18 hours agoDallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (foot) was removed from the Week 3 injury report on Friday after putting in a full practice. Diggs was held out on Wednesday before being upgraded to a limited session on Thursday. He will be active on Sunday to face the visiting Baltimore Ravens and will likely be tasked with trying to slow down Ravens top receiver
Zay Flowers. The ball-hawking defensive back already has one interception through two games to go with 10 total tackles (eight solo) and two pass breakups. It's great news for Dallas' defense/special teams unit that Diggs will be able to play this weekend, but the Cowboys D/ST is a clear fade in DFS and season-long formats this weekend against a Ravens team that has their back against the wall and is desperately trying to avoid going 0-3 early on. Baltimore's offense has averaged 21.5 points through the first two weeks of 2024.

18 hours agoCleveland Browns quarterback
Deshaun Watson has thrown for 355 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions through two games thus far this season. He will look for his first multi-touchdown game at home in Week 3 against the New York Giants. The Giants have been decent against quarterbacks this season, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to the position. The main concern with Watson here is that the Browns could get out to an early lead which would allow Watson to spend much of the afternoon handing the ball off to his running backs. Due to pass volume concerns and general mediocre play from Watson this season, he settles in as a mid-range QB2 heading into Week 3.

18 hours agoIndianapolis Colts kicker
Matt Gay (quadriceps) has been removed from the final injury report on Friday and will kick in Week 3 at Lucas Oil Stadium against the visiting Chicago Bears. Gay missed the season-opening loss to the division-rival Houston Texans after having sports-hernia surgery but returned in last week's loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 30-year-old made his only extra-point try while going 1-for-2 on his field-goal attempts at Lambeau Field. Gay missed practice on Wednesday due to a new quad injury but practiced in full on both Thursday and Friday, assuring he will play on Sunday. Going up against a stout Bears defense and potentially without their top receiver in
Michael Pittman Jr. (back, calf), Gay isn't a recommended fantasy streamer for Week 3.

18 hours agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs travels with the Packers to Nashville to take on the Titans in Week 3, where he'll be considered a flex option for fantasy managers. Doubs led the Packers in receiving yards with 62 in Green Bay's 16-10 win, but overall, the passing game was a distant second in importance to the run game. With just 14 pass attempts, passing volume was extremely hard to come by as the Packers employed a very conservative run-heavy approach to the game plan against the Colts in Week 2. That's the likely game plan in Week 3 should Willis get the starting nod. Starting quarterback
Jordan Love (knee) has left the door open a crack with his availability this week, entering the weekend on the injury report with a questionable designation. If Love does end up playing, the offense is immediately upgraded. If Willis is starting, then consider Doubs a low-end flex option in Week 3.

18 hours agoJacksonville Jaguars tight end
Evan Engram (hamstring) missed a second straight practice this week on Friday and appears to be trending toward missing a second straight game in Week 3 on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. Engram injured his hamstring during pre-game warmups before the Week 2 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He will likely need to return to practice on Saturday to avoid being ruled out on the final injury report of the week. As of right now, fantasy managers should plan to be without the 30-year-old veteran. With Engram out last Sunday,
Brenton Strange stepped up as the top pass-catching TE and played 68% of the offensive snaps, catching three of his six targets for 65 yards. The Bills defense has been vulnerable so far through two games to the TE position, but Strange will still be only a TE2 sleeper for fantasy lineups if Engram misses a second straight game.

Rachaad White (groin) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday and was removed from the final Week 3 injury report. White will be active on Sunday versus the visiting Denver Broncos despite suffering a groin injury in the Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. He was limited in the first two practices this week before upgrading to full on Friday. The 25-year-old's poor performance through two weeks of the 2024 season and the fact he's coming off an injury don't really make him an all that attractive RB2, with the possibility that backup
Bucky Irving could get more work this weekend. White has averaged a weak 2.0 yards per carry on his 25 rushing attempts (49 yards) through the first two games. The good news is that White is facing a Broncos defense that was terrible against the run last year, and they've allowed the 11th-most half-PPR points to RBs so far in 2024.

