Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (knee) is questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. He was added to the injury report and limited on Thursday and then limited again in Friday's practice. We'll look for an update on Moore on Sunday morning. This game doesn't kick off until 4:25 pm ET.

Falcons HC Arthur Smith said Friday that TE Kyle Pitts' hamstring injury is "not expected to be long-term." Smith, per ESPN's Michael Rothstein, said Pitts "woke up more sore than usual" after last week's game, so the team is being cautious in holding him out this Sunday. We'll see if Pitts is able to make it back for Week 6.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bucs. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 6. His absence leaves Parker Hesse as Atlanta's top TE, with Anthony Firkser behind him. Avoid that situation in fantasy lineups. The Falcons figure to lean on their run game for as long as they can on Sunday. When they do take to the air, WR Drake London should dominate targets.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He's in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Bucs. We'll see if Pitts practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts missed Wednesday's practice and is on the injury report with a hamstring. It's the 1st we've heard of the issue, although it's worth noting that Pitts played a season-low 62% of the offensive snaps last week. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He remained limited in practice all week, and it’s uncertain how big a role he’ll be returning to. We’d try not to use Moore in Week 4 fantasy lineups. His return should also put WR Greg Dortch on fantasy benches.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It'll be his season debut after hurting that hamstring in practice just prior to Week 1. WR Greg Dortch has been fine in Moore's place over the past 3 weeks, but we're assuming that Moore will take back over as Arizona's primary slot receiver. With some uncertainty about the situation, though, we'd try to avoid both guys in Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers after a limited week of practice. HC Kliff Kingsbury on Friday insinuated that Moore will be a game-time decision. We wouldn't trust him in fantasy lineups in his 1st game off a multi-week injury. But Moore's return would knock WR Greg Dortch out of fantasy consideration.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice. It looks like he has a shot to make his 2022 debut vs. the Panthers this weekend, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Wednesday -- his 1st since going down on September 8. We'll see what Moore does over the next couple of days and if he's able to play vs. the Panthers this weekend. His return would be bad news for waiver darling Greg Dortch.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts had his best receiving line of the season so far, with 5 catches for 87 yards in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. His 8 targets led the team and accounted for 40% of QB Marcus Mariota's total pass attempts. The downside: Pitts saw his playing time decrease in 2-WR sets. He played in 64 of 74 such snaps through the first 2 games (86.5%). That rate dipped to 54.3% at Seattle, according to Pro Football Focus numbers. WR Drake London followed with 6 targets, the only other Falcon to draw more than 2. Mariota threw for 229 yards and a TD to London on his 20 attempts. He added a 1-yard TD on the ground in the 1st quarter.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He still hasn't practiced since hurting his hamstring on September 8. Greg Dortch gets another game as Arizona's slot receiver after totaling 11 catches on 13 targets over the past 2 weeks.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) missed practice again on Thursday. Fantasy owners should plan to be without him for at least another week.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) remained sidelined on Wednesday. Fantasy owners obviously can't bank on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Rams.

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins managed just 58.7% completions on 46 pass attempts in Monday night's one-sided loss to the Eagles. He finished with 221 passing yards, 1 TD and 3 INTs, finding TE Irv Smith for the team's only score. A Week 3 matchup with Detroit should prove more favorable for the entire Minnesota offense.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney sunk fantasy owners in Week 2 with 1 catch for -4 yards. Yeah, that’s not a typo. Justin Fields attempted only 11 passes at Green Bay and piloted an offense that scored 1 TD on the night. He did target Mooney once deep downfield, but the pass was overthrown. Through 2 games, Mooney’s now sitting on 2 catches (5 targets) for 4 yards. He’ll look to break the cold streak at home against Houston.

Falcons rookie WR Drake London absorbed 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Rams, accounting for 46% of the team's total pass attempts. he caught 8 for 86 yards and 1 of QB Marcus Mariota's 2 TD passes. (Olamide Zaccheaus snagged the other.) No other Falcon topped 3 targets in the game, with TE Kyle Pitts tying WR KhaDarel Hodge for that #2 spot. Pitts caught 2 for 19 yards. His playing time remained strong, as Pitts played 7 more snaps and ran 1 more route than London. We'll need more than that going forward, though. Matchups with Seattle and Cleveland the next 2 weeks have potential to help.

With Damien Williams on short-term IR with a rib injury, Falcons rookie RB Tyler Allgeier got his 1st pro action in Sunday's loss to the Rams. Allgeier matched RB Cordarrelle Patterson for the team carry lead (10), turning that into just 30 yards. He ran 5 routes but didn't get a target. Allgeier trailed only Patterson in playing time, with Avery Williams and Caleb Huntley factoring in behind them. Patterson ran for 41 yards on 10 attempts and garnered just 1 target (no catches).

Falcons WR Drake London drew 12 targets among just 26 Marcus Mariota pass attempts in Sunday's loss to the Rams. London racked up an 8-86-1 receiving line, while no teammate drew more than 3 looks. Through 2 games, the rookie has garnered 32.2% of Atlanta's total pass attempts. TE Kyle Pitts got just 3 targets against the Rams, tying WR KhaDarel Hodge for 2nd on the team. Pitts caught 2 for 19 yards.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore might miss “a few more weeks” with his hamstring injury, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Arizona reportedly isn’t currently planning to place him on IR. WR Greg Dortch will carry upside as long as Moore is out.
