Packers | Jayden Reed to undergo season-ending neck surgery, placed on IR Wed Sep 30, 12:30 PM
Packers WR Jayden Reed will undergo season-ending neck surgery, head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Wednesday. Reed was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Green Bay went through a lengthy process with many evaluations and opinions and took a patient approach before deciding surgery was the best course of action for Reed.

Packers | Matt LaFleur says Jayden Reed's neck injury will end his season, not career-ending Wed Sep 30, 12:26 PM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday that WR Jayden Reed's neck injury will end his season. LaFleur added that the injury is not considered career-ending: "From my understanding, no. But he will be out a significant amount of time." Reed was placed on injured reserve with the neck injury earlier on Wednesday.

Jets | Breece Hall, Mason Taylor, AD 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 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. |

Panthers | WR David Moore signed to active roster from practice squad Wed Sep 30, 11:01 AM
Panthers WR David Moore signed to active roster from practice squad.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers have some banged up wide receivers, so that's why Moore gets the elevation. Panthers HC Dave Canales said WR Jalen Coker (who missed Wednesday's practice with a quad injury) is "more day-to-day" while WR Xavier Legette (knee) is week-to-week. |

Buccaneers | WR Jalen McMillan placed on injured reserve Wed Sep 30, 10:45 AM
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (knee) has been placed on injured reserve. ESPN lists an estimated return of November 22.
| Footballguys view: It's a PCL injury for McMillan, and he's expected to miss 6-8 weeks. McMillan has yet to play a full season in the NFL, and he's coming off a 2025 season where he missed all but four games. With zero catches this year in two games played, it's not like he's a big part of their offensive plan. |

WR Odell Beckham Jr. is being released by Giants Tue Sep 29, 01:16 PM
Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. is being released by New York after three games, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported.
| Footballguys view: Beckham was a nonfactor to this point, logging 20 snaps in three games after re-signing with the Giants this summer. The three-time Pro Bowler is second in Giants franchise history in receiving yards. The move left only three WRs on New York's 53-man roster -- Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields, and Darnell Mooney) --before the team signed WR/PR Braxton Berrios and WR Charlie Jones from their practice squad. |

Bengals | WR Mitchell Tinsley is signing with the Bengals Tue Sep 29, 12:16 PM
WR Mitchell Tinsley is signing to the Bengals' active roster off the Texans' practice squad, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: With Andrei Iosivas on IR and rookie Colbie Young suffering a knee injury against the Steelers this past Sunday, the Bengals need depth. Tinsley, whom the Bengals cut at the end of training camp, is an ideal addition after he played last season in Cincinnati and had eight catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals. |

Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown fine despite downtick in snaps Tue Sep 29, 01:38 AM
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown saw a slight downtick in snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets because of an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown, who played just 48 of a possible 65 snaps, left the field slowly several times. Head coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that St. Brown should be fine. "He just had a little something. I don't think it's a huge thing. Our guys today had him checked out," Campbell said. "You know, Saint, he doesn't want to get anything checked out. He's fine. You ask him, he's fine. So I think we'll be OK there." We'll be watching for more. |

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan has PCL sprain, early outlook is 6-8 weeks Tue Sep 29, 01:26 AM
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan has a PCL sprain in his left knee, the same injury he suffered during training camp, a source said on Monday. The early thinking is that he could miss 6-8 weeks, a timetable that factors in his previous injury. A second opinion will provide clarity on the timeline.
| Footballguys view: That timetable makes it likely McMillan will do a stint on injured reserve. Of course, with Baker Mayfield expected to miss three weeks with a dislocated thumb, and undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels set to start at QB, there's no reason to look beyond Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr. for now. |

Chicago Bears WR Kalif Raymond caught 6 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Monday's 27-7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 6.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.0.

49ers | Mike Evans considered 'day-to-day' with rib strain Mon Sep 28, 04:20 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans is considered day-to-day with a rib strain, reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Evans left Sunday's game against the Cardinals with the injury and underwent a full evaluation Monday. While rib strains can be painful, the pain can be managed in-game. We'll monitor Evans closely this week as the Niners prepare to take on the Broncos in Week 4. With receivers De'Zhaun Stribling, Demarcus Robinson, Christian Kirk, and Ricky Pearsall all on injured reserve, losing Evans for any meaningful period of time would cause significant issues for this offense. |

Rams | Puka Nacua 'increasingly unlikely' to return for Week 4 game at Eagles Mon Sep 28, 04:02 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua is increasingly unlikely to return from a hip and groin injury for the Week 4 game at the Eagles next Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Sean McVay acknowledged last week that Nacua was not progressing quickly, and reports have suggested the receiver would not require surgery, though it has not been ruled out entirely. The Rams offense struggled without Nacua in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. We'll continue to watch his progress -- or lack thereof -- closely. |

