remains a serious problem. Look for the Bengals to push Flacco to start in Week 6 against the Packers.

Saquon Barkley should be good to go for Week 6
RB had DNP on Monday but reportedly only dealing with knee soreness
By: Doug Orth | Oct 6 2025, 7:00 pm
|
Source on Saquon Barkley: He had general soreness coming out of the game and fully expects to play Thursday night against the #Giants. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Monday practice reports for upcoming Thursday night games are typcially "estimates," which can occasionally create panic among fantasy managers. All told, managers probably have a right to be encouraged by the fact that Barkley is coming off one of his best fantasy efforts of the season despite only logging nine touches in Week 5. Assuming the knee checks out, he should be relatively fresh for his #RevengeGame meeting in New York against the Giants.

Omarion Hampton headed to injured reserve
RB to miss next four games with Week 5 ankle injury
By: Doug Orth | Oct 6 2025, 6:50 pm
|
Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton will be placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury, coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday. By going on IR, Hampton will miss at least the next four games.
Hampton appeared to suffer the injury on a fourth-and-2 play with 1:53 remaining in the third quarter of the Chargers' 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The first-round rookie tripped over Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu and came up limping. Hampton didn't return to the game and left the stadium with a walking boot on his left foot. (ESPN.com - Kris Rhim)
FFToday's Take: The 2025 season refuses to let fantasy managers have nice things for very long. Two weeks after taking over the Chargers' backfield following Najee Harris' Achilles injury, the rookie first-rounder will be sidelined through at least Week 9. Hassan Haskins will be expected to handle the early-down duties in his absence, while Kimani Vidal should be entrusted with most of the receiving work. Considering the state of the Chargers' offensive line, both backs could struggle to maintain flex value.

Omarion Hampton may miss time with ankle injury
In a walking boot after the game
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 6 2025, 8:24 am
|
From @GMFB: #Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) may miss some time. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Hampton missed some time late in the loss to the Commanders but was on the sideline testing his ankle. The fact that he's in a walking doesn't mean the injury is severe. We probably won't get much information from HC Jim Harbaugh this week so we'll have to monitor Hampton's practice status closely. Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins would likely form some kind of timeshare if Hampton misses Week 6 against the Dolphins.

Saints activate TEs Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau
Hill expected to have a roll
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 4 2025, 4:01 pm
|
Saints activated TEs Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau and each is expected to play Sunday vs. the Giants. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Juwan Johnson is dealing with an ankle injury and is listed as Questionable for Week 5, so it's possible these two could fill a bigger role than anticipated. Hill is listed as a QB by the team, but even with a new coaching staff, he is expected to have some kind of multi-positional role in the offense this week. How much he plays remains to be seen. He's probably too risky to throw into lineups this week even if Johnson sits.

Brock Bowers trending towards missing Week 5
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 4 2025, 3:44 pm
|
#Raiders star TE Brock Bowers is trending toward not playing Sunday against the #Colts, per me and @TomPelissero. Bowers has been battling a knee injury.
While coach Pete Carroll expressed confidence in Bowers being out on the field, his knee didn’t respond. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Once again, Carroll's optimistic outlook for players dealing with injury is off the mark. The Raiders will also be with out Michael Mayer due to a concussion which means Ian Thomas and Albert Okwuegbunam will hold down the position. Neither are a recommended fantasy play.

Brock Bowers misses practice Friday, Questionable
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 3 2025, 4:56 pm
|
#Raiders TE Brock Bowers said he's not allowed to share the specifics of his knee injury, but added it's been frustrating to deal with.
"I want to be back to going full speed, being able to separate from guys. I feel like I can't really do that to the best of my abilities right now.” (Ryan McFadden on X)
FFToday's Take: Bowers missed practice Thursday and Friday and is listed as Questionable for Week 5. The ever optimistic head coach Pete Carrol stated: "We think he's playing, but we wanted to make sure and rest him." It's clear he's not 100 percent and he currently sits as the TE13 through four games. If he does take the field against the Colts, he should be viewed as a low-end TE1 option.

