Early-season injury implications haven’t let up entering Week 4 of the NFL slate, and it continues to hinder fantasy football teams.

While Michael Thomas’ owners certainly were hoping the New Orleans Saints receiver would be able to return this Sunday (it’s part of the reason the Saints didn’t put him on injured reserve after a Week 1 ailment), they’ll have to wait another week for their first-round pick to take the field.

But Thomas’ owners aren’t the only ones who will be in that situation. Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin and Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers have been ruled out, as well. And then there’s players like Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson, Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins and Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss, who all have their statuses up in the air.

Here’s a full list of players whose injury statuses may impact your fantasy football lineup:
