Kenneth Walker III (oblique) will play for the Seattle Seahawks against the Detroit Lions on Monday night in Week 4, according to Adam Schefter.

Walker III was able to complete a limited practice session for head coach Mike Macdonald on Friday and will now return to the backfield on Monday night against a stingy Detroit forward defense. Zach Charbonnet will likely return to a backup role behind Walker III.

Sam LaPorta (ankle) is expected to play in Week 4
Sam LaPorta (ankle) is expected to play for the Detroit Lions in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact

LaPorta was able to complete a full practice session for head coach Dan Campbell on Friday and is on track barring any setbacks before kickoff. The second-year tight end will look to provide quarterback Jared Goff with an option in the intermediate passing game against a Seattle defense that has been stout through the first three weeks of the regular season.

AJ Brown (hamstring injury) is out for Week 4 against the Buccaneers
According to Adam Schefter, AJ Brown (hamstring injury) has been ruled out for the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Brown will miss a third straight contest with the hamstring injury, joining DeVonta Smith who will miss Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a concussion. Superstar running back Saquon Barkley will likely carry the brunt of the offense, while wideout Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert continue to be the primary options in the passing game for quarterback Jalen Hurts on Sunday.
