🚨 Player News:
Tyson Bagent (CHI) – He'll start Week 4 against the Jets with Caleb Williams (hamstring) still out. Bagent first stepped in for Williams in Week 2, then missed Week 3 in concussion protocol while Case Keenum started. With Ben Johnson calling plays, he's a viable super-flex option this week. (Dan Wiederer)
Micah Parsons (GB) – He's not expected to practice next week as he works back from last season's torn ACL, and a November return is possible. There have been no setbacks, but the Packers haven't opened his 21-day practice window yet. Green Bay is 1-2 and has gone 1-8 without him over the past two years, so the Packers' D/ST and IDP outlooks stay muted until he's back. (Tom Pelissero)
Seahawks ownership – New owner Vinod Khosla says he has "no current plans to change anything," including the coach, front office or Lumen Field. He stopped short of a firm long-term commitment to Seattle, with the stadium lease running through 2032. There is no fantasy impact here, so it's a file-away item for now. (Dan Primack)
Mason Graham (CLE) – The Browns think their second-year DT avoided a significant knee injury suffered Thursday night against the Steelers. He'll have an MRI Friday to confirm. Graham has been an IDP stud so far (15 tackles, six TFLs, four sacks in four games), and if he avoids IR, a return within three weeks seems possible. (Ian Rapoport)
DeVonta Smith (PHI) – The Eagles are preparing to play without him against the Rams after his hamstring flared up following last week's 6-65 outing. Dontayvion Wicks is expected to step in as Philadelphia's top receiver and is worth a look in deeper leagues. (Tim McManus)
Joey Porter Jr. (DAL) – The Steelers have traded Porter to Dallas for a second-round pick and a conditional sixth. He hasn't played a snap in 2026 because of a back injury and a contract dispute, but if he's healthy he should be a big upgrade for a Cowboys secondary that has struggled badly against the pass through three weeks. Opposing WR matchups against Dallas may get tougher soon. (Tom Pelissero)
Jameson Williams (DET) – Williams will not face assault charges from an August 6th incident. The Oakland County Prosecutor's office and Novi Police jointly found "no cause to file charges." He's expected to play in Week 4 against Carolina, so fire him up as usual. (Dave Birkett)
Jaylen Waddle (DEN) – He was spotted in a walking boot after Sunday night's win over the Rams, but the Broncos reportedly say he's "fine." The boot may have been precautionary. Watch Wednesday's practice report before locking him in. (Sam Jane)
Jayden Daniels (WAS) – His elbow will likely need surgery after the season, but he's putting it off to play now. He isn't expected to suit up this week, though he'll practice in some capacity and could return "sooner rather than later." A setback or a Commanders slide could change the calculus. (Adam Schefter)
