  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Active, as expected

    Rodgers (knee) is active Sunday against the Bills.

    Rodgers has been tagged with a questionable designation for three consecutive weeks, and in a pattern Green Bay fans and fantasy owners have come to expect, he'll suit up yet again for the green and gold. While it's no secret the mobility of Rodgers has been limited due to the injury, he's still managed to throw for six touchdowns and zero interceptions through the season's first three weeks. In each game this season, Rodgers has compiled 265 or more yards, a completion percentage of 61 percent or greater and at least one passing touchdown, giving him a relatively secure fantasy floor despite not playing at 100 percent.

  • Sam Bradford QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Sam Bradford: Likely inactive Sunday

    Bradford is expected to be the Cardinals' No. 3 quarterback moving forward, resulting in inactive status on game days, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.

    The Cardinals won't officially confirm their Week 4 inactives until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 PM ET kickoff, but Bradford seemingly will be wearing street clothes with the Seahawks in town. Coach Steve Wilks will thus trust in Josh Rosen as the starting quarterback, with Mike Glennon backing up the 2018 first-round pick.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Browns' Tyrod Taylor: Won't serve as backup Sunday

    Taylor (concussion/back) may not be active for Sunday's game against the Raiders with Drew Stanton expected to serve as the backup to starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, Sam Wyche of NFL Network reports.

    Taylor exited the Week 3 game against the Jets with the concussion, clearing the way for Mayfield to guide the Browns to a comeback win and cement himself as the team's new No. 1 signal-caller. It looked as though Taylor would retain the top backup duties in Week 4 after clearing the concussion protocol a few days ago, but the back injury seems to have thwarted those plans. Taylor seems likely to be included among the Browns' inactives this week, but he should supplant Stanton as the No. 2 option once he has made a full recovery from the back issue.

    Cardinals' Sam Bradford: Healthy for Week 4

    Bradford (pectoral) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    As if getting demoted to backup quarterback behind a rookie wasn't enough, Bradford dealt with a pectoral injury this week, limiting him Wednesday and Thursday before taking every rep Friday. He'll enter the weekend with a clean bill of health, but snaps on Sundays will be difficult to come by unless something befalls Josh Rosen.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Titans' Marcus Mariota: Healthier heading into Week 4

    Coach Mike Vrabel said the Titans hope to have a larger array of plays for Mariota this Sunday against the Eagles, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Mariota donned a glove on his right hand when he entered last Sunday's eventual win at Jacksonville, but downfield throws were not a part of the equation due to lingering issues with his elbow and hand. After Mariota practiced in full this week, Vrabel seems to think such throws will be sprinkled into the game plan Sunday, boosting the prospects of Mariota and the Titans' skill-position talent. There's nowhere to go but up for Mariota on the heels of a 100-yard passing performance Week 3.

  • Titans' Blaine Gabbert: Iffy for Week 4

    Gabbert (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Given that he didn't practice all week, Gabbert's status for the contest is truly cloudy. In any case, Marcus Mariota's elbow issue will not prevent him from starting Sunday's game, with Austin Davis on hand to serve as the Titans' No. 2 QB this weekend if Gabbert is inactive.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Listed as questionable again

    Rodgers (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

    Rodgers played through a questionable tag the past two weeks, throwing for 546 yards and three touchdowns against the Vikings and Redskins. The bigger concern for Sunday is Randall Cobb (hamstring), who was held out of Friday's practice and now appears truly questionable for Week 4.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Browns' Tyrod Taylor: Listed as questionable this week

    Taylor (concussion/back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    The QB is traveling with the Browns to Oakland for the contest, but it remains to be seen if Taylor will be cleared to back up Baker Mayfield on Sunday. If he isn't, Drew Stanton would be in line to handle the assignment.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Positive reports following Thursday's practice

    Head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday morning that Rodgers (knee) took some team reps at Thursday's practice and "looked good" while getting "everything accomplished that we set out to," Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Rodgers logged an official limited practice Thursday for the first time since injuring his knee Week 1, which was the first sign he was making progress in his recovery. McCarthy's comments would be another indication things are going in the right direction. It remains to be seen how much work, if any, Rodgers gets in Friday, but McCarthy expects him to take part in Saturday's jog-through, and as long as he makes it through that session without issue, he would presumably be good to go for Sunday's game against the Bills.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Explodes for career-best night

    Goff completed 26 of 33 passes for 465 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in the Rams' 38-31 win over the Vikings on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for seven yards.

    Goff refused to be outdueled by Kirk Cousins despite the latter's own stellar night, as he compiled a career-high passing yardage total while also throwing a career-best five touchdown passes. The third-year pro averaged a whopping 14.1 yards per attempt while leading his top three receivers to 100-yard efforts. Goff has looked masterful in his second year in head coach Sean McVay's offense, completing at least 75.0 percent of his attempts in each of the last three games while throwing for no less than 354 yards during that span. He'll look to continue his record-setting pace against the Seahawks in a Week 5 divisional battle.
