Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Treylon Burks (knee) ruled out for Week 4
Treylon Burks (knee) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Burks is dealing with a knee injury of some kind that affected his participation at practice all week. He’s now being ruled out because of it and won’t be available to play in Tennessee’s Week 4 matchup against the Bengals. The exact timeline for his return is unknown right now and fantasy managers can look for DeAndre Hopkins and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to both get more work in his absence.

Marquise Brown (thumb) questionable to play Week 4
Marquise Brown (thumb) is questionable to play in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Fantasy Impact
Brown was added to the injury report this week because of a thumb injury, and his status for Sunday is now up in the air because of it. He’s officially considered questionable, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. If he’s out, Rondale Moore and rookie Michael Wilson will both be in line for more work against a tough 49ers’ defense.

Elijah Mitchell (knee) questionable to play Sunday
Elijah Mitchell (knee) is questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Mitchell’s status for Sunday is now up in the air thanks to a knee injury. The team officially has him listed as questionable to play and it’s unclear if he’s trending one way or the other. Christian McCaffrey is still the lead back on this offense either way, but he could be on the field even more if Mitchell is unavailable to play in Week 4.

DK Metcalf (ribs) practices in full Friday
DK Metcalf (ribs) was a full participant in Seattle’s practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Metcalf was sidelined at practice on Thursday as he continues to nurse his sore ribs. He was upgraded to full participation on Friday, however, and it looks like he will be 100% healthy for Week 4. He should play and fantasy managers can feel confident starting him in what should be a favorable matchup against the Giants’ defense.
