16 hours agoNew York Giants wide receiver
Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is now listed as doubtful ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Toney missed practice on Saturday and is unlikely to play on Monday night. Despite the upside he flashed as a rookie, Toney is an obvious cut candidate in fantasy right now as he has not been involved in the Giants' offense to begin the season and is now dealing with a hamstring injury. He could be worth holding onto in deeper formats but is probably just clogging your bench in most redraft leagues. If Toney misses time,
Kenny Golladay and
Darius Slayton could start to get involved for New York.

17 hours agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver
Van Jefferson (knee) has been placed on injured reserve. Jefferson missed practice all week and was ruled out for Week 3 on Friday, but will now miss at least the next four games as he continues to recover from a knee procedure he underwent earlier this year. Even when he returns, he will have to compete with
Cooper Kupp,
Allen Robinson, and
Tyler Higbee for targets, so Jefferson can be safely dropped in redraft fantasy leagues.

17 hours agoThe Green Bay Packers have placed wide receiver
Sammy Watkins (hamstring) on injured reserve. Watkins was ruled out earlier in the week for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but will now miss at least the next four games as he deals with a hamstring injury. Watkins has only seen seven targets so far this season but did lead the Packers in receiving yards last week. Rookie
Christian Watson (hamstring) and veteran
Randall Cobb (illness) are both questionable for Sunday, so additional targets should be available for
Allen Lazard and
Romeo Doubs.

18 hours agoTennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee) will miss the rest of the 2022 season after he suffered a knee injury in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Lewan had already been ruled out for Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but now the 31-year-old veteran will miss the remainder of the year as well. It's more bad news for an 0-2 Titans team with an offense that has averaged just 273 yards per game through the first two weeks, which is the sixth-worst mark in the NFL. Dennis Daley is expected to step in as the starting left tackle on quarterback
Ryan Tannehill's blind side, starting on Sunday against the 0-2 Raiders.

19 hours agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers elevated wide receiver
Cole Beasley from the practice squad to their active roster on Saturday ahead of the Week 3 game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The Bucs are decimated by injuries at the receiver position, and No. 1 receiver
Mike Evans is also suspended for this weekend's game, so Beasley could actually play a limited role against Green Bay after just signing to the practice squad this week. If
Julio Jones (knee), who is listed as questionable, cannot play, the Bucs will likely have
Russell Gage,
Breshad Perriman and
Scotty Miller as their top three wideouts for quarterback
Tom Brady this weekend. The 33-year-old Beasley will give Tampa some depth for the time being, but he's not worth a waiver-wire pickup at this time.

19 hours agoLas Vegas Raiders running back
Brandon Bolden (hamstring), who was inactive for the Week 2 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals, got in a full practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into the Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans. The 32-year-old could be in for a big backfield role this weekend with
Josh Jacobs (illness) questionable to play. Jacobs notably didn't travel with the team on Friday, either. In the season opener, Bolden played just 28 percent of the offensive snaps and had three carries for seven yards, adding two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown. Even if Jacobs is inactive, Bolden will be a deep-league flex option, at best, while likely sharing touches with
Ameer Abdullah and rookie
Zamir White.

19 hours agoHouston Texans tight end
Pharaoh Brown (shoulder) is listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. Brown appeared on the injury report this week and didn't practice on Thursday before being a full-go in practice on Friday. The Texans already ruled
Brevin Jordan (ankle) out for Sunday's contest, so if Brown doesn't play,
O.J. Howard could have a much bigger role in the team's passing attack.
Jordan Akins would likely be brought up from the practice squad if Brown is inactive against Chicago. Brown, 28, has caught four of his six targets for 41 yards through the team's first two games of the 2022 season. He should remain on waiver wires everywhere.

19 hours agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Tom Brady (finger) was able to practice in full on Friday and was removed from the final injury report. He will play in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers after showing up on the injury report this week with a right finger injury. The 45-year-old GOAT apparently injured his finger in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints, but it's obviously nothing major. More worrisome this weekend is the fact that he's already without
Mike Evans (suspension) and
Chris Godwin (hamstring) and could also be without
Julio Jones (knee), who is questionable. Brady was without Godwin and Jones last week and threw for just 190 yards with one touchdown against a tough Saints defense.

