Rams | Terrance Ferguson to IR, Parkinson questionable, Klare likely to make NFL debut Fri Oct 2, 06:01 PM
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson was placed on injured reserve on Friday after leaving Week 3's loss to the Broncos with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson is third on the team with 12 targets, catching seven passes for 63 yards and a touchdown. TE Colby Parkinson has not practiced this week and is questionable for Sunday's game at the Eagles. Rookie TE Max Klare, a healthy scratch every week so far, is probably going to make his NFL debut in the wake of the injuries at tight end. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert (knee) ruled out for Sunday vs. Rams Fri Oct 2, 04:02 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams. Goedert did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Goedert was expected to miss a few weeks with the sprained MCL he suffered in Week 2. The team brought in Zach Ertz, and he was immediately active in Week 3. Ertz is coming off a season-ending ACL tear, but his cerebral game and knack for finding soft spots in coverage helped him get involved immediately. With DeVonta Smith also out this week, Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon will lead the receiver room. With many of their passing options down, expect the Eagles to lean heavily on Saquon Barkley in this matchup against the Rams. |

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq (back), Kingsley Enagbare (knee) questionable for Sunday Fri Oct 2, 04:00 PM
Jets rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq (back) is questionable for Sunday's Week 4 game at the Bears. Sadiq was limited in Wednesday's practice. DE Kingsley Enagbare (knee) is also questionable for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq has been limited all week with this back injury. After already dealing with a handful of injuries since the start of training camp, there's some concern. But Sadiq proved just last week that he can be dominant regardless of his health. The Jets selected Sadiq 16th overall, and the athleticism that made him a premium pick has been on full display early. He's likely to be active this week and, if so, high up in the streaming discussion. If he's unexpectedly inactive, he plays early enough that managers can pivot. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers limited Friday but 'good to go' for Sunday vs. Chiefs Fri Oct 2, 03:22 PM
Raiders TE Brock Bowers was limited in practice on Friday but is good to go for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Bowers, who had been dealing with a knee injury, made his season debut last Sunday at the Saints, catching 10 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy managers who drafted Bowers only for him to have knee surgery the day before the season kicked off are probably panicking seeing the "Q" next to his name on their fantasy platforms, but this sounds like a case of managed practice reps. Bowers was dominant in his Week 3 debut, catching 10 of 14 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. If he's active (and he should be), you're starting him. It's that simple. |

Chargers | Charlie Kolar (forearm) back at practice Friday Fri Oct 2, 03:17 PM
Chargers TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) returned to practice on Friday. Kolar did not practice on Wednesday. The Chargers visit the Seahawks on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: After it was initially reported that Charlie Kolar would go on IR, the team never placed him there, hinting that he would likely return in less than four weeks. Kolar missed Week 3's game, but is already back at practice. His Week 4 availability is still very much in question. There was some hope that Oronde Gadsden could seize an opportunity with Kolar and David Njoku out, but that didn't happen last week. He may have another chance this weekend if Kolar can't go, but nothing from last week suggests he's a viable start this week. This Chargers tight end room is one to avoid in fantasy. |

Rams | Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) won't practice Friday, questionable vs. Eagles Fri Oct 2, 03:12 PM
Rams TE Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) will not practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, head coach Sean McVay said. Parkinson also sat out practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Parkinson hasn't practiced all week, which would typically lead to an inactive status. With Terrance Ferguson also expected to be out, the Rams are likely to be down their top two tight ends. Last week, as the primary tight end, Tyler Higbee caught eight of his 11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. If Parkinson and Ferguson are both out, Higbee moves firmly into the streaming discussion. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield ruled out vs. Packers, Bucky Irving will play Fri Oct 2, 12:28 PM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers. DE Rueben Bain Jr., CB Benjamin Morrison and TE Ko Kieft have also been ruled out. RB Bucky Irving, DE Yaya Diaby and LB Josiah Trotter will play.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield is expected to miss at least two weeks, and possibly more, as he manages his recovery from last week's dislocated thumb. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will make his first-ever start against the Packers this week. Given the uncertainty at quarterback, all of the Buccaneers' pass catchers should be docked slightly. Irving practiced every day this week and can be fired up as a high-end RB2. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving (glute) working Friday, 'didn't seem to have any issues' Fri Oct 2, 11:13 AM
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (glute) was working at Friday's practice and "didn't seem to have any issues."
| Footballguys view: Irving has been limited throughout this week with a glute injury, but it's relieving to hear an optimistic report. Irving is PPR's RB15 through the first three weeks. If he's starting, get him in your lineup as a high-end RB2. |