George Kittle likely to return in Week 7
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 3 2025, 3:08 pm
|
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters that TE George Kittle, who has been on IR due to a hamstring injury, is more likely to return in Week 7 vs. Atlanta than next week in Week 6 vs. Tampa Bay. A return for next Sunday is considered a “long shot.” (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Kittle injured his hamstring in Week 1 and has missed every game since. In his absence, Jake Tonges has been working as the receiving tight end for the 49ers and has has scored in back-to-back games. Kittle should move right into the top tier at the position once he returns. The 49ers have a bye in Week 14.

Chuba Hubbard misses practice Thursday, calf injury
2nd missed practice this week
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 2 2025, 2:07 pm
|
No Chuba Hubbard, second day in a row he’s missed with the calf injury. (Joe Person on X)
FFToday's Take: Hubbard was bothered by his calf injury last week and has now missed the first two practices to start the week. If he's eventually ruled out, we could see Rico Dowdle take over the lead back role for the Panthers. Dowdle would be an RB2 in this scenario against the Dolphins.

Braelon Allen headed to IR with knee injury
Out at least 4 weeks, maybe more
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 2 2025, 9:36 am
|
RB Braelon Allen (knee) will be placed on IR today, per source. Surgery is possible. Still being evaluated. Too early to say if it's season-ending, though this appears to be more than just a 4-week return. #Jets will make a corresponding roster move. (Rich Cimini on X)
FFToday's Take: The Jets No.2 running back was injured on a kickoff return in Week 4 and is now in danger of missing an extended amount of time. With Allen out, Breece Hall should get some extra work as the short-yardage and goaline back and Isaiah Davis will move into the back-up role. Davis is worth a look as a bench stash.

 |
Trey Benson has knee surgery, out 4-6 weeks
Placed on IR
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 1 2025, 1:13 pm
|
Injury update: Cardinals RB Trey Benson, who is being placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus and now is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Well, that escalated quickly. With Benson on the shelf, the Cardinals will likely turn to Michael Carter and Emari Demercado as their top two running backs. It's possible they could slide Carter into the early-down role and keep Demercado in the third-down, two-minute, pass-catching role. Both backs are waiver wire options this week but it's difficult to project either as more than a low-end RB2. Upcoming schedule for ARI is: TEN, @IND, GB, bye.

Trey Benson may sit in Week 5
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 1 2025, 11:02 am
|
Another RB whose status for Sunday is now in question: Cardinals RB Trey Benson. Near the end of last Thursday’s game vs. the Seahawks, Benson banged his knee. It is not thought to be serious, but his status for Sunday now is in question. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Cardinals signed Michael Carter to the 53-man roster and D'Ernest Johnson to the practice squad -- a good sign that Benson is likely to miss this week. Emari Demercado played mostly third downs last week along with entire final Arizona drive against Seattle. Some kind of committee between Demercado and Carter is likely what we'll see this week against the Titans. We'll likely get a better idea on the workload split later in the week.

Bucky Irving week-to-week with foot sprain
On crutches and in a walking boot
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 1 2025, 10:58 am
|
Buccaneers do not fear Bucky Irving’s foot sprain is a long-term injury, per source. The team considers it a week-to week-injury. He was spotted today at practice on crutches and in a walking boot. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: HC Todd Bowles said that a decision on Irving's playing status this week won't be made until Friday but as of now, it seems unlikely that he will play against the Seahawks. Expect Rachaad White and Sean Tucker to handle the running back duties this week. White will be in the RB2/Flex conversation given there are four teams on bye.

