Puka Nacua, Alaric Jackson, and Rashod Bateman under NFL review
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) reports no additional players will be placed on the commissioner exempt list today, but three players remain under league review: Puka Nacua (WR, Los Angeles Rams), Alaric Jackson (OL, Los Angeles Rams), and Rashod Bateman (WR, Baltimore Ravens).
The NFL's chief spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed Bateman's situation involves the personal conduct policy: "The club has been in contact with the league regarding the matter, which is under review of the personal conduct policy."
What does this mean for your roster?
None of the three has been placed on the commissioner exempt list, which would make them ineligible to play while remaining on the roster. But that possibility has not been ruled out. A player placed on the exempt list cannot play until the league resolves the matter.
Bateman is Baltimore's No. 2 wide receiver, so his status directly affects his fantasy value and potentially bumps up whoever sits behind him on the depth chart if he is eventually sidelined. Nacua is a primary target in the Rams offense, making his situation worth tracking for the same reason.
Jackson's case matters less directly in fantasy but could affect the Rams offensive line if he misses time.
Until the league closes these reviews, treat all three as question marks heading into lineup decisions.