19 hours agoThe Baltimore Ravens downgraded left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) from doubtful to out for the Week 3 game against the New England Patriots. Stanley will have to wait until Week 4 to attempt to make his 2022 season debut on quarterback
Lamar Jackson's blind side. The 28-year-old continues to recover from ankle surgery that cut short his 2021 season. The Ravens have also put Ja'Wuan James (Achilles) on Injured Reserve after he tore his Achilles early this year, so they are down to Patrick Mekari as their starting left tackle against the Patriots this weekend.

19 hours agoDetroit Lions rookie defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (thigh), who is officially listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, said he's "feeling good" and expects to play on Sunday. Hutchinson missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before being limited on Friday. "I think come game time, I won't even be thinking about that," Hutchinson said. It's good news after top pass-rusher John Cominsky (hand) underwent surgery on Tuesday. He won't play against Minnesota. Hutchinson, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, has already recorded three sacks, seven tackles (five solo), two tackles for loss and three QB hits in his first two NFL games.

19 hours agoBuffalo Bills safety Micah Hyde (neck) will be put on season-ending Injured Reserve on Saturday due to his recent neck injury, according to his agent, Jack Bechta. "Fortunately, we expect a healthy return for No. 23 in 2023," Bechta tweeted. Although the Bills defense/special teams unit remains a must-start in fantasy going into a Week 3 divisional matchup against the 2-0 Miami Dolphins, losing Hyde for the remainder of the season is a huge blow to this secondary. Buffalo may also be without All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer (foot), who is questionable for Sunday's game. It's worth noting against a Dolphins offense that put up 40-plus points in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. Jaquan Johnson is expected to fill in for Hyde, starting this weekend.

19 hours agoNew York Giants wide receiver
Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will not practice again on Saturday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Toney took part in practice earlier in the week, but this will be his second straight missed practice, so his availability for Monday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3 isn't looking good. On top of it, the 23-year-old second-year receiver has played just 33 offensive snaps through the first two games, so fantasy managers have dumped him in a lot of leagues already. The Giants' final injury report for Week 3 should be released before long on Saturday, so we'll know soon whether Toney has a chance of playing. Even if he's active, it's hard to recommend him for a starting spot in fantasy lineups this week.

20 hours agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver
Ashton Dulin has surprisingly played well through the first two weeks of the season. Last week, Dulin finished with five receptions on seven targets for 79 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts were without
Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) which is why Dulin likely saw an increase in targets. He has eight receptions for 125 yards on the season, which isn't too bad. However,
Jonathan Taylor,
Nyheim Hines, and Pittman are likely going to see the bulk of action in this offense. Dulin has some deep league appeal, but is tough to trust right now. It's uncertain if he'll continue to have a decent role with Pittman back in Week 3.

20 hours agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver
Parris Campbell posted a dud in the shutout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. The 25-year-old finished with zero receptions on two targets in the loss. This was frustrating for many fantasy managers who figured Campbell would have a big game with
Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) sidelined. Now, Pittman is expected to return for the Week 3 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. A bulk of the passing targets are likely going towards Pittman, which shouldn't surprise anyone. That being said, Campbell shouldn't be trusted in most formats right now. He'll be a desperation option in deep leagues, but there should be better options available.

20 hours agoIndianapolis Colts running back
Nyheim Hines has been active as a pass-catcher this season. Through two games, Hines has 10 receptions for 87 yards, but has done very little on the ground. Almost all the carries go to superstar running back
Jonathan Taylor, which makes sense. Obviously, the Colts are going to want to pound the ball when they have a talent such as Taylor. Now, Hines is basically a one-dimensional player because of it. He'll be able to hold low-end value in PPR leagues most weeks because of his ability to catch passes in the backfield. He should remain on the radar as a low-end flex play in PPR formats for the Week 3 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
