Jahan Dotson expected to miss a game or two
Suffered hamstring injury in Week 4
By: Doug Orth | Oct 3 2022, 11:50 pm
|
Commanders rookie WR Jahan Dotson is dealing with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss 1-2 weeks, per HC Ron Rivera. (PFF - Ari Meirov)
FFToday's Take: Dotson has shown a nose for the end zone thus far with four touchdowns on his first 12 NFL receptions. His absence could be just the thing that Terry McLaurin needs to get on track after a bit of a slow start to his season. It should also help matters that Washington faces the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears over the next two weeks.

Treylon Burks out for a bit
Suffered turf toe in Week 4
By: Doug Orth | Oct 3 2022, 7:40 pm
|
Titans first-round WR Treylon Burks, who left yesterday’s game with a foot injury, has been diagnosed with turf toe, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. No surgery is necessary, just rehab. But Burks will miss some time. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: It should mean Robert Woods gets a slight bump in targets, although how much that means in Tennessee's offense is up for debate. Nevertheless, Woods is probably a worthy flex option at this point. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips will also be more involved. Turf toe injuries tend to linger, so it might not be the worst idea to find the most passionate fan of Burks in your league and see if you can unload him for a player such as Jakobi Meyers.

Pittsburgh turns to Kenny Pickett as starting QB
Replaces Mitchell Trubisky
By: Doug Orth | Oct 3 2022, 7:30 pm
|
The Steelers are expected to move forward with rookie QB Kenny Pickett, sources say, as the first-rounder is set to replace Mitch Trubisky in the lineup. Pickett saw his first action on Sunday and is slated to be the QB moving forward. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: While the fact this change is happening isn't surprising at all, the timing of it is. The most logical time for the switch would have been after the Week 9 bye with the bills, Buccaneers, Dolphins and Eagles next on the schedule. With that said, HC Mike Tomlin probably understood he couldn't stand pat with Mitchell Trubisky and risk going 1-7 heading into that off week. Pickett won't be anything more than a middling QB2 option against that slate, but he could emerge as a decent QB2 over the second half of the season.

Cordarrelle Patterson placed on IR, knee injury
Will miss the next four games
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 3 2022, 1:10 pm
|
Falcons’ running back Cordarrelle Patterson has been placed on injured reserve due to his knee injury, meaning he’s out at least the next four games. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Patterson will be eligible to return in Week 9 against the Chargers. In the meantime, Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley will handle the bulk of the rushing duties the next few weeks against the Bucs, 49ers, Bengals and Panthers. The Falcons ran the ball 14-straight times yesterday against the Browns. Huntley posted a 10-56-1 line with 0 targets in Week 4.

Javonte Williams out for the year with knee injury
Torn ACL, LCL
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 3 2022, 1:01 pm
|
Not only does #Broncos RB Javonte Williams have a torn ACL, but the MRI revealed a a torn LCL and posterior lateral corner, sources say. A significant injury and a long road back. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Broncos lost their lead running back in Week 4 against the Raiders and must now move forward with Melvin Gordon and Mike Boone at the top of the depth chart. Given damage done, it's no sure thing that Williams is ready for Week 1 of the 2023 season.
|

Javonte Williams leaves with knee injury
MRI tomorrow
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 2 2022, 8:53 pm
|
#Broncos RB Javonte Williams is feared to have suffered a serious knee injury, source said. He’ll have an MRI tomorrow to determine the full extent, but there is not a lot of optimism surrounding the injury. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Williams left the locker room on crutches. It obviously doesn't sound good at this point. Melvin Gordon and Mike Boone would be the running backs to carry the load in Denver if Williams misses a good portion of the season.

