Bucky Irving Continues to see Role Grow
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was once again excellent on the ground for the second straight week. On Sunday, Irving carried the ball 17 times for 89 yards, while hauling in four receptions for one yard in the loss to the Cleveland Browns. Irving is clearly the workhorse back after seeing 17 carries in the backfield. He has been averaging over five yards per carry, so the Bucs are going to continue riding with Irving. As long as he continues to succeed, Irving should see his role continue to grow in this offense. He'll get a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 3. Fantasy managers should still plug him in as a RB2.

Aaron Judge Plans to Play in AL Wild-Card Series
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (calf) said he intends to be ready for Game 1 of the American League Wild-Card Series, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Judge is currently on the 10-day injured list as he battles a calf strain, but it appears he has a chance to be on the field when the Yankees open postseason play next Tuesday. It's been an injury-marred 2026 season for Judge, who was sidelined from late May until early September by a stress fracture in his rib and then immediately went back on the IL with the calf issue. He's also been below his incredibly lofty standard when healthy enough to play, hitting .241/.360/.511 with 18 home runs, 41 RBI, 45 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 285 plate appearances. Still, getting Judge back would obviously be a massive boost for a Yankees lineup that has largely struggled without its best player.

Jahan Dotson a Risky Flex Play with Little Upside in Week 3
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson has garnered four targets in each of the team's first two games, hauling in three of the eight for 30 yards. Although he is technically Atlanta's No. 2 receiver behind Drake London, the Penn State product could end up as the fourth option at best now that Michael Penix Jr. (knee) has returned from his knee injury. The left-handed QB played eight full contests in 2025 and looked at London, Kyle Pitts Sr., and Bijan Robinson quite often, leaving very little for the other receiving options. We'll see if that changes on Thursday night in Green Bay for Atlanta's Week 3 contest, but as the team eases Penix back in and likely leans on the running game for as long as possible, don't expect much more from the 26-year-old wideout until we see otherwise. The former first-rounder ranks as a risky low-end flex play this week who has a low ceiling and a floor of zero in this matchup.

Chris Moore is Limited During Wednesday's Practice
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It sounds like Moore suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. Moore was expected to have a bigger role in the passing attack with the Ravens banged up at wideout. He played 55 percent of the offensive snaps, but Moore finished with one reception on three targets for six yards. There's a chance that Moore remains a starter for the Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. If he's out, Devontez Walker could see an elevated role. It's unlikely that either player does enough in the receiving game to warrant rostering in fantasy formats right now.

Jacoby Brissett Practices in Full on Wednesday
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hip) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, according to the team's official website. The veteran quarterback appears to have picked up a hip injury during the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It doesn't seem to be making too much of an impact, with him being able to practice in full on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday for another update on his status. Barring any setbacks, Brissett should be in the QB2 conversation for the Week 3 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Jalen Suggs Could Play More Off the Ball
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs could benefit from spending more time off the ball under new head coach Sean Sweeney, according to Orlando Magic Daily. Suggs hit 39.3 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes on 3.8 attempts per game last season but finished at 33.9 percent overall from deep on a team-high 6.3 attempts. His efficiency also dipped when injuries forced him into a larger scoring role. Suggs averaged 17.8 points but shot just 28.9 percent from three between Paolo Banchero's groin injury and his own hip issue. Playing more off Banchero and Franz Wagner could help clean up his shot selection, while Anthony Black could take on some additional creation duties.

Demarcus Robinson Misses Wednesday's Practice
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, according to the team's official website. Robinson suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Robinson is likely to miss 3-to-6 weeks of action. He hasn't been placed on the Injured Reserve yet, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back in action anytime soon. The 49ers are already extremely banged up at wideout with Mike Evans (hip) not practicing on Wednesday. Deebo Samuel Sr. and Jacob Cowing could see larger roles against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. Robinson doesn't need to be rostered in most 12-team formats.

Brian Robinson Hanging Around Low-End Flex Territory in Week 3
Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson (ankle) saw an uptick in usage in Week 2, carrying the ball 11 times for 51 yards while also seeing and catching his first two targets of the 2026 campaign for 16 yards. A soft Carolina run defense and the fact that the game was well out of hand by the end of the third quarter were contributing factors, but this week's matchup could prove a bit tougher. The Thursday Night Football showdown on the road in Green Bay carries a low over/under of 42.5, with Atlanta having an implied point total of just 19, and features a Packer defense that is yielding just 2.9 yards per rush, which is second-lowest in the NFL. The 27-year-old should continue to see his fair share of carries as he spells Bijan Robinson and maintains his status as one of the top handcuffs in the league, but the Alabama product projects as nothing more than a low-end flex/RB5 at RotoBaller this week.

