Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice. His injury is reportedly more of a pain-tolerance issue, so we're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, but we'll continue to keep an eye on his progress over the next few days.
Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow missed Wednesday's practice with a concussion. It's the 1st we've heard of it but has Renfrow's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Titans in question. We'll see if he's able to do anything in Thursday's practie.
Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this issue last week, although that was after 3 limited practices. We'll see if Meyers is able to get on the field Thursday, ahead of this weekend's game vs. Baltimore.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was limited in Wednesday's practice and is on the injury report with a right elbow. Jackson had a protective sleeve on his right arm, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley, and told the media afterward that he didn't throw at all during practice. But neither Jackson nor HC Jim Harbaugh expressed any concern about the QB's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. “I’m going to throw Sunday – a lot Sunday,” Jackson said. We'll continue to keep an eye on this, but Jackson can stay penciled into Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) put in another full practice on Wednesday. Of course, he was full all last week before missing the Dolphins game, so his status for Sunday's tilt with the Patriots remains uncertain. Baltimore's RBs have been completely ineffective in Dobbins' absence.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He banged up that foot early in Monday night's win over the Titans but was able to return. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He missed Monday night's game vs. the Titans after hurting his ankle in practice on Saturday, but it looks like he has a chance to return for this weekend's divisional clash with Miami. Check back tomorrow for another update.
Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs but isn't a viable fantasy play at this stage.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (quad) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see how he progresses through the week and whether he's ready to return for Sunday's showdown with the Chiefs.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Colts is in question, so fantasy owners should have a backup plan in place.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (rib) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's positive news after he missed practice last Thursday and Friday before ending up inactive for the Bucs game. Kamara seemingly has a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.
Lions HC Dan Campbell said Wednesday that RB D'Andre Swift's ankle is "feeling much better" this week than last. Swift won't practice on Wednesday, so he's clearly still not at 100%. But we're tentatively expecting something much closer to a full workload in this weekend's game vs. the Vikings.
Cowboys WR Michael Gallup (knee) "will take a full slate of reps" in practice this week, HC Mike McCarthy said Wednesday. Insider Clarence Hill believes Gallup is "on track" to play vs. the Giants on Monday night. He won't be a Week 3 fantasy option in his 1st game off a torn ACL and with Cooper Rush under center. But Gallup is worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.
The Bucs placed RB Gio Bernard (ankle) on IR, knocking him out for at least 4 games. He's been active the first 2 weeks but hasn't played a snap on offense. RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn figures to take over that role while Bernard is out. Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White are locked in as Tampa's top 2 RBs.
The 49ers have promoted RB Marlon Mack from the practice squad. San Francisco has already lost RBs Elijah Mitchell and Ty Davis-Price to multi-week injuries. Jeff Wilson will open Week 3's game vs. the Broncos as the lead back, with Mack and rookie Jordan Mason behind him. Mack hasn't looked like the same player since his 2020 Achilles tear, so we're not optimistic about his chances of making an impact with the 'Niners. He's only worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues.
Browns DE Myles Garrett missed Tuesday's practice with a neck injury, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. HC Kevin Stefanski said only "we'll see" when asked whether Garrett would be able to play Thursday night against the Steelers. Already without DE Jadeveon Clowney, the Browns defense would be in rough shape without its star pass rusher.
Bears TE Cole Kmet failed to record a catch in a Week 2 loss at Green Bay. His lone target was dropped. That means that through 2 weeks, the young TE has a grand total of 2 targets…for 0 yards. He’s also outside the top-30 TEs in routes run (31). In theory, opportunities should come in a thin Bears passing game that'll likely continue playing from behind. But we’d have to see some signs of life from Kmet before considering him anything close to a TE streamer. He gets Houston at home in Week 3.
The Buccaneers are signing WR Cole Beasley to their practice squad, with the expectation he is soon elevated to the active roster, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. The Bucs have been dealing with multiple WR injuries and will miss WR Mike Evans for a game after his suspension for a Week 2 fight. We'll see whether Beasley can get onto the roster in time for Week 3. We'll also see exactly who else is available at the position once he does make a game-day roster. Beasley will need some help to reach fantasy relevance.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown still led the team in targets in Week 2, but his 8 looks merely beat WR DeVonta Smith by 1 and TE Dallas Goedert by 2. Brown caught 5 balls for 69 yards in the easy win over Minnesota. Smith caught all 7 of his targets for 80 yards, while Goedert supplied 5 receptions for a team-high 82 yards. QB Jalen Hurts spread his other 10 pass attempts among 5 teammates. WR Quez Watkins caught the night's only TD pass, a 53-yarder that was 1 of his 2 receptions on 2 targets. Brown's share marked a predictable fall from the heights of Week 1, but he still garnered 25.8% target share vs. Minnesota.