Alvin Kamara is Out for Week 4
Still battling rib issue
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 2 2022, 7:46 am
|
#Saints Coach Dennis Allen just confirmed to me Alvin Kamara will NOT play today (ribs). Jarvis Landry (ankle) will play. #MINvsNO (Stacey Dales on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: the Saints are going with the JV team in London today. Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas and now Kamara will all sit. Andy Dalton, Mark Ingram, Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry should be the leading fantasy point producers against the Vikings. Ingram slides in as a Flex consideration. Latavius Murray has been elevated from the practice squad.

Gametime decision but Bucs are optimistic on Godwin, Julio
Both listed as Questionable
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 1 2022, 11:59 pm
|
Bucs are optimistic that WRs Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), both listed as questionable, both will be able to play Sunday night vs the Chiefs, but Tampa Bay wants to test both pregame to make sure, per sources. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Given this is a Sunday night game, it's going to be hard to plug Jones or Godwin in your lineup without a Plan B on Monday night in place. Both receivers haven't played since being injured in Week 1 and can't be counted on to play a whole game even if they're active.
|
|
 |
Christian McCaffrey likely to play
Thigh injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 1 2022, 11:23 pm
|
Panthers’ RB Christian McCaffrey, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a thigh injury, is likely to play vs. the Cardinals, per source. McCaffrey missed two practices last week, a sign he might not be at full strength. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Not the best report for McCaffrey owners but it seems like he will be on the field in Week 4 against the Cardinals. Arizona and Carolina kickoff late in the afternoon so pay attention to morning news and inactives in the early afternoon.

Lions downgrade D.J. Chark, Out for Week 4
Detroit struggling for playmakers
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 1 2022, 4:14 pm
|
The #Lions downgraded WR D.J. Chark (ankle) to out and elevated WRs Tom Kennedy and Maurice Alexander. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Lions are heading into their Week 4 matchup against the Seahawks without D'Andre Swift, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Chark. Their projected starting three receivers will be Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus. Reynolds and TE T.J. Hockenson should get the most looks from Jared Goff.

Patriots downgrade Jakobi Meyers, Out for Week 4
Missed Week 3 with knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 1 2022, 1:11 pm
|
Patriots downgraded WR Jakobi Meyers to out for Sunday’s game at Green Bay. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Meyers will miss his second game in a row with a knee injury. He was limited in practice this week. With Meyers out in Week 3, we saw a DeVante Parker blow up game (5-156-0). Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne should round out the top three receivers for backup QB Brian Hoyer.
|
|
 |
Keenan Allen Out for Week 4
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 30 2022, 4:18 pm
|
WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is OUT vs. Texans. Brandon Staley said plan is for Donald Parham to sit this weekend and return next week vs. Browns. Wants to make sure Parham is in proper football shape. Today was Parham’s first day back practicing fully. (Daniel Popper on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This will be the third game Allen has missed after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1. Mike Williams, Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter will be the top three wideouts for Justin Herbert (ribs) against the Texans. Allen left practice early Thursday and didn't practice Friday which isn't a great sign for his availability in Week 5.

Bears rule out David Montgomery
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 30 2022, 3:05 pm
|
Bears ruled out David Montgomery (ankle), and Khalil Herbert to start for Chicago coming off big game against Texans. (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Montgomery missed practice all week and has now been ruled out, meaning we'll get Herbert in a starting role against the Giants. He should see the bulk of carries after his 20-157-2, 2-12-0 line last week against Houston making him an easy RB2 with RB1 upside in all leagues.

Dalvin Cook removed from injury report, will play
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 30 2022, 12:04 pm
|
O’Connell said he feels good about where Dalvin Cook is at. Cook is not listed on the #Vikings’ final injury report, indicating he’ll be ready to go on Sunday. (Ben Goessling on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Cook has a long history of shoulder issues, dislocating it multiple times throughout his career. He's expected to wear a brace and play against the Saints in London. Whether or not he gets his typical workload remains to be seen but it should be taken as a positive that he is off the injury report.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, D'Andre Swift, not expected to play
Ankle injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 30 2022, 11:15 am
|
The Detroit Lions are expected to be without their leading receiver and leading rusher when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Ford Field.
Receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back D’Andre Swift are all-but-officially ruled out because of ankle injuries, while Swift is also tending to a sprained shoulder. (MLive.com)
FFToday's Take: The Lions will be testing their depth when they take on the Seahawks in Week 4. Jamaal Williams is expected to get the start at running back and we should see a little bit of Craig Reynolds sprinkled in. D.J. Chark (ankle) and Josh Reynolds should be the main targets on the outside and we could see a little more work for TE T.J. Hockenson this week.

