WEEK 4 INJURY UPDATES:

Is Gabe Davis playing Week 4?
UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Davis is expected to play Sunday against Baltimore.
UPDATE 2: Davis is officially ACTIVE.
Davis (ankle) carries an official "questionable" designation heading into the Bills' Week 4 road tilt against the Ravens. After logging a limited participation in Wednesday's practice, Davis didn't participate in practice on Thursday but returned in a limited fashion on Friday. According to Bills beat reporter Joe Buscaglia, Davis told the media, "I'm playing Sunday."
Davis figures to be on the field for the second-straight game after missing Buffalo's Week 2 matchup against the Titans. Davis remains a "must-start" WR2 in both standard and PPR formats, as he sports a 96.8 percent route participation while earning 2.32 fantasy points per target. SN Fantasy has Davis ranked as the No. 12 WR in standard and No. 13 WR in PPR scoring ahead of a matchup against a Ravens' defense allowing the most fantasy points to WRs.

Is Marquise Brown playing Week 4?
UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Brown is expected to play Sunday against the Panthers.
UPDATE 2: Brown is officially ACTIVE for Sunday's game against Carolina.
Brown (foot) is listed as "questionable" entering Arizona's Week 4 late-afternoon matchup in Carolina. Brown is trending in the right direction, as he was able to log a limited session in Friday's practice after failing to participate on Wednesday and Thursday.
If Brown were to miss Sunday's game, fellow pass-catchers Greg Dortch, Zach Ertz, and Rondale Moore would see a boost in opportunity. Arizona's WR room is really banged up at the moment, as they're already without A.J. Green (knee) while the aforementioned Dortch (back) and Moore (hamstring) were also listed on the injury report earlier this week. Brown's posted double-digit fantasy point outputs in all three games to begin in season in PPR formats and is a "must-start" for Week 4 when he's officially active.
WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kicker
Is Dalton Schultz playing Week 4?
UPDATE: Schultz is officially ACTIVE.
Schultz (knee) also carries a "questionable" tag heading into the Cowboys' Week 4 home contest against the Commanders. Schultz returned to practice after missing the Cowboys' Monday Night win over the Giants but wasn't able to practice in full.
Schultz figures to be in line to make his return to the field this Week 4, but if he were to miss the game, fellow TEs Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot would once again assume a larger snap share. Given how thin the TE position is in fantasy, Schultz is still a "must-start" once it's officially announced he's active.

Are DJ Chark and Josh Reynolds playing Week 4?
UPDATE: Chark was officially ruled OUT on Saturday afternoon.
UPDATE 2: Reynolds is officially ACTIVE.
Chark (ankle) and Reynolds (ankle) are both listed as "questionable" entering Detroit's Week 4 matchup against Seattle.
Chark and Reynolds are both dealing with ankle issues but look to be in line to suit up this Sunday, as they practiced in a limited fashion to end the practice week. With fellow skill position players, D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) already announced as "out," Detroit really needs Chark and Reynolds to step up. Given the matchup, both would have WR3/flex value this week. If one is a surprise scratch, expect Kalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus to be involved, but both would be risky plays in season-long leagues. If anything, Detroit might lean more on TE T.J. Hockenson and RBs Jamaal Williams and Craig Reynolds.

Is Dawson Knox playing Week 4?
UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Knox is expected to play Sunday against Baltimore.
UPDATE 2: Knox is officially ACTIVE.
Knox (back/hip) is listed as "questionable" on the Bills' final injury report of the week. Knox practiced Wednesday through Friday but was limited in all three days.
He's on track to play in Week 4, and despite his early-season struggles, he still sits as a low-end TE1 in all formats thanks to the plus matchup against Baltimore.

Is Zay Jones playing Week 4?
UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Jones is expected to play on Sunday against Philadelphia.
UPDATE 2: Jones is officially OUT.
Jones (ankle) landed on the Jaguars' injury report and is officially listed as "questionable" heading into Jacksonville's Week 4 road tilt in Philadelphia. Jones failed to practice on Thursday but was a limited participant on Friday.
He figures to be out there this Sunday and has flex appeal in a matchup that could result in the Jaguars airing the football out more than usual. However, potential weather issues dim his outlook slightly, so consider him a borderline option. If he's out, Marvin Jones would bump up to a boom-or-bust flex.
Is Jakobi Meyers playing Week 4?
UPDATE: Meyers was officially ruled OUT on Saturday afternoon.
Meyers (knee) practiced Wednesday through Friday in a limited manner and holds a "questionable" tag entering New England's Week 4 road test in Green Bay.
Meyers missed the Patriots' Week 3 home loss to Baltimore but is on track to make his return this week. Meyers carries WR3/flex appeal in PPR leagues but could be worth leaving on the bench, as the Patriots offense figures to have a tough time generating much offense with Brian Hoyer running the show at QB. If Meyers is out again, DeVante Parker would benefit the most as he did last week.
Is Jarvis Landry playing Week 4?
UPDATE: Landry is officially ACTIVE.
Landry (ankle) is listed as "questionable" on the Saints' final injury report leading into their morning matchup against the Vikings in London. Landry practiced on Thursday and Friday to end the week and should suit up for New Orleans in Week 4.
With Michael Thomas (toe) already ruled out and Jameis Winston (back, ankle) listed as "doubtful", Landry's presence is needed with backup QB Andy Dalton on track to start. Landry's a worthwhile flex in a game where he could rack up his fair share of receptions, but if you want to play him, you'll have to get up early (before 9:30 a.m. ET) to make sure he's active.
