Week 4 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.

What the Experts Are Saying
TBD. Lean towards sitting. The extra day does help, and Saquon has a history of returning quickly. But even factoring that in, our algorithm still rates him a 2/3 chance of sitting. If he does play, expect limitations in workload and efficiency, as well as high re-injury risk.
