Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Tre' Harris was more involved in Week 2, catching two passes for 34 yards on three targets in Monday night's win against the Las Vegas Raiders. He increased his snap share from 7.9% to 30.4% and ran eight routes (27.6% of snaps). The rookie will face a tough Denver Broncos secondary, so Harris will need to make the most of his limited opportunities.
Ladd McConkey (bicep) is off the injury report, but if there are setbacks between now and game time, Harris could get the start in three-receiver sets. RotoBaller projects him as WR106, and he should continue to be a valuable stash in most formats.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden looks to take advantage of some injury-related shakeup in the receiving room as the Packers head to Cleveland to face the Browns in Week 3. Through two games, Golden hasn't done much to satisfy the hype of fantasy managers, with just two receptions for 16 yards in his first two NFL games. That said, Golden has been the recipient of several deep throws from quarterback
Jordan Love that have just missed being huge plays. We'd be talking about Golden much favorably if those plays had gone the other way. For Week 3, Golden could get on track to deliver some fantasy value as the target tree shortens up a bit with
Jayden Reed (clavicle, foot) out and
Tucker Kraft (knee) banged up. Golden is still a risky boom-or-bust flex play this week for fantasy purposes.

Although San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said it's "highly unlikely" that he will start this weekend, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's shaping up as a second straight start for backup
Mac Jones. Purdy may not start, but he may be active on game day as an emergency backup in case Jones is injured. Either way, though, fantasy managers should keep Purdy on their benches for a second straight week. Purdy's next chance to return to starting duties will come in Week 4 versus the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. Jones looked good in last week's win over the New Orleans Saints, throwing for 279 yards and three touchdowns, but he could be without receiver
Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) this weekend. Treat him as a low-end QB2 in superflex formats.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks looks to take advantage of ample opportunity with some missing pass-catchers as the Packers travel to Cleveland to face the Browns in Week 3. Wicks took a backseat to fellow wide receivers
Romeo Doubs and rookie
Matthew Golden in the receiving pecking order through two games, but with the injury to
Jayden Reed (clavicle) and now tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee), Wicks could get a lot more opportunity in Week 3 to be the top target-earner in Green Bay. People forget that Wicks led the Packers in targets (76) last season, and with Reed out for several weeks, Wicks will be the primary slot receiver and may still rotate in on the outside for Green Bay. Wicks now has fantasy value entering Week 3, and when setting your flex, Wicks has a ton of upside this week.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Keenan Allen again made an impact in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. He remains reliable and continues to earn quarterback
Justin Herbert's trust in crucial moments, especially in the red zone, where he has a 33% target rate through two games. Allen will face a tough Denver Broncos secondary that is among the best in the league. He will need to use his five-inch height advantage over DB Ja'Quan McMillian, who is allowing only 3.4 yards per target. Teammate
Ladd McConkey (bicep) is off the injury report and could see shadow coverage from Pat Surtain, so Allen could receive the majority of the targets. RotoBaller projects him as the WR39 this week, making him a strong flex option, especially in PPR leagues.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is officially listed as questionable to play in a Week 3 divisional clash against the 2-0 Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that Jennings was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Friday, which is pretty concerning, considering he was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday. The 28-year-old picked up a shoulder injury in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but he played in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints and caught his first touchdown of the year. Jennings also picked up a new ankle injury last Sunday. Now dealing with two injuries, it's not looking great for his chances of facing Arizona. He's shaping up as a very shaky and risky WR4/flex in Week 3, especially with quarterback
Mac Jones set for a second straight start.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs caught a touchdown pass in Week 2 against the Commanders and looks to build off that momentum when the Packers head to Cleveland to face off with the Browns in Week 3. Doubs has been Green Bay's most consistent route runner at the receiver position, as he's not rotated as much as some of the other secondary receivers like
Matthew Golden and
Dontayvion Wicks. With the injury to
Jayden Reed (clavicle, foot) and
Tucker Kraft (knee) being questionable after a Thursday injury in practice, Doubs may be needed much more by the Packers for receiving production in Week 3. He's hard to trust as an inconsistent receiving option, but with the pass-catchers in Green Bay a bit more thinned out this week, Doubs could be in line for a higher fantasy floor this week as a WR4 with low-end flex upside.

