LeGarrette Blount Remains Lions Starting Running Back For Week 3

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount is listed as the starter heading into their Sunday night matchup with the Patriots. His production was not terrible in Week 2, gaining 38 yards on eight carries, but opposing defenses are always able to key the run with Blount being a non-factor as a receiver. He remains a […]

Albert Wilson A Low-End WR3 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is facing a decent matchup in Week 3 against the Raiders. In Week 2 Wilson led the Dolphins in receiving yards (37) and targets (5) last week, though they only threw the ball 23 times. Wilson outperformed Danny Amendola, his main competitor for targets from the slot position, though […]

Kerryon Johnson Remains Lions Running Back To Watch Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson has easily been the most dynamic player in their backfield through two games. With the Lions off to a shaky 0-2 start, it is likely that they will be throwing out the kitchen sink Sunday night at home against the Patriots. Considering a rough season-long outlook for the Lions […]

Danny Amendola A WR4 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is a low-end flex option in Week 3. Amendola hauled in four catches for only 32 yards in Week 2, and like always is best used in PPR leagues. Amendola has had four catches through the first two weeks but for only 58 yards and no touchdowns. The ceiling […]

Kenny Stills A WR2 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills will be the Dolphins No. 1 receiver in Week 3 against the Raiders. Stills was disappointing in Week 2 with only two catches for 17 yards, but that is the nature of a deep threat receiver like Stills. He is known to be boom-or-bust in any given week. The Raiders […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex Option In Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will split carries with Kenyan Drake in Week 3. He got nine carries last week, but only produced 25 yards on the ground. Gore has gotten exactly nine carries in the first two weeks of the season, so his market share on offense should be somewhere in the 7-10 […]

Redskins Release Breshad Perriman

The Washington Redskins released wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Saturday, according to a source. However, the team could bring him back in the future. Perriman was a first-round bust with the Ravens and has failed to catch on elsewhere so far. He is well off the fantasy radar and is highly unlikely to produce at […]

Erik Swoope Added To Roster

The Indianapolis Colts promoted tight end Erik Swoope from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday and waived cornerback Lenzy Pipkins in a corresponding move. The team also signed quarterback Phillip Walker to the practice squad. Swoope caught one pass for 13 yards in the season opener against the Bengals. He's merely depth […]

Nyheim Hines A Sneaky PPR Play

The Indianapolis Colts announced that running back Marlon Mack (foot, hamstring) will be inactive this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. While Jordan Wilkins should see the majority of touches this week, Nyheim Hines has some value in deeper PPR leagues. He doesn't have the same big-play ability that Mack does, but he gives quarterback Andrew […]

Brandin Cooks Looking To Establish Deep Connection

Los Angeles Rams wideout Brandin Cooks has always been a deep-ball threat with the ability to score from anywhere. He is looking to establish more of a deep-ball connection with quarterback Jared Goff. Cooks has the speed to run by most defenders, but he and Goff need to work on their chemistry on those long […]

Phillip Gaines and Taron Johnson Questionable for Week 3

Buffalo Bills cornerbacks Phillip Gaines (elbow) and Taron Johnson (shoulder) are expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. Both players were limited practice participants all week and are officially listed as questionable on the team's injury report. Gaines, who started Week 1 opposite Tre'Davious White, was forced to leave Week 2's game […]

Shaq Lawson Out For Second Straight Week

Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson will miss his second straight week due to a lingering hamstring injury. Just as last week, Lawson did not practice at all this week, so it is not surprising that he is unavailable against the Vikings in Week 3. The 2016 first-round pick, who showed tremendous improvement in his […]

Antonio Brown An Elite WR1 In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown made plenty of headlines this week after he didn't report to work on Monday. Despite the drama, Brown will be in uniform and ready to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Brown will be an elite WR1 for that matchup as the Buccaneers have struggled to […]

Eric Ebron In TE1 Territory This Weekend

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron has scored a touchdown in each week to start this season. This weekend his tight end partner Jack Doyle (hip) will be inactive, which puts Ebron in for an increase in targets. The Philadelphia Eagles have a strong front that could cause quarterback Andrew Luck to get rid of […]

