Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) required only one surgery and is targeting a return before the 2026 season, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Hill suffered a gruesome knee dislocation in Week 4's win over the Jets and was immediately taken to the hospital. Rosenhaus noted that Hill avoided nerve damage, blood flow complications, and broken bones, which is a positive sign for his long-term recovery. Hill remains under contract with Miami through 2026, though trade speculation had surfaced earlier this season. With Hill sidelined, Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane become the clear focal points of the passing game, while Malik Washington should also see an increased role and fantasy boost.

The Dallas Cowboys have signed veteran wide receiver Parris Campbell to their practice squad, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Campbell, a former second-round pick, has battled through multiple significant foot and knee injuries throughout his six-year career, limiting him to 1,117 receiving yards and six touchdowns across 49 games. The Cowboys are dealing with injuries at wide receiver, most notably losing CeeDee Lamb for the next few weeks and Jonathan Mingo, who was placed on injured reserve prior to the season. Campbell could be elevated from the practice squad as soon as this week, but with the Cowboys' deep receiver group, he carries little to no fantasy value at this time.

Dynasty | Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is likely going to miss time with his hamstring injury. Dynasty Analysis: Most expected him to miss this week but it seems he may actually miss 2-3 weeks. If this is the case, it's a nightmare scenario for both the Ravens and dynasty managers. Baltimore is off to an awful start at 1-3 and could be forced to turn to Cooper Rush. While this won't affect his long-term dynasty value, any missed time is significant for a quarterback most have built around. Stay tuned.

Dynasty | Jets running back Braelon Allen is likely headed to injured reserve with a sprained MCL. Dynasty Analysis: Allen was injured in Monday Night's game and represents just the latest bit of bad news for a New York team that just can't turn the corner. In fact, they've had a hard time finding the road in the past few years. Missing time will give Breece Hall a chance to showcase his talent with Allen managers hoping Hall gets moved at the trade deadline. Allen remains a hold in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | The Dolphins have signed wide receiver Cedrick Wilson off the Saints practice squad. Dynasty Analysis: Wilson spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with Miami and has had some good stretches in the past. However, he'll likely slot in behind Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, Darren Waller and perhaps a few other pass catchers in his second stint with the team. He's really not worth a waiver add until we see him perform well consistently.

Dynasty | The Browns have placed wide receiver Cedric Tillman on injured reserve. Dynasty Analysis: Tillman has had an awful start to the season with just 11 catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns in four games. He was expected to make a third year leap but that hasn't happened at all as it seems he has been overtaken by Isaiah Bond. He's not out for the season but will miss at least the next four weeks. It's quite possible Bond cements himself in the spot across from Jerry Jeudy, making Tillman a pretty weak hold in dynasty leagues at the moment.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) was unable to practice on Tuesday due to a knee injury. This was his second straight day sitting out in practice. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status on Wednesday as he appears to be in danger of missing their contest on Thursday evening against the Los Angeles Rams. Pearsall suffered this injury during their Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before exiting, the second-year wideout caught four of his five targets for 46 yards. During the first three games of the season, Pearsall was very productive, tallying 281 yards on 16 receptions (24 targets). With Jauan Jennings (ankle/rib) also in danger of missing this contest, the 49ers could turn to Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne to operate as the team's top wideouts.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will remain sidelined during Tuesday's practice session. Purdy was a non-participant on Monday and is now in danger of missing their contest on Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams. While Purdy missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to this toe injury, he was able to return to action in Week 4, but is dealing with setbacks. In Week 4, Purdy went 22-for-38 with 309 passing yards and a 2:2 TD:INT during their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Purdy were to remain sidelined on Wednesday, he would likely cede starting duties on Thursday evening to Mac Jones. Jones started in each of his two games he missed and averaged a solid 22.4 PPR points per game during this stretch. He would carry high-end QB2 value facing the Rams on Thursday night.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) remained a non-participant during their practice session on Tuesday afternoon. This was Jennings' second-straight non-participation, and he is now in danger of missing their contest against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday evening. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on Wednesday, as it could provide clarity on his availability. The 28-year-old was unable to play in Week 3 due to this ankle injury, but was able to suit up in Week 4. However, he left this game with an additional rib injury. In this contest, Jennings was relatively quiet, catching only two passes for 24 yards. However, in Week 2, he caught five passes for 89 yards and a score. With Ricky Pearsall (knee) also in danger of sitting out, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson could lead the passing attack on Thursday evening.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington snagged all three of his targets for 20 yards in a 24-21 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The third-year pro was held without a catch through his first three games this season but emerged as the most productive tight end on the team in Week 4. In addition to his fantasy output, Washington saw the field for 48 of a possible 53 snaps, far exceeding the snap shares of Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith. At 6'7", Washington is incredibly effective as a blocker, and his utilization resulted in a successful day on the ground for running back Kenneth Gainwell. While Washington isn't likely to earn a significant role as a pass-catcher, it was promising to see him get on the same page as quarterback Aaron Rodgers last week. He remains off the fantasy radar for now, but Washington will be a name to monitor when Pittsburgh returns from its Week 5 bye.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has been quiet for fantasy purposes since his debut with the team in which he earned six targets and scored a touchdown. Still, he played on more than 50% of offensive snaps in each of his first three games, with a season-high 83% snap share in Week 3. In Week 4, Smith was relegated to just 13 snaps, 25% of the Steelers' total, while Darnell Washington, Connor Heyward, and Pat Freiermuth all played ahead of him. Smith was limited in practice last week with a hip injury, which could explain his limited usage in Sunday's win against the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, Ireland. He will likely see more playing time when the Steelers return from a Week 5 bye, but it will be difficult to trust Smith if Washington continues to have a role in the offense after playing 48-of-53 snaps last week. The 30-year-old can be dropped or left on waivers in most redraft formats.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders (hip) is expected to remain on the injured reserve this weekend when the Dolphins face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, despite being eligible to return. Their top kicker has been on the IR since the beginning of the campaign due to a hip injury. However, David Furones of The Sun Sentinel noted that Sanders is "approaching" his return. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Riley Patterson to remain the starting kicker this weekend. Last season, Sanders posted a strong 90.2% FG%, going 37-41 on attempts and 12-for-14 on 50+ yard attempts. Patterson has gone 4-for-4 on attempts and 9-for-9 on extra points this season. Given that he has yet to tally double-digit fantasy points in a single game this season, he carries low-end streaming upside in Week 5.

