Fantasy Football News

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys in Brazil. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but did travel with the team. It’s worth noting that there are concerns with the field conditions at Maracana Stadium, which could impact Flowers’ status for this one. We’ll keep you posted on the situation, but fantasy owners should still not be counting on Flowers in Week 3 lineups.

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and then limited in Friday’s practice, spotted with a bulky wrap on his right hand. Unless Mitchell is able to shed that wrap for Sunday’s game, it’s tough to imagine him drawing or catching many targets. At this point, he’s too risky to use in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He didn’t practice all week and isn’t a lock to make it back for Week 4. TE Dalton Schultz was the big beneficiary of Collins’ absence last week, hauling in 12 of 14 targets for 140 yards. He’s a solid TE1 play. We wouldn't mess with Houston’s WRs.

Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals, while RB Jaylen Warren (shoulder) is listed as questionable. We’re expecting Warren to play after getting in 3 limited practices this week, and he should dominate work in Pittsburgh’s backfield with Dowdle out. But the shoulder issue adds some risk to Warren’s Week 3 profile. Rookie Eli Heidenreich is the only other RB on the Steelers' active roster. RBs Travis Homer and Lew Nichols are on the practice squad.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. He seemingly has a good chance to play after getting in 3 limited practices this week. But between the injury and a struggling Pittsburgh offense, Pittman is not a recommended Week 3 fantasy start.

Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) is off the final Week 3 injury report. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday but is evidently in no danger of missing this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is listed as questionable after only putting in a limited practice on Friday. His absence would make Pollard a more appealing RB3 or flex start.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. He was limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practices before sitting out on Friday, which HC Klint Kubiak said was planned. We're tentatively expecting Bowers to play on Sunday but will keep you updated on his status up until kickoff. It certainly seems like he still won't be at 100% if he does suit up.

Bills RB Ty Johnson (hamstring) is off the final injury report and will make his 2026 debut vs. the Chargers this weekend. Johnson figures to steal some passing-down snaps from RB James Cook but isn’t a fantasy option. Cook remains an elite play with his Bills rocking a 29-point implied total.

Bills WR D.J. Moore (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chargers. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, sitting out on Thursday. We’re tentatively expecting Moore to play through the AC joint sprain he suffered last week, but his status will be worth monitoring through the weekend. WR Keon Coleman (ankle) is also listed as questionable after only getting in a limited practice on Friday.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday night's game against the Broncos, HC Sean McVay said Friday. Nacua didn't practice all week and does not have a clear timetable for return. WR Davante Adams (32% target share) and TE Terrance Ferguson (29%) dominated passing-game work with Nucua out last week. We're expecting a similar attack in Denver.

Update: McVay said Nacua is expected back for Week 4, barring a setback between now and then, per ESPN's Sarah Barshop.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (thumb) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. New York will have TEs Kenyon Sadiq and Jeremy Ruckert available, so they don’t necessarily need to put Sadiq in a full-time role. But there’s certainly the potential for the rookie to play a lot. He’d be a risky season-long start but is an interesting flier in daily contests.

Niners Edge Nick Bosa injured a calf in practice this week and is expected to miss "a few weeks," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The team reportedly hasn't decided yet whether to place Bosa on IR.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft caught just 4 of 8 targets for 26 yards in Thursday night’s loss to the Falcons. That came in a game in which QB Jordan Love chucked it 53 times for 312 yards. Kraft’s 8 targets ranked third on the team but were an underwhelming 15.1% share. He finished fourth in receiving yards, behind WRs Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, and Skyy Moore. All four of Kraft’s catches came near the line of scrimmage and resulted in very little after-catch yardage. Love and Kraft failed to connect on a wheel route deep ball in the second quarter, and Kraft had 2 straight drops in the fourth quarter.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will not be placed on IR with his dislocated left elbow, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Daniels has spent the week consulting with specialists on his injury and seemingly got good news. He's considered "week to week" going forward, per Schefter.

The Michael Penix-led Falcons exploded for 35 points in Thursday night's win over the Packers. Surely TE Kyle Pitts got on track, right? Right? Nope. Pitts finished with 1 catch for 5 yards. His 2 targets tied with 5 other Falcons for third on the team, behind WRs Drake London and Jahan Dotson. London and RB Bijan Robinson were the engines of the offense, combining for 407 of Atlanta's 498 total yards (82%). Pitts was a total afterthought.

Falcons WR Drake London exploded for 9 catches and 194 yards in Thursday night’s win over the Packers. Amazing what viable QB play can do! After totaling just 6 catches and 80 yards from QB Cooper Rush over the first 2 games of the season, London got a nice outing from QB Michael Penix in his 2026 debut. Penix completed 18 of 25 passes (72%) for 256 yards (10.2 YPA), 1 TD, and 1 INT. London accounted for 40% of Atlanta’s targets, 36% of the receptions, and 76% of the receiving yards. A blown coverage led to a 68-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter. Then London capped his night with a 40-yard contested catch over DB Evan Williams.

Broncos RBs J.K. Dobbins (hip) and R.J. Harvey (hamstring) were upgraded to full participants in Thursday's practice. RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) remained sidelined. It's looking like it'll be Dobbins and Harvey in Denver's backfield vs. the Rams this weekend. They'll both be in play as RB3 or flex options.

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell was added to the injury report with a finger and limited in practice on Thursday. We'll need to wait for Friday's finale injury report to find out if he's in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Lions. Mitchell was shaping up as a nice fantasy spot starter in that plus matchup. Stay tuned.

After getting in a limited workout on Wednesday, Panthers WR Jalen Coker (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. This could just be a rest day for the ankle injury he's been battling since the opener, but Coker's status will be worth checking on when we get Carolina's final injury report on Friday afternoon.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury. We don't have any other details on the issue after Smith seemed to make it out of Week 2 healthy. He has an extra day to get ready for Monday night's game vs. the Bears. We'll update Smith's status again tomorrow.
