NFL fantasy football injury report Week 4: Updates on Deebo Samuel, Kenneth Walker, Joe Mixon and more

Eagles' AJ Brown (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, although he was able to practice on a limited basis Friday after back-to-back absences earlier in the week. The impact of Brown's third straight absence is compounded by that of fellow wideout DeVonta Smith (concussion), leaving Jalen Hurts expected to have a starting receiver duo of Jahan Dotson and rookie sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson, although veterans Parris Campbell and John Ross have also been called up from the practice squad. Tight end Dallas Goedert, who had a spectacular 10-catch, 170-yard effort against the Saints in Week 3, and Saquon Barkley should also be in line for more pass-catching work. 49ers' Deebo Samuel (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots but managed to finish the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions. According to early Sunday reports, Samuel is expected to return after an absence from a game against New England. If that is indeed the case, it remains to be seen whether Jauan Jennings, who posted a memorable 11-175-3 receiving line against the Rams in Week 3, will step back into the true No. 3 role in terms of snaps. The Raiders' Davante Adams (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Browns after suffering an injury in practice on Thursday and then being sidelined entirely on Friday. In his absence, veteran colleague Jakobi Meyers' opportunities should increase significantly, while second-year speedster Tre Tucker takes over at No. 2. Tight end Brock Bowers could also be a beneficiary in terms of additional targets. Rams' Cooper Kupp (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Bears after missing practice all week. His absence, along with that of Puka Nacua (IR knee), will leave veteran Demarcus Robinson in the No. 1 receiver role, while sixth-round rookie Tyler Johnson and rookie Jordan Whittington are selected as options No. 2 and 3, respectively. Given the amount of targets freed up by the unavailability of Los Angeles' top two wideouts, running back Kyren Williams and tight end Colby Parkinson should continue to have additional passing options against Chicago. The Vikings' Jordan Addison is no longer on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers after playing two limited practices with a full session Friday. Addison missed the last two games with an ankle injury he suffered in Week 1, and when he returns, Jalen Nailor, who scored a touchdown in each of his first three games of the season, is expected to step back into the No. 1 role. 3 will slide back. Eagles' DeVonta Smith (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after missing practice all week. The impact of Smith's absence is compounded by that of fellow senior AJ Brown (hamstring injury), leaving Jalen Hurts expected to be left with a starting receiver duo of Jahan Dotson and rookie sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson, although veterans Parris Campbell and John will also be included Ross was called from the practice group. Tight end Dallas Goedert, who had a spectacular 10-catch, 170-yard effort against the Saints in Week 3, and Saquon Barkley should also be in line for more pass-catching work. The Saints' Chris Olave (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons after finishing the week with a limited practice on Friday. Early Sunday reports said Olave's availability will likely depend on how he looks in pre-match warm-ups, but there is optimism he can play. Should there be a change of plans, Rashid Shaeed would be well on his way to taking over the role of No. 1 receiver for New Orleans. Bears' Keenan Allen (heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, but finished the week with a full practice after back-to-back limited sessions to start the week. Early Sunday reports said Allen is expected to play, a move that would move rookie Rome Udonze back to the No. 3 position despite his breakout 6-112-1 performance against the Colts in a Week 3 loss. Jaguars' Gabe Davis (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing limited all week. Early Sunday reports said Davis is expected to play. If that changes, rookie Brian Thomas Jr. would take over the No. 2 receiver duties. Texans' Tank Dell (chest) is out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after missing practice all week. In his absence, the experienced Robert Woods is likely to take over at No. 3 behind Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, although Xavier Hutchison could also come in. The Panthers' Diontae Johnson (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but managed to finish the week with a limited practice after an absence on Thursday. According to early Sunday reports, Johnson, who is coming off his best game of the season in Week 3 against the Raiders, is expected to start against Cincinnati. However, should he suffer a setback, rookie Xavier Legette would be on track to take over the No. 1 receiver role while Adam Thielen (hamstring IR) is out. The Panthers' Adam Thielen (hamstring injury) was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday and will be sidelined for at least the next four games. In his absence, freshmen Xavier Legette and Jonathan Mingo should see more opportunities, filling the No. 2 and No. 3 roles, respectively. Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles after finishing the week with a limited Friday practice. In his absence, Trey Palmer, who thrived as the No. 3 receiver in his rookie season in 2023, will reclaim that role against Philadelphia. The Chargers' Joshua Palmer (elbow/calf) is off the injured list heading into Sunday's game against the Chiefs after finishing the week with two full practices after missing Week 3 with elbow and calf injuries. Upon his return, Palmer is expected to reclaim the No. 1 receiver role, although Quentin Johnston should continue to have a strong role after the success he had with three touchdown receptions in the last two games. Saints' Cedrick Wilson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons but was ruled out Friday after a limited practice session on Thursday. If Wilson can't keep up, undrafted rookie Mason Tipton would take over at No. 3 against Atlanta. Chargers' Derius Davis (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after ending the week with back-to-back absences. If Davis is out, rookie Ladd McConkey will likely fill the role of both kickoff and punt returner.
