Lamar Jackson Struggles Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't look like the defending NFL MVP in Monday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson was held to just 97 passing yards, going 15-for-28 and throwing one touchdown. Jackson did lead the team in rushing yards with 83 of them on nine carries, salvaging his day for fantasy managers, […]

Justice Hill Inactive Again

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is a healthy scratch on Monday night against the Chiefs, making it three weeks in a row that the second-year back hasn't played. Fantasy managers had high hopes for Hill last year, but it's become clear that he's not going to have a consistent role -- or even any […]

Sammy Watkins Active Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (concussion, neck) is active for Monday night's meeting against the Baltimore Ravens. An inconsistent weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Watkins is best viewed as a risky DFS play this week for fantasy managers looking to differentiate their lineups from everyone else's, because you can't bet on Watkins having […]

Chris Godwin Exits With Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin won't return to Sunday's Buccaneers game against the Broncos with a hamstring injury. He'll finish with five catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. Hopefully, Godwin not returning is because the game was already out of hand when he left and not a sign that Tom Brady will […]

Davante Adams Officially Out For Week 3

No surprise here, but it's now official: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is out again this week when the Packers take on the New Orleans Saints. Hopefully, you weren't waiting for Adams's status still, but if you were, you've hopefully got Allen Lazard or Marquez Valdes-Scantling on your roster. Both guys have […]

Mike Williams Questionable To Return Against Panthers

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (hamstring) is questionable to return to his team's Week 3 contest against the Carolina Panthers. If Williams doesn't return -- or if he misses time with this hamstring injury -- we'll see a lot more of Jalen Guyton on the field. He'd become a deep-league flex option is […]

Dallas Goedert Expected To Miss Time

The hits keep coming for this Philadelphia Eagles offense. Tight end Dallas Goedert left Sunday's tie against the Bengals with an ankle injury and is now expected to "miss some time," says Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Philly has been going with two tight ends lately to make up for their lack of wide […]

Sean Murphy-Bunting Won't Return Against Denver

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting (groin/hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The second-year defensive back has played almost every snap for the Buccaneers Defense this season but has struggled coming into Sunday's game, allowing receptions on nine of the 10 plays where he was targeted. If Murphy-Bunting misses time moving […]

Mekhi Becton Won't Return To Jets/Colts Game

New York Jets offensive lineman Mekhi Becton (shoulder) exited Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts and will not return. The Jets offense is already in a precarious position due to injuries, and Becton -- who already was dealing with the shoulder issue before this game -- is another piece they can't afford to lose. The […]

Brandin Cooks Has Quiet Week 3

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught three passes for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was targeted five times. After his 95-yard Week 2 effort, it looked like Cooks was trending upwards, but the Texans offense might just be too volatile on a week-to-week basis. Cooks is an extremely talented […]

Jordan Akins Has Quiet Week 3

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught two passes for 28 yards in his team's Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Akins has taken over for Darren Fells as Houston's primary tight end, but quarterback Deshaun Watson was mainly looking for wide receivers in this loss, with Fells failing to haul in either of […]

Kenny Stills Has Three Catches Against Steelers

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught three passes for 35 yards in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Stills was targeted four times in a game where Houston's top four receivers all had either four or five targets. Stills is still the fourth option on this team, making him a risky fantasy option with […]

Will Fuller V Catches Touchdown Against Steelers

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V wasn't targeted in Week 2. In Week 3 against the Steelers, he was tied for the team lead with five targets, catching four of them for 54 yards and a touchdown. Fuller really is what he is at this point: a high-upside play with an incredibly low floor. […]

Randall Cobb Catches Touchdown Against Steelers

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb caught all four of his targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers, finishing with 95 yards and a touchdown. It was an unexpected performance for Cobb, who the Texans gave a $27 million contract to in the offseason. It's becoming increasingly clear that different Texans receivers will have good […]

David Johnson Salvages Day With Touchdown

Houston Texans running back David Johnson averaged just 1.8 yards per carry in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, with his 13 carries resulting in 23 yards. He also added 23 receiving yards on two catches. It would have been a rough day for fantasy managers, except one of those carries resulted in a touchdown […]

