Richard Sherman, Jaquiski Tartt Sit Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) both missed practice on Thursday. Tartt also missed on Wednesday, so his status isn't looking good for Week 3 against the Chiefs. This is a new injury for Sherman and is concerning considering he missed time last year with an Achilles ailment. If […]

Danny Amendola Should Be Avoided

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola has been struggling to be the PPR monster he was in the past. Amendola has only eight catches for 58 yards this year. The yardage isn't all that concerning, but for Amendola to be a productive fantasy player, he needs more receptions. The Dolphins do have a favorable matchup […]

Marquise Goodwin Limited Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Goodwin was injured in Week 1 and sat out in Week 2, so he's still looking for his first catch of the season after being a popular breakout candidate in fantasy drafts. If he can return […]

Jared Goff Should Excel in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has put together two respectable performances through the first two weeks of the regular season. He now heads into a contest against a Chargers defense that's allowed 2.5 passing touchdowns per contest. The Chargers are also without Joey Bosa, so that just adds insult to injury. Goff is averaging […]

Neal Sterling Inactive Thursday

New York Jets tight end Neal Sterling (concussion) is inactive in Week 3 against the Browns on Thursday. Sterling caught three passes on three targets in the season opener but didn't have a single target in Week 2 and can be avoided in fantasy leagues. The Jets tight end situation won't yield much in terms […]

Jarvis Landry Active Thursday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) is active for the Week 3 game against the Jets on Thursday. Landry was never in danger of missing this contest as the team's top receiver. He has a healthy 22 targets through two games and should see even more looks moving forward now that Josh Gordon is […]

DeAndre Hopkins Dealing With Hamstring Issue

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had already been limited in practice all week while dealing with thumb and ankle issues, but Thursday's injury report added a new ailment for Houston's star wideout, who was listed as having a hamstring injury as well. With the new injury designation coming so late in the week, Hopkins's […]

Carlos Hyde Expected To Play Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde is expecting the birth of his child on Thursday but is expected to go straight from the hospital to the stadium to play, according to a couple of team sources. Hyde isn't listed among the team's inactives for Thursday's game against the Jets, so they believe he'll be there […]

Frank Gore An Option For Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore has continued to show that he is a viable fantasy option even though he has running back Kenyan Drake taking the majority of touches. Gore had nine carries in both of the first two weeks and it is reasonable to believe that he will continue to receive that many, […]

George Kittle A Strong Week 3 Option

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will look to rebound after a disappointing game last week. He will have a prime opportunity to do so versus a vulnerable Kansas City defense, as the Chiefs have surrendered 20.1 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, which ranks 30th in the NFL. Add in the […]

Pierre Garcon A Fringe Flex Play in Deeper Formats

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon has had a quiet start to the season, averaging just 6.9 fantasy points per game in PPR formats. His Week 3 outlook could depend on the status of teammate Marquise Goodwin. If Goodwin is in the lineup, Garcon’s value takes a considerable hit. Regardless, starting the 32-year-old receiver […]

Marcus Mariota Makes Progress In Practice

Updating previous reports, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) made improvements in Thursday's practice, but offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur said the team will still take it "day by day and see where he is on Sunday." Mariota was able to drive the ball further down the field for the first time since injuring his elbow […]

Marquise Goodwin a Risky Play in Week 3

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is hopeful to play Sunday when the team travels to Kansas City. The Chiefs have allowed 52.9 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, so Goodwin could be in for a big game if he’s healthy enough to play on Sunday. However, there is always some risk […]

Leonard Fournette Says He Feels Much Better

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) said his injured right hamstring feels much better than it did last week and he is hoping to be able to return in Week 3 against the Titans after sitting out last Sunday. He was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. "It felt good out there," Fournette […]

Alfred Morris Not Worth Starting

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris has failed to score a touchdown or rush for 50 yards through the first two weeks of the season. The seven-year-pro is averaging a mere 3.3 yards per carry, while looking sluggish at times. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Matt Breida’s workload increase in the coming weeks, […]

