NFL Injury Report, Week 4: Latest news, updates on Justin Jefferson, Puka Nacua, more for fantasy football

Key Points:

• The 2026 NFL season has seen a surge in injuries, impacting key fantasy football players including QBs Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels, and skill position players like De'Von Achane, Justin Jefferson, and Breece Hall.
• QB Baker Mayfield of Tampa Bay is out for three weeks with a dislocated thumb, forcing the team to rely on backup Jalon Daniels and possibly explore other options, weakening the Bucs' passing game and fantasy value of associated receivers.
• Miami's top RB De'Von Achane suffered a season-ending torn ACL, with Ollie Gordon II expected to take over as RB1; meanwhile, Jets' Breece Hall is week-to-week with a quad injury, and Braelon Allen is the likely replacement if Hall misses time.
• Key wide receivers Justin Jefferson (ankle sprain) and Mike Evans (rib strain) are questionable for Week 4, with Jefferson not practicing midweek and Evans listed day-to-day; Jordan Addison and other secondary options may gain fantasy relevance if they miss time.
• Other notable injuries include Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) expected to miss time in New Orleans, Puka Nacua (groin/hip) limited but possibly returning soon for the Rams, and Carolina's Jalen Coker questionable with a quad strain, all affecting fantasy depth and waiver wire priorities.