Jets | Breece Hall, Adonai Mitchell, Mason Taylor ruled out for Sunday vs. Bears Fri Oct 2, 10:46 AM
Jets RB Breece Hall, WR Adonai Mitchell and TE Mason Taylor have been ruled out for Sunday's Week 4 game at the Bears. LG Dylan Parham and LB Kiko Mauigoa are also out. Hall, Mitchell and Taylor all missed practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Hall is managing a quad injury, Mitchell a finger, and Taylor a thumb. Their absences most directly benefit Braelon Allen and Kenyon Sadiq. Allen should be the team's primary running back, and Sadiq will have a chance to build on a huge Week 3. Allen is a high-end RB2, and Sadiq lands near the top of the tight-end streaming tier. In what could be a shootout against the Bears, get both in your lineups where you have them. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels ruled out, Mariota to start; Okonkwo will play Fri Oct 2, 09:40 AM
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts in London, head coach Dan Quinn said on Friday. Quinn also said TE Chig Okonkwo and LB Frankie Luvu, who have each missed the last two games, will play against the Colts.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here that Daniels won't play after sustaining a dislocated elbow in Week 2. Daniels was practicing this week with an elbow brace and could return as soon as next week. The first time he dislocated his elbow last season, he missed three games plus a bye. That same timeline would push his return back a few more weeks, but he seems motivated to return sooner this time. Marcus Mariota has been formidable in Daniels' absence and makes for a strong QB2 in Week 4 against the Colts. Once Daniels returns, he'll be back in the QB1 discussion. But the high risk of reinjury will make him an anxiety-inducing start. |

Rams | McVay: Ferguson likely out 'certainly' opens door for Max Klare snaps vs. Eagles Wed Sep 30, 05:24 PM
Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday that TE Terrance Ferguson being unlikely to play Sunday against the Eagles opens the door for rookie TE Max Klare to see more snaps. "It certainly does," McVay said. "Obviously being able to play with multiple tight ends has become a big part of our identity, and so it absolutely does."
| Footballguys view: The rookie second-round pick is a seam-ripper who can make plays with the ball in his hands. He's capable of lining up in the slot, in-line, or out wide -- something McVay should use to his advantage. We love the rookie in dynasty formats, and we'll see if he can get enough work to be fantasy relevant for GMs in redraft leagues. |

Jets | Sadiq, Ruckert work in rehab area, both 'limited' Wednesday Wed Sep 30, 01:37 PM

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq limited at Wednesday practice Wed Sep 30, 12:27 PM
Jets rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq was limited at practice on Wednesday. The Jets visit the Bears on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Sadiq can get out there by Friday at the latest. He exploded last week for 105 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Lions. With Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor perhaps out of action on Sunday, Sadiq should produce like a low-end TE1 for Fantasy GMs. |

Breece Hall, Mason Taylor, Adonai Mitchell all 'week to week', miss Wednesday practice Wed Sep 30, 12:10 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall, TE Mason Taylor, WR Adonai Mitchell, LB Kiko Mauigoa and G Dylan Parham did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Aaron Glenn said all five are "week to week." Glenn added there is a "good chance" S Minkah Fitzpatrick plays Sunday against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Braelon Allen would be the top back for the Jets if Hall is out against the Bears on Sunday. We like Allen as a runner, and Fantasy GMs should consider him an RB2 option if he gets the starting nod. Mitchell was out of action in Week 3, and a missed practice on Wednesday means he may not yet be ready to return. Let's see if he can get out there later in the week. Garrett Wilson and Kenyon Sadiq would do more if Mitchell has to miss another game. |

Bengals | TE Tanner Hudson signed to active roster Tue Sep 29, 03:46 PM
Bengals TE Tanner Hudson was signed to the active roster off the team's practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Hudson has played in two games this year, and he has three catches for 17 yards. He played in 38 games for the team over the past three seasons. He provides depth at a position the Bengals don't rely on heavily. |

Rams | Ferguson unlikely to play Week 4; Parkinson's status uncertain Tue Sep 29, 01:25 AM
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) is probably out for Sunday's game at the Eagles, head coach Sean McVay said on Monday. McVay said TE Colby Parkinson (shoulder) is to be determined for the game.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, losing Ferguson is big, but not having Parkinson too would deplete the Rams' deep tight end room. Ferguson has seven receptions for 63 yards and one touchdown this year. He had just one catch for 9 yards in Week 3. Parkinson, after his breakout 2025 campaign, only has three receptions for 21 scoreless yards this year. Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen are the next men up in the Rams' tight end rotation. Higbee had his best game of the year in Week 3 with eight receptions on 11 targets for 62 yards and one touchdown. |

