(Before Week 4) Alfredo Brown & Dave Kluge break down 6 BUY LOW Trade Targets to acquire before Week 4! [Watch On YouTube 👉]( ​ [] 1. CIN: Joe Burrow a full participant [Source: Bengals.com](=) Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: Burrow doesn't look like himself, but the Bengals started him last week and won. Against the Titans in Week 4, we can only recommend a banged-up Burrow as a QB2 option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. [Back to Top](#top) [] 2. JAX: Zay Jones a 'long shot' to play [Source: NFL.com]() Jacksonville Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) is a 'long shot' to play in Week 4, head coach Doug Pederson said on Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: Jones hasn't played since Week 2, and it looks like he needs more time to heal. Without Jones, the Jaguars will lean more on Christian Kirk in the passing game. Kirk is worth considering at least as a flex play in Week 4 against the Falcons. [Back to Top](#top) ​ [] 3. GB: Aaron Jones listed as questionable [Source: Packers.com]( Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 4. Our view: Jones is close to returning, but hamstring injuries can linger. He didn't play in Week 3, so even on a short week (Thursday night against the Lions) Jones might be out there. He's at least flex worthy if the veteran back plays in Week 4. [Back to Top](#top) [] 4. MIA: Jaylen Waddle to practice in full [Source: NFL Network - Cameron Wolfe]() Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) will practice in full on Wednesday, Sept. 27, and if all goes well he will be cleared for Week 4, head coach Mike McDaniel said. Our view: Waddle missed last week's game against the Broncos, and the Dolphins scored 70 points. They're facing a much better-coached team this weekend against the Bills. Having Waddle back out there (most likely) is a boost for the league's best offense. [Back to Top](#top) [] 5. IND: Anthony Richardson a full participant [Source: Colts.com](=) Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (concussion) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: In the protocol, Richardson will have to practice as he did on Wednesday and then go through testing to see how he responds the next day. We imagine Richardson should be able to play in Week 4 against the Rams. If he needs to miss more time, QB Gardner Minshew will start again. If Richardson plays, Fantasy GMs are likely to start him as the upside as a QB1 is always there when he's on the field. We just want to see Richardson get through a full game without getting banged up. [Back to Top](#top) [] 6. NYJ: Mass frustration with Zach Wilson in New York? [Source: ESPN.com - Rich Cimini]() New York Jets QB Zach Wilson's play has caused a great deal of unrest in the locker room and there is some feeling that head coach Robert Saleh is 'coming off as a Zach apologist,' according to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini. Our view: The Jets are likely to move on from Wilson as their starter in the near future. Matt Ryan doesn't want to play for them according to reports, while Colin Kaepernick does want to play for the Jets. The team signed veteran QB Trevor Siemian to their practice squad, and he's got enough experience to take over if they want him to. Wilson has been terrible as the team's starter, and their hopes for 2023 went down when QB Aaron Rodgers was lost for the season after a small handful of plays in Week 1. [Back to Top](#top) [] 7. CAR: DJ Chark receives day off [Source: Panthers.com]() Carolina Panthers WR DJ Chark Jr. (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: Chark is getting a day of rest here. Let's see what he can do on Friday, and Fantasy GMs also need to monitor the status of QB Bryce Young. If veteran backup QB Andy Dalton plays, that could mean more robust numbers for the passing game including guys like Chark. With Dalton slinging the rock in Week 3, Chark caught four passes for 86 yards and one touchdown. Dalton targeted Chark 11 times, while Young (in Week 2) targeted Chark just one time. [Back to Top](#top) [] 8. NO: Derek Carr misses practice [Source: Sirius XM NFL Radio - Adam Caplan]() New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: Carr is considered week-to-week with this shoulder injury. That means Jameis Winston could be starting against his old team (Buccaneers) on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) [] 9. BAL: Two Ravens WRs not practicing [Source: ESPN.com - Jamison Hensley](=) Baltimore Ravens WRs Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: Beckham was inactive for Week 3 against the Colts, but he could be limited on Friday and still be good to go for Week 4 against the Browns. Bateman played against the Colts, but he didn't do much (one catch, six yards) before this hamstring injury knocked him out of the contest. If Bateman and Beckham can't play in Week 4 (or are limited), that means more opportunity for rookie WR Zay Flowers (who we love) and veteran WR Nelson Agholor.

CAR: Full practice for Bryce Young [Source: Panthers.com]() Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: Young missed last week's game against Seattle, and veteran QB Andy Dalton moved the offense effectively through the air (361 passing yards) in the loss. This week, it looks like the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft is going to be out there again. We'll see if he structures his targets differently after watching from the sidelines. Dalton made guys like WR Adam Thielen (11-145-1) and WR DJ Chark (4-86-1) viable fantasy plays. Young against the Vikings in Week 4 is only a wait-and-see option for Fantasy GMs - even in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. [Back to Top](#top) [] 11. BAL: Gus Edwards practices Wednesday [Source: Sirius XM NFL Radio - Adam Caplan]() Baltimore Ravens RB Gus Edwards (concussion) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: That's good news for the Ravens. They've got injuries at the position, and are down to guys like Melvin Gordon behind Edwards. A full participation on Wednesday is a good sign Edwards will be available in Week 4 against the Browns. [Back to Top](#top) [] 12. CAR: Miles Sanders listed as limited [Source: Panthers.com]() Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (groin) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: Sanders' carries have gone down (18,14,9) each week this season. However, his work as a receiver out of the backfield keeps him involved in the offense. He's a talented back, but Sanders has been banged up with a pectoral injury that limited him last week and now a groin injury this week. Friday will be the big day to see if Sanders can practice as the team gets ready to take on the winless Vikings in Week 4. [Back to Top](#top) [] 13. CLE: Kareem Hunt won't practice Wednesday [Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot]() Cleveland Browns RB Kareem Hunt (ribs, groin) will not practice on Wednesday, Sept. 27. Our view: Well, that didn't take long. Hunt was signed off the free agent wire last week, and Fantasy GMs were wondering how he would cut into the workload for Jerome Ford. Now, Hunt is banged up so that just means more from Ford and perhaps some Pierre Strong in the Browns' backfield. [Back to Top](#top) [] 14. GB: Christian Watson's status in question [Source: Packers.com - Wes Hodkiewicz]( Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 4. Our view: The Packers have a short week since they play on Thursday night against the Lions. That doesn't mean much for Watson though as he's yet to play this season. He's closer to returning, but his status is up in the air for Week 4. [Back to Top](#top) [] 15. DET: Questionable tag for David Montgomery [Source: DetroitLions.com](=) Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 4. The Lions did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation. Our view: The Lions play on Thursday night, and it looks like Montgomery will be out there against the Packers. If he does play in Week 4, we'll see how much Montgomery cuts into the touches for RB Jahmyr Gibbs. [Back to Top](#top) That'll do it for today, Folks.
