49ers | WR Mike Evans (hip) limited in Friday's practice Fri Sep 25, 05:15 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Evans is no stranger to playing after a week of limited practices. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, and his limited participation should be enough to expect him out there on Sunday. The 49ers have a divisional matchup against the Cardinals and are already down Ricky Pearsall, De'Zhaun Stribling, Christian Kirk, and Demarcus Robinson. Evans should be peppered with targets, putting him in the high-end WR2 tier. |

Nico Collins out in Week 4 Fri Sep 25, 05:10 PM
Nico Collins (hamstring) is out for Week 4.
| Footballguys view: Collins suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1 and hasn't practiced since. With him out, Xavier Hutchison and Kayshon Boutte will operate as the outside receivers while Jaylin Noel works out of the slot. The biggest beneficiary so far has been Dalton Schultz, whose 22 targets rank second only to Trey McBride among all tight ends. Start Schultz as a solid TE1, and don't consider the receivers unless you are really desperate. |
Seahawks | Jadarian Price practices fully Friday, 'ready to go' for Week 3 Fri Sep 25, 04:47 PM
Seahawks RB Jadarian Price, who was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, practiced fully on Friday and is playing in Sunday's game at the Commanders. "He's taken a ton of reps, I'm excited to see him go play," head coach Mike Macdonald said. "He's ready to go."
| Footballguys view: Price has looked ready for NFL action to start his NFL career and can be relied on as an RB2 in this week's matchup against the Commanders. He's expected to split some touches with George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, as he has through the first couple of weeks. But Price's role and talent make him the preferred back in fantasy. It doesn't sound like there are any limitations on his workload, so treat him as you would without an injury designation. |

Broncos | Marvin Mims Jr. (foot) questionable for Sunday night vs. Rams Fri Sep 25, 04:47 PM
Broncos WR Marvin Mims Jr. is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams with a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Mima has taken a backseat to Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant, and Troy Franklin. Even if he is active, you can't trust him as anything more than a unique flyer in DFS. |

Broncos | RJ Harvey, J.K. Dobbins cleared for Sunday; Jonah Coleman ruled out vs. Rams Fri Sep 25, 04:29 PM
Broncos RB RJ Harvey (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Friday and was not assigned a game status for Sunday night's Week 3 game against the Rams. Harvey was inactive for Denver's Week 2 win over the Jaguars after being listed as questionable. RB J.K. Dobbins (hip) also has no game status after a second straight full practice, while rookie RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was ruled out after missing practice for the third consecutive day.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos' running back room has been banged up early this year, and they'll have Harvey and Dobbins active in Week 3. Coleman showed flashes in Week 2, and excitement about a growing role was starting to build. With Coleman out, expect Dobbins to handle the early-down work and Harvey to see the field on passing downs. Both are RB3s who likely need a touchdown to pay off in your starting lineup. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold (glute) cleared to play Sunday against Commanders Fri Sep 25, 04:27 PM
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) has been cleared to play against the Commanders on Sunday. Darnold had returned to full practice this week.
| Footballguys view: When Darnold exited Week 1's game and was taken via ambulance to a hospital, people assumed the worst. But after missing just a game, Darnold will be back out there on Sunday. Drew Lock filled in formidably for Darnold, helping the reigning Super Bowl champs get off to a 2-0 start. They'll get the Commanders this week, one of the league's worst pass defenses. The offense's low-volume nature keeps Darnold in the QB2 discussion, but his return is a boon for the Seahawks' other weapons. |

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: Michell 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. |

Steelers | Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) questionable for Week 3 vs. Bengals Fri Sep 25, 04:02 PM
Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is questionable for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Bengals. Pittman was limited in practice this week.
| Footballguys view: Pittman missed last week's game with a foot injury and could miss Week 3 as well. Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson both got some extra work with Pittman out last week, and that should continue again this week if Pittman can't go. Even if he is active, this Steelers offense has been anemic. It's hard to recommend Pittman as anything more than a WR4. |