Green Bay Packers running back
Chris Brooks looks to build on his minor role within the Packers' offense as they travel to Cleveland to play the Browns in Week 3. Brooks has played well above fellow running back
Emanuel Wilson this season and has gained more snaps from Week 1 (9) to Week 2's 13. Brooks could see a little more time on the field with
Josh Jacobs (ankle) a bit banged up, though Jacobs came off the injury report after three limited practice sessions. While Brooks remains a clear role player for the Packers, Brooks' role would increase if something were to happen to Jacobs. Brooks' situational role with the Packers keeps him well away from starting consideration for fantasy in Week 3.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston led his team in receiving yards for the second consecutive week and scored his third touchdown of the season in Monday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He caught three of his seven targets for 71 yards, highlighted by a 60-yard touchdown just before halftime. His 66.7% red-zone target share makes him a very strong option in the Chargers' improved passing attack. RotoBaller projects a favorable matchup if he faces Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss, despite the Broncos having one of the best secondaries in the league. RotoBaller ranks him as a low-end WR4 this week, but he should be startable in multi-flex or deeper leagues.

Houston Texans wide receivers
Christian Kirk (hamstring) and
Braxton Berrios (hamstring) have both been removed from the final Week 3 injury report and will make their debuts on Sunday against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Houston will get two key offensive weapons back on Sunday as they look for their first win of the year. Kirk, 28, should be much more involved on offense than Berrios as the team's primary slot receiver, although don't be surprised if his snaps are managed after he missed the first two games of the season. We wouldn't recommend Kirk as a starting flex option in deeper fantasy leagues in his Texans' debut, but his presence should take some attention off WR1
Nico Collins. Rookies
Jayden Higgins and
Jaylin Noel, who did very little with Kirk out for the first two weeks, now have an even tougher path to fantasy relevance.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Ladd McConkey caught all five of his targets for 48 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in the team's 20-9 win on Monday night. He has been reliable through two weeks, but hasn't received a single red-zone target, which limits his touchdown potential. McConkey was a DNP on Wednesday with a bicep injury, but participated fully the rest of the week. He does not carry an injury designation going into Week 3. Despite a potential shadow matchup against the Denver Broncos' shutdown corner Pat Surtain, McConkey's route-running and quarterback
Justin Herbert's trust should create opportunities. RotoBaller projects him as WR14 this week and should be started in all formats despite the tough matchup.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (ankle) was listed on the injury report earlier this week, but after three limited practices, he's been removed from the injury report and is good to go for the Packers' Week 3 game against the Browns. Jacobs has been a touchdown-scoring machine since Week 10 of last season, as he is currently on a 10-game streak where he's scored a rushing touchdown in the regular season. Jacobs' efficiency has waned a little bit this season as he's averaged just 3.6 yards per carry, but he's had at least 20 opportunities in both games, so we can hardly argue with the volume Jacobs is getting in the season's first two games. The Browns have been a strong unit against the run this season, limiting
Chase Brown to 2.0 YPC in Week 1 and holding
Derrick Henry to just 23 yards in Week 2. Still, Jacobs is a low-end RB1 for fantasy managers against Cleveland in Week 3.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers (knee) was limited in practice all week but was removed from Friday's final Week 3 injury report and will play on Sunday against the hosting Washington Commanders, per The Athletic's Ben Standig. Bowers injured his knee in the season-opening win over the New England Patriots and then was questionable for Monday night in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 22-year-old ended up suiting up and caught five of his eight targets for just 38 yards in a 20-9 loss. It appears that Bowers is improving regarding his knee injury, and he should be a full-go in a good matchup against Washington. Despite Bowers' disappointing Week 2 performance, he needs to be locked into all starting fantasy lineups for Week 3 and could easily post his second 100-yard game of the 2025 season.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love has been in a groove and looks to keep his strong, efficient play going as the Packers head to Cleveland to face the Browns in Week 3. For the first time since Week 9 of last season, Love had over 30 pass attempts in Week 2. He threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns while adding 12 yards on the ground. He also missed a few deep shots to
Dontayvion Wicks in the first quarter and
Matthew Golden later in the game, where we would be universally starting him if he had converted even one of those passes. The Packers' passing game has never been more aggressive at getting the ball downfield with Love sporting a league-high 13.1-yard average depth of target in two games. With the quarterback injuries around the league to several starting options, Love jumps into fantasy QB1 territory against the Browns in Week 3.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Friday that wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is officially questionable for the Week 3 game on Sunday night against the New York Giants. Worthy was limited all week after suffering a dislocated right shoulder and torn labrum in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The 22-year-old did not play in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl rematch, but he apparently will try to give it a go this weekend if he's cleared. With kickoff for Chiefs and Giants not coming until late on Sunday night, we'd advise fantasy managers to play it safe and go in another direction, even in a tempting matchup. If Worthy is active, he'll also be susceptible to a lower number of snaps if he's not 100%. If he misses a second straight game,
Marquise Brown,
JuJu Smith-Schuster, and
Tyquan Thornton will start in three-receiver sets with
Rashee Rice still suspended.