Michael Thomas Out, Jameis Winston listed as Doubtful
Andy Dalton likely to get the start
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 30 2022, 9:37 am
|
Saints’ HC Dennis Allen told reporters that WR Michael Thomas is out Sunday vs. the Vikings. Saints also believe it’s doubtful that Jameis Winston, who didn’t practice today for a third straight day, will play Sunday, which makes it likely that QB Andy Dalton will start vs. the Vikings. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Thomas is dealing with a foot injury and didn't practice all week. His absence should create more room for Alvin Kamara to get involved in the pass game. Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry are both fantasy viable in their matchup against the Vikings in London. Dalton is likely to get the start at quarterback and makes for viable QB2 option.

Panthers optimistic on Christian McCaffrey's status
Hope he will practice tomorrow
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 29 2022, 5:03 pm
|
As @RapSheet said, Panthers are optimistic about Christian McCaffrey‘s status. The hope is he’ll practice tomorrow after rehabbing quad injury all week. (Joe Person on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: "Hope" isn't a great word to hear in this situation but we'll likely get a good handle on McCaffrey's true status after practice on Friday. If McCaffrey were to miss this week, it's likely you'd see some form of committee at running back between D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, D'Andre Swift miss practice Thursday
Ankle injury for ASB
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 29 2022, 4:03 pm
|
#Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and RB D'Andre Swift (ankle+ shoulder) missed practice for a second straight day. Pro Bowl G Jonah Jackson (finger), WR D.J. Chark (ankle) and K Austin Seibert (groin) also were out. (Ari Meirov on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: We're expecting Swift to miss this week based on comments by head coach Dan Campbell earlier in the week. The Lions are dealing with multiple injuries at wide receiver and could be depleted at the position in their matchup against the Seahawks. Josh Reynolds may have some Flex value if ASB sits.
|

Tua Tagovailoa expected to play Week 4
Back, ankle injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 29 2022, 6:50 am
|
#Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa - listed as questionable with back and ankle issues - is expected to play tonight against the #Bengals, barring a setback, per sources.
WR Jaylen Waddle (groin) and LT Terron Armstead (toe) should be good to go, too. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Tua looked a little wobbly after slamming his head on the ground in last weeks game against the Bills. Sounds like he's going to give it a go on Thursday night football against the Bengals. Cincinnati has given up the fourth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks through three weeks.

Christian McCaffrey misses practice Wednesday
Quad injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 28 2022, 2:48 pm
|
Matt Rhule said it's a quad injury for Christian McCaffrey. Didn't know about it until after Saints' game. Wouldn't speculate on his status for this week. (Joe Person on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: McCaffrey did some rehab work on Wednesday. At this point it doesn't appear to be anything serious but we'll have a better idea after practice tomorrow.

Cards hopeful on Rondale Moore, A.J. Green doubtful
Hamstring injury for Moore
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 28 2022, 1:09 pm
|
Kingsbury said he is hopeful that WR Rondale Moore can give the Cardinals something Sunday, although it may be limited given how much time he has been out.
Kliff said WR A.J. Green is doubtful to play this week with the knee injury. (Darren Urban on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Moore has been battling a hamstring injury and has yet to play this season. It sounds like he's going to give it a go this week but may be limited. The passing offense should continue to flow through Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and TE Zach Ertz in Week 4.