Steelers | Rico Dowdle (toe) ruled out for Sunday against Bengals Fri Sep 25, 04:02 PM
Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Bengals. Dowdle did not practice in the team's latest session. Jaylen Warren sits atop the Steelers' running back depth chart.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle didn't practice all week and wasn't expected to play after leaving the fourth quarter of last week's game with a toe injury. Jaylen Warren is questionable for the matchup, potentially leaving rookie Eli Heidenreich at the top of the depth chart. |
Rico Dowdle player page
Steelers | Jaylen Warren (shoulder) questionable for Sunday vs. Bengals Fri Sep 25, 04:02 PM
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (shoulder) is questionable to play Sunday against the Bengals. Warren was limited in practice this week.
| Footballguys view: Warren was expected to have a huge workload on Sunday with Rico Dowdle out, but his shoulder injury appears more serious than early-week speculation suggested. Although he practiced every day, he was limited in each practice. Behind Warren and Dowdle, rookie Eli Heidenreich would be the next man up. Heidenreich is a fun player from Navy who played a hybrid role as a running back and receiver in college, leaving Annapolis as their all-time scrimmage yardage leader. If Warren is active, he projects as a high-end RB2. If he can't go, Heidenreich moves into the streaming discussion, although the Steelers would likely opt for a more pass-heavy game plan. |

Jaguars | WR Jakobi Meyers returns to full practice Fri Sep 25, 04:01 PM
Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Meyers has managed this thumb injury since training camp, and it hasn't affected his play. He's been a full-time player and has been running a lot of routes, but the ball hasn't been going his way. It's hard to trust him in Week 4 lineups. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears (ankle) questionable for Sunday against the Giants Fri Sep 25, 03:46 PM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is questionable to play Sunday against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: After back-to-back DNPs to start the week, Spears returned on Friday in a limited capacity. Even if he is active, a split with Tony Pollard and Nick Singleton on a bad offense makes him a risky start. The best move with Spears this week is to keep him on your bench, even if he is active. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai (knee) a full participant in Friday's practice Fri Sep 25, 03:46 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) was a full participant in practice on Friday. Monangai did not practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: A full participation for Monangai should have him on track to play Monday, despite Thursday's DNP. With Caleb Williams expected to be out, the Bears will likely opt for a run-heavy game plan. Monangai and D'Andre Swift are both viable RB2s, even against a tough Eagles run defense. |

Bears | Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent DNP again Fri Sep 25, 03:34 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) did not practice again, according to the team's latest injury report. QB Tyson Bagent (concussion) also did not practice.
| Footballguys view: All signs are pointing to a Case Keenum start on Monday night, with Williams and Bagent both unable to practice. Expect a run-heavy game plan from the Bears, boosting both D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. Keenum has a long history as a serviceable backup but hasn't started a game since 2023. He could certainly surprise, but assuming he starts, all Bears' pass catchers should be docked. |

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. |

Ravens | Zay Flowers returns to practice in Brazil, Ronnie Stanley not suited up Fri Sep 25, 02:42 PM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) returned to practice on Friday in Rio de Janeiro ahead of the game against the Cowboys, after not practicing all week.
| Footballguys view: We'll find out later today if Flowers was a limited or full participant, but his likelihood of playing on Sunday is still in flux. If Flowers can't go, Rashod Bateman proved he can be a solid lead receiver last week, and he can be relied on as a fantasy WR2. If Flowers is active, there's risk that he's limited. With the Ravens game kicking off late, fantasy managers should prepare a late-game stash. There's been a lot of talk about the field conditions in Rio de Janeiro, which could force the Ravens to err on the side of caution with Flowers. It'll be hard to keep him out of lineups if he's healthy, but he should be viewed as a risky WR3, not a plug-and-play WR1. |

Saints | RB Travis Etienne Jr. returns to full practice Fri Sep 25, 02:15 PM
Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Etienne was limited early in the week, but there was never any concern that he wouldn't be ready to go for this Sunday. The concern is entirely his workload, as he's split touches with Kendre Miller in Week 1 and Alvin Kamara in Week 2. He's an RB3 heading into this matchup against the Raiders. If his role grows, we'll have confidence ranking him a bit higher in future weeks, but it's hard to do that given what we've seen through the first two. |
Travis Etienne Jr. player page
Saints | RB Kendre Miller returns to full practice Fri Sep 25, 02:15 PM
Saints RB Kendre Miller (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being held out of an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Miller's absence yesterday was listed as an illness, so there's no injury to worry about here. However, Miller was inactive last week. With CJ Donaldson playing on special teams, he'll get the game-day nod over Miller. Expect Traiv Etienne Jr., Alvin Kamara, and Donaldson to be active on Sunday, and Miller to be a healthy scratch again. Even if the Saints change their plans up, it's hard to project Miller in a fantasy-relevant role. |

