  • LAR Wide Receiver #17
    This will probably go down as a limited practice. Head coach Sean McVay appears intent on taking it easy on Nacua while he deals with this oblique injury, but has already gone on record saying he does not expect Nacua to be slowed come Monday night when the Rams take on the Bengals. Nacua has caught 25-of-35 targets through two games this season, and is one of the hottest names in fantasy. He’s a must-start in Week 3 against the Bengals.
  • SEA Wide Receiver #14
    As expected, Pete Carroll said Metcalf is on track to start. Carroll has been confident that Metcalf would play all week and didn’t falter today. Metcalf will suit up as a fantasy WR2 versus a Carolina team that will look to play a slow, low-scoring game with Andy Dalton under center.
  • SEA Safety #33
    According to head coach Pete Carroll Adams is “as close as you can get” to playing in Week 3. It doesn’t sound like Adams is a lock to go on Sunday, but Carroll also added that he is very likely to play in Week 4 against the Giants if he’s unable to go this week.
  • PHI Running Back #14
    The Eagles play on Monday, so they will have one more injury report before declaring Gainwell’s status, but it certainly looks like Gainwell will be cleared from the report on Saturday. He missed Week 2 with a rib injury, paving the way for D’Andre Swift to rush 28 times for 175 yards and a touchdown. The backfield split for Week 3 is entirely up in the air after Swift’s downright dominant performance, but it’s fair to say both backs will be stuck in a committee.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    That’s two-straight limited sessions for Smith to open the week, as he looks to ready up in time for Monday night’s Week 3 matchup against the Buccaneers. Smith exploded for 4-131-1 in the Eagles’ Week 2 win over the Vikings and now has 178 yards and two touchdowns to show through two weeks. Assuming he’s good to go come Monday, Smith will be a fringe WR1 play against the Bucs.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Burrow did not participate in the Bengals’ first practice of the week on Thursday. Getting back to a limited session gives him a good shot at suiting up on Monday versus the Rams. He will get his official status after the team’s final practice on Saturday. For fantasy managers fretting a questionable tag that he ultimately can’t play through, Matthew Stafford is the best contingency plan to have in place. Baker Mayfield, who faces the Eagles also on Monday, would be the desperation option.
  • DET Tackle #68
    Decker missed yet another week of practiced after going down in the Lions’ Week 1 opener against the Chiefs. The veteran tackle was replaced by Penei Sewell in last week’s loss to the Seahawks, and can be expected to be replaced by Sewell again in Week 3.
  • SF Head Coach
    The move was announced as a multi-year extension, though no concrete details have been leaked yet. Keeping Shanahan under contract is a no-brainer for the 49ers. Three games into his seventh season as the boss in San Francisco, Shanahan is 55-46 with 22 of his losses coming in his first two seasons. He has mounted successful seasons with a rotating cast of quarterbacks at his disposal and is widely thought of as one of the greatest offensive minds the league has ever seen. General manager John Lynch was also extended, keeping the band together for years to come.
  • LAC Linebacker #97
    Bosa played on the same injured hamstring last week and casually went out and totaled two sacks and two TFLs against the Titans. He was a limited participant in two of the team’s three practices this week and will in all likelihood play in Week 3 as the Chargers look to secure their first win of the season.
  • LAC Running Back #30
    This was always expected to be the case, especially after Ekeler said on his own podcast that this was “a day-to-day, week-to-week type of situation.” The Chargers will once again rely on Joshua Kelley to serve in a lead back role while hoping for better results against the Vikings. It’s only been two weeks, but the Vikings have allowed the fourth-most rushing yards per game on the season, and were obliterated by D’Andre Swift Swift (28-175-1) and the Eagles last week. Kelley will have some high-end RB2 appeal.