Browns make QB change, Dillon Gabriel will start Week 5
Joe Flacco will be the backup
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 1 2025, 8:24 am
|
Change in Cleveland: Browns are benching veteran QB Joe Flacco in favor of rookie QB Dillon Gabriel, per sources. The Browns were informed of the change this morning.
Gabriel’s first NFL start comes Sunday in London vs. the Vikings. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: We knew this move was coming at some point during the season. The time is now. The Browns have scored 16, 17, 13 and 10 points so far this season and Flacco has a grand total of 2 passing TDs to go along with 6 INTs. Gabriel's supporting cast just lost Cedric Tillman (hamstring) for a few weeks and will likely have a run-heavy gameplan against the Vikings in Week 5. He's not much of a fantasy option at the moment.

IR stint ahead for Braelon Allen
Suffered MCL sprain in Week 4 loss
By: Doug Orth | Sep 30 2025, 9:10 pm
|
#Jets RB Braelon Allen, who was ruled out last night with a knee injury, suffered an MCL sprain that will likely land him on Injured Reserve, sources say. Allen is expected to receive additional opinions. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Allen wasn't exactly turning it up as the player who was supposed to be the grinder back to complement Breece Hall entering the season. In his absence, expect Hall to handle at least 16 touches per week on a consistent basis and take over the goal-line work Allen had been handling. Isaiah Davis becomes an interesting name as well, since it seems fairly obvious that New York does not want one back handling all of the chores in this backfield.

Cedric Tillman lands on injured reserve
Strained hamstring early in Week 4
By: Doug Orth | Sep 30 2025, 9:00 pm
|
The #Browns placed WR Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on injured reserve and signed WRs Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: While being the leading receiver in Cleveland is not a big deal in the overall scheme of things, Tillman was the best fantasy producer of the bunch. In his absence, several Cleveland pass-catchers could benefit. The most likely is rookie Isaiah Bond, a speedster out of Texas who was an undrafted free agent due to a legal issue that popped in the days before the NFL Draft. Bond is not worthy of a start in most fantasy leagues, but there is a possibility that he comes close to replicating Tillman's production while he is sidelined.

Lamar Jackson dealing with hamstring injury
HC suggests QB had no chance of returning to game after Week 4 injury
By: Doug Orth | Sep 29 2025, 10:00 pm
|
"There was no way (Lamar Jackson) was going back into the game. The injury precluded it." (Ravens.com)
FFToday's Take: Harbaugh made it clear that Jackson's ability to keep playing against the Chiefs had nothing to do with the size of the Ravens' deficit and everything to do with the quarterback's ability to play through his hamstring issue. As a result, fantasy managers need to prepare as if Jackson may not be available against the Texans in Week 5 - at least for now. Cooper Rush would start if Jackson cannot and is not worth considering outside of superflex/two-quarterback leagues.

Calvin Ridley plays a part-time role in Week 4
HC told reporters that WR was "fighting through something" vs. HOU
By: Doug Orth | Sep 29 2025, 9:40 pm
|
Callahan says WR Calvin Ridley was fighting through something Sunday during the game. Ridley played 27 of 50 snaps. (AP - Teresa Walker)
FFToday's Take: Ridley did not appear on the injury report, so it is possible that a personal issue or illness happened at some point over the weekend. Although there has been nothing easy about the defenses Ridley has faced so far this season, it has become almost comical how poor his connection with Cam Ward has been (10-of-24). Although the Cardinals present perhaps the easiest matchup Tennessee has faced thus far, Ridley needs to be on the bench in most fantasy leagues now.

Tyreek Hill suffers significant knee injury in Week 4
Likely suffered dislocated knee
By: Doug Orth | Sep 29 2025, 9:00 pm
|
Dolphins fear WR Tyreek Hill dislocated his knee, per source. Hill is an ambulance on the way to the hospital to confirm.
(ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Hill was almost immediately ruled out. The likelihood is that his season is over, although there will be plenty of time for the team to confirm that in the days ahead. Assuming Hill is done for 2025, Jaylen Waddle will step into the lead receiver role in Miami and could push for top 20 status at his position. Malik Washington because a high-priority add off the waiver wire this week and should be considered a flex option at worst. Last but not least, Darren Waller has a shoot at being a top 15 tight end the rest of the way.

