Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. "Sounds like nothing major," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero tweeted. Lamb can stay penciled into Week 3 fantasy lineups for now. We'll let you know if he gets back on the practice field tomorrow.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. Miami could certainly use him with QB Skylar Thompson under center. We'll track Mostert's progress over the next few days.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hand) did not practice on Wednesday. We've seen nothing to suggest that he's in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins, but his status bears monitoring over the next few days.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Sunday that Seattle will take "extreme caution" with Walker and that he could be looking at a multi-week absence. We're projecting RB Zach Charbonnet to again be a workhorse back in this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He told reporters afterward that he'll play vs. the Packers this weekend, but we'll see about that. Spears did not return to last week's game after hurting his ankle. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he expects QB Justin Herbert (ankle) to play vs. the Steelers this weekend. Herbert did not practice on Wednesday but is "getting better every day," Harbaugh said.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He told ESPN's Lisa Salters that he expects to miss "a couple of weeks" with this hamstring injury, so fantasy owners should not be counting on him in Week 3 fantasy lineups. We'll let you know if Brown's prognosis improves.
Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. “Kind of still in that day-to-day world where we just have to see how he responds," HC Kevin O'Connell said. We'll see if Addison gets back on the field tomorrow, but fantasy owners should start preparing to be without him in Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Nico Collins did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with hip and foot issues. Collins seemed to make it out of Sunday night's win over the Bears OK, and insider Aaron Wilson reports that Collins is expected to play vs. the Vikings this weekend. He should stay penciled into Week 3 fantasy lineups for now.
Texans RBs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Mixon's injury reportedly isn't serious, but he shouldn't be considered a lock to play vs. the Vikings this weekend. "We’ll take it day-by-day with Joe and his injury and see where he ends up at the week," HC Demeco Ryan said. "Still holding out hope that he can make it.” If Mixon and Pierce both miss Sunday's game, RB Cam Akers would slide in as Houston's early-down back, with RB Dare Ogunbowale playing some passing downs.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Dennis Allen said Hill will hopefully be able to get in a limited practice on Thursday, which suggests he has a chance to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. We'll keep tabs on Hill's progress over the next few days.
Packers WR Jayden Reed (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this injury last week, so we're tentatively expecting him to be available for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. But Reed will only be a viable fantasy option if QB Jordan Love makes it back for that one.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He missed all three practices last week before winding up inactive for the Texans game. Allen's status for Sunday's game vs. the Colts is up in the air. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow.
Colts K Matt Gay (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. He missed the opener with a hernia but is now dealing with a quad injury. We'll keep you updated on his status for Sunday's game vs. the Bears, but fantasy owners might want to start making other plans at kicker for Week 3.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (quad) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's confirmation that he's in no danger of missing Week 3. St. Brown gets a juicy matchup against a Cardinals defense that's allowed the ninth most fantasy points to WRs through two weeks.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (calf, elbow) did not practice on Wednesday. He was dealing with a knee injury last week and now has two new issues. We'll keep tabs on Palmer's status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Steelers, but he shouldn't be in your Week 3 fantasy plans. Palmer's absence would mean more target opportunity for WRs Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.
Chargers QB Justin Herbert missed practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with an ankle. HC Jim Harbaugh said Monday that x-rays on the ankle came back clean but that Herbert was scheduled for "further evaluations." It's unclear what those revealed. Herbert played through this injury last week, so we're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Steelers on Sunday. But even a healthy Herbert would not be a QB1 option in that matchup.
Packers QB Jordan Love said Wednesday that he's "hopeful" to play vs. the Titans this weekend, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Love added that he's waiting to see how his injured knee progresses throughout the week.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid didn't give a firm timetable for RB Isiah Pacheco's return from his leg injury on Wednesday, but he said it could be "this season or next season," according to Arrowhead Pride's Pete Sweeney. That obviously suggests that Pacheco is not a lock to return this year. It's a bit surprising after Monday's report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Pacheco was expected to miss 6-8 weeks.
Colts WR Josh Downs expects to make his 2024 debut vs. the Bears this weekend, he said on Wednesday. Downs suffered his high-ankle sprain exactly six weeks ago, so he should be getting close to 100%. He practiced all last week, including a full workout on Friday.