Rams | Puka Nacua will be listed as doubtful for Week 3 Fri Sep 25, 02:04 PM
Puka Nacua will not practice and will be listed as doubtful for the game against the Broncos.
| Footballguys view: A doubtful tag isn't much different than an out declaration, so Nacua's managers should plan for a week without him. Adam Schefter reported that "Sean McVay believes that, barring a setback, Puka Nacua could return next week vs. the Eagles." So there's some hope for fantasy managers here, as early-week comments had people concerned about a possible IR stint. With Nacua out, expect Davante Adams to be a high-end WR1. Terrance Ferguson should be a full-time receiver, making him a viable tight end streamer. |

Browns | Monken says Deshaun Watson had his 'best week of practice' Fri Sep 25, 01:26 PM
Browns QB Deshaun Watson had his best week of practice, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: Watson is coming off his best fantasy performance since Week 17, 2022. He looks healthy for the first time in years and is the current QB12 in scoring. With quarterback injuries stacking up quickly, Watson is creeping into the streamer discussion. He's got a nice schedule coming up and should be stashed by quarterback-needy teams in deep leagues. |

Rams | McVay confirms Kyren Williams, Blake Corum will keep splitting carries all season Fri Sep 25, 01:21 PM
Rams HC Sean McVay said on Tuesday that he envisions RB Kyren Williams and RB Blake Corum continuing to split carries for the rest of the 2026 season, answering "Yes" when asked and adding, "we look at it like we got two great backs, and those guys being able to spell each other is when we're at our best."
| Footballguys view: McVay has gushed about Corum since the end of last year, and the two have split touches at the start of the season. Williams edges Corum out on passing-down and red-zone work, giving him a much higher floor and ceiling. Corum gets enough work to be relied on as an RB3, but he'd need Williams to miss time for his ceiling outcome to materialize. |

Bills | Keon Coleman participating in stretching as practice gets underway Fri Sep 25, 12:52 PM
Bills WR Keon Coleman (ankle) was participating in stretching as practice got underway. Coleman had not practiced on Thursday, September 24, and sat out the previous day's session with the ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: After back-to-back DNPs, it's good to see Coleman back at practice. He operated as the team's top receiver last week after DJ Moore left early with a shoulder injury. If Moore can't go, Coleman could assume the top role in the receiver room again. However, he could be limited as he recovers from this ankle injury. Dalton Kincaid, the top-scoring tight end through two weeks, should be plenty involved. Khalil Shakir should also see more work. But the receiver room gets thin after that. Coleman would have been a buzzy streamer if Moore was inactive, but this injury complicates things. Without a full practice and a positive report, it'll be hard to trust Coleman in lineups on Sunday. His Week 3 value will hinge on how he practices. |
Keon Coleman player page
Bills | DJ Moore back at practice in red non-contact jersey Fri Sep 25, 12:51 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) returned to the practice field in a red non-contact jersey. Moore did not practice on Thursday after being downgraded from a limited participant on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: It's good to see Moore back at practice, but you can't ignore a non-contact jersey. An AC joint sprain is a painful injury to recover from, and Moore is not 100%. There's risk that even if he is active this week, he ends up in a limited role. We'll hope for clarity before kickoff, and the Bills luckily play early enough. But Moore managers should have a backup plan in case it's reported that he will be on a pitch count. |

Colts | Ashton Dulin (ankle) ruled out for Week 3, Ward Sr. back at practice Fri Sep 25, 12:44 PM
Colts WR Ashton Dulin (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Houston Texans, head coach Shane Steichen announced on Friday.
| Footballguys view: With Dulin out, and Alec Pierce expected to follow, Laquon Treadwell will likely serve as the team's field stretcher. Expect targets to concentrate on Josh Downs and Tyler Warren, but Treadwell should see a decent snap share as the Colts' thin receiver room tries to overcome being shorthanded. |

