Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. His absence last week turned WR Jalen Nailor into a full-time player. He ran a route on 97% of pass plays, catching three of four targets for 54 yards and a score. He's in play as a WR4 in deep fantasy leagues.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. It's a downgrade from last week, when Allen was questionable on the final injury report before winding up inactive. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 4. His absence this weekend adds target upside to WRs D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze. We also saw TE Cole Kmet's routes and targets climb with Allen out last week.
Browns RB Pierre Strong (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He carried twice and saw three targets on a 24% snap rate in a healthy Week 1, so his absence leaves a few extra touches for RBs Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Giants. He remained sidelined in practice all week and isn't a lock to be back for Week 4. Jordan Akins stepped in as Cleveland's lead TE last week but saw just one target on a 53% route rate. He's not a viable fantasy option.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Friday that he's "pessimistic" RB Raheem Mostert (chest) will play vs. the Seahawks this weekend. Mostert has put in two limited practices so far this week and hasn't been ruled out yet. But fantasy owners should start preparing to be without him again in Week 3. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report later today.
Jets RB Braelon Allen led the team with 55 rushing yards in Thursday night's win over the Patriots. He averaged 5.0 yards per carry on his 11 attempts. RB Breece Hall totaled 54 yards on his 16 carries (3.4 YPC). Allen flashed impressive acceleration and power throughout. He had a pair of 11-yard runs, and seven of his 11 runs went for 5+ yards. Allen also caught all three of his targets for 13 yards.
Jets WR Garrett Wilson caught five of nine targets for 33 yards and a score in Thursday night's win over the Patriots. It was a frustrating night for Wilson outside of that TD, which came from two yards out on a well-thrown ball from QB Aaron Rodgers. There were multiple missed connections where Rodgers and Wilson just didn't appear to quite be on the same page. There was also a back-shoulder throw that would have gone for about 20 yards, but Wilson's second foot tapped just out of bounds. On the night, Rodgers completed 56% of his passes at 3.7 yards per attempt to Wilson vs. 85% at 9.5 yards per attempt to everyone else.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers turned back the clock in an easy Week 3 win over the Patriots. He completed 27 of 35 passes (77%) for 281 yards (8.0 YPA), two TDs, and 0 INTs. Rodgers and WR Garrett Wilson weren't on the same page on a few routes (four of the eight incompletions were intended for Wilson), but Rodgers was otherwise deadly accurate to all levels of the field. He even flashed some remaining mobility, carrying three times for 18 yards and making multiple throws on the move. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Rodgers completed all five of his passes when on the run for 62 yards and a TD.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson mustered just 23 scoreless yards in Thursday night's loss to the Jets. He averaged 3.8 yards per carry on his six attempts and was not targeted. Stevenson appeared to suffer a finger injury midway through the second quarter and missed the rest of that possession. But he returned and played the entire second half. His bigger problem was that New England ran just 48 plays and was playing from behind throughout.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Thursday. HC Doug Pederson said earlier this week that Bigsby's shoulder injury wasn't serious, and this limited practice puts him on track to play vs. the Bills on Monday night.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He said afterward that he took Wednesday off to rest a sore ankle but that it felt fine on Thursday. We'll see what Lamb does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report, but we're tentatively projecting him to play his usual role vs. the Ravens on Sunday.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hand) returned to a full practice on Thursday. It's confirmation that he'll be ready for his usual role vs. the Dolphins this weekend. Metcalf sits 14th in our Week 3 WR Rankings.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That seemingly puts him on track to play vs. the Packers this weekend, but we'll see how Spears is listed on the final injury report tomorrow. He'd be no better than a low-end RB3 if he suits up, but he'd siphon touches from lead back Tony Pollard.
Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Texans this weekend. We'll let you know how Addison is listed on the final injury report on Friday afternoon.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's in serious danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also missed practice again on Thursday. Grab RB Cam Akers if he's available in your league. He'll be a top-30 RB play if Mixon and Pierce are out.
Colts K Matt Gay (quad) returned to a full practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It looks like he'll be ready to kick vs. the Bears this weekend. He's not a great fantasy option with the Colts' implied total at 22.5 points.
Jets LB C.J. Mosley is inactive for tonight's game against the Patriots because of a toe injury. His absence leaves full-time duty for Jamien Sherwood next to Quincy Williams but doesn't change the outlook for the team defense. Check our updated LB rankings to see where the active Jets have landed.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Thursday. It was his first practice since hurting his hamstring exactly two weeks ago. Higgins seemingly has a shot to play vs. the Commanders on Monday night, but we'll keep you updated on his progress over the next few days. The timing of that game could make Higgins a tricky situation for fantasy owners.
Niners TE George Kittle missed practice with hamstring tightness Thursday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the TE's status for Sunday's game against the Rams "is in question."
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) did not practice on Thursday. That's five straight missed practices for the 32-year-old. He seems unlikely to play against the Colts this weekend, but we'll get another update on Allen's status tomorrow afternoon.
