Travis Benjamin (foot) is questionable for Sunday.

Benjamin was limited in practice all week and is likely headed for a game-time call. The speedy receiver is off the fantasy radar unless Keenan Allen (knee) misses the game, though.

Keenan Allen (knee/tooth) is listed as questionable for Week 4.

Allen missed Wednesday and Thursday practices, but he was back today for at least a limited practice session. There’s real concern about Allen being able to play on Sunday, and the team doesn’t play until 4:25 PM ET, so fantasy owners could be in a predicament if his status isn’t cleared up by the early games. If Allen does play, he can be inserted into fantasy lineups as a WR1.

The Colts are promoting Jeremy McNichols from the practice squad, according to Mike Garafolo.

As Garafolo states, this could be a bad sign for the status of Marlon Mack (hamstring) this week. The former fifth-round pick of the Bucs has yet to record an NFL carry, so perhaps he will get his first one on Sunday in Frank Reich’s backfield committee. Still, McNichols isn’t on the fantasy radar.

The Saints released Jonathan Williams.

New Orleans promoted Dwayne Washington from the practice squad, and releasing Williams is a corresponding move. Williams re-established himself this summer and should receive opportunities elsewhere moving forward.

Keke Coutee is off the Week 4 injury report.

Coutee has been limited all regular season with his hamstring injury, but the rookie receiver is set to make his NFL debut this Sunday against Indianapolis. Coutee isn’t a recommended fantasy option in his first game, but he’s someone to keep an eye on and could potentially become a clear starter for the Texans behind DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller.

Will Fuller V is off the Week 4 injury report.

Fuller was limited in the week with his hamstring issue, but he’s ready to go for this weekend against the Colts. Fuller is a WR2/FLEX option for Week 4, and he’d get a boost if DeAndre Hopkins (questionable) happens to sit out the game.

DeAndre Hopkins (thumb/ankle/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 4.

While Hopkins is listed on the injury report with three different ailments, we don’t think it’s serious enough that he’ll miss Sunday’s game against the Colts. The Texans are attempting to avoid an 0-4 hole and could use their top receiver on the field. You should be able to insert Hopkins into lineups as a great WR1, but check back in on Sunday morning to make sure he’s active.
