Sam Bradford With Minimal Fantasy Value In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford has a difficult matchup ahead of him in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. After two poor games to open the season, Bradford has to prove critics wrong this week in order to hold onto the starting job. Therefore, the veteran signal-caller is nothing more than a low-end QB2 for […]

Marcus Mariota Trying To Build Strength In Hand

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) has been trying to build strength in his hand in practice this week while dealing with a nerve issue in his elbow. "They way they explained it to me, it’s like when you strum a guitar string,” Mariota said. “When that string settles down, that’s kind of similar to […]

T.Y. Hilton a Must-Start Option in Week 3

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is coming off of a huge bounce-back game in which he caught seven passes for 83 yards and a touchdown and fantasy owners can expect his success to continue against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. Philadelphia does boast a challenging defensive front for the Colts offense as a […]

Teddy Bridgewater Is Saints Backup QB

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said quarterback Teddy Bridgewater "absolutely" is the team's backup behind Drew Brees. "He's doing well," Payton said. "I'm pleased. ... He's a quick study and I think the (quarterback) room's doing well. I think right away, you can tell he got comfortable with what we're calling things, protections." […]

Cameron Meredith Making Progress

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that wide receiver Cameron Meredith is healthy and is making progress. Payton is hoping that Week 3 against the Falcons will be the week that they can get the receiver into the game plan. Does that mean Meredith will be active for the first time this year? […]

Andrew Luck Likely to Struggle Against Philadelphia

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has slowly been returning to form over the first two weeks of the NFL season, but he draws a matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 that fantasy owners should be extremely cautious of. Irrespective of the fact that Eagles boast one of the best defensive lines in football, […]

Offense To Be Paired Down For Sam Bradford

The Arizona Cardinals have decided to simplify their playbook heading into Week 3 against the Bears as a way to get more production from quarterback Sam Bradford and the rest of the offense. Through two weeks, the Cardinals have one touchdown. Bradford was 17-for-27 with just 90 yards in the Week 2 34-loss to the […]

DeVante Parker More Comfortable In Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) looks much more comfortable catching passes in practice this week. Parker was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and looks to be ready to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Raiders. It's not a lock yet, though, and Parker will be much too risky […]

LeSean McCoy Still In Non-Contact Jersey

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) practiced in a non-contact jersey for the second straight day on Thursday. It suggests McCoy is in line to play in Week 3 against the Vikings, but he could be questionable and could be very limited if he does suit up. Buffalo's offensive line is terrible on top […]

T.J. Yeldon, Austin Seferian-Jenkins Expected To Return Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) are both expected to return to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that both players are in line to be active in Week 3 against the Titans. Yeldon saw most of the work out of the […]

Alshon Jeffery May Not Return This Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is making good progress, returned to individual drills last week and is expected to take another step forward in practice this week. However, he's still being called week-to-week by head coach Doug Pederson, and it's unlikely the receiver plays in Week 3 against the Colts. “Player sources said […]

Jarvis Landry Expected To Play Thursday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee), who is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jets with a knee injury, is expected to play. This was always the expectation, as Landry was limited on the short week. He's been a target hog like usual for Cleveland and should see even more looks with Josh Gordon […]

Aaron Rodgers Won't Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will work with the rehab group again on Thursday, which means he won't practice. The team is following the same format as last week when Rodgers didn't practice until Saturday. Rodgers played the whole game in Week 2 against the Vikings and while he clearly wasn't 100 percent, […]

T.Y. Hilton Says He's Fine

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps), who was held out of practice on Wednesday, said he's fine. "I'm feeling good. I'm still getting there. I should be fine. Nothing to worry about," Hilton said Thursday. He played 54 of the team's 90 offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over the Redskins and had […]

Joe Mixon Feels Great After Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) said he feels "great" and is walking after having arthroscopic knee surgery four days ago. He's expected to be out two to four weeks and is now going through the recovery process. "Just me going out there being comfortable cutting and running around to my comfortability," Mixon told […]

