Rob Gronkowski (ribs) will likely miss multiple weeks.

Gronk cracked two ribs in last week’s loss, so the injury is more serious than initially believed (he returned against the Rams), and the monster tight end now faces an extended absence. This presents a prime buy-low opportunity for those who want to acquire Gronk, and the Bucs will lean on Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard for as long as he’s out.

The Seahawks have placed Rashaad Penny (calf) on injured reserve.

Penny has already missed two games, and now he’ll miss at least three more. Chris Carson should continue dominating touches.

The Patriots have activated N’Keal Harry (shoulder) from injured reserve.

Harry will miss the minimum of three weeks after his preseason injury, and he should immediately push for snaps tomorrow night. The former first-round pick can contribute as an underneath weapon and red zone target.

Josh Jacobs (ankle) is questionable for Week 4.

Jacobs was able to practice on a limited basis all week, and we are expecting he will be out there for a huge AFC West showdown on Monday night. That said, fantasy owners without Peyton Barber or Kenyan Drake might be in a tough spot, but Jacobs is ranked as an RB2 for a plus matchup.

The Ravens have elevated Le’Veon Bell from the practice squad.

Bell will make his Baltimore debut against the Broncos, which will make the group even more of a committee. We would say Bell is worth a speculative add for running back-needy teams.

John Ross has been activated from injured reserve.

Ross could immediately have a role tomorrow against the Saints with Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) out, but we wouldn’t recommend him in redraft leagues for his team debut.

Chase Claypool (hamstring) has been ruled out for tomorrow.

Claypool presumably is not making the trip to Green Bay for tomorrow’s Week 4 game against the Packers. This isn’t a surprise after the hamstring issue popped up during the week, but at least Pittsburgh gets Diontae Johnson (knee) back in the lineup after he missed last Sunday.