MRI confirms torn ACL for Malik Nabers
Giants suffer huge blow to passing game
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 29 2025, 11:14 am
|
An MRI today confirmed that Giants standout WR Malik Nabers suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: It's a tough loss for the Giants who have turned to rookie Jaxson Dart at quarterback. Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt should be the top wideouts moving forward. TE Theo Johnson saw increased looks (5) yesterday once Nabers left. Assuming surgery and rehab go well, it's possible for Nabers to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season.

Jaylen Warren Inactive for Week 4
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 28 2025, 8:08 am
|
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is INACTIVE.
Warren popped up with a knee issue earlier in the week. He came out early to warm up, but team ultimately decides to make him inactive. That’s a big loss for the backfield. Kenneth Gainwell, Kaleb Johnson and Trey Sermon have a big task (Brooke Pryor on X)
FFToday's Take: Adam Schefter reported Saturday that Warren was expected to play but the Steelers decided to play it safe with their starting running back. Gainwell moves into the low-end RB2 conversation and could we finally see some action from rookie Kaleb Johnson? He's had 2 touches for minus-1 yard to start the season.

Jauan Jennings expected to play but could be limited
49ers receiver dealing with ankle and shoulder issues
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 27 2025, 11:17 pm
|
Both 49ers WRs listed as questionable for Sunday - Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (shoulder, ankle) - are expected to play Sunday vs. the Jaguars, but Jennings also is likely to be limited, per sources. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Jennings missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, then got in a limited session on Friday after missing Week 3 with ankle and shoulder injuries. He's going to be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups this week given the "likely to be limited" quote from Schefter. Brock Purdy will be back in at quarterback and we expect Pearsall to lead the team in receiving.

|
 |
TE Colston Loveland not expected to play in Week 4
Hip injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 27 2025, 2:28 pm
|
Bears TE Colston Loveland is not expected to play Sunday vs. the Raiders due to his hip injury, per source.
Bears elevated tight end Stephen Carlson from their practice squad for Sunday’s game at Las Vegas. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Bears rookie tight end got in a limited practice on Friday... his only practice of the week. Cole Kmet has played over 90 percent of the snaps so far this season but has just a 7.4% target share. Loveland being out certainly helps Kmet's outlook but it's not the boost you might think. Still, he's a decent TE2 dart throw and a cheap DFS option if you need help at the position.

Jaylen Warren expected to play Week 4
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 27 2025, 11:09 am
|
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren, who was added to the injury report on Friday with a knee injury, is expected to play Sunday in Dublin vs. the Vikings, per league source.
But Steelers also elevated RB Trey Sermon today from their practice squad. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Late-week additions the injury report aren't great but it sounds like Warren is going to be on the field this week against the Vikings. Warren handled 23 touches last week against the Patriots and currently sits as the RB16 in half-PPR leagues. The Vikings have allowed the 10th fewest fantasy points to running backs early in the season.

Justin Fields practices Friday, on track to play Monday
Still in concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 26 2025, 4:13 pm
|
#Jets QB Justin Fields (concussion) was a full participant in practice again today, keeping him on track to return Monday night at Miami, pending clearance by an independent neurologist.
Meanwhile, #Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) returned to full participation. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Fields has yet to be cleared from the concussion protocol but he's on the right path. Hopefully we get confirmation on Sunday morning. If he's unable to play, Tyrod Taylor would get the start against the Dolphins. Taylor posted a 197-2-1, 8-48-0 line against the Bucs last week.

