ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) "would like to try and play, but it's not certain he will." Allen was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but sidelined on Friday. Between his hamstring injury and QB Justin Herbert's rib issue, Allen is a risky Week 3 fantasy option. We won't get the Chargers' inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ribs) is a game-time decision for today's meeting with the Jaguars. Per Schefter, Herbert will decide during pre-game warmups whether to take a pain-killing injection in his fractured rib cartilage. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds that Herbert "was looking doubtful as of Friday ... but he's pushing hard to go now." And NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Herbert "threw some yesterday and felt better but not all the way there." This is a 4:05 pm ET kickoff, so we might not know Herbert's status until a little after 2:30. If you're hoping to use him, you need to have another late-game QB rostered. QB Chase Daniel will get the start for the Chargers if Herbert can't play.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is a game-time decision for today's meeting with the Packers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears the same and adds, "there is less optimism" about Jones' chances of playing than teammates Russell Gage and Breshad Perriman. We won't get Tampa Bay's inactives until around 3 pm ET today -- and Jones will be a high-risk fantasy option if he ends up playing.
Bucs WRs Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) are expected to play vs. the Packers today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gage didn't practice on Friday after limited workouts on Wednesday and Thursday, but it looks like that was a planned day off. Perriman got in 3 limited practices after playing through this knee issue last week.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Bucs RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Packers today. Fournette was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. But he was in the same spot last week before playing 87% of the snaps and handling 24 carries and 4 targets. He's safe to get into Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Packers WR Randall Cobb (illness) is "likely" to play vs. the Bucs today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. But WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is not expected to play. With WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) on IR, Green Bay will roll out Allen Lazard, Cobb, Romeo Doubs and Juwann Winfree as its top 4 WRs. Look for another RB-centric game plan from the Packers today.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) is still expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's seemingly been the expectation all along. Davis remained limited in practice all week, though, so it's safe to assume that he won't be at 100% today.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is “on track to play” Sunday against the 49ers, though he wants to see how his rib and shoulder injuries feel in pregame warmups, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Questionable with an ankle sprain, Cardinals RB James Conner “will test it pre-game but is tracking to play,” according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. We’ll watch for more on Conner’s status. The late-afternoon kick still makes him a risky start, unless you have an insurance option also beyond the 1 p.m. ET games
The Saints expect RB Alvin Kamara (rib) to play Sunday against the Panthers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Officially questionable, Kamara took part in practice all 3 days. We’d plan to use him, assuming he is active
ESPN’s Todd Archer reports that “signs point toward” Cowboys WR Michael Gallup making his season debut Monday night against the Giants. “It won't be a full allotment of snaps but it could be enough to impact the game,” he says. We wouldn’t plan to put Gallup in fantasy football lineups yet
Giants EDGE players Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are questionable for Monday night’s game against the Cowboys. Both told ESPN’s Jordan Ranaan that they expect to play in what would be the 1st game this year for each
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Bills S Jordan Poyer (foot) is not expected to play Sunday against the Dolphins. That would leave Buffalo without both starting safeties and CB Dane Jackson. That’s rough for a matchup with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the Patriots, according to multiple reports. We’d hold off on using Dobbins in fantasy football lineups right away, as we have yet to see just how much work he’ll get. But we wouldn’t be surprised to see him quickly work his way to the front of an otherwise weak backfield.
Cowboys multi-use weapon Micah Parsons is questionable for Monday night’s game against the Giants because of an illness. He missed the 1st days of practice but returned for limited participation Saturday. Parsons is worth waiting for if you can secure an insurance option. LBs Leighton Vander Esch and Tae Crowder stand as the top 2 replacements for IDP lineups
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is questionable for Monday night’s game against the Giants. The late kickoff and nature of the injury mean you shouldn’t wait for Schultz in Week 3 fantasy football lineups. Rookie Jake Ferguson would likely be the primary TE if Schultz sits
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that Raiders RB Josh Jacobs did travel to Tennessee on Saturday but remains questionable for Sunday’s game. This is obviously a positive development for Jacobs, but we’ll have to see about his status Sunday
Giants DL Leonard Williams (knee) is doubtful for Monday night. His absence can only be good news for Dallas' RBs.
Giants WR Kadarius Toney is doubtful for Monday night's game against the Cowboys with a hamstring injury. That plus WR Wan'Dale Robinson's absence figure to keep David Sills and Sterling Shepard leading a WR corps with plenty of other remaining questions.
The Giants have ruled WR Wan'Dale Robinson out for Monday night's game against the Cowboys with the knee injury he suffered in Week 1.
