As always - I spent a few hours reading injury reports this week - so you don’t have to.
Here’s the most important takeaways for your fantasy football leagues in Week 4:
#20 Davante Adams is OUT
He injured his hamstring in practice on Thursday. This could become a multi-week injury. Tre Tucker now becomes a deeper league add…

He was able to practice in limited fashion on Friday. But the Eagles have their bye in Week 5. They could hold Brown out because of this…

#17 Chris Olave is questionable
He was on the Friday injury report with a hamstring issue. It appears to be minor – but hamstrings can easily be re-injured. If Olave can’t play – Rashid Shaheed becomes a must start...
#16 Kenneth Walker is trending to play
He’s been practicing for the 1st time since Week 1. If Walker plays - he's a Top 24 FLEX option. Walker has a bad matchup against the Lions #2 run defense…

Kamara was able to practice on Thursday & Friday. He’s trending to play against Falcons #21 ranked tackling defense...

#10 Trey McBride is OUT
Elijah Higgins will fill in for McBride this week. He’s played 42% of the snaps this year – earning 4 catches & 1 TD. Higgins is a Top 12 TE this week…
#9 Keenan Allen is questionable
Coach Matt Eberflus said he expects Allen to play. And he’ll get a strong matchup against the Rams 32nd ranked secondary…
#8 Jaylen Warren is OUT
Najee Harris should have a big workload in a great matchup. He’ll face the Colts - who allow the most rushing yards per game…
#7 Jordan Love is questionable
He’s now practiced for 2 straight weeks. This is a big game against the Vikings for the division lead. If Love plays – you can assume he’s a full go…

Brenton Strange will continue to start. He’s earned 17% of the Jaguars targets the past 2 games. Strange is a Top 15 TE this week…

Jordan Akins will continue to start. He’s played 57% of the snaps this season & has turned this usage into 8 catches for 66 total yards…
#3 Austin Ekeler is OUT
Jeremy McNicholas took over once Ekeler left in Week 3. McNicholas is a super deep league add – but expect Brian Robinson to see more snaps…
#2 Tank Dell is OUT
He’s dealing with a chest injury & didn’t practice all week.
Expect more snaps for Robert Woods & Xavier Hutchinson.
But the real winners are Nico Collins & Stefon Diggs - who should see larger target shares…
#1 Justin Herbert is questionable
He’s practiced all week - that’s good. But the Chargers have a Week 5 bye – they could play it safe & hold Herbert out here…
