Fantasy Football News

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Friday. That should have him on track to play vs the Bears on Monday night, but we'll see how Smith is listed on Friday's final injury report.

49ers WR Mike Evans (hip) only got in a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. HC Kyle Shanahan said after last week’s win that Evans’ injury wasn’t serious, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Thursday that Evans had a “good chance” to play this weekend. We’re tentatively projecting him to play but will look for further updates on his status. WR Demarcus Robinson (ankle) is out, leaving Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, KhaDarel Hodge, and Jordan Watkins as San Francisco’s healthy WRs.

Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. That could mean a bigger role for fellow rookie WR Chris Bell, but he still can’t be trusted in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. He remained sidelined in practice all week. TEs Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff both saw just 1 target with Okonkwo out last week. You can safely ignore Washington’s TEs in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (chest) practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. Price was controlling backfield work before exiting with the chest injury last week, handling 13 of 20 RB carries. Expect him back in a similar role against Washington.

Broncos RBs J.K. Dobbins (hip) and R.J. Harvey (hamstring) are off the final injury report for Sunday night’s game vs. the Rams. Both guys were full participants in practice on Thursday and Friday. RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) has been ruled out, so this backfield should look similar in terms of workload split to Week 1, when Dobbins out-carried Harvey 8 to 3 but Harvey saw all 4 RB targets.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (knee) is not listed on the final injury report. There was some concern about his availability for this one early in the week, but he progressed to a full practice on Friday. Jones should control backfield work again vs. the Buccaneers after carrying 23 times last week, although the knee issues adds some risk.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) is off the final injury report and will start Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. QB Drew Lock played well in relief, but Darnold’s return is still good news for WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the rest of Seattle’s offense.

Patriots TE Eli Raridon (thigh) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. The rookie was limited in Wednesday’s practice and then sidelined on Thursday and Friday. We’re not expecting him to play, which is a slight boost to TE Hunter Henry’s outlook.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, but HC Dave Canales said Friday that he expects Coker to play. He’s been producing through this ankle injury since early in Week 1, so Coker is fine to keep in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

After sitting out on Thursday, Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) returned to a full practice on Friday. He should be ready for his usual role as the 1B behind D'Andre Swift vs. the Eagles on Monday night.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (shoulder) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He was a full-go on Thursday and Friday after being limited in Wednesday’s practice. Nabers said earlier this week that his shoulder “popped out” during the loss to the Rams but that he got “good results” from the x-ray. Nabers will play against Tennessee on Sunday but carries some re-injury risk. Check your Team Dashboard to see if he belongs in your starting lineup.

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.