Panthers | Canales expects Jalen Coker to play, Xavier Legette a game-time decision Fri Sep 25, 12:35 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker is listed as questionable, but head coach Dave Canales said the team expects him to play. Carolina WR Xavier Legette is also questionable and will be a game-time decision.
| Footballguys view: Both Coker and Legette returned to practice today, and the former seems to be trending in a better direction. ESPN's Mike Kaye noted that both receivers ran routes early in practice, so there's hope they can both suit up on Sunday. Assuming Coker is active, he's a high-end WR3. Legette, despite his big catch last week, is little more than a desperation play. |

Dolphins | Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out vs. Chiefs, Jaylen Wright doubtful Fri Sep 25, 12:09 PM
Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) will not play in Sunday's home game against the Chiefs, head coach Jeff Hafley told reporters at his Friday press conference.
| Footballguys view: Douglas left last week's game with an ankle injury and couldn't practice through it in any capacity this week. In his absence, expect Malik Washington to see some extra work. Fellow rookie Chris Bell has been working through a knee issue as he recovers from ACL surgery, but he's expected to go and could see extra looks with Douglas inactive. However, De'Von Achane is really the only player you can confidently rely on in this offense right now, and "confidently" may oversell his utility. |

Commanders | Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) 'unlikely to play' Sunday vs. Seattle Fri Sep 25, 11:01 AM
Commanders TE Chigoziem 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. |

Dolphins | Chris Bell (knee) expected to play vs. Chiefs, Hafley says Fri Sep 25, 11:01 AM
Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) is expected to play against the Chiefs, head coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Bell was limited early in the week with some swelling in his knee as he recovers from ACL surgery. He's played in each of the first two weeks and should be back out there in Week 3. Expect some mid-week management on Bell's knee as the 22-year-old rookie gets up to speed in the NFL. |

Dolphins | Jaylen Wright (stinger/foot) 'doubtful' to play against Chiefs Fri Sep 25, 11:01 AM
Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (stinger/foot) is doubtful to play against the Chiefs, coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday, September 25. Wright was limited in Thursday's practice with the foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Wright has seen little opportunity in his young career, behind De'Von Achane on the depth chart. With Wright expected to miss Sunday, that could create a few more opportunities for Ollie Gordon. But this Dolphins offense hasn't had many bright spots early in the season. Achane is a back-end RB1, and no one else might matter consistently in fantasy. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart to undergo full meniscus repair Friday, 4-6 month recovery expected Fri Sep 25, 10:36 AM
Giants QB Jaxson Dart will undergo knee surgery on Friday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported. Dart will have a full meniscus repair, the primary injury, and the surgeon will also address his MCL and PCL if necessary. His recovery timeline is expected to be four-to-six months, meaning he could possibly return for the postseason if New York qualifies.
| Footballguys view: Dart looked calm and collected in Week 1 of his sophomore season, but it came to an end abruptly in Week 2. John Harbaugh optimistically mentioned a postseason return, but that's unlikely given the state of the roster. Dart is droppable in all redraft formats. For rebuilding dynasty rosters, he's a strong buy. |

Packers | Jordan Love says 'our run game's got to improve' after 17 rushing yards vs. Falcons Fri Sep 25, 09:31 AM
"Our run game's got to improve. When you have a solid pass game and run game balancing each other, that always helps," Love said, adding that it was harder to commit to the run once the Packers fell behind. RB Josh Jacobs remains on the commissioner's exempt list and is likely to be suspended without pay after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property.
| Footballguys view: Packers QB Jordan Love passed for 312 yards while Green Bay's running game managed just 17 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Falcons. RB MarShawn Lloyd and RB Kaleb Johnson each received only four carries, with Lloyd gaining 11 yards and Johnson six. The offensive line didn't do much to help the run game, but the backs themselves were uninspiring. As the Packers wait for more information on Jacobs, don't be surprised to see them look to the trade market for added reinforcements. |

Commanders | Adam Peters doesn't expect Jayden Daniels to need surgery on dislocated elbow, week-to-week Fri Sep 25, 08:43 AM
Commanders GM Adam Peters said he doesn't expect QB Jayden Daniels to have surgery on his dislocated left elbow. Peters made the comments during his weekly appearance on 106.7 The Fan. Daniels did not practice on Thursday, September 24 and will not play in Week 3.
| Footballguys view: Daniels avoided IR last year after his first elbow dislocation, returned after missing three games and a bye, and promptly dislocated his elbow again. He made it through Week 1 this year unscathed and then dislocated his elbow again in Week 2. That's three elbow dislocations in his last 149 snaps. These could be flukes, but they're starting to look like the start of a trend. Daniels will miss Week 3, and possibly more. He's droppable in shallow formats. When he does return, the risk of reinjury will be high. |

