However, during the opening month, there are often several names that emerge as full-time starters and key pieces in fantasy football. In this article, we will look at two rookie receivers who are currently […]

Keaton Mitchell a Healthy Scratch in Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (healthy scratch) has been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Detroit Lions.

The second-year back flashed explosiveness as a rookie before tearing his ACL late in the 2023 season, […]

Isaiah Likely Ruled Out Against Lions

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) has been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Jauan Jennings Will Be Day-to-Day This Week

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) is considered day-to-day heading into Week 4. Jennings played through a shoulder issue in Week 2, posting five catches for 89 yards and a touchdown, but he did not practice ahead of Week 3 and was ultimately ruled out. If Jennings remains sidelined, second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall […]

Brock Purdy Expected to Practice on Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday. Purdy has missed the past two games with a turf toe injury, forcing the team to lean on backup Mac Jones. Purdy managed limited work late last week, but the 49ers ultimately held him out to give him extra recovery […]

James Conner Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery on Monday after suffering a significant right ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game.

Demarcus Robinson Back with Team Ahead of Week 4

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has rejoined the team after serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Jordan Addison Back with Team Ahead of Week 4

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is set to return from his three-game suspension stemming from last summer's DUI charges.

Chargers Expected to Lean on Omarion Hampton More Than Anticipated

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton is set to take on a much larger role after veteran Najee Harris suffered a torn Achilles in Week 3's 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos.

The overreactions are still in play, which leaves the door open to trading busts and buy breakouts before it’s too late. Here are three players to […]

Cairo Santos Too Risky to Trust in Week 3

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has been quiet to start his 17th NFL season. After missing a field goal in Week 1, he converted all of his extra-point attempts in Week 2's loss to the Detroit Lions. Head coach Ben Johnson's aggressive approach on fourth downs has limited Santos' fantasy upside, as opportunities for field […]

Cole Kmet a High-Risk TE2 in Week 3

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has been quiet to start the 2025 season. With the addition of Colston Loveland, many speculated Kmet might lose his starting role. Despite a dip in production, Kmet's snap share (90%) and route rate (73%) remain high compared to Loveland, who is barely reaching 50% in both areas. Kmet […]

Bears D/ST Face Brutal Matchup in Week 3

The Chicago Bears' defense has been a disaster to start the 2025 season. After allowing a pick-six in Week 1, they've surrendered 73 points over the last five quarters. Injuries are piling up in the secondary, with Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon ruled out for Week 3. This is not the week to be thin […]

Colston Loveland a Must-Sit Again in Week 3

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland has yet to establish a significant role in the offense. Through two games, Loveland has played 50% of the snaps, while veteran Cole Kmet dominates with 90% of the snaps.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver DeAndre Carter (concussion) is off the injury report and set to play in Week 3.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (groin) is expected to play in Week 3 against the New York Jets.

The Jets have struggled defensively in 2025, allowing 30+ points […]

Ashton Jeanty Could See Expanded Role in Week 3

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty could see an expanded role in Week 3. The sixth-overall pick played just 57% of snaps in Week 2's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, a share head coach Pete Carroll acknowledged was too low. "The numbers haven't been as good as we want so far. We […]

Luther Burden III's Role Expected to Grow in Week 3

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III has had a quiet start to his NFL career, totaling just two catches for two yards through his first two games. With a limited offensive role, head coach Ben Johnson noted the team needs to design a package of plays specifically for the rookie. The second-round pick […]

Kyle Monangai Set for Larger Workload in Week 3?

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai is quietly carving out a role in the backfield. For a seventh-round pick, earning early trust isn't easy, but Monangai has quickly impressed both coaches and teammates. He played 42% of the snaps in Week 3, totaling eight touches for 36 yards against a stout Detroit Lions run […]

D.J. Moore a High-End WR3 Against Dallas

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is off to a sluggish start in 2025. Since the arrival of quarterback Caleb Williams, Moore has averaged just 56 yards per game with six touchdowns across 19 games. The chemistry between the two has yet to click, and Moore's role has clearly diminished with second-year receiver Rome Odunze […]

Andre Szmyt Off Injury Report, Good to Go Against Packers

Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt (calf) is expected to play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Szmyt had a scare on Friday, but he's cleared to kick in Week 3. The rookie has had an up-and-down start, missing a game-winning attempt in Week 1 and converting his only try in Week 2. Facing a […]

Charvarius Ward Passes Concussion Protocol, Good to Go in Week 3

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward (concussion) has passed concussion protocol and is expected to play in Week 3.

Ward will match up against Calvin Ridley, who has gotten off to a slow […]

Jadaveon Clowney "Ready to Play" in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney is expected to make his team debut in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. Clowney signed with Dallas last weekend following their dramatic win over the New York Giants. The former number one overall pick was arrested just days before signing his contract, but is not concerned about the repercussions. […]

Tyler Warren Off Injury Report, Will Play Against Titans

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren (toe) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 3.

J.J. McCarthy Ditches Walking Boot, Expected to Avoid Injured Reserve

Xavier Worthy Ruled Out for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Week 3's matchup against the New York Giants. Worthy practiced in a limited fashion during the week, but the team isn't ready to put him back on the field after his Week 1 dislocated shoulder against the Los Angeles Chargers. In […]

Rome Odunze Looking to Continue Breakout Season Against Dallas

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is quickly building on his second-year breakout. In Week 2, the 2024 ninth-overall pick delivered a monster outing, catching seven of 11 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns against the Lions. Odunze played 100% of the snaps, firmly establishing himself as the WR1 in Chicago's offense. He now […]

Xavier Worthy Not Expected to Play

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 3, per The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Worthy dislocated his shoulder in Week 1's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and has yet to return to game action. Without Worthy, the Chiefs' passing game has lacked production against the Philadelphia Eagles, […]

D'Andre Swift a High-Risk RB2 in Week 3

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Swift has been limited in practice all three days this week and enters Week 3 with the questionable tag. Swift is coming off a mixed outing against his former team, where he logged 12 carries for 63 yards and […]

Caleb Williams a Locked-In QB1 Against Dallas

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is off to a promising fantasy start despite the team's 0-2 record. The 2024 first-overall pick is averaging 21.1 fantasy points per game, putting him on pace to finish as the QB10. A major part of his success has come on the ground, where Williams ranks fourth among quarterbacks in […]
