Award-Winning Fantasy Football Advice

The Vikings are placing RB Aaron Jones on IR for the hamstring injury that knocked him out of Sunday night's loss to the Falcons. That means Jones will miss at least the next four games. That's particularly notable because the four games span across the Week 5 bye. The team was also already missing RB Ty Chandler (on IR with a knee injury).

Texans HC Demeco Ryans said Tuesday that WRs Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios are "progressing very well" and are expected back for this weekend's game against the Jaguars. Both guys have missed the first two games of the season with hamstring injuries. Kirk was in line to open the year as Houston's No. 2 WR and will probably take over that spot soon considering the team has been slow-playing rookie WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. Kirk is worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, although we wouldn't want to trust him in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Buccaneers DT Calijah Kancey tore his left pectoral muscle in Monday night's win over Houston, according to multiple reports. He'll have surgery Friday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, and miss the rest of the season.

First-round RB Omarion Hampton was held to just 24 rushing yards on 8 carries and was benched after a fourth-quarter fumbled exchange in the Chargers' 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The fumble was later given to QB Justin Herbert.

WR Quentin Johnston caught another TD bomb, this one from 60 yards out, as the Chargers eased by the Raiders 20-9 to cap off Week 2. With 8 total receptions for 150 yards and 3 TD, Johnston enters Week 3 as the No. 7 overall WR in PPR leageus.

After playing over 85% of the Raiders' snaps and logging 21 touches in Week 1, RB Ashton Jeanty dipped to a 55.7% snap share and garnered 14 touches in Las Vegas' 20-9 loss to the Chargers.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is active for tonight's game vs. the Chargers. He only got in a limited practice on Saturday, so it's safe to assume he won't be at 100% in this one. But we haven't heard anything about his snaps being limited. Go ahead and get Bowers in your fantasy lineup if you were waiting on him.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. had a brutal Week 2, catching 4 of 12 targets for 49 yards. He was charged with one drop but had a couple other catchable balls that he alligator-armed. HC Liam Coen blamed it on a wrist injury in his Monday press conference, despite Thomas Jr. not being listed on the Week 2 injury report.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn called WR Noah Brown (groin) a "long shot" to play against the Raiders this weekend. Brown was knocked out of the Thursday night loss to the Packers and could be looking at a multi-game absence. Rookie WR Jaylin Lane is the favorite to pick up Brown's snaps. He's not a viable Week 3 fantasy play but could be worth stashing in fantasy leagues with deep benches.
