- **Evan Engram**: The Jaguars tight end did not practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury, which has kept him out for several games. Rookie Brian Thomas Jr. is expected to continue seeing increased usage in Engram's absence.
- **Chris Godwin**: Godwin was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a neck injury, but it is not considered serious, and he is expected to play in Week 4.
- **Mike Evans**: Evans was limited at practice for the second consecutive day due to a knee injury. His status for Week 4 is still uncertain and will depend on Friday's practice.
### Player Projections and Matchups
- **Najee Harris**: Despite being seen with his arm in a sling earlier in the week, Harris is expected to have no limitations against the Colts. With Jaylen Warren's status in question due to a knee injury, Harris is likely to surpass his projection, especially given the Colts' vulnerability to running backs.
- **Darnell Odunze**: The Bears' rookie wide receiver had a breakout performance in Week 3 and is poised for another strong game against the Rams, who have struggled to defend wide receivers.
- **Peyton Wilson**: Wilson has a favorable matchup against the Commanders, who have allowed significant fantasy points to wide receivers this season. He is expected to outperform his projection of 6.2 fantasy points.
- **Joe Burrow**: After a strong performance in Week 3, Burrow is expected to underperform his projection against the Panthers, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
### Defense/Special Teams (D/ST) Rankings
- For Week 4, top D/ST options include the Las Vegas Raiders, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets, and Houston Texans, all of whom have favorable matchups that suggest low-scoring games or strong defensive performances.
- Other solid options include the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams, and Pittsburgh Steelers, who face opponents that could lead to decent defensive outings.
### Polarizing Fantasy Players
- Fantasy football experts are discussing several polarizing players for Week 4, including those with uncertain injury statuses and those facing challenging or favorable matchups. These discussions help fantasy managers make informed decisions about their lineups.
These updates and insights are crucial for fantasy football managers as they finalize their lineups for Week 4, ensuring they make the best possible decisions based on the latest injury news, player projections, and defensive matchups.
