As we enter Week 4 of the Fantasy Football season, we do have some good news. Sean McVay has expressed an expectation that Puka Nacua will practice in full on Thursday and return to play this week. Nico Collins is also expected back for the Texans.
The wide receiver position has been decimated by injury in September, but we may get two of the most talented pass catchers back to start October. The Fantasy Football impact should be obvious, if they start for their team, they start for your Fantasy team. This takes some of the shine off of Davanta Adams and Tyler Higbee, but I am still starting Adams as a WR2 as well.
Unfortunately, not all the news heading into Week 4 is as positive. We may even lose another elite wide receiver. In a note that is not related to Week 4, Zach Charbonnet was designated to return to practice on Thursday.
He won't play this week but this move indicates the Seahawks believe Charbonnet will be ready in the next three weeks. Make sure he is rostered in your league. It wasn't that big of a deal when Smith missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury.
He missed the first practice of the week in Week 3 as well. Smith battled a hamstring injury in training camp as well, so this is something he has been able to manage so far. We're still ranking Smith, and will start him if he plays, but this should at the very least perk up the ears of anyone counting on him.
For now, just make sure you have a backup plan, and watch Friday's injury report closely. If Smith does miss Week 4, Jalen Hurts will fall outside of the top 12 quarterbacks, and Dontayvion Wicks will become a high-end WR3. Coker battled an ankle injury last week and then left Week 3 with a quad injury.