Deshaun Watson Has Uneven Day Against Steelers

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 264 yards on 19-for-27 passing in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Watson tossed a pair of touchdowns and was picked off once. The dual-threat QB only had one rushing attempt, going for five yards. It wasn't a terrible day for Watson, but the Texans struggled mightily in […]

Russell Gage Won't Return On Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (head) won't return to Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Gage has been having a strong season but finishes Week 3 with just two catches for 26 yards. The Falcons are now extremely shallow at receiver since Julio Jones is out this week, leaving Calvin Ridley and tight end […]

Braxton Berrios Active In Week 3

A late addition to the injury report this week, New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios (hamstring) will play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. With Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman inactive, Berrios will have a good chance to see targets in this contest. The hamstring issue is a concern, but Berrios offers an intriguing […]

Jack Doyle Active For Week 3

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (ankle/knee) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the New York Jets. It remains to be seen if Doyle will get his usual workload or not, but the veteran tight end appears to be a solid TE2 play this week. This also knocks down the value of backup tight […]

Diontae Johnson Being Evaluated For Concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson left Sunday's game against the Houston Texans and is being evaluated for a concussion. He's questionable to return. Pittsburgh's most consistent receiver this season, Chase Claypool and James Washington stand to see increased usage in the second half should Johnson be diagnosed with a concussion and fail to return […]

Chase Young Out For Rest Of Week 3

Washington Football Team defensive end Chase Young (groin) will not return to Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns after exiting with a groin injury. Young was ruled out quickly, which could potentially be bad news moving forward for the star rookie. If Washington is without Young for more than just the second half of Sunday's […]

Jordan Reed Goes Down With Ankle Injury

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jordan Reed fell awkwardly in the back of the end zone in the first half of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. It appeared that Reed suffered a left ankle injury. The MetLife Stadium turf took a toll on the 49ers last week when they faced the Jets, and […]

Dallas Goedert Heads To Locker Room

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been helped to the locker room with an apparent left foot injury in Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. With the Eagles already light on pass catchers and already relying on two-tight-end sets to make their offense work, it'll be important to watch to see how serious this […]

Rashard Higgins Inactive For Week 3

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins won't be active in Week 3 against the Washington Football Team. Considering he took just vie offensive snaps in Week 2, this move shouldn't come as a big surprise. Higgins was getting some preseason hype, but it's time to pull the ripcord if you're still rostering him in redraft […]

Tajae Sharpe Healthy Inactive In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tajae Sharpe is a healthy scratch on Sunday against his former team, the Tennessee Titans. Considering Sharpe had taken just 16 offensive snaps this season, this doesn't move the needle at all. Wide receiver Chad Beebe will play for the first time this year, but like Sharpe would have been, Beebe […]

Cam Akers Out For Week 3

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (ribs) is out for Sunday's contest against the Buffalo Bills. Without Akers, expect Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson Jr. to split carries, with the advantage likely going to Henderson. Brown is a touchdown-dependent fantasy play, while Henderson has the potential to be a solid RB3. Both guys […]

Josh Jacobs, Darren Waller Active

No surprise here, as all reports indicated both would play, but it's now official: Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip) and tight end Darren Waller (knee) are both playing against the Patriots. Both players are must-play options in season-long leagues, with Waller being a TE1 option and Jacobs being a strong RB2 play. […]

Devonta Freeman Will Make Giants Debut Sunday

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman was just signed this week, but he'll officially be active for Sunday's meeting with a banged-up 49ers Defense. Freeman's a risky fantasy option for this week as he works his way into being part of a new team, but at some point this season, Freeman's going to be […]

John Ross III Healthy Scratch In Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross III is a healthy scratch in Week 3 against the Eagles. After being targeted five times in Week 1 and playing 84 percent of the team's snaps, he saw that snap share fall to 30 percent last week. Now, the Bengals won't have Ross on the field this week. […]

N'Keal Harry Active For Week 3

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (ankle) is officially active for the team's Week 3 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders. Harry had a bit of a lost season as a rookie, but has become one of the primary targets for quarterback Cam Newton in 2020. His high target share and the lack of […]