With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) expected to miss Sunday's contests against the Houston Texans, the Ravens will likely turn to Cooper Rush to serve as the QB1. Rush replaced Jackson during the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend. The former Cowoby went 9-for-13 with 52 passing yards and no scores or interceptions. Last season, Rush served as the QB1 in Dallas for nearly half the season with Dak Prescott sidelined. Through Weeks 9 through 17, Rush averaged 15.5 PPR points per game and held a solid 12:4 TD:INT. During this stretch, he averaged 1991. passing yards per game. Given his tough matchup this weekend against the Texans, who have allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing QBs, managers should only look to start Rush in deeper 14+ superflex formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) managed just two receptions for 13 yards in a Week 4 victory over the Minnesota Vikings before exiting with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. Austin was evaluated at a hospital in Dublin, Ireland before heading home for a Week 5 bye. There have been conflicting reports regarding the severity of Austin's injury, but the consensus seems to be that he will miss some time. The 26-year-old had been operating as Pittsburgh's WR2 behind DK Metcalf and displayed encouraging signs of chemistry with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers. There is potential for Austin to become a fantasy contributor later in the season, but it's difficult to justify stashing him through the team's bye in most redraft leagues, especially if he can't be moved to an IR spot.

Wide receiver Malachi Corley is set to join the Browns' active roster in a corresponding move that shifted Cedric Tillman (hamstring) to the injured reserve. Corley was signed to the Cleveland practice squad shortly before the regular season. In 2024, Corley was drafted in the third round (65th overall) by the New York Jets but was never able to carve out a prominent role in their offense. As a rookie, Corley caught just three of his six targets for 16 yards. He added 26 yards on two rushing attempts. Fantasy managers in deeper dynasty formats should monitor his status as he could be given opportunities in the Cleveland offense if Tillman were to miss a significant portion of the season. For now, Jerry Jeudy and rookie Isaiah Bond figure to serve as the team's top wide receivers.

According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, the Cleveland Browns are expected to turn to rookie Dillon Gabriel to lead the offense in their Week 5 tilt against the Minnesota Vikings. Throughout the first four games of the season, the Browns have given QB1 duties to veteran Joe Flacco. However, Flacco has struggled in this role, winning just one game and averaging a modest 203.8 passing yards per game. During their Week 4 loss to the Lions, Flacco threw two interceptions and totaled just 184 passing yards. Gabriel has seen limited action through the first four games, only entering in the final frames. In Week 2, Gabriel went 3-for-3 with 19 yards and a score against the Ravens, but could not complete his lone passing attempt in Week 4. The Browns selected Gabriel in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Oregon. Last season, Gabriel led the Ducks to a 13-1 record and was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year. He is worth a look in all superflex formats as a mid-end QB2 ahead of his first start.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Cleveland Browns are placing wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on the injured reserve. The former third-round pick suffered this injury during their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Tillman will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed wide receivers Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster. Through four games, Tillman operated as a starting option in the passing attack and caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two scores. However, with Tillman slated to miss time, fantasy managers should expect veteran Jerry Jeudy to take the lead role in the offense, while rookie Isaiah Bond is expected to see a larger target share.

After seeing the heaviest involvement of his young career, Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Brashard Smith could be in line for additional touches. A day after Sunday's win over the Ravens, head coach Andy Reid told reporters that offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is trying to increase Smith's reps each week while putting him in a position to succeed. A converted wide receiver, Smith's ability to make plays in space was on display Sunday, as he averaged 10 yards after the catch on his three receptions. With neither Isiah Pacheco nor Kareem Hunt doing much to capitalize on what has been a near 50/50 split through four weeks, Smith could easily see his snap share increase. Having seemingly earned his coaches' trust, his big-play ability could make him flex-worthy in a pinch, especially if the staff goes out of its way to design plays for his unique skillset.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was on the field for 31 out of 49 offensive snaps in Sunday's blowout win over the Panthers. His 69% snap share was the highest of the season, resulting in his best game as a Patriot. Diggs caught six of his team-leading seven targets for 101 yards. Considering Drake Maye only threw 17 passes on the day, Diggs accounted for over 40% of the team's target share. Still less than a year removed from surgery to repair his torn ACL, Diggs could soon become a weekly play, rewarding fantasy managers who were able to hold onto him through a slow start to the season.

The Miami Dolphins are signing wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. from the New Orleans Saints practice squad. The 29-year-old wideout spent two seasons in Miami (2022 and 2023) before moving to New Orleans for the 2024 campaign. This move comes after top wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury during their victory over the Jets on Monday evening. In 2024, Wilson caught 20 passes for 211 yards with the Saints. With the Dolphins, Wilson totaled 432 total yards across two seasons and operated in a depth role. However, with Hlll sidelined, Wilson could eventually carve out a more prominent role in the passing attack. However, for the time being, fantasy managers should expect Jalyen Waddle to serve as the team's clear WR1.