Ravens | Zay Flowers (hamstring) 'ready to push' for closer to full-time snaps Mon Sep 28, 03:33 PM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers is expected to see a bigger workload going forward after playing 21 snaps on Sunday against the Cowboys in his return from a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: "I think now he's coming out of this thing really ready to push to be back in there closer to full time," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said on Monday. Flowers caught five passes for 84 yards in the 34-31 win. We'll be watching for more this week as the Ravens prepare to take on the Titans in Week 4. Expect high-end WR2-to-WR1 production from a healthier Flowers. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson avoids long-term injury, has chance to play Week 4 Mon Sep 28, 03:32 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson avoided a long-term injury after spraining his ankle in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. Jefferson has a chance to play in Week 4 against the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: This would be a best-case outcome. And considering Jefferson attempted to re-enter the game before finally returning to the locker room, SI.com believes there's plenty of reason for optimism regarding his availability in a favorable matchup against Miami. The Dolphins' defense ranks 19th in pass defense and 26th in passing touchdowns allowed, presenting a potential must-start case for Jefferson if he returns, along with several other stars on Minnesota's offense. Jordan Addison will be ready to play a greater role if need be, but we'll be following Jefferson's progress all week. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker has 'minor' quad strain, considered questionable for Week 4 vs. Lions Mon Sep 28, 11:16 AM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker suffered a minor quad strain in Sunday's loss to the Browns and is considered questionable to play in Week 4 against the Lions, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday, per a source.
| Footballguys view: Coker played through an ankle injury that had him listed as questionable heading into the game, but it was the quad that ended his day in the third quarter. He finished with two catches for 18 yards. He has 18 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns on the season. We'll be monitoring his status as the Panthers prepare to play the Lions in Week 4. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo 'clearly RB1', Najee Harris takes over as RB2 in win over Titans Mon Sep 28, 09:18 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo was "clearly RB1" in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans and took over as the third-down back with RB Devin Singletary a healthy scratch, though he averaged 3 yards per carry and lost a fumble out of bounds, his second fumble in three games.
| Footballguys view: The Athletic's Dan Duggan added that RB Najee Harris "has quickly taken over as RB2" and ran nine times for 52 yards, while RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. was active because he is the only back who plays special teams. Meanwhile, Skattebo sits at RB19 in Dave Kluge's Rest of Season Rankings -- which is in line with his draft value. We'll see if Harris can cut further into his workload in the coming weeks. |

Browns | Raheim Sanders splits snaps 50/50 with Judkins, Jeudy at season-low 51% Mon Sep 28, 05:25 AM
Browns RB Raheim Sanders split snaps 50/50 with RB Quinshon Judkins in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
| Footballguys view: While Judkins' snap rate fell this week, Pro Football Focus's Nathan Jahnke believes it was likely because the Browns ran more plays in Week 3 than in the last two. His total number of snaps remained similar to the previous two weeks. Judkins remains an RB2 candidate heading into a Thursday night game against the Steelers in Week 4. Sanders, meanwhile, is worth rostering in deeper leagues. |

Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle ran 1 time for 14 yards and also caught 2 passes for 10 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 12.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.4.

Rams | Adams catches 7 passes for 137 yards in loss to Broncos Mon Sep 28, 12:01 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams caught 7 passes for 137 yards on 13 targets in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 17.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.2.
| Footballguys view: In the first half, Adams had four catches for 71 yards on five targets when matched up against Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II, a player he called "one of the best DBs in the league." The 71 yards allowed to Adams were the most Surtain has given up in a first half in his career, according to ESPN's Sarah Barshop. The Rams play the Eagles in Week 4. While Puka Nacua's status will be a factor at some point, Adams remains a high-end WR1 option for fantasy managers. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson 'got close' to returning, MRI on ankle expected Monday Sun Sep 27, 08:48 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson left Sunday's win over the Buccaneers in the first quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game that Jefferson "got close" to returning before being ruled out, and that he will be evaluated further on Monday.
| Footballguys view: NBC's Mike Florio reported that an MRI will be part of that evaluation and that the Vikings hope Jefferson is dealing with a low-ankle injury. Jefferson had two catches for 32 yards before exiting and has 13 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns on the season. |