David Montgomery to be OK for Week 4?
Suffered lower leg injury in Week 3
By: Doug Orth | Sep 27 2022, 11:55 pm
|
David Montgomery is going to be day to day according to Matt Eberflus. He said there are a “couple things going on” with his lower leg injury but said he’s “good” right now. (ESPN - Courtney Cronin)
FFToday's Take: There is some belief that Montgomery is dealing with an ankle injury. It would seem HC Matt Eberflus is of the opinion he will be able to go this weekend against the Giants. Either way, one would think Khalil Herbert earned the right to prove himself as a 1B back in this offense as opposed to a traditional backup with his Week 3 effort. Even if Montgomery is active in Week 4, fantasy managers in deeper leagues can make a case to play both.

Sterling Shepard out for the season, ACL injury
Giants wide receiver room is a mess
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 27 2022, 12:09 pm
|
Giants’ HC Brian Daboll told reporters that WR Sterling Shepard did in fact tear his ACL. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Giants wide receiver situation is a mess and a situation to avoid for fantasy owners. Snap shares from Week 3 include Richie James (74%), David Sills (63%), Kenny Golladay (33%) and Darius Slayton (19%). It's difficult to tell what the usage will be now that Shepard is out for the season. Expect to see Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) in the near future.

Tua avoids concussion protocol after Week 3
QB nursing back injury ahead of Thursday tilt vs. CIN
By: Doug Orth | Sep 26 2022, 11:30 pm
|
Tua Tagovailoa is not in concussion protocol, Mike McDaniel said. (Miami Herald - Daniel Oyefusi)
FFToday's Take: Tagovailoa looked groggy after his helmet clearly hit the ground right before the two-minute warning in the first half. Miami is calling it a back injury. It is unclear at the moment if he will go in Week 4 on such short notice, but it helps his prospects that he finished the Dolphins' upset of the Bills. Tagovailoa should be viewed as a solid QB2 option for now. If Miami rules out Tua before Thursday, then Teddy Bridgewater would be a solid QB2 option in two-quarterback or superflex leagues.

Dalvin Cook day-to-day?
Suffered another dislocated shoulder in Week 3
By: Doug Orth | Sep 26 2022, 8:00 pm
|
Vikings’ HC Kevin O'Connell said RB Dalvin Cook is day-to-day with his shoulder injury. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: This is at least the fourth significant shoulder injury Cook has suffered in his NFL career. According to head coach Kevin O'Connell, the expectation is that Cook will wear a brace or harness and play in Week 4 against the Saints in London. The good news is that the game will be played on Sunday morning, so managers will have the opportunity to pivot if necessary. While it is possible fantasy managers will see a little bit more of Alexander Mattison than usual, it appears as if Cook can be started in fantasy leagues.

|
D'Andre Swift expected to miss some time, shoulder injury
Jamaal Williams scored twice in Week 3
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 26 2022, 2:21 pm
|
Dan Campbell said D'Andre Swift could miss time with his shoulder injury, might benefit from having time off and healing up for after the bye. (Dave Birkett on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It sounds like Swift is going to miss some time leaving Jamaal Williams and Craig Reynolds to handle running back duties for the Lions. Detroit has a bye in Week 6, giving Swift a target of Week 7 (@DAL) as a return.
|
|
 |
Zach Wilson expected back for Week 4
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 26 2022, 7:00 am
|
After sitting out three games with a knee injury, New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is poised to return next Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"I'm expecting [him back], but until the doctors say so, I'm just going to say he's being evaluated," coach Robert Saleh said. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: In Wilson's absence, Joe Flacco has finished as the QB20, QB5 and QB24 the last three weeks. Flacco has averaged 51 pass attempts in three games as the team continues to play from behind. The Jets upcoming schedule includes @PIT, MIA and @GB.