Vikings | Josh Oliver believed to have torn biceps, could be out indefinitely Mon Sep 28, 08:31 AM
Vikings TE Josh Oliver is believed to have a torn biceps after leaving Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported. Oliver will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis and would be out indefinitely if testing shows a tear.
| Footballguys view: Oliver played more than half the team's offensive snaps during the 3-0 start and had three catches for 46 yards in the first two games, with no catches in Tampa. TE T.J. Hockenson is the lead tight end, and Gavin Bartholomew is the only other tight end on the 53-man roster. |

Rams | Higbee catches 8 passes for 62 yards, a touchdown in loss to Broncos Mon Sep 28, 12:01 AM
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee caught 8 passes for 62 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 1.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.2.

Rams | Ferguson held to 1 catch for 9 yards in loss to Broncos Mon Sep 28, 12:01 AM
Los Angeles Rams TE Terrance Ferguson caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson missed some time after injuring his ankle in the first quarter. He had been deemed questionable to return after heading to the locker room in the first quarter. He was X-rayed, and apparently the results were negative. Ferguson returned to action, but failed to make an impact. He'll continue to be an interesting streaming option -- at least until he demonstrates the kind of consistency that will make him a front-line fantasy asset. |

Saints | Johnson catches 8 passes for 53 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Raiders Sun Sep 27, 07:47 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught 8 passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns on 8 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 8.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.3.

Raiders | Bowers catches 10 passes for 116 yards, a touchdown in win over Saints Sun Sep 27, 07:47 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 10 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Sunday's 35-27 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.6.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders had managed to win their first two games without Bowers, but he was a difference-maker right from the start in his season debut. His seven catches for 87 yards in the first half helped fuel four scoring drives, giving Kirk Cousins a dependable connection and the Saints another problem to solve. And he kept adding to that production, showing how valuable his presence can be to an offense still discovering its potential. The Raiders play the Chiefs in Week 4. |

49ers | Kittle catches 6 passes for 82 yards, two touchdowns in win over Cardinals Sun Sep 27, 07:31 PM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle caught 6 passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 36-30 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 11.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.2.
| Footballguys view: Just another day at the office for Kittle, who tore his Achilles only nine months ago. With Mike Evans hurt, the 49ers will need more from Kittle as a receiver, but with Trent Williams hurt, they will need more from him as a blocker. Either way, they need him, and you should be feeling great if you took Kittle despite the uncertainty about his Achilles during the offseason. |

Giants | Likely held to 2 catches for 13 yards in win over Titans Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 2 passes for 13 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.3.
| Footballguys view: Likely started out the season two scores and the look of a player who would be one of the best picks this at his position. Since then, the Giants lost Jaxson Dart and the passing game has been poor with Jameis Winston at the helm. Likely is still a good fantasy play against the Cardinals, who just gave up two scores to George Kittle in Week 3. |

Bills | Kincaid held to 2 catches for 38 yards in win over Chargers Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 2 passes for 38 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 12.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.8.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid's push to be the top fantasy tight end this season ran into a brick wall against the Chargers. He fumbled on his long gain of the day and was otherwise a nonfactor. He is still a strong TE1 against the Patriots next week as this whole game seemed like an aberration for the Bills offense. |

