Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) and running back Derrick Henry (toe) both practiced on Wednesday. Hopkins was questionable to play for the second straight week for the Week 3 contest against the Cleveland Browns, but he played and led the team with 48 receiving yards on three catches in the blowout loss. Henry was never in danger of missing last Sunday's game either, and he fell flat for fantasy managers in a game in which the Titans had to abandon the run. Expect the Titans to continue resting Hopkins and Henry throughout the year during the practice week. Both Hopkins and Henry are fully expected to suit up this Sunday against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals and be the focal points of Tennessee's offense.

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (groin) is "progressing," according to head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins plan on putting Ahmed through some drills at practice on Wednesday to see how he responds. He'll likely be listed as limited on the official injury report, but it's good news for the 24-year-old after he was inactive for the record-breaking Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. After rookie De'Von Achane broke out to the tune of four touchdowns in the 70-20 win, Ahmed will surely be No. 3 on the RB totem pole if he's able to play this weekend in a divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills. As long as Achane and Raheem Mostert are healthy, Ahmed is off the fantasy radar.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol but that he has made some progress. "It's moving (forward), we'll just see how fast it's moving," McDaniels said. The Raiders remain optimistic that Garoppolo will eventually clear the concussion protocol later this week and be available to start in Week 4 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Fantasy managers with star wideout Davante Adams are really hoping Jimmy G plays as well. If the 31-year-old can't gain clearance, veteran backup Brian Hoyer would be forced to make the start, which in turn would lower the fantasy value of all of the team's offensive skill players significantly.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) was on the field for the team's practice on Wednesday but didn't throw at all in the portion open to the media in order to rest his right shoulder. It's not expected to keep him from playing in Week 4 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Watson, who is coming off arguably his best game in a Browns uniform in the convincing win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, should return to the practice field later this week and will be looking to keep things rolling this Sunday. He's developed some nice chemistry with top wideout Amari Cooper and should continue feeding him with running back Nick Chubb (knee) out for the rest of the year.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) left the Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts to be evaluated for a concussion, but he's already on the practice field on Wednesday heading into Week 4. Meanwhile, Justice Hill (foot) did work on the side. Even if both running backs are active in Week 4, they draw a tough matchup with the Cleveland Browns, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs thus far. Last week, the Titans were held under 100 total yards, and Derrick Henry was held to 20 rushing yards on 11 carries. This might be a backfield to avoid altogether in this spot, especially given the injury concerns.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (foot) missed the Week 3 contest against the Indianapolis Colts with a foot injury. On Wednesday, the 25-year-old was spotted working on a side field during the team's practice. With J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) out for the year and Gus Edwards (concussion) in concussion protocol, Hill is in line to see a healthy workload alongside Melvin Gordon III if he can play in Week 4. Baltimore draws a tough matchup with the fierce Cleveland Browns' defense this week. Cleveland held Derrick Henry to just 20 rushing yards and limited the Titans to just 94 yards of total offense last week. That said, Hill and Gordon are risky fantasy assets in this spot.

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) are not participating in practice on Wednesday. Beckham missed the Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts with an ankle injury, while Bateman suffered a hamstring injury in that contest. Tylan Wallace (hamstring) was recently placed on Injured Reserve, so the wide receiver room is thin in Baltimore. Zay Flowers, Nelson Agholor, and Devin Duvernay are the only three healthy wideouts on the active roster. Given the injury absences or limitations, Flowers is a virtual must-start moving forward.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) will remain a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Hall continues to be limited in practices early in the year after tearing his ACL in his rookie campaign in 2022, but he has yet to miss any games so far and shouldn't be in any danger of being limited in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. The 22-year-old out-snapped Dalvin Cook in the Week 3 loss to the New England Patriots, but neither he nor Cook did much damage at all in a slugging Jets offense led by disappointing third-year quarterback Zach Wilson. Hall is going to be the Jets' lead back when all is said and done this year, but if the Jets can't find a way to get better QB play, this offense could be stuck in the mud for much of the season.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he expects running back Kareem Hunt (groin, ribs) to play in Week 4 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Sunday despite not practicing on Wednesday. Hunt apparently was banged up in his 2023 debut in Sunday's victory over the Tennessee Titans, but he should be able to return to practice later this week and play in Week 4. The 28-year-old played 20 percent of the team's offensive snaps last week compared to Jerome Ford's 56 percent. He had just five carries for 13 yards and caught two passes for 22 yards. Hunt should be more involved as the season progresses, but he'll still be a shaky flex play in deeper leagues, at best, if he plays in Week 4.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) will practice in full on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, and if all goes well, Waddle will clear the league's concussion protocol and return in Week 4 on Sunday for a showdown against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Barring a setback at practice this week, Waddle looks set to play this weekend after sitting out the record-setting 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 3. The 24-year-old has so far taken a back seat to All-Pro Tyreek Hill in his two games played so far in 2023, but Waddle can go off at any moment and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups if he's active against Buffalo.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (concussion) will not take part in practice on Wednesday. Mingo is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He'll have to pass through the protocols at some point this week to get the green light to suit up this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. The 22-year-old second-rounder has plenty of long-term intrigue with quarterback Bryce Young, but he'll be inconsistent for fantasy managers in single-year leagues in 2023 behind Adam Thielen and DJ Chark Jr. In his first three NFL games, Mingo has secured eight of 19 targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns.

