Kenneth Walker III (oblique) will play for the Seattle Seahawks against the Detroit Lions in Week 4 Monday night according to Adam Schefter.

Sam LaPorta (ankle) is expected to play in Week 4 for the Detroit Lions against the Seattle Seahawks Monday night.

Fantasy Impact

LaPorta was able to log a full practice session for head coach Dan Campbell Friday and is trending in the right direction barring any setbacks prior to kickoff. The second-year tight end will look to offer quarterback Jared Goff an option in the intermediate passing game against a Seattle defense that has held firm through the first three weeks of the regular season.

A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out for Week 4 against Buccaneers
A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 4 by the Philadelphia Eagles against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers according to Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Brown will miss a third consecutive contest due to the hamstring injury, joining DeVonta Smith (concussion) sidelined for Sunday’s matchup against the Buccaneers. Superstar running back Saquon Barkley will likely carry the load on offense, while wideout Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert remain the primary options in the passing game for quarterback Jalen Hurts Sunday.