Nyheim Hines Should Be Avoided

If it weren't for a touchdown last week, Indianapolis Colts rookie Nyheim Hines would have had a completely lost week. He and veteran Marlon Mack have similar skill sets, which cuts into his touches. The Philadelphia Eagles are the No. 1 run defense in football right now. Fellow rookie Jordan Wilkins should get the majority […]

Jordan Wilkins Has A Difficult Matchup In Week 3

Heading into Week 3, Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jordan Wilkins faces his toughest test yet. The Philadelphia Eagles are currently the No. 1 ranked defense against the run. Wilkins has yet to really develop his receiving abilities out of the backfield, which should limit his touches against a stout Eagles front. Wilkins has the […]

Marlon Mack Has Flex Appeal In Week 3

Heading into Week 3, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has some flex appeal. Last week, he was out-snapped by both rookies Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines. Some of that was due to the team easing him back into things from his hamstring injury, while some of it was the rookies' effectiveness. This week, he […]

Joe Haden Expected To Return In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) should be able to return in Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Monday night. Haden has made good progress since sitting out last week's loss to the Chiefs. While Haden isn't an IDP force, his veteran presence should help a secondary that hasn't fared well to begin the season. […]

Eric Ebron Could Be Streamed In Week 3

Through two weeks, Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron is the sixth leading scorer in PPR formats at the position. His value has been a little tied to his two touchdowns, but he can still be a valuable option this week. In 10-team leagues, he's still not widely owned, but he should be. Fellow Colts […]

Philip Rivers Makes Rams Defense A Great Play

For his career, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has 167 interceptions. This should make the Los Angeles Rams defense salivate. Cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib have been ballhawks that can take any ball to the house at any time. Their offense should have them playing ahead for the majority of the game. This […]

Russell Wilson On Week 3 Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) got in a full practice on Wednesday. Also practicing in full were cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and linebacker Bobby Wright (groin). Wilson will be fine for Week 3 against the Cowboys, but he should be downgraded to a QB2 moving forward. He just hasn't had any time to throw […]

Doug Baldwin, K.J. Wright Not At Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Baldwin is highly doubtful to return this week, and he might be unlikely to play in Week 4 as well. He should remain stashed in all leagues, though, as he'll be the top receiver when he returns. Seattle's […]

Antonio Brown To Be In Game Plan

Despite being disciplined by Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin on Wednesday, wide receiver Antonio Brown is expected to be in the game plan in Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Monday night as the team seeks its first win of the season. Tight end Jesse James said Brown practiced fully on Wednesday and is […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Lynch is in no danger of sitting out in Week 3 against the Dolphins. Beast Mode has scored on the ground in both weeks so far, but he's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry on 29 total attempts. He'll remain in the […]

No Practice For Jaquiski Tartt

San Francisco 49ers safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Tartt is a strong IDP defensive back when he's on the field, but it remains to be seen if he can play this weekend against a very strong Chiefs offense. The 26-year-old has eight tackles in the first two games of the season. […]

Antonio Gates Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Antonio Gates (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. The aging veteran is likely to miss practice more often than not this year in what is likely his final NFL season. He put up a donut in Week 2 against Buffalo and has just two catches on three targets for 16 […]

Melvin Gordon Practicing In Full

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (neck) practiced in full on Wednesday. Gordon will be fine for Week 3 against the Rams. Even in a tough matchup, Gordon is a must-start, especially now that he's being more involved in the passing game. He had just nine carries in an easy win over Buffalo last […]

Travis Benjamin Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Benjamin sat out in the Week 2 win over the Bills, but it looks like he'll have a shot to return in a tough matchup against the Rams on Sunday. Benjamin had some bad drops in the season opener and remains […]

Derek Carr A Streaming Option For Week 3

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has 591 passing yards and an 80.6% completion rate in two games against two of the better pass defenses in the NFL. He's only thrown one touchdown, but that number figures to rise significantly, perhaps as soon as Week 3. Carr's next opponent is a Dolphins defense that has shown […]
