Jaguars WR Laviska Shenault (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’s safe to use as you normally would for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is listed as questionable for this weekend's game against the Lions with a non-COVID illness. He put in a full practice on Friday and should be fine for Sunday. Just check back that morning to make sure he's active.
Ravens WR Marquise Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions after getting in only a limited practice on Friday. He was in the same boat last week before playing 72% of Baltimore’s offensive snaps and posting a 6-113-1 line vs. the Chiefs. Unless we hear otherwise, Brown is safe to get into Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Raiders QB Derek Carr (ankle) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. Carr has turned in QB9 and QB8 weekly finishes so far this season and is a viable fantasy start vs. the Dolphins on Sunday.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is once again listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He was "questionable" the past 2 weeks but hasn't seemed limited at all, totaling 19 carries and 16 targets. Unless we hear otherwise, Swift is safe to get into Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Cowboys WR Amari Cooper (rib) was listed as a full participant in Friday's practice. That's pretty much confirmation that he'll play through his cracked rib on Monday night vs. the Eagles. He obviously carries more risk than usual with that injury, but there's still loads of upside here.
Eagles RB Miles Sanders (chest) graduated to a full practice on Friday. He's good to go for Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys.
Colts WR Parris Campbell (abdomen) practiced all week and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll return as Indy’s #3 WR for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans but isn’t a viable fantasy play.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (toe, ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. It’ll be Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber in Vegas’ backfield again. Drake played 71% of the offensive snaps last week but was out-carried 13 to 7 by Barber. Drake racked up 6 targets, though, and is a borderline RB2 for Week 3.
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral) isn’t listed on the final Week 3 injury report. He put in a full practice on Friday, so we’re not expecting the pec to be a major issue. Big Ben has looked washed through 2 games, though, and will be without top WR Diontae Johnson on Sunday. He’s an unexciting QB2.
Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals after missing practice all week. We still don't have any details on his injury, but this looks like a potential multi-game absence. The loss of Johnson will elevate James Washington to Pittsburgh's #3 WR spot -- and leave behind lots of opportunity for WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster and Chase Claypool.
Rams RB Darrell Henderson (ribs) didn’t practice all week but will be a game-time decision for Sunday’s tilt vs. the Bucs. That game doesn’t kick off until 4:25 pm ET, but we’ll look for an update on Henderson on Sunday morning. Between the rib injury and a brutal matchup, he’ll be a shaky fantasy start if he plays. If Henderson is out, Sony Michel should get the majority of the Rams’ RB touches and would be in the RB2 conversation.
Cowboys WR Amari Cooper told reporters on Friday that he has a cracked rib. He also said that he'll play vs. the Eagles on Monday night. “I don’t need to be 100%” to play, Cooper said. We'll see how he's listed on Dallas' final injury report on Saturday. Assuming he's out there on Monday night, he'll be a risk/reward fantasy play.
WR Josh Gordon has been reinstated by the NFL and is eligible to play as early as Week 4, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Gordon is 30 now and hasn't played since December 2019. We'll see if a team takes a shot on him but wouldn't bother adding Gordon to fantasy rosters right now.
Bears WR Darnell Mooney (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Browns. He was listed as questionable the past 2 weeks -- but that was with a back issue. We’ll get Mooney’s game status by noon ET on Sunday.
Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. With Firkser sidelined last week, TE MyCole Pruitt ran 19 routes (40%) and saw 3 targets vs. TE Geoff Swaim’s 17 routes (38%) and 2 targets. Neither is a viable fantasy play.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Steelers. HC Zac Taylor said Friday that he wants to wait to see how Higgins feels on Sunday before ruling him out -- but he’s obviously a long shot. Higgins’ absence would elevate WR Auden Tate to the #3 WR spot and free up a bunch of targets for WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd.
Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. He was limited in practice all week. We’re expecting Engram to make his 2021 debut in this one -- but make him prove that he’s healthy before trusting him in fantasy lineups.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. It’s a concern, especially with the Giants coming off a long week after playing on Thursday last week. We’ll get Golladay’s game status by noon ET on Sunday, but the hip issue obviously adds risk to his Week 3 fantasy profile.
Colts QBs Carson Wentz (ankles) will be a game-time decision for this weekend’s tilt vs. the Titans, HC Frank Reich said Friday. Wentz returned to practice on Friday after sitting out the previous 2 days. He shouldn’t be in your Week 3 fantasy plans -- but Wentz would be better than QBs Jacob Eason and Brett Hundley for Indy’s skill-position guys.
