Marvin Jones was limited in practice on Thursday, but was able to put a full practice in on Friday and should be good to go. Get him in your lineup against the Bears weak defense.
Eric Decker will miss this week’s contest against the Seahawks and the number of games he misses after that is still up in the air. Seattle will be a tough opponent for Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa, but I expect Marshall to see Richard Sherman, while Enunwa moves around enough to get matched up on linebackers and safeties. He has some GPP appeal.
Jamaal Charles will play Sunday night against the Steelers, but all signs point to him being eased back slowly with a bye week on the horizon. I’d avoid him as much as you can and continue to play Spencer Ware this week. He’s not quite as safe as we’d like, but with Charcandrick West out, I expect Charles to play West’s role at most this week.
Rob Gronkowski is listed as questionable, but all signs point to him playing. The only concern would once again be his snap count, but he should be trending upward in that area and as long as the game is somewhat close and Jimmy Garoppolo is playing, Gronk should Gronk.
Russell Wilson isn’t on the Week 4 injury report. He practiced in full despite spraining his MCL last week and already playing on a sprained ankle. He gets a tough matchup with the Jets’ strong defensive line going against the Seahawks’ weak offensive line. He should be startable in redraft, but Doug Baldwin and maybe Christine Michael are the only two players I have much faith in this week.
Jimmy Garoppolo is the favorite to start this week for the Patriots, but they still need to wait to make sure he feels good in warm-ups Sunday. His presence would help Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, while Jacoby Brissett limits their upside.
Willie Snead is listed as questionable after getting limited practices in this week. His status is still uncertain, but he was able to practice more than he did last week. Hopefully we will know his status sooner than later, but he does play in a late game, so keep your options open.
Dez Bryant won’t play this week, but the team wants the 49ers to think that maybe he will. He’s not. Brice Butler will take his spot, but Jason Witten and Cole Beasley should see the biggest bump in production.
Rashad Jennings is a game-day decision for Monday night’s bout with the Vikings. He’s closer to doubtful than not, but it still makes it tough to roster Orleans Darkwa this week. Either way, the matchup is not good.
Delanie Walker says he has a �opportunity to play� this week. The matchup against the Texans is one to stay away from in DFS, but if Walker does play, he can still be used in redraft.
Terrance West is in line to see more work this week after coach Harbaugh made it clear there needed to be a change West has been better than Forsett this season, but not by a lot. The Raiders have allowed five yards per carry this season and West does have some upside if he gets the bulk of the work. Of course we don’t know that for sure, which makes him a risky play.
Jeremy Langford will be out around a month, which gives Jordan Howard the lead back job, especially with Ka’Deem Carey also out. The Lions are giving up 5.3 yards per carry to opposing running backs and Howard makes for a good play this week.
Sammy Watkins has been put on injured reserve and will be out at least eight weeks. Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin will take over as the one and two wide receivers while Charles Clay will see a bump in work as well.
Michael Floyd isn’t on the Week 4 injury report. He will start, but does get a tough matchup with the Rams. I’d stay away in DFS, but he is worth starting in a pinch in redraft.
Tavon Austin is questionable, but he did get a full practice in on Friday and should be a go. The Cardinals are tough on slot receivers though, so I would lower expectations.
Kenny Britt is questionable after being added to the injury report on Friday. There aren’t many details on his injury, but if you need him, be sure to check for updates.