Matt Breida Has Golden Week 3 Matchup

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida currently leads the NFL in rushing yards, and will be looking to build on his impressive performance from a week ago. The second-year running back has carried the ball just 22 times, while averaging a remarkable 8.4 yards per carry. He should be able to rack up fantasy […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Poised for Breakout Game

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has an outstanding Week 3 matchup against Kansas City. The Chiefs have allowed 876 passing yards through the first two weeks of the season, in addition to surrendering a league-worst 34 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. Garoppolo has struggled out of the gate, ranking just 25th […]

Marcus Mariota Takes Majority Of Reps Thursday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) was better on Thursday and took most of the practice repetitions over Blaine Gabbert. Mariota was active in Week 2 but didn't play at all. He's dealing with a nerve issue in his elbow that has caused numbness in his hand and fingers, […]

Christian Kirk Held Out Of Practice After Car Accident

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk was held out of practice on Thursday as a precaution after he was rear-ended on the freeway on Wednesday. Kirk said he is fine. Fantasy owners had high hopes for Kirk in his rookie season in an offense looking for playmakers beyond Larry Fitzgerald, but so far nobody has […]

No Practice For Jason-Pierre Paul

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice on Thursday. JPP missed a practice last week, too, but he wound up playing against the Eagles and recorded five tackles and a sack. His presence on the defensive line is paramount as Tampa attempts to get consistent pressure on the opposing quarterback. Slowing […]

Chris Godwin Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (toe) was limited in practice on Thursday. Godwin should be fine to play in Week 3 against the Steelers on Monday night. He was talked up all preseason and training camp as a starter, but he remains third behind Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson. Godwin has eight catches […]

Cole Beasley Shows Up on Thursday's Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley popped up on Thursday's injury report, getting in a limited practice due to an ankle injury. Late-week injuries are never a good sign, but there's been no mention yet of Beasley being forced to miss Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Whether or not he plays, Beasley's fantasy status […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick On Week 3 Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (knee) was on the Week 3 injury report against the Steelers but practiced in full on Thursday. Aside from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, Fitzpatrick has been the best quarterback in the NFL through two weeks. He has gone 48-for-61 for 819 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception. Fitz should […]

Dalvin Cook, Everson Griffen Not Practicing

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. While Cook's hamstring cramps didn't seem to be a big issue leading into this week, it's now looking like he may be kept out in a very winnable game against the Bills […]

Alshon Jeffery Doubtful For Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but he's highly doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Colts. The Eagles are targeting Week 4 or 5 for Jeffery's season debut. Keep him stashed everywhere. The good news is that he has made a […]

Patrick Chung, Trey Flowers Still Not Practicing

New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung (concussion) and defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Both are looking unlikely to play on Sunday night against the Lions in Week 3, which would be good news for Lions quarterback Matthews Stafford and the rest of the offense as […]

Rob Gronkowski Added To Injury Report

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday as an addition to the Week 3 injury report against the Lions. Gronk should be fine to play on Sunday night against the Lions and should remain as the top fantasy tight end in play this weekend. Start him with confidence.

Trey Burton Can Score In Multiple Ways

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton will go up against a Cardinals defense in Week 3 that has already allowed two touchdowns to opposing tight ends through two games. Burton scored his first touchdown in a Bears uniform in Week 2 on a nifty shovel pass from quarterback Mitch Trubisky in the red zone. Burton […]

Ted Ginn Says He'll Play In Week 3

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee), who missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, said he will play in Week 3 against the Falcons. Mid-week downgrades are never a good thing, but this appears to be a precaution. Ginn has been the second target behind Michael Thomas in the Saints offense, […]

Anthony Miller Hopes To Build On First Touchdown Catch

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will look to build off of his first professional touchdown catch last week against the Seahawks. The rookie wide receiver has enjoyed a rapid rise throughout training camp and the preseason. But his potential has been limited by penalties and some missed assignments early on. He will be the […]