Chiefs | RB coach: 'hard to take' Walker out, Johnson to 'get more opportunities' Fri Sep 25, 06:58 AM
Chiefs RB coach DeMarco Murray said Thursday that RB Kenneth Walker III "likes the ball a lot and I like giving it to him," but acknowledged rookie RB Emmett Johnson will see more work heading into the Week 3 game against the Dolphins. "Obviously, I want Kenneth to get into a groove and, as you guys have seen these first two games, it's hard to kind of take him out," Murray said. "But Emmett's done a great job and he's still learning. He'll continue to get more opportunities. I've just got to pull the trigger and get No. 9 out of there and put No. 10 in there."
| Footballguys view: Walker has been an absolute workhorse for the Chiefs through the first two weeks, leading the NFL in touches. Emmett Johnson has looked fantastic in his limited opportunities, leading the league in missed tackles forced per attempt. In what projects to be a big win for the Chiefs this week in Miami, don't be surprised if the Chiefs put Walker on ice at some point. Murray's comments mirror what Andy Reid said earlier in the week. Walker's impact on this offense has been undeniable, but there's a lot of season left. Get Walker in your lineup as a plug-and-play RB1, but don't expect him to maintain his pace of 28 touches per game for a full season. |

Travis Etienne Jr. limited again, Kendre Miller added to injury report with illness Thu Sep 24, 05:57 PM
Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. remained a limited participant in practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. Etienne has 17 carries for 71 yards through the first two games. RB Kendre Miller (illness) was added to the injury report as a non-participant, and WR Barion Brown (hamstring) did not practice again. DE Chase Young (calf) returned to full participation.
| Footballguys view: The Saints offense is exciting, but it's fair to say after two contests that Etienne is disappointing Fantasy GMs. Alvin Kamara returned to the field last week and robbed Etienne of snaps, touches, and opportunities. Etienne rushed eight times for 25 yards in the Saints' Week 2 win over the Ravens, adding two receptions for six additional yards. This week against the Raiders, consider Etienne a deep RB3/flex option. |

Vikings | Kyler Murray speaks for first time since concussion, set for Sunday at Tampa Bay Thu Sep 24, 05:17 PM
Vikings QB Kyler Murray spoke to reporters for the first time since suffering a concussion in Week 1. Murray is expected to get a more prolonged look in head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense when Minnesota plays at Tampa Bay on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Murray only played 11 snaps in Week 1 before getting concussed. He missed Week 2, but Carson Wentz kept the team's record unblemished with a win over the Bears. Now, Murray takes over an undefeated team that wants to stay on the winning track. With the weapons around him, Murray could post high-end QB2 (low-end QB1) numbers in Week 3 against the Buccaneers. |

Vikings | Aaron Jones back on the field, O'Neill returns to full participation Thu Sep 24, 05:16 PM
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (knee) was back on the practice field after previously missing practice. LB Jake Golday also returned to the field, while RT Brian O'Neill and DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins returned to full participation. Brett Thorson was the only Minnesota player listed as a DNP.
| Footballguys view: Jones tweaked his knee against the Bears in Week 2, and he had to miss Wednesday's practice. He's out there on Thursday, and Jones is trending towards playing against the Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon. We've got Jones in the RB3/flex range in this matchup. |

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. |

Bills | DJ Moore downgraded from limited to DNP, Ed Oliver limited in return Thu Sep 24, 05:01 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore went from a limited participant in practice on Wednesday to a DNP in the team's next practice. Buffalo DB Jordan Hancock was also downgraded from limited on Wednesday to not practicing. DT Ed Oliver was limited in his return to the field.
| Footballguys view: Getting downgraded from Wednesday (limited) to Thursday (DNP) is not a great sign for Moore's availability. The Bills may be without Moore if he can't get back to practice on Friday. Playing against the Chargers in Week 3, Khalil Shakir might be asked to do more. |
