9 mins agoCincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) did not take part in practice on Thursday. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that the team will take it "day-to-day" with Borrow after he aggravated a calf injury in the Week 2 loss that kept him out for all of training camp and the preseason, and Burrow himself said "we'll see" when asked if he'll play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Burrow's calf injury and inactivity this summer is a big reason why Cincy's offense has gotten off to a slow start, and that may not chance for a while if he's forced to miss additional time. If you drafted the 26-year-old hoping he'd be your starter each and every week, you should already be searching for an insurance policy in Week 3, especially with the Bengals' game not coming until Monday this week. If Burrow misses Monday's game, Jake Browning would make the start under center.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL Network - James Palmer

24 mins agoTennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday after he took part in a full practice on Wednesday. Hopkins didn't practice at all last week but still played in the Week 2 overtime win over the Los Angeles Chargers, playing only 60 percent of the offensive snaps while catching four passes for 40 yards. The 31-year-old veteran has been practicing this week and should be fine to take on more of a snap percentage this Sunday on the road in Cleveland against the Browns. The move from a full practice to a limited session on Thursday is likely to be for rest purposes. Fantasy managers that have been starting Hopkins through two weeks need to keep him in their lineups.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt

29 mins agoTennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (toe) missed practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. King Henry's absence from Thursday's practice was a combination of his toe injury and rest purposes, but fantasy managers shouldn't be worried at all that he's in danger of missing a Week 3 game against the Cleveland Browns. As long as the 29-year-old is back at practice on Friday, he should be a must-start in all fantasy lineups on Sunday. Through the first two games of 2023, Henry has 40 carries for 143 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and a touchdown, adding five catches on seven targets for 71 additional yards.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt

34 mins agoMiami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. There should be no questions about whether Hill will suit up this Sunday in a Week 3 matchup at home against the Denver Broncos. The 29-year-old All-Pro pass-catcher is already a target hog in Miami's offense, but he could see even more looks this weekend if fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle isn't cleared from the league's concussion protocol. Through the first two games of 2023, Hill has lived up to his lofty fantasy draft value with 16 receptions, 255 yards and three touchdowns for the 2-0 Dolphins. He remains a no-doubt, must-start fantasy commodity.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: South Florida Sun-Sentinel - David Furones

39 mins agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (knee) missed another practice on Thursday. Ekeler suffered an ankle injury in the season opener and hasn't practiced since while also missing the Week 2 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans. He says he's made some progress, but unless he's able to get back on the field in some capacity on Friday, he's likely to miss a second straight game this Sunday on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. Joshua Kelley disappointed as a plug-and-play fantasy option with Ekeler out last weekend, but he'd be worth another shot in fantasy lineups in Minnesota against a porous defense if Ekeler misses another game. Check back on Friday for Ekeler's final status for Sunday's game.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: The Athletic - Daniel Popper

44 mins agoDallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) suffered a torn ACL during practice on Thursday, an MRI exam confirmed, according to a source. Diggs will now miss the rest of the 2023 season. The Cowboys defense/special teams unit will still be a top play for the rest of the year, but losing Diggs is huge news going forward. The 26-year-old fourth-year defensive back had already forced two turnovers and had three passes defensed in the first two games of the season. With Diggs out the rest of the way, the Cowboys are prepared to move DaRon Bland to the outside across from corner Stephon Gilmore, with Jourdan Lewis now likely to operate at slot cornerback for the Cowboys.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero

54 mins agoCleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford filled in nicely in Week 2 after his team lost Nick Chubb for the season due to a major knee injury. Ford found the end zone on a reception and set the team up for another score with a 69-yard run down to the Pittsburgh one-yard line. He will look to repeat that success in Week 3's home matchup against the Tennessee Titans, although he may have a hard time doing so against a stout run defense. The Titans can be beat through the air but they are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs through the first two games of the season. Fantasy gamers who picked Ford up off of waivers are likely anxious to insert him into their starting lineups but he is best left on the bench until a better matchup presents itself.--Matt T - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com

54 mins agoCarolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday and is not expected to play in Week 3 on Sunday on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. Veteran Andy Dalton took first-team repetitions at practice on Thursday for the second day in a row with Young hurting, and he's now set for his first start of the season. It's doesn't sound like a particularly serious injury for the first overall pick of this year's draft, but the Panthers don't want to jeopardize his development by throwing him out there on an injured ankle. In a hostile environment, look for Carolina to lean on their ground game as much as possible with Dalton under center, which is good news for running backs Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard. Dalton will be a low-end QB2 option for those desperate in superflex leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: Panthers Twitter

58 mins agoCleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled in a 26-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, throwing a pick-six and losing a fumble that was returned 17 yards for a touchdown. He will look to bounce back at home against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Watson has a few things going for him this week as the Titans have been stout against the run but struggle to defend the pass. The Browns could use that, plus the fact that they lost Nick Chubb for the season, to dial up more passing plays for Watson and his receivers. Watson has not played well since taking over as QB for the Browns last season but he has enough working in his favor to treat as a high-end QB2 in fantasy for Week 3.--Matt T - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com

1 hour agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has been oddly a viable streaming option through the first two games. They've only allowed 17 points in each of the first two contests of the season. The Bucs also have eight sacks and three interceptions as well. It's worth noting that the Bucs have played the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears who are both prone to mistakes and turnovers. The Bucs defense will have a much more difficult time trying to contain the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. That being said, the Bucs are unlikely to have the same success they've experienced through the first two weeks during this Monday night matchup.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pro Football Reference

1 hour agoTampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been a fairly reliable option through the first two weeks of the season. He had a field goal blocked during the second quarter of the Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears. Outside of that, McLaughlin has been perfect, which is great to see. However, McLaughlin hasn't seen many field goal chances this season, which is hurting his fantasy value. It probably isn't going to get any easier versus the tough Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 3. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option for Week 3.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pro Football Reference

2 hours agoTampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was surprisingly involved quite a bit during the Week 2 matchup with the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old hauled in six receptions for 41 yards in the victory. The second-year tight end is beginning to build more chemistry with newcomer Baker Mayfield. The hope is that Otton turns into a trusted underneath option for Mayfield this season. He'll head into a Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. A defensive unit that has struggled to contain the tight end position early in the season. That being said, Otton has some low-end streaming appeal to desperate fantasy managers looking for an option in Week 3.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pro Football Reference

2 hours agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has surprisingly been off to a slow start to begin the season. Through two games, Godwin has 10 receptions for 109 yards and zero touchdowns. Right now, Godwin has been mainly a short yardage passing option, while Mike Evans is getting the deep balls. Despite his slow start, Godwin has the skills and potential to be a reliable contributor. However, he'll draw a tough matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. Oddly, the Eagles have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wideouts this season. The expectation is that superstar defensive back Darius Slay will be on Evans this week. That means, Godwin will have an easier matchup which should lead to more success. That being said, Godwin is probably more of a WR3, but has WR2 upside for this matchup.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pro Football Reference

2 hours agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has put together back-to-back strong performances to open the season. The veteran wideout has hauled in 12 receptions for 237 yards and two touchdowns during the first two games of the season. The Bucs have targeted Evans heavy in the passing game and that is likely to continue going forward. Evans will now head into a matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. A defensive unit that is normally solid, but has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season. That being said, Evans should remain in the WR2 conversation for the upcoming Monday night matchup.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pro Football Reference