Domantas Sabonis Remains a Kings Trade Candidate
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis may need to rebuild his trade value with a strong start to the season, according to ABC10's Matt George, who noted that general manager Scott Perry has been reluctant to attach draft picks to move veteran contracts. Sabonis appeared in only 19 games last season before undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, averaging 15.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. The three-time All-Star is expected to be ready for training camp and should reclaim a sizable role if healthy. His return could cut into the opportunities of Maxime Raynaud, who averaged 12.5 points and 7.5 rebounds while making 56 starts as a rookie.

Dereck Lively II Not Cleared for Mavericks Training Camp
Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (foot) has not been cleared for training camp as he continues to recover from December surgery, according to Tim MacMahon. The 22-year-old has not suffered a setback and is slowly ramping up toward basketball activity, but his status for the start of the season remains uncertain. Lively played only seven games last season, averaging 4.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 16.4 minutes. He has appeared in just 98 games across his first three seasons. With Santi Aldama, Daniel Gafford, and Moussa Cisse also in the center mix, Lively may have to work his way back into a sizable role. His shot-blocking upside remains appealing, but the health concerns make him more of a late-round stash.

Jadarian Price is Limited to Begin the Week
Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest, shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday, according to John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Price was forced to leave Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals due to a chest injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald called it a shoulder injury on Monday. Regardless of what it is, Price is still dealing with the problem to begin the week. The expectation is that his involvement in practice will ramp up as the week goes on. Zach Charbonnet (knee) won't be ready to play in time for the Week 3 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani would likely split up the duties in the backfield if Price is unable to go. Fantasy managers should check back after Thursday's practice for another update on his status.

David Stone an Unknown vs. Georgia
Oklahoma star defensive lineman David Stone (undisclosed) is questionable to suit up for the Sooners as they take on SEC opponent Georgia on Saturday afternoon. Stone is second among Oklahoma defensive linemen in tackles with 12 on the season, while he has also added a .5 sack. The Sooners square off with a Georgia offense that put up 45 points in a blowout win over Arkansas in Week 3, which actually dropped their season scoring average to 59.3 points per game, the best mark in the country. Oklahoma needs all the help it can get against a vaunted Bulldogs offense this weekend.

Brandon Ingram's Heel Status Unclear Ahead of Media Day
Los Angeles Clippers forward Brandon Ingram (heel) enters training camp with some uncertainty after ESPN's Brian Windhorst said on NBA Today that there has been no update on his recovery from offseason surgery. Toronto announced in May that Ingram had a spur removed from his right heel and was expected to be ready for camp. The two-time All-Star joined Los Angeles in the Kawhi Leonard trade after averaging 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across 77 games last season. More clarity should come at Monday's media day. If Ingram needs extra time to ramp up, Rui Hachimura and Max Strus could see more wing minutes, while Darius Garland may take on more of the offensive creation.

Nate Frazier Questionable vs. Oklahoma
Georgia running back Nate Frazier (undisclosed) is questionable to play in the Bulldogs' Week 4 meeting with SEC foe Oklahoma, per the SEC availability report. Frazier has been highly productive to start the season, recording five touchdowns rushing over his team's first three games. He is averaging 8.4 yards per carry while totaling 202 yards rushing entering this Saturday's game. Frazier is RotoBaller's 39th-ranked running back and is projected to score 11.8 fantasy points against the Sooners this weekend. Oklahoma has allowed 111 yards rushing per game this season. Last week, the Sooners gave up just 69 yards on the ground during a slim 14-6 win over New Mexico.

Cooper Kupp is Limited on Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (back) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Kupp was dealing with a back issue last week as well, but he still managed to suit up on Sunday. He hauled in both his targets for 20 yards in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. The expectation is that the Seahawks are just being careful with the veteran wideout to begin the week. Barring any setbacks, Kupp should be ready to go for the Week 3 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Kupp has four receptions for 55 yards through the first two games of the season. He offers some deep league appeal, but he isn't someone who must be started right now.
