Here are the Week 4 fantasy injuries and my commentary.
Cardinals:
TE Jerame Tuman is questionable with a hamstring injury. He has not practiced on Wednesday. He is the third string guy so he has not fantasy value.
WR Steve Breaston has a hamstring injury and is probable. He is the third receiver for the Cardinals. He has limited value unless Boldin or Fitzgerald gets injured. His value of a return man may be in jeopardy.
Falcons:
RB Michael Turner is probable with a foot injury. He fully practiced on Thursday. He is an every week starter. Start him unless something changes.
WR Laurent Robinson has a sprained knee and is out for week 4. He has limited to no fantasy value.
Ravens:
QB Troy Smith is out with tonsil issues. He has lost a bunch of weight since he started battling these issues. He has lost the starting job which he was about to win in training camp. He isquestionable and the tonsils continue to haunt him. He has gained some of the weight back. It may be too late for him to get a chance to start at QB.
RB Willis McGahee has a cut on his eye lid and is listed as probable. What?!? A cut on the eye lid. McGahee is now sharing carries so that will affect him more than a cut on the eye lid.
Bills:
TE Derek Fine has a thumb injury and is out. He is coming back from thumb surgery. He should not be on your fantasy team.
WR Roscoe Parrish is out after having surgery on his thumb . He is out 4 to 6 weeks.
Panthers:
WR Ryne Robinson has a knee injury and is questionable. He is down deep on the depth chart. He practiced on Thursday and should play this weekend. He should not be starting for your team even for off weeks.
RB Jonathan Stewart is probable with a foot injury. He will play this weekend and is a good game against the Falcons.
Bears:
WR Devin Hester has a rib injury with torn cartilage and is questionable. He was limited in practice on Thursday. Check on him before starting him this weekend. There are a lot of expectations about Hester having a break out year as a receiver. He is still developing.
WR Brandon Lloyd is questionable with a sore hip. He missed practice on Thursday.
Bengals:
RB Kenny Watson is probable with an hamstring injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday.
TE Ben Utecht has a sternum injury and is probable. He has been limited in practice this week.
Browns:
WR Donte Stallworth has a quad injury and is questionable for Sunday. He limited in practice on Thursday. He will be a game time decision.
WR Joe Jurevicius is out until October with a knee injury.
WR Braylon Edwards has a shoulder injury and is probable. He is expected to play this weekend.
Cowboys:
WR Sam Hurd is probable with a high ankle sprain. He fully practiced on Thursday. It looks like he should be back this weekend.
RB Felix Jones has a calf strain and is probable. He is expected to play Sunday and bring his big play ability with him.

WR Darrell Jackson has a calf injury and is listed as questionable for this weekend.

Texans:
WR Kevin Walter is probable with a toe injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday.
RB Ahman Green has an ankle injury and is questionable. He was limited in practice on Thursday. He has lost his starting job to Slaton so his value is very limited.

Patriots:
Off Week 4
Giants:
Off Week 4
Jets:
WR Laveranues Cole has a thigh injury and is questionable. He was limited in practice this week. I would keep him on your bench this weekend. Favre does need a healthy Coles against a desperate Chargers team but I am not convinced he will have him.
K Mike Nugent is listed as out for this week.