49ers | Mike Evans dealing with rib strain, full evaluation set for Monday Sun Sep 27, 08:25 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans is dealing with a rib strain after leaving Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Evans left the game on a cart and was quickly ruled out. He will have a full evaluation on Monday, though rib strains "can be painful."
| Footballguys view: After the game, head coach Kyle Shanahan said that the team didn't know if it was a rib or oblique injury and that Evans would have further tests done on Monday. "We don't know yet," Shanahan said. "We couldn't tell if it was a broken rib; we couldn't tell if it was an oblique, so it's something we'll find out probably more tomorrow." Those tests will determine the timetable for Evans' return to action. The 49ers play the Broncos in Week 4. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson sidelined by an ankle injury vs. Buccaneers Sun Sep 27, 08:25 PM
Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson was ruled out of Sunday's 23-16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering a first-quarter injury to his left ankle.
| Footballguys view: We should expect Jefferson to miss Week 4 against Miami at a minimum, and a multi-week absence is possible. The Vikings have a bye in Week 6, so Jefferson could get three weeks and only miss two games in a best-case scenario. In his absence, the Vikings shifted their offensive focus to No. 2 receiver Jordan Addison, who finished with five catches for 90 yards. Jauan Jennings and Tai Felton were the Vikings' other receivers when they used three-receiver sets, but they had just one reception between them. Minnesota plays the Dolphins in Week 4. |

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan to undergo MRI on left knee Monday Sun Sep 27, 08:20 PM
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan will undergo an MRI on his left knee on Monday to determine the extent of his injury, per a source.

Raiders | Klint Kubiak confirms Jack Bech fractured his forearm Sun Sep 27, 07:59 PM
Raiders WR Jack Bech fractured his forearm, head coach Klint Kubiak said on Sunday. Bech was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Saints with the forearm injury.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, Bech's injury isn't believed to be season-ending, but the wide receiver will miss at least four weeks if he's placed on injured reserve, which would require an official transaction from the Raiders. He didn't record a catch Sunday prior to being ruled out against the Saints. |

Saints | Olave catches 9 passes for 107 yards in loss to Raiders Sun Sep 27, 07:47 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave caught 9 passes for 107 yards on 13 targets in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.2.

Ravens | Flowers catches 5 passes for 84 yards in win over Cowboys Sun Sep 27, 07:47 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers ran 1 time for 20 yards and also caught 5 passes for 84 yards on 6 targets in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 5.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.9.
| Footballguys view: Flowers led the Ravens in catches, targets, and receiving yards in his return following a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. According to Baltimore Banner staffer Jonas Shaffer, Flowers knew for a while that he would be suiting up Sunday. Still, he was limited in practice due to concerns about the quality of the field in Rio de Janeiro. As CBSSports.com suggests, Flowers has seemingly put the injury behind him heading into a Week 4 home game against the Titans. |

Cardinals | Wilson catches 11 passes for 89 yards, a touchdown in loss to 49ers Sun Sep 27, 07:31 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught 11 passes for 89 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets in Sunday's 36-30 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was projected for 9.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.4.
| Footballguys view: In a repeat of the game when Jacoby Brissett set the completion record last year, the Cardinals relied on short passing against the 49ers, but this year they were in the game until the end. Wilson showing this kind of ceiling in PPR leagues will make it hard to bench him going forward. |

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan caught 2 passes for 17 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 12.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.7.
| Footballguys view: Denzel Ward did his job against the Panthers #1 receiver. Jalen Coker left with a quad injury and will probably miss the Week 4 game (and maybe more), but Carolina is facing the Lions defense, so McMillan is still a high ceiling WR2 play next week. |
Tetairoa McMillan player page
Commanders | McLaurin catches 6 passes for 77 yards, a touchdown in win over Seahawks Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught 6 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He was projected for 8.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.7.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin was in top form against a top pass defense. Marcus Mariota's veteran prowess got him looking for McLaurin in big situations, including a fourth down in the second half, so we should feel better about starting the Commanders #1 receiver as a WR3/Flex option against the Colts next week. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba completed 1 of 1 passes for 14 yards and also caught 10 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 18.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.4.
| Footballguys view: Just a routine day so far this season for a player who is going to test whether a wide receiver can win MVP over a quarterback as long as he stays healthy. |

Colts | Allen catches 6 passes for 63 yards, a touchdown in win over Texans Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Keenan Allen caught 6 passes for 63 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.3.
| Footballguys view: Allen is going to be the biggest fantasy beneficiary of Alec Pierce going on injured reserve if this game is any indication. He made big plays at big times for the Colts in a hard fought win. He's probably on the waiver wire in a lot of leagues after a slow start to the season, but he should be in lineups as a WR3/Flex against the Commanders next week. |

