[NE - RB James White out for season]() Source: Boston Herald - Andrew Callahan New England Patriots RB [James White](=) (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of the season. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] White was originally going to be out indefinitely and now he's out for the year. Without White, the Patriots will have to find a new pass-catching back. Brandon Bolden, J.J. Taylor and Rhamondre Stevenson will compete for that role. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [BAL - OC: QB Lamar Jackson should be OK](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jamison Hensley Baltimore Ravens QB [Lamar Jackson](=) (back) is dealing with 'a little back flare-up,' according to offensive coordinator Greg Roman. 'I don't think it's anything serious,' Roman said Thursday, Sept. 30. 'But we're just going to have to kind of wait and see. I think he's going to be in good shape. We'll wait and see.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Ravens are playing it safe with Jackson and giving him some rest. The back "flare up" is an issue and missing two days of practice in a row is something to note. Keep an eye on Jackson's Friday status. If he plays against the Broncos on Sunday, Jackson is still a top-5 fantasy quarterback. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [LVR - RB Josh Jacobs practicing Thursday]( Source: The Athletic - Tashan Reed Las Vegas Raiders RB [Josh Jacobs](=) (ankle) was seen participating in the team stretching portion and individual running back drills at practice Thursday, Sept. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This is a good sign for his availability in Week 4. The Raiders play on Monday night in a huge game against the Chargers. That means Saturday's practice is the one to closely monitor to see if Jacobs can be a full participant. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [BAL - QB Lamar Jackson out again Thursday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jamison Hensley Baltimore Ravens QB [Lamar Jackson](=) (back) on Thursday, Sept. 30, is sitting out a second practice in as many days as he deals with a back injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Missing practice on Wednesday - no big deal. Missing practice on Thursday - a bit of a concern. Jackson and the Ravens travel to Denver to face the undefeated Broncos on Sunday. The Broncos defense is tough and knows how to get after the passer. Jackson needs to get some work in on Friday...even if it's limited. If he plays on Sunday, Jackson is still a top-5 fantasy quarterback...even with his back "flare up." [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [LVR - Las Vegas adds a pair]() Source: NFLCommunications.com Free-agent WR Javon Wims (Bears) and free-agent RB Trey Ragas (Raiders) were signed to the Las Vegas Raiders' practice squad Wednesday, Sept. 29. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] You'll be shocked to know the Raiders added a wide receiver with speed. Wims can fly down the field and has some pro experience having appeared in 33 games for the Bears from 2018-2020. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [WAS - Antonio Gibson out of practice]() Source: ESPN.com - John Keim Washington Football Team RB [Antonio Gibson](=) (undisclosed) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reports indicate Gibson is dealing with a shin problem. We'll see what he can do on Friday, but it seems like this is an issue Gibson will be able to play with in Week 4. Fantasy GMs can consider Gibson as low-end RB1 against the Falcons.

[NFL - RB LeSean McCoy to retire with Eagles]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Free agent RB LeSean McCoy will sign a one-day contract with the Philadelphia Eagles to announce his retirement, the team announced Thursday, Sept. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] When McCoy was at his best, he was among the best in the league at his position. He's the Eagles all-time leading rusher and finishing his pro career with 11,102 rushing yards with 518 receptions for 3,898 receiving yards in 12 NFL seasons. McCoy was able to get two Super Bowl rings, back-to-back, with the Chiefs and the Buccaneers when he was a reserve back. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [MIA - WR Will Fuller returns to practice]( Source: South Florida Sun-Sentinel - David Furones Miami Dolphins WR [Will Fuller](=) (chest, elbow) on Thursday, Sept. 30, returned to practice after sitting out the previous day with chest and elbow injuries. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's Will Fuller, so Fantasy GMs are already used to him missing practice time and being banged up. Fuller is his normal boom/bust WR4/deep flex in Week 4 against the Colts. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [NYG - WR Sterling Shepard absent Thursday]( Source: The Bergen Record - Art Stapleton New York Giants WR [Sterling Shepard](=) (hamstring) did not participate in the team's practice Thursday, Sept. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] No surprise here. Shepard may miss Week 4 against the Saints, but check back on Friday to see if he can practice. There are rumblings the Giants may actually use 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney as the slot if Shepard is out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [BUF - Thursday's practice report for Buffalo](=) Source: Buffalo Bills PR Buffalo Bills OL Jon Feliciano (concussion), CB Taron Johnson (groin), DT Star Lotulelei (rest), DE Efe Obada (ankle), S Jordan Poyer (ankle) and WR [Emmanuel Sanders](=) (rest) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 30. S Micah Hyde (quad) was upgraded to a full practice. DE Mario Addison (rest), RB Taiwan Jones (rest) and WR [Cole Beasley](=) (rest) were not given practice designations. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Sanders is just getting some rest. The Bills offense is clicking on all cylinders, making Sanders a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs so long as he's healthy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [TEN - WR Julio Jones, WR A.J. Brown miss practice again]() Source: Titans.com - Jim Wyatt Tennessee Titans WRs [Julio Jones](=) (hamstring) and [A.J. Brown](=) (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Titans could choose to hold both out of Week 4. In fact, the Titans could hold both out the next two weeks as they face the Jets and the Jaguars. We'll see what they can do on Friday, but Fantasy GMs need to have other options at the ready.