Xavier Worthy is expected to play, Week 4
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 26 2025, 2:11 pm
|
Andy Reid said everyone but rookie DE Ashton Gillotte (illness) participated in today's practice. Reid said Gillotte should be fine for Sunday's game.
Reid said Xavier Worthy is expected to play.
"He's been able to keep himself in good shape," Reid said of Worthy. (Nate Taylor on X)
FFToday's Take: Worthy has basically missed every game to start the season as he played just 3 snaps before being injured in Week 1. As of now, it doesn't appear that he's going to be limited so fantasy owners can plug him in as a WR3. Worthy's arrival in the lineup may impact the playing time of Tyquan Thornton who payed 76.4% of snaps last week.

Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin ruled Out for Week 4
McLaurin week-to-week
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 26 2025, 12:48 pm
|
Dan Quinn has officially ruled out Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin for Sunday. Doctors didn’t clear Daniels, while McLaurin is week to week. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Commanders will roll with Marcus Mariota for a second straight week at quarterback while their receiver room loses it's top option. Mariota posted a rushing line of 6-40-1 last week against the Raiders and will need something similar this week to pay off a QB1 performance against the Falcons. Deebo Samuel stands to benefit from McLaurin's absence.

GM Lynch: Brandon Aiyuk "not close" to returning
Knee injury suffered mid-October last season
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 25 2025, 12:44 pm
|
49ers GM John Lynch told @KNBR that WR Brandon Aiyuk is “not close” to returning from the knee injury he suffered almost a year ago. There was more damage than just to the ACL, and more recovery time is required. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: In the pre-season we were thinking a mid-October return was possible. That doesn't seem likely now. Aiyuk is eligible to come off the PUP list next week but it may be a bit before he gets back on the practice field.
|
|
 |
Zach Charbonnet listed as Questionable for Week 4
Full practice all week
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 24 2025, 7:58 pm
|
Of the three who are questionable, Zach Charbonnet and Mafe were full participants today while Bradford was limited. (Brady Henderson on X)
FFToday's Take: Charbonnet missed Week 3 with a foot injury but was listed as a full participant in practice everyday this week so it's somewhat interesting that he's listed as Questionable for Week 4. For now, it appears he will return to action and likely work in a split backfield with Kenneth Walker against the Cardinals.

Xavier Worthy could return in Week 4
WR likely to play limited role due to shoulder injury
By: Doug Orth | Sep 23 2025, 9:40 pm
|
The Chiefs are optimistic Xavier Worthy will be able to play a limited role for the offense while wearing a small harness. (ESPN.com - Nate Taylor)
FFToday's Take: Although Marquise Brown has absorbed most of Worthy's short targets since he left with his shoulder injury in Week 1, Tyquan Thornton has emerged as the Chiefs' primary receiver over the last two-plus games. It remains to be seen if Thornton can hold onto a regular field-stretching role when Rashee Rice (suspension) is back and Worthy is feeling better, but the former Patriot surprisingly has value in deeper leagues right now.

Mike Evans likely to miss a month
Suffered hamstring injury in Week 3
By: Doug Orth | Sep 23 2025, 9:30 pm
|
Bucs WR Mike Evans will miss 3-4 weeks with a moderate hamstring strain. (Tampa Bay Times - Rick Stroud)
FFToday's Take: This is more of an update to Monday's report than breaking news. While it makes him a candidate for IR, it seems more likely the Bucs will pray for the most optimistic projection and hope to get him back by Week 7. In his absence, Emeka Egbuka becomes the unquestioned alpha for at least a couple of weeks, assuming Chris Godwin (ankle) can return in that time. Sterling Shepard is worth adding in most leagues and could be considered a viable flex option in deeper formats.

Quad injury has Terry McLaurin iffy for Week 4
Getting additional opinions
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 23 2025, 12:35 pm
|
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is getting additional opinions on the quad injury he suffered Sunday and his status for this week’s game at Atlanta is up in the air, per sources. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: This doesn't sound good for McLaurin or the Commanders who have lost Austin Ekeler for the season and were without QB Jayden Daniels (knee) in Week 3. Chris Moore (56.9%) and Luke McCaffrey (36.2%) played significant snaps last week and could see bigger roles this week if McLaurin misses.

