Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will likely be re-installed as the team's starter later this season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (rib) is expected to be active for Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable entering the weekend.

Jalen Nailor - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Nailor has been impressive this season, getting increased opportunities amidst injuries to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught two of three targets for nine yards during Thursday's loss to the New York Jets. Henry had broke out for eight catches and 109 yards in Week 2, but he was dealt a harsh reality check as his production came way back down to earth in Week […]

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed just six times for 23 yards during Thursday's loss to the New York Jets. The 26-year-old has logged at least 21 carries and one touchdown in each of the first two games this season, so his reduced opportunities and production in Week 3 was certainly a surprise. […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Limited In Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Noah Fant Limited By Toe Injury Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Fant played a season-high 81 percent of snaps last Sunday but seems to have come out of Week 2 with a toe issue.

Tyler Lockett Limited In Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. The bad news is that Lockett is dealing with an injury or ailment.

Now, as the Seahawks begin preparation for Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins, Metcalf is nursing an injury. As […]

Joey Slye A Solid Streamer For Week 3

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye has positioned himself as a solid fantasy football waiver wire addition for Week 3. When the Patriots face the New York Jets on Thursday night, Slye is a candidate to exceed his project point total. For starters, the Patriots offense has afforded Slye several opportunities to kick for points […]

Patriots Defense Avoidable In Most Leagues Thursday

The New England Patriots defense can be left on waivers in most leagues heading into Week 3 against the New York Jets. This unit has been respectable over the first two weeks of the season, but a couple of factors should lead fantasy managers in a different direction this week. First, the Patriots' offense is […]

Antonio Gibson Sneaks Onto Fantasy Radar In Week 3

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson has emerged as an intriguing fantasy option ahead of his Week 3 clash against the New York Jets.
