Cole Kmet TE | CHI
Bears' Cole Kmet: Tending to groin issue
Kmet was limited at practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Kmet has played the lion's share of the Bears' offensive snaps this season, and while he ran a route on 71 percent of them this past Sunday against the Cowboys, he was targeted only once by QB Caleb Williams. Fortunately for managers that roster Kmet, it happened to be a 10-yard touchdown catch. Meanwhile, rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland wasn't able to practice Wednesday due to the hip injury that knocked him out of Week 3 action. Kmet thus appears poised for another large workload Week 4 at Las Vegas, assuming he's able to suit up and Loveland is inhibited or even sidelined.

Theo Johnson TE | NYG
Giants' Theo Johnson: Dealing with toe injury
Johnson missed Wednesday's practice with a toe injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The good news is that his toe is listed as the problem, rather than his foot. Johnson had Lisfranc surgery on his foot last December, bringing his rookie season to an early end. He returned healthy for spring practices and has now picked up where he left off in a near-every-down role -- with an 87 percent snap share through three weeks -- but Johnson still isn't getting many targets, with a 10 percent share ranking fifth on the team. An absence for Week 4 against the Chargers would mean more work for Daniel Bellinger, who also has an established track record of low target rates.

Will Dissly TE | LAC
Chargers' Will Dissly: Not spotted at practice
Dissly (knee) is not present at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Dissly couldn't gain clearance to suit up Week 3, and he hasn't practiced in any capacity since emerging from the Chargers' win over the Raiders on Monday night in Week 2 with a knee injury. While Dissly was sidelined Week 3, rookie fifth-round pick Oronde Gadsden made his debut and impressed with five catches for 46 yards on seven targets. If Dissly is again unable to suit up Sunday versus the Giants, Gadsden will continue to benefit from increased opportunities.

Cameron Latu TE | PHI
Eagles' Cameron Latu: Signed to active roster
The Eagles signed Latu from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Latu had been elevated for action Week 2 and Week 3, and he now gets a long-term spot on the 53-man roster due to Philadelphia placing three other players on IR. Expect Latu to continue contributing primarily on special teams while also playing a reserve role on offense as the Eagles travel to Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Kyle Pitts TE | ATL
Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Limited with toe injury
Pitts (toe) was limited in practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Pitts was also limited by a toe issue last Thursday, though he sandwiched that session between two full practices and managed to avoid carrying an injury designation into Atlanta's loss to the Panthers in Week 3. He'll work to gain similar clearance for Sunday's contest against the Commanders. Through three games this season, Pitts has compiled 15 catches for 135 yards and zero touchdowns on 19 targets.

Ja'Tavion Sanders TE | CAR
Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Considered week-to-week
Sanders (ankle) is week-to-week due to the high-ankle sprain he suffered during the Panthers' win over the Falcons in Week 3, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Sanders is not practicing Wednesday but is also not wearing the walking boot he was previously spotted in, per Joe Person of The Athletic. The second-year pro appears likely to sit out Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots, and possibly longer, but the team hasn't yet provided an official timetable for his recovery. If Sanders indeed misses time, Tommy Tremble will be positioned for an uptick in receiving work.

Noah Gray TE | KC
Chiefs' Noah Gray: Targeted six times in win
Gray caught three of six targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.
Gray played 68 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. Meanwhile, teammate Travis Kelce played 74 percent of the snaps, his lowest mark through three games. Despite his increase in snap share and targets, Gray was unable to get much going while the Kansas City's offense continues to try to find its footing early in the 2025 campaign. The 26-year-old remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Ravens.

Jack Stoll TE | NO
Saints' Jack Stoll: Hits pay dirt against Seattle
Stoll caught two of three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.
Stoll's two catches were his first of the season, while his trip to the end zone was his first score of his NFL career. The veteran tight end played just 32 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps, while starter Juwan Johnson had a 90 percent snap share. Barring an injury to Johnson, Stoll's minimal involvement in the passing game through three weeks should keep him far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Bills.

Charlie Kolar TE | BAL
Ravens' Charlie Kolar: Two catches vs. Lions
Kolar caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Monday's 38-30 loss to the Lions.
Kolar's two receptions Monday were his first of the season. The 26-year-old tight end played 29 of the Ravens' 57 offensive snaps in the contest, while teammate Mark Andrews was on the field for 46 snaps. It was a big day for Andrews, as he caught all six of his targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns, while Kolar was mostly used as a blocker. With Isaiah Likely (foot) nearing a return, Kolar will likely see his playing time take a hit in the coming weeks. He should remain far off the fantasy radar going forward, and next up for the Ravens is a Week 4 matchup against the Chiefs.

Tip Reiman TE | ARI
Cardinals' Tip Reiman: Two catches against 49ers
Reiman caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the 49ers.
Reiman made his return in Week 3 after missing the previous game due to a foot injury suffered in the season opener. The 24-year-old tight end operated as Arizona's No. 2 tight end, playing 33 of the team's 66 offensive snaps while Trey McBride handled 58 snaps. Barring an injury to McBride, Reiman won't see enough consistent usage to be trusted for fantasy purposes on a weekly basis. The Cardinals are set to host the Seahawks in Week 4.
