Overview
- Arizona’s James Conner is out for the season with an ankle injury, and multiple outlets rank Trey Benson as the week’s No. 1 pickup with RB2/Flex expectations ahead of Thursday’s matchup vs. Seattle.
- Washington’s Austin Ekeler tore his Achilles, opening snaps for Jeremy McNichols, who flashed with 4 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown but projects to share work with Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Chris Rodriguez.
- The Chargers lost Najee Harris to a season-ending Achilles tear, leaving rookie Omarion Hampton entrenched as the starter and Hassan Haskins as the backup.
- Breakout receivers are headline adds: Las Vegas’ Tre Tucker erupted for 8-145-3 and is earning steady targets from Geno Smith, while Chargers WR Quentin Johnston continues a productive start and remains lightly rostered.
- Hunter Henry (8 catches, 90 yards, 2 TDs) leads tight end pickups, with Miami rookie Ollie Gordon emerging as a red-zone handcuff; consensus waiver lists provide budget guidance and streaming notes ahead of Week 4.