Russell Wilson to the bench, Jaxson Dart to start Week 4
Giants make a change at QB
By: Doug Orth | Sep 23 2025, 12:26 pm
|
A QB change: Giants are planning to start rookie Jaxson Dart on Sunday vs. the Chargers, sources told ESPN. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: We knew this was coming, it was only a question of when. The Giants have started the season 0-3 and Wilson (160-0-2) had a bad showing last week against the Chiefs. Dart will face the Chargers in Week 4 and will likely have Cam Skattebo as his starting running back while Tryone Tracy Jr. is out with a shoulder injury. Dart's rushing ability gives him some fantasy appeal as high-end QB2.

Tyrone Tracy to miss a few games
Suffered a dislocated shoulder in Week 3
By: Doug Orth | Sep 22 2025, 11:55 pm
|
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. dislocated his shoulder in the first half of Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs and is expected to miss some time, per sources. He had seven carries for 29 yards prior to injury.
Rookie Cam Skattebo will likely step into a bigger role with Tracy sidelined. (ESPN.com - Jordan Raanan)
FFToday's Take: While the length of Tracy's absence will depend on the severity of the injury, it seems like a good bet he will miss at least two games and possibly a month. With three games over the next 2 1/2 weeks, Tracy will most likely not return until at least Week 7. His absence may be long enough to convince the coaching staff to make the transition to Cam Skattebo to the primary back, assuming the rookie takes advantage of the opportunity in the meantime.

Mike Evans dealing with minor hamstring strain
Status for Week 4 uncertain
By: Doug Orth | Sep 22 2025, 11:50 pm
|
While #Bucs coach Todd Bowles said the team does not have MRI results for star WR Mike Evans, he termed the injury as "low-grade" based on the initial diagnosis. A good sign that it won't be long-term. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Considering Evans' recent history with hamstring injuries, he should be expected to miss at least one week, which means he unlikely to play in Week 4 versus the Eagles. There is a chance Chris Godwin (ankle) will be ready to make his season debut, so the Tampa Bay passing game may not miss Evans all that much if his recovery does not take all that long. It also means Emeka Egbuka should remain firmly in the WR2 ranks for at least one more week.

High ankle sprain for CeeDee Lamb
Unlikely to play in Week 4
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 22 2025, 2:15 pm
|
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Bears that makes him unlikely to play Sunday night vs. the Packers, per sources. The Cowboys want to see how Lamb is doing the next 10-14 days before making further determinations about his status. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: This all but knocks Lamb out of next week's game versus Green Bay and probably for the next 2-4 weeks. High ankle sprains are difficult injuries to return from quickly, especially for skill position players. Lamb played through a shoulder issue last season but was limited in a few games. The Cowboys have a bye in Week 10.

Season-ending ankle injury for James Conner
Will require surgery
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 21 2025, 9:30 pm
|
Cardinals RB James Conner did in fact suffer a season-ending injury to his right ankle that will require surgery, per source. The injury is considered “severe”, even if the team does not yet know the full extent of the damage. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Conner was tackled awkwardly in the third quarter and eventually carted off the field. His loss will be significant to the Cardinals offense as he was operating as their lead back. Trey Benson will take over that role with Emari Demercado working in as a change of pace option. Benson broke off a 29-yard run in this game but his other nine carries resulted in just 13 yards.

#Chargers RB Najee Harris suffered an Achilles injury, coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed. He’s having imaging now, but with an Achilles, there is not a lot of optimism. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Harris went down without any contact and had to be carted off the field. The Chargers are expecting to get confirmation of the injury tomorrow. Omarion Hampton went on to touch the ball 25 times in the Chargers victory over the Broncos. He's setup for a bellcow role the rest of the season. Backup Hassan Haskins has played two snaps through three games.
