New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara will play in Week 4 despite suffering from two hip and rib injuries this week.

Fantasy Impact

Kamara completed a DNP limited-limited exercise series this week; His early absence caused quite a scare, but he appears well-positioned to face his division rivals in Atlanta. Kamara has been a star this season, highlighted by a four-touchdown performance in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. He has a half PPR Week 4 ECR of RB5, a must in all leagues.

Deebo Samuel Sr. is expected to play against the Patriots on Sunday
San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr., who has been dealing with a calf injury, is expected to return to action in Week 4 against the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

It’s unclear if he could be included in any kind of pitch count, but after initially having a multi-week schedule, Samuel will return after just a week out due to a calf injury. Samuel was DNP-limited in practice, and when he plays, he offers high-end upside as a threat to score valuable and designed touchdowns in a dangerous offense that returns its best weapons (TE George Kittle will also return) . in week 4). This reduces the value for any managers who are betting on Flex Jauan Jennings again after his successful performance in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

Allen was listed as questionable after running a limited-limited-full variation in practice prior to Week 4. The Pro Bowl wideout had four catches for 29 yards in the season opener, and after rookie Rome Odunze flashed in Week 3, Allen should pair with Odunze and veteran WR DJ Moore to set up a trio of receivers that will keep the rookie quarterback Caleb Williams could inspire a duel with the LA Rams’ vulnerable defense.
