Three moves since the midday refresh, and the biggest one changes a Sunday lineup.

• Michael Pittman Jr. (PIT WR) is out. Pittsburgh downgraded him from questionable at 1:07 p.m. ET with the foot injury that cost him Thursday and Friday practice. Start a healthy WR3 in his place and hold him; this is a one-game absence, not an IR-slot injury.
• DK Metcalf (PIT WR) moves up a tier. With Pittman out and only Roman Wilson and rookie Germie Bernard behind him, start Metcalf as a low-end WR1 at New England rather than a WR2.
• Puka Nacua (LAR WR) is questionable. He missed a second straight practice Saturday, and Sean McVay says the groin soreness is separate from his August core muscle injury. Flex him rather than locking him into a WR2 slot, because a Monday kickoff leaves no way to replace him once Sunday starts. Davante Adams and Tutu Atwell gain if he sits.
• Omar Cooper Jr. (NYJ WR) is on injured reserve. The Jets made the injured reserve move official Saturday, a minimum of four games that puts Week 5 as his earliest return. Drop him in 12-team leagues.