Chargers | Gadsden held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Bills Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 8.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden was a dud even though he is the only healthy Chargers tight end. He can be dropped if you picked him up as a what-the-heck tight end for Week 3. |
Oronde Gadsden player page
Jets | Sadiq catches 7 passes for 105 yards, a touchdown in loss to Lions Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq caught 7 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 6.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq made a diving touchdown catch to open the scoring, and though he left the game briefly with an undisclosed injury, the rookie was a big part of the passing game for the rest of the contest with No.2 receiver Adonai Mitchell out with a finger injury for this game. Sadiq will be a hot waiver-wire pickup this week heading into a matchup with the Bears. |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. scores second TD, 14-yarder from Watson gives Browns late lead Sun Sep 27, 04:09 PM
Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from QB Deshaun Watson, giving Cleveland a 19-18 lead over the Panthers with 1:48 left on Sunday. Watson extended the play before finding Fannin. It was Fannin's second touchdown of the game after he caught a 2-yard score from Watson in the first half. He finished with seven catches for 51 yards on the day.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was an afterthought in an embarrassing Week 1 loss at Jacksonville, but he came alive for five catches last week and made the two biggest plays of the day for the Browns offense. He's back to being an every week fantasy TE1 going into a Thursday night game against Pittsburgh. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs scores three TDs in win over Jets Sun Sep 27, 04:05 PM
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs scored three touchdowns, two rushing and the go-ahead score with 2:25 left, and finished with 164 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets, giving him six touchdowns through three weeks.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs got the offense jumpstarted after early struggles with a long catch and run, and he was inevitable as the force that finished drives with touchdowns in the second half to help the Lions eke out another nerve-wracking home victory. The Lions offense hasn't been a dangerous downfield passing unit, but that hasn't stopped Gibbs from exceeding even the highest expectations through three weeks. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers (knee) expected to make season debut at Saints Sun Sep 27, 10:13 AM
Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 3 game at the Saints, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. Bowers, who underwent a meniscus trim just days before the season, logged limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday before a planned rest day on Friday, per head coach Klint Kubiak. The Raiders also did not elevate TE Chris Myarick from the practice squad, as they had in each of the past two weeks with Bowers inactive. TE Michael Mayer started in Bowers' place in the first two games.

Broncos | Payton: Evan Engram blocking 'well' Sat Sep 26, 12:19 AM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Friday that TE Evan Engram is blocking "well," which is part of the reason his snap count is up.
| Footballguys view: Payton is right. Engram has done a much better job in that department this season, and it's leading to more playing time. In his first season with the Broncos, Engram was only on the field for around 40 percent of their snaps. This year, that number is pushing towards 60 percent of the snaps. The Broncos are using a tight end by committee with Engram, Nate Adkins, and Adam Trautman. That lessens the fantasy value for Engram even though he's clearly getting more involved. We like him as a TE2 with upside. |

Jets | Adonai Mitchell (finger) questionable vs. Lions after second limited practice Fri Sep 25, 04:21 PM
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) is questionable for Sunday's Week 3 game at the Lions after being limited in practice for the second straight day on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was unexpectedly added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant. He showed up on Friday with his hand heavily taped up. He reportedly had his finger caught in a jersey, and the extent of the injury is still uncertain. If the tape job we saw on Friday is any indication of his availability this week, it's hard to imagine Mitchell out there. If he can't play, Isaiah Williams could get some extra run against his former team, the Lions. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers (knee) questionable for Sunday, sat out Friday 'as planned' Fri Sep 25, 03:02 PM
Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Saints, head coach Klint Kubiak said on Friday. Bowers was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out as planned on Friday, according to Kubiak.
| Footballguys view: If there's one thing we've learned about Klint Kubiak in his young career as a head coach, it's that we cannot trust him. He's been optimistic about Bowers, but that must be taken with a grain of salt. Bowers returned to practice last week with a noticeable limp in his gait, and was ultimately inactive. He practiced in a limited fashion twice this week before missing Friday's practice. There's definitely a desire to elevate Bowers into lineups after missing him for the first few weeks, but the risk here is impossible to overlook, especially with a late kickoff. We'll hope for a positive report from Jay Glazer or Adam Schefter before the early games kick off, but Bowers is a huge risk without that. Fantasy managers with a good tight end might just want to play them early. Those without a strong secondary option should look on the waiver wire for Juwan Johnson, T.J. Hockenson, Mark Andrews, or Cade Otton as pivots with late kickoffs. |

Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Seahawks, GM Adam Peters said on Friday, September 25.
| Footballguys view: The initial expectation when Okonkwo left Week 1's game with a hamstring injury was that he would miss some time. He still hasn't returned to practice. Assume he's out this week. The passing game should funnel through Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. No other tight end on the roster can bring what Okonkwo does to the offense, so they'll game plan around their receivers. |

Jets | Mason Taylor (thumb) ruled out for Sunday against Detroit Fri Sep 25, 11:01 AM
Jets TE Mason Taylor (thumb) will not play on Sunday against the Lions, head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday, September 25.
| Footballguys view: Taylor had negative two yards in Week 1. He was active in Week 2, but played less than half the snaps and didn't draw a single target. Taylor dealt with some injuries as a rookie and is getting off to a slow start in Year 2. He's off the fantasy radar in redraft leagues, and isn't much more than a deep dynasty stash right now. |