Josh Rosen Could Make Debut This Sunday

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said it's "hard to determine" when the right time to play rookie quarterback Josh Rosen is, but ESPN's Josh Weinfuss would not be surprised if Rosen sees the field this Sunday against the Bears if the offense under Sam Bradford continues to struggle. The Cardinals have just one touchdown […]

Reshad Jones Expected To Play

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder), who is questionable for Week 3 against the Raiders, is expected to play on Sunday. Jones is one of the more attractive IDP safeties in the league and has six tackles and two interceptions through two weeks. If he's on the field, it'll be a downgrade for Raiders quarterback […]

Kenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Off Injury Report

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the Week 3 injury report against the Raiders. Drake will be the starting running back and is a strong RB2 against a weak Raiders front. Tannehill […]

Evan Engram Removed From Injury Report

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (ankle) and wide receiver Kaelin Clay (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and were removed from the final injury report for Week 3 against the Texans. Engram has nine catches on 12 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in two weeks and is a strong TE1 option […]

Case Keenum Not On Injury Report

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the final Week 3 injury report against the Ravens. Keenum doesn't have a very high fantasy ceiling despite the team being 2-0, and he's thrown more interceptions than touchdowns through two weeks. The matchup against Baltimore isn't very enticing either, […]

A.J. Green Up Against Tough D In Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 3, and it's going to be an uphill battle for the veteran. Carolina ranks eighth in pass defense so far this season, allowing just 205.0 yards per game with only two touchdowns and no pass plays of 40 or more yards. The […]

Tyler Eifert Ready For Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert (back) was able to participate in a full practice session for the third consecutive day Friday. As such, he has been lifted from the Week 3 injury report leading up to Sunday's road game with the Carolina Panthers. Eifert has been rather quiet in the passing game so far, […]

Giovani Bernard Removed From Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (ankle) was able to take part in a full practice session for the second consecutive day on Friday and he was removed from the injury report leading up to the Week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers. With Joe Mixon (knee) ruled out, Bernard is expected to do the […]

Alex Smith Faces Favorable Matchup In Week 3

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith heads into Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers facing a very favorable matchup. The Packers pass defense ranks 26th in the NFL through two games, yielding 283.5 yards per game with four touchdowns. They have also given up nine pass plays of 20 or more yards and one pass […]

Jamison Crowder Looks To Break Out Of Funk

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder looks to snap out of his early-season funk with a big game in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. So far, Crowder has been lost in the offensive plan, racking up just five receptions for 40 yards on eight targets, including a dismal eight yards on two grabs […]

Adrian Peterson Could Shine In Week 3

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson heads into Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers with just 3.1 yards per rush on 37 attempts. He was terrible last week against the Indianapolis Colts at home, but popped in the regular season opener and his only game on the road so far. The Packers have yielded […]

Earl Thomas May Not Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas missed practice on Friday due to personal reasons, and head coach Pete Carroll wouldn't say if Thomas would be available for Week 3 against the Cowboys. Dallas and Seattle discussed a potential trade of Thomas all offseason, but Seattle's price was always too high. It's unclear if Thomas actually […]

Mark Barron Doubtful For Week 3

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) did not practice all week and is doubtful for Week 3 against the Chargers. Barron has yet to play this year but will attempt to make it back in time for Week 4. Without him in the middle it makes the Rams weak, but they more than make […]

Richard Sherman Will Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) practiced in full on Friday and is no longer on the final injury report for Week 3 against the Chiefs. It's good news, as the team might be without safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) against a high-flying Chiefs offense this Sunday.

Jaquiski Tartt Questionable For Sunday

San Francisco 49ers safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 3 against the Chiefs. Tartt is relevant in IDP leagues, but you may need to find another option this weekend. After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, it's a good sign that he was able to at least […]

Spencer Ware Questionable Against 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee) was limited in practice and is questionable for Week 3 against the 49ers. It's a new injury for Ware, so he might not be able to suit up on Sunday as Kareem Hunt's main backup. If Ware cannot play, expect Damien Williams and rookie Darrel Williams to […]
