Pete Carroll says Russell Wilson's sprained MCL left knee doing "remarkably well." I asked if he expects QB to play Sunday: "Yes" #Seahawks

From his concussion water to his holy knee, Russell Wilson looks like he is expected to play Week 4 against the Jets. The Jets have a very good defense and a scary front four, which should look to take as many shots at Wilson as they can. If he does go, receiver Doug Baldwin locks in as a WR1 this week likely facing off against a struggling Darrelle Revis. Tight end Jimmy Graham also had a nice game last week and would keep a high ranking with Wilson under center.
Rex Ryan says he “can’t say” about where Sammy Watkins stands health-wise. Bills are waiting and seeing how it goes with him.

Watkins was held out in Week 3 and has yet to have a solid performance so far this season. With Rex Ryan giving no positive news, it doesn’t look good for his odds playing against the Patriots. Even if Watkins does end up going, the Patriots held superstar DeAndre Hopkins in check last week, making Watkins a less than ideal play.
Bears expect RB Jeremy Langford to be sidelined 4-6 weeks with sprained ankle, per source. https://t.co/atPptt0dTT

Tough news for Langford owners as he’s going to be sidelined the next month to a month and a half. He wasn’t looking particularly good so far this year and was already in danger of losing touches to backup Jordan Howard. Now Howard will be RB1 in Chicago and should be owned in every league going forward.
Surgery on Vereen's triceps is likely but recovery time is in the area of two months, sources say. Potential he goes on IR/comes off later.

Running back Shane Vereen injured his triceps Sunday against Washington. With Vereen going down and Rashad Jennings already banged up, look for Orleans Darkwa to get the big boost in value. Jennings will be evaluated all week, so it’s no guarantee that he’ll suit up Sunday. The Giants offensive line has struggled to get the running game set up so far, so Darkwa doesn’t possess the same potential as Jordan Howard mentioned earlier.
Quick Hits:
- Chiefs coach Andy Reid said “there’s a chance” Jamaal Charles suits up for Week 4
- Scumbag Greg Hardy was arrested for possession of cocaine. Lock him up for as long as possible
- Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert is “close to returning”
- Cardinals receiver Michael Floyd is in the league’s concussion protocol