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich said that rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) will return to practice on Wednesday, but it's unclear exactly how much he'll do. Even if Young ends up being a limited participant, it's a step in the right direction after he was held out of the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. A return to practice early in the week should at least give the 22-year-old first-rounder a chance to return this Sunday for a Week 4 matchup against the winless Minnesota Vikings. Veteran Andy Dalton put up big numbers in the loss last Sunday, but if he's ready, the Panthers are going to go back to Young this weekend. Against one of the weaker defenses in the NFL, Young could have some upside as a QB2 this week if he plays.

Dynasty | The Browns have signed Deon Jackson to their practice squad. Dynasty Analysis: Jackson was the week one starter for Indianapolis but quickly fell out of favor when Zack Moss returned in week two, leading to his surprise release. He's just a practice squad player at the moment and not worthy of a dynasty roster spot right now. However, this is a situation to monitor with Nick Chubb out for the season.

Dynasty | The Jets have signed free agent quarterback Trevor Siemian. Dynasty Analysis: The Jets apparently refused overtures from the likes of Colin Kaepernick, Matt Ryan and Carson Wentz and chose to grab Siemian off the scrap heap instead. It's an interesting development as it seems Zach Wilson has already lost the locker room as the Jets season looks to already be on the brink. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Siemian starting in the short-term. He'd be worth an add in deep leagues.

Dynasty | The Saints have cut wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith. Dynasty Analysis: There were times over the past few years where it looked like Smith was going to be a legitimate fantasy performer. Unfortunately, things just didn't work out for him in New Orleans and he'll join a long list of wide receivers looking for work. He's off the dynasty radar at the moment.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson (concussion) is still in the league's concussion protocol, but he's expected to practice on Wednesday and will take starter's repetitions, according to head coach Shane Steichen. It's a good sign for Richardson's progress and chances to start in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams. The first-round rookie suffered a concussion in Week 2 and was held out of last week's upset win over the Baltimore Ravens in overtime, but it looks like there's a chance he'll only miss one game. Although backup Gardner Minshew game-managed the team to a big win this past weekend, Richardson is going to be Indy's starter under center if he's cleared. It's likely he'll be listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's official report.

The New York Jets signed veteran free-agent quarterback Trevor Siemian to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to the team. Siemian was released by the Cincinnati Bengals in the preseason and will join Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle in the team's QB room after future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles on the first offensive series of the year. Wilson will make another start in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but Siemian gives the Jets another QB with starting experience in case Wilson continues to struggle. With Wilson under center, the offense has generated only three touchdowns in nearly three full games. Siemian is 13-17 in his career with 42 TDSs and 28 interceptions, and he hasn't won a start since 2017.

The Minnesota Vikings re-signed running back Myles Gaskin to their practice squad on Wednesday. Gaskin, who began the year with the Miami Dolphins before being released, will continue to provide running back depth in Minnesota behind Alexander Mattison, Cam Akers and Ty Chandler. The 26-year-old was active in Week 2 and played two snaps on special teams, but he didn't get on the field at all on offense. The former seventh-round selection of the Dolphins in 2019 out of Washington has 361 career carries for 1,355 yards and seven touchdowns in 39 games (17 starts), all in a four-year span in Miami.

The Green Bay Packers are optimistic that both running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) and wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) will return from their injuries to play on Thursday night against the Detroit Lions. However, head coach Matt LaFleur insisted that both players still need to be cleared before Thursday. Jones had 127 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in the season opener and would return to his lead-back role this week, making him a high-end RB2 for fantasy lineups. Watson, who has yet to play in 2023, said he was "pretty close" to play in the Week 3 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Watson should be quarterback Jordan Love's go-to target this year, but fantasy managers may want to temper expectations this week if he indeed is active.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver Zay Jones (knee), who is being considered day-to-day, is a "long shot" to play in Week 4 this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in London. Jones didn't practice at all last week and was held out of the disappointing loss to the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old could get back on the practice field later this week, but it doesn't mean the Jaguars will be comfortable with putting him on the field on game day yet. If Jones misses another game, Jamal Agnew would once again have a bigger role as the No. 3 behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk. Agnew caught four of a season-high five targets for 49 yards in last Sunday's loss to Houston.