Josh Jacobs a gametime decision
Flew separately to Nashville to due illness
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 25 2022, 9:16 am
|
Raiders’ RB Josh Jacobs, who flew separately from the team to Tennessee due to an illness and is listed as questionable for today, will work out in pregame warmups to determine his availability. There is optimism he will be ready to play, but no decision until pregame warmups. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It sounds like Jacobs is leaning towards playing, but if he is ultimately ruled out, the Raiders are likely to go with some king of committee with Brandon Bolden, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah all taking part.
|
|
|
Jakobi Meyers not expected to play
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 25 2022, 8:57 am
|
Patriots’ WR Jakobi Meyers, listed as questionable today due to a knee injury, is not expected to play vs. the Ravens, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Meyers missed practice time this week and will sit this one out against Baltimore. Perhaps DeVante Parker will see and increased role after posting a 1-9-0 line on 4 targets through two games. Nelson Agholor (6-110-1 last week) and Kendrick Bourne should round out the three wide receiver sets for New England.

Justin Herbert remains a gametime decision
May take pain-killing injection
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 25 2022, 8:15 am
|
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to make a decision during pregame warm-ups on Sunday about whether to take a pain-killing injection in his fractured rib cartilage to try and play against the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Herbert wants to play, a source told Schefter, but, there was growing skepticism about his status going into the weekend. The decision to play has bounced back and forth throughout the week, Schefter reports. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: This sounds like Herbert is truly a 50-50 call and puts fantasy owners in a bind considering the Chargers and Jaguars don't play until late-afternoon. Keenan Allen is in the same boat with his hamstring injury. He's listed as a gametime decision and can't be trusted even if he does play.

 |
Randall Cobb in, Christian Watson unlikely to play
Hamstring injury for Watson
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 25 2022, 7:30 am
|
Packers’ WR Randall Cobb, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an illness, is likely to play vs. the Buccaneers; however rookie WR Christian Watson, listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury, is unlikely to play, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: With Sammy Watkins already ruled out, the Packers are looking at three wide receiver sets of Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb. The matchup isn't great against Tampa Bay but Doubs is becoming a cheap WR option in DFS.
|
|
|
Jerry Jeudy on track to play Sunday night
Rib injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 25 2022, 7:00 am
|
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy, listed as questionable for Sunday night due to a rib and shoulder injury, is on track to play vs. 49ers but wants to see how it feels in pre-game warmups, per source. Broncos CB Patrick Surtain, questionable due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Sounds like Jeudy will be out there against the 49ers but with Denver not playing until Sunday night we won't know for sure until later this evening. He was limited in practice on Friday making a shaky WR3 play in Week 3.
|
|
 |
J.K. Dobbins expected to play in Week 3
Missed weeks 1 and 2
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 24 2022, 6:28 pm
|
Ravens’ RB J.K. Dobbins, who tore his ACL, LCL, meniscus and hamstring last year and is questionable for Sunday, is expected to make his 2022 regular-season debut vs. the Patriots, per source. “It’s time,” as one source said. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Ravens' run game outside of Lamar Jackson has been putrid to start the season with no running back to rush for more than 31 yards in the first two weeks. We certainly can't expect Dobbins to carry a full workload his first game back but it's a step in the right direction for his fantasy value this season.
|

Josh Jacobs not traveling with team to Nashville
Illness, listed as Questionable
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 23 2022, 5:24 pm
|
Also, while RB Josh Jacobs (illness) is officially QUESTIONABLE, he is not traveling with the #Raiders to Nashville today. Linebacker Denzel Perryman and receiver Hunter Renfrow were both ruled OUT by the Raiders for Sunday's game at the Titans. (Paul Gutierrez on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Jacobs may fly on his own this weekend if the Raiders want him to play but this obviously a situation worth monitoring closely. Jacobs has missed the last two days of practice due to an illness. If Jacobs were to miss, we're likely to see some combo of Brandon Bolden, Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White - none of which can be counted on in fantasy lineups.
|
|
|
Just Herbert, Keenan Allen listed as Questionable
Gametime decisions
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 23 2022, 4:29 pm
|
WR Keenan Allen (hamstring), RT Trey Pipkins (ankle) and TE Donald Parham (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday along with Justin Herbert. CB J.C. Jackson (ankle) and C Corey Linsley (knee) are doubtful. Chase Daniel will start if Justin Herbert can’t go, Brandon Staley said. (Daniel Popper on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The total on the Charges-Jaguars as dropped from LAC -7 earlier today to LAC -3.0 indicating Vegas doesn't think Herbert is going to play. They will put Herbert through a workout on Sunday before determining his status. Allen is also questionable to play after sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 1.

