Joe Mixon (knee) is officially out for Week 4.

Mixon has started running and cutting, and there was some thought that he’d have a shot to play this week, but he’s been ruled out ahead of the weekend. The second-year running back looks to have a good chance of playing in Week 5 against the Dolphins, though. We’ll monitor his practice status throughout next week. Giovani Bernard should get another 15-20 touches after he had 17 touches in his start last Sunday.

Tyler Higbee (knee) is back in the game for the Rams.

Higbee is back in action in a very high-scoring first half, so let’s see if he gets into the action over the final half-plus of the game.

Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 4.

Fournette was a full participant in today’s practice, which indicates he has a very good chance of suiting up on Sunday against the Jets. It would probably take a setback in pre-game warmups to keep Fournette out of the game, and thankfully the Jaguars play in the early slate of games, so his status will be known by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday. He should be ready to go as a backend RB1 option versus the Jets.

Tyler Higbee (knee) is questionable to return against the Vikings.

It’s unclear when Higbee was hurt, but the Rams will roll with mostly Gerald Everett at tight end at least for now. Hopefully the injury isn’t too bad and Higbee can get back in the game in what looks like a potential shootout, though.

Dwayne Washington was promoted to New Orleans’ 53-man roster.

The Saints have been trying to find the right fit behind Alvin Kamara while Mark Ingram has been serving his four-game suspension, and Washington might get a crack at it this weekend. The former Lions running back is just a FLEX in very deep fantasy leagues, though.

Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) was limited in today’s practice.

Fitz is likely to be limited again tomorrow before being listed as questionable and ultimately playing on Sunday against the Seahawks, but we’ll update you tomorrow to verify his official game status when it is released.

Tyler Higbee held without a catch in Week 4 win over the Vikings.

Higbee wasn’t even needed on a night where Jared Goff threw for 465 yards, but he was fortunately able to return after leaving briefly with a knee injury. The third-year tight end isn’t a fantasy option on an offense the revolves around Todd Gurley and the wide receivers.