Jaguars | Meyers catches 7 passes for 64 yards, a touchdown in win over Patriots Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers caught 7 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 35-6 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 6.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.9.
| Footballguys view: Meyers was the best fantasy play in the Jaguars passing game with Christian Gonzalez blanketing Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington only catching three balls (at least one was for a score). He'll be a weekly flex play going forward after scoring for the second time in three games. |
Jakobi Meyers player page
49ers | Mike Evans ruled out vs. Cardinals with rib injury, Trent Williams carted off Sun Sep 27, 05:39 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans was ruled out before the start of the third quarter of Sunday's Week 3 game against the Cardinals with a rib injury, after clutching his right side following a route in the second quarter and riding a cart to the locker room late in the first half. He was not hit on that play but took a helmet to his side on a tackle by Cardinals S Budda Baker on the play before, and it is unclear whether the two are related; the team did not provide the precise nature of the injury or a timeline. All-Pro LT Trent Williams also left on a cart in the third quarter with a stinger, and the 49ers initially listed him as questionable. San Francisco is already without WRs Ricky Pearsall (out for the season), De'Zhaun Stribling (expected to miss roughly 10 weeks) and Demarcus Robinson (injured reserve).
| Footballguys view: Evans caught three balls for 34 yards and a score before leaving, and he also lateraled the ball to Deebo Samuel after a two-yard reception that Samuel took 80 yards to the house for the first score of the game. We don't expect Evans will be ready for next week's game against the Broncos, which ups the value of Samuel and George Kittle, who are the last primary pass catchers standing along with Christian McCaffrey. |

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan ruled out with knee injury vs. Vikings Sun Sep 27, 04:45 PM
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Vikings with a knee injury. McMillan was injured in the first quarter and had initially been listed as questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: It took McMillan over a month to rally from a knee injury suffered in camp, so this is immensely disappointing. Ted Hurst caught a 40-yard touchdown to open the scoring for the Bucs and should have close to a full-time role while McMillan is out. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson cleared after concussion evaluation in loss to Lions Sun Sep 27, 04:30 PM
Jets WR Garrett Wilson was cleared after being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Wilson was shaken up late in the game after catching 10 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Wilson was a strong WR1 play as expected with No.2 receiver Adonai Mitchell out and the Jets facing a thin Lions secondary. This news is as good as we could have hoped for after watching Wilson leave the game. Wilson should have a very high ceiling against the Bears next week as long as he is active. |

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. |

| Footballguys view: Coker was nursing an ankle injury coming into this game. A quad issue landed him on injured reserve last season, so we'll have to wait for more details to learn whether this is related to that injury. |

Rams | Myles Garrett's absence 'trending six weeks', surgery on the table for Puka Nacua Sun Sep 27, 12:00 PM
Rams DE Myles Garrett's absence with a knee injury is trending toward six weeks instead of the earlier reported four, according to updates on Sunday. That timeline would keep him out against the Broncos, Eagles and Bills, with his status also in question for the following games against the Cardinals and Raiders. Rams WR Puka Nacua is battling a loss of top-end explosiveness and could return as soon as next week, although surgery is on the table if he does not get back to feeling like himself.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like Nacua could return and not be 100%, with some risk of being shut down for surgery if his groin doesn't respond well in the next week or two. If you are 0-3 with Nacua as your first-round pick after this week and we don't get a positive update on him early in the lead-up to Week 4, it might be time to trade him to try to save your season. |

Ravens | Ravens not counting on Zay Flowers (hamstring) for Week 3 vs. Cowboys Sun Sep 27, 11:59 AM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Cowboys, but the Ravens are not counting on him to play, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported. Flowers, officially listed as questionable, opened the practice week with two DNPs before logging a limited session on Friday. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday that Flowers would likely be on a pitch count if he does suit up. Flowers left in Week 1 after recording 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half and missed Week 2.

Jets | Jets without Adonai Mitchell, Mason Taylor at Lions; thin WR corps behind Garrett Wilson Sun Sep 27, 11:16 AM
The Jets will be without WR Adonai Mitchell and TE Mason Taylor for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Lions. WRs Omar Cooper Jr., Tim Patrick and Arian Smith are already on injured reserve. That leaves WR Garrett Wilson, three slot receivers and an undrafted rookie at wide receiver, putting rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq in position for a bigger role.
| Footballguys view: Wilson becomes an elite PPR WR1 this week, Sadiq a streamable tight end, and Isaiah Williams a PPR what-the-heck flex with the Jets also likely working in Breece Hall as a receiver more than usual this week. |