19 hours agoMiami Dolphins running back
Raheem Mostert (chest) is officially listed as doubtful to suit up in Week 3 on the road at Lumen Field on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. It appears as though Mostert needs another week of recovery, which isn't a surprise after head coach Mike McDaniel said he was "pessimistic" about Mostert playing earlier on Friday. Mostert suffered a chest injury in the Week 1 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and sat out on a short week last Thursday in the blowout loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills. With quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) out for the foreseeable future, look for Miami to lean on running back
De'Von Achane heavily against Seattle this weekend. Achane saw 29 touches against Buffalo last week. With Mostert likely out a second straight week,
Jeff Wilson Jr. and rookie
Jaylen Wright will be sprinkled in when Achane needs a blow.

19 hours agoDetroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (quadriceps) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final Week 3 injury report on Friday. St. Brown will be active this Sunday as the team takes on the Arizona Cardinals on the road. There was never much concern about whether the 24-year-old would play this weekend after leaving the Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers temporarily due to a quad contusion and cramping. He bounced back last week with 11 catches on 18 targets for 119 yards after going for three grabs and only 13 receiving yards in the season-opening win over the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers need to keep St. Brown locked into all starting lineups against a Cardinals defense that has surrendered the 10th-most half-PPR fantasy points to opposing wideouts through the first two weeks of the season against the Bills and Rams.

19 hours agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (back) has had his practice reps limited this week, but enters the weekend off of the injury report. Jacobs is good to go this weekend and should inspire some confidence this week against the Tennessee Titans after last week's game plan with starting quarterback
Malik Willis. While the Packers will still use Jacobs as a workhorse running back regardless of quarterback, the Packers clearly designed their entire offense around it in Week 2 with just 14 pass attempts and 53 rushing attempts. Jacobs rushed the ball 32 times for 151 yards in the Packers' 16-10 win last week, and another big workload means a top-12 fantasy finish may be in order yet again in Week 3. Love may return from injury to play in Week 3, but it's more likely Willis is in at quarterback for another week. Either way, fire up Jacobs as a locked-in RB1.

19 hours agoSan Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (rib) and cornerback Charvarius Ward (hamstring, knee) are both listed as questionable to face the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 3 action on Sunday. Bosa was not on the first injury report of the week, suggesting he picked up his rib injury during practice on Thursday. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues need to have a backup plan ready in case Bosa is ruled out on Sunday, and it makes things more difficult that the Niners-Rams don't kick off until the later window this weekend. Through the first two weeks in 2024, the All-Pro pass-rusher has seven tackles (five solo) and two sacks for a vaunted Niners D. If Bosa is active, he needs to be in all starting IDP lineups while going up against a banged-up Rams offensive line and offense that is without top receivers
Cooper Kupp (ankle) and
Puka Nacua (knee).

19 hours agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Malik Willis is likely to get another start this week as the Packers head to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. With
Jordan Love (knee) officially questionable on the Packers' injury report, the door is open for Love, but realistically, Willis is a pretty solid favorite to start and play in Week 3. Willis' first start with the Packers against the Colts in Week 2 was carefully managed as he completed 12-of-14 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown, while also adding 41 rushing yards. Head coach Matt LaFleur didn't ask Willis to do too much, but Willis didn't turn the ball over and let the run game do the heavy lifting. The Packers likely mimic the same approach in Week 3 as Green Bay should run the ball with heavy volume and use the pass as a change of pace. Consider Willis a low-end QB2 and a weaker streaming candidate in fantasy this week against Tennessee.

19 hours agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) has officially been ruled out for the Week 3 game this Sunday versus the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on the road. It doesn't come as much of a surprise after Samuel was unable to practice all week after suffering a calf injury in the Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old is expected to miss multiple weeks, so fantasy managers can't assume that he'll be back for a Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots. Running back
Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) is on Injured Reserve, and tight end
George Kittle (hamstring) is doubtful to play this weekend, which leaves
Brandon Aiyuk and
Jauan Jennings as the Niners' top two pass-catchers. Without CMC, Samuel and Kittle, fantasy managers need to be downgrading quarterback
Brock Purdy to QB2 territory against LA.
