Kyle Van Noy MLB | MIN
Ravens' Kyle Van Noy: Questionable for Week 4
Van Noy (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
After logging a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, Van Roy was able to get in a limited session Friday. The 34-year-old missed Week 3 but is hoping to return against Kansas City to help shore up a Baltimore run defense that was decked by the Lions last Monday night.

Broderick Washington DT | BAL
Ravens' Broderick Washington: Won't play Sunday
Washington (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
The 28-year-old was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Washington has tallied four total tackles and one pass defended across the Ravens' first three games this season. In his absence, Aeneas Peebles is expected to see increased reps on Baltimore's defensive line.

Isaiah Likely TE | NYG
Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Full practice, but questionable
Likely (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after being deemed a full practice participant Friday.
That Likely upgraded to full participation bodes well for his chances of making his regular-season debut this weekend, but coach John Harbaugh fell short of predicting that Friday, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, with the coach saying, "He looks good to me. We'll just have to see if it's the best thing for us on Sunday, and we haven't really decided that yet." If Likely is in uniform against Kansas City, he'd bolster a TE corps that also includes Mark Andrews (who logged a 6-91-2 line on six targets Week 3) and Charlie Kolar, a scenario that doesn't ensure high volume for Likely out of the gate.

Patrick Ricard RB | NYG
Ravens' Patrick Ricard: Out for Week 4
Ricard (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
Ricard is now in line to miss his fourth consecutive game as he continues to recover from a calf injury sustained in August. While there's still no timetable for the 31-year-old's return, his absence from practice all week suggests he remains far from a coming back.

Kristian Fulton CB | KC
Chiefs' Kristian Fulton: Could return Sunday
Fulton (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
Fulton missed the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Giants due to an ankle injury sustained the game prior, but he's got a chance to play Sunday after practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week. If Fulton is able to play in Week 4, he'd likely serve as one of Kansas City's top reserve corners. If not, Josh Williams is projected to see increased defensive work.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Clear to return Sunday
Worthy (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.
Worthy thus has been cleared for his first game action since he was knocked from the Chiefs' Week 1 loss early following a collision with TE Travis Kelce. Diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder afterward, Worthy sat out Weeks 2 and 3, but his ability to practice in full this week indicates he's ready for close to his typical workload. From Week 14 through Super Bowl LIX last season (minus Week 18), he handled greater than 80 percent of the offensive snaps regularly and recorded a 45-518-5 line on 58 targets and 12 carries for 63 yards and another touchdown across seven games.

Michael Danna LB | BUF
Chiefs' Mike Danna: Likely out again in Week 4
Danna (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
The 27-year-old downgraded from full practice Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Danna has appeared in two games for Kansas City this season, recording two total tackles across 47 defensive snaps. If he's sidelined for the second consecutive time in Week 4, expect Charles Omenihu to see increased work on the Chiefs' defensive line.

Theo Johnson TE | NYG
Giants' Theo Johnson: Good to go
Johnson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers
The Giants listed a slew of pass catchers on the Week 4 injury report, but all have been cleared to play in Jaxson Dart's first NFL start. Malik Nabers (shoulder) and Wan'Dale Robinson figure to continue leading the way, but it's possible a few more targets shift toward Johnson and/or Darius Slayton (calf) with a new QB taking over.
-
Darius Slayton WR | IND
Giants' Darius Slayton: Cleared to play
Slayton (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers
Among starting NFL wide receivers, Slayton ranks near the top in snap/route share (both above 90 percent) but close to the bottom for target rate (seven percent of routes). Things can't get much worse from a fantasy standpoint, even if new starting quarterback Jaxson Dart inevitably also throws to Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson far more often than Slayton.

Kyler Gordon CB | CHI
Bears' Kyler Gordon: Could return in Week 4
Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.
The Washington product was sidelined for Chicago's first three games this season due to a hamstring injury. However, he upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited practice session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday. Gordon is expected to serve as the Bears' top slot corner if he returns in Week 4. If not, expect Nick McCloud to start in Chicago's secondary.