Jets | Adonai Mitchell (finger) limited Thursday, Mason Taylor (thumb) out again Thu Sep 24, 05:07 PM
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant due to a finger injury, his first appearance on the injury report for any reason this season. Mitchell has nine catches for 123 yards through two weeks. TE Mason Taylor (thumb), RB Kene Nwangwu (back), S Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad) all missed practice for the second straight day, while LBs Joseph Ossai (foot) and David Bailey (elbow) remained limited. Injury designations for Sunday's game at Detroit will be revealed on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was a full participant on Wednesday, and now he's getting a limited designation. Against the Lions on Sunday, Mitchell would be a WR3/flex option if he plays in Week 3. Mitchell caught 6-of-12 tarhets for 63 yards in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Packers. |

Titans | Tony Pollard (ankle) practices Thursday, Tyjae Spears not spotted again Thu Sep 24, 03:47 PM
Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) practiced on Thursday, September 24, after sitting out Wednesday's session, as Tennessee prepares for Sunday's game at the New York Giants. RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) was not spotted at practice on Thursday. TE Daniel Bellinger was also not spotted at practice, while CB Cor'Dale Flott (quad), who missed last Sunday's game, practiced again and said he thinks he is trending in the right direction.
| Footballguys view: Both Pollard and Spears missed Wednesday's practice, so at least Pollard is back out there on Thursday. While Spears may miss the game against the Giants (check back Friday to be sure), Pollard is trending in the right direction. Pollard is an RB3/deep flex play for Fantasy GMs in Week 3. |

Bengals | Burrow 'sore' after Houston win as Iosivas heads to IR with torn thumb Wed Sep 23, 02:33 PM
Bengals.com reports that head coach Zac Taylor said Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow is sore after last Sunday's win in Houston and won't know his practice status until the team takes the field Wednesday afternoon. Taylor also confirmed that WR Andrei Iosivas is headed to injured reserve with torn thumb ligaments, saying, "It's a weeks' issue, not a season-long issue. It will definitely be the IR window, plus maybe a little bit more." Taylor said the team will replace Iosivas' production by committee, pointing to TE Mike Gesicki and the receiver room, while WR Ke'Shawn Williams, inactive the first two games, figures to be active against Pittsburgh. DT B.J. Hill (Achilles) is listed as wait-and-see after missing last Sunday's game.
| Footballguys view: The veteran quarterback played through a back issue in Week 2. Burrow completed 20-of-31 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns in Cincinnati's 20-6 Week 2 win over the Texans. He was sacked five times, and the Bengals might want to clean that up to keep their superstar quarterback upright. |

| Footballguys view: The Raiders have been working towards a Bowers return, and we're likely to get it in Week 3 against the Saints. Bowers hasn't played yet this year, but he should be featured in the Klint Kubiak offense. He's a clear-cut TE1 for Fantasy GMs when on the field. |

Jets | Mason Taylor 'week-to-week' with thumb injury, could miss Week 3 Wed Sep 23, 03:21 AM
The New York Jets placed three players on injured reserve on Tuesday and may also be without TE Mason Taylor for their Week 3 game against the Lions in Detroit. Taylor is reportedly considered week-to-week with a thumb injury.
| Footballguys view: Taylor was a "DNP" on Wednesday. While leading the Jets' tight ends in snaps, rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq is leading the team in targets at the position. If Taylor can't go, Sadiq becomes a better option for Fantasy GMs looking for some TE production. |

Rams | Ferguson's snap count suggests he's staking claim to TE1 role Wed Sep 23, 03:21 AM
Yahoo Sports' Rams snap count review notes that second-year TE Terrance Ferguson is emerging as the Los Angeles Rams' top tight end. Ferguson caught 6-of-9 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' Week 2 win over the Giants.
| Footballguys view: We saw Ferguson get more work for the Rams in Week 2 with WR Puka Nacua out of action. It's unclear whether or not Nacua will be able to play on Sunday night against the Broncos in Week 3. Ferguson could perform nicely, regardless of Nacua's status, due to the Broncos being historically weak against the tight end position. |

49ers | Shanahan: Robinson's high ankle sprain 'most likely an IR candidate' Tue Sep 22, 11:00 AM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday that WR Demarcus Robinson's high ankle sprain will 'most likely be an IR candidate,' noting such injuries typically require three to six weeks to heal.
| Footballguys view: Shanahan said that with Robinson potentially sidelined, wide receivers Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing and KhaDarel Hodge could take on larger roles in the offense. "Pretty much all our guys who are up, we always mix them in on offense, but as you lose starters, those guys have to be able to do more and more," Shanahan said. While that sounds good, it doesn't make them viable fantasy plays. Instead, it might give you more optimism about the front-line players here, like Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Mike Evans (if available this week). |