Chris Godwin Out, Gage misses practice Friday
Bucs dealing with multiple WR injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 23 2022, 4:12 pm
|
Bucs WR Chris Godwin (hamstring) and DT Akiem Hicks (foot) are out. LT Donovan Smith (elbow) TE Cade Otton (personal reasons) is doubtful. WR Russell Gage (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is questionable. RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) was limited and questionable. (Rick Stroud on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: With Godwin Out, Mike Evans suspended and Gage, Julio Jones and Breshad Perriman all listed as Questionable the Bucs are struggling for healthy quality receivers. Cole Beasley would have to be elevated from the practice squad on Saturday in order to play. Julio is shaping up to be a gametime decision and can't be trusted even if he does play. Perriman and Scotty Miller may get the most targets on Sunday.
|
|
|
Sammy Watkins Out for Week 3
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 23 2022, 4:12 pm
|
Sammy Watkins will not have an encore this week to his 3 catches, 93 yards. He has been ruled out vs. Bucs because of his hamstring injury. David Bakhtiari is questionable for 3rd straight week. Randall Cobb (illness), Christian Watson (hamstring), Marcedes Lewis (groin) also questionable. Mason Crosby (illness) was dropped from injury report.
Elgton Jenkins also dropped from injury report. He’s in good shape. (Ryan Wood on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The good news is Alan Lazard (ankle) did practice on Friday and is expected to play although the matchup isn't great against a Bucs secondary only allowed 1 TD to the wide receiver position in two games. We could see increased usage for Romeo Doubs this week.
|
|
 |
Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce expected to play Wk3
Pierce cleared the concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 23 2022, 2:09 pm
|
Reich on Michael Pittman Jr.: "He's ready to go." Reich confirms Alec Pierce cleared the concussion protocol last night. #Colts (George Bremer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Both Colts' wide receivers missed last week but expect to be on the field for their matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday. Pittman can be considered a solid WR2 option as the team attempts to put their faceplant against Jacksonville behind them.
|
|
|
Julio Jones due back in Week 4
WR dealing with partially torn PCL
By: Doug Orth | Sep 22 2022, 8:10 pm
|
The Bucs will have Mike Evans back from suspension this week. Todd Bowles said he expects Julio Jones to return too. (ESPN - Jenna Laine)
FFToday's Take: The Buccaneers desperately need their receivers back after feeding a total of 34 targets to Russell Gage, Cameron Brate, Breshad Perriman, Jaelon Darden, Kyle Rudolph, Cole Beasley and Scotty Miller in Week 3. Tampa Bay faces the Chiefs in the Sunday night game in Week 4 against a defense that has given up at least 13 fantasy points to two receivers in two of three games. Assuming Jones practice at some point this week, he should be considered a solid WR3/flex option in most leagues.

Jakobi Meyers misses practice Thursday
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 22 2022, 4:48 pm
|
Patriots' injury report remains the same as Wednesday, with one exception: Starting CB Jalen Mills (hamstring) was limited on Thursday. DID NOT PARTICIPATE: S Kyle Dugger (knee), WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) (Mike Reiss on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Meyers missed practice on Wednesday as well. The Patriots are typically tight lipped about injuries and this case is no exception. We'll have a better idea of his true status after practice on Friday. New England faces Baltimore in the early window on Sunday.
