  • SEA Wide Receiver #14
    Metcalf pops up on the injury report to begin Week 3 due to a hand issue. After a big 10/129/1 showing in Week 2, fantasy managers are likely not thrilled to see Metcalf dealing with a hand injury. Reports from practices later in the week will expand on the severity of Metcalf’s injury, but this is something to monitor for someone who is a fantasy WR2 when healthy. Fellow WR Tyler Lockett was limited with a thigh injury, though Lockett has played through it in each of the last two weeks. He and the Jaxon Smith-Njigba will see even more usage should Metcalf remain out for Week 3.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Walker missed Week 2 with the oblique injury after not practicing last week. If he can practice later in the week, it would be better news, but Walker is trending towards missing Week 3 as well. Zach Charbonnet is back in line for lead back touches and should fare better against the Dolphins after averaging less than three yards per carry against the Pats last week. Charbonnet is headed for RB2 value while Walker remains out.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #12
    Collins popped up on the injury report as a DNP to start the week. It was a surprise addition to the report for Houston’s No.1 receiver. He played a full four quarters in Houston’s Week 2 win and racked up 135 yards plus a touchdown on 10 targets. Wilson’s almost immediate report saying Collins is expected to play suggests his absence from Wednesday’s practice was maintenance or precautionary. We will learn more from Thursday’s injury report, but fantasy managers should sit tight and plan to have the star receiver in their lineups for Week 3 until further notice.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    The Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday so Brown’s status is only an estimation. ESPN’s Lisa Salters reported on Monday that Brown is expected to miss multiple weeks, so it’s safe to assume Brown would not have taken part in a full practice and isn’t likely to see the field this week. Rookie wideout Johnny Wilson also missed practice with a hamstring injury. Britain Covey, who caught all six of his targets for 26 yards in Week 2, appears set to take on another sizable workload this week.
  • DAL Tight End #87
    Ferguson suffered a painful knee injury in Week 1 that initially looked like it would sideline him for an extended period of time. The Cowboys initially expressed optimism that Ferguson would be able to play last week but that never materialized and he failed to play through a doubtful designation. Things are looking much better for him this week after he returned to practice on Wednesday. Ferguson will sit on the TE1/2 border if he makes it through the week without any setbacks.
  • DAL Wide Receiver #88
    Lamb is just the latest in a long line of superstar skill position players to go down with an injury. The severity of his ankle issue is unclear at this time, though a DNP to start the week is never a good thing. Still, Lamb is a veteran at this point in his career and doesn’t need a full week of practice in order to suit up. The Cowboys’ Thursday injury report will shed more light on the injury. If Lamb were to miss time, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert with likely split the No. 1 duties in Dallas. Tolbert, coming off an 82-yard outing in Week 2, is worth stashing in all fantasy formats.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #15
    A limited session to open the week is good news for Odunze, who played through a low-grade MCL sprain in Week 2 versus the Texans. He will likely be limited in practice for some time as the Bears attempt to manage his injury, but the rookie didn’t suffer any setbacks in Chicago’s loss to the Texans. The Bears’ offense hasn’t been able to get anything going in two games with Caleb Williams at the helm. They will need to show some improvement before fantasy managers can treat Odunze as anything other than a high-risk WR4.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #13
    Allen did not practice last week before being listed as questionable for Week 2. He was ultimately ruled out before kickoff. A DNP to start Week 3’s practices isn’t a good sign for his availability, but the veteran receiver may only need a limited session or two in order to play. His status will be monitored closely throughout the week. Allen would be a risky WR3 if he does suit up to face the Colts.
  • TEN Running Back #2
    Spears didn’t practice on Wednesday but his comments make it clear that isn’t a reason to worry about his status for Week 3. The young running back is likely just getting a maintenance day as he works through the minor ankle injury in suffered in Week 2. That also aligns with the reporting from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, who said Spears “should be ok” earlier this week. Spears will continue to operate as the lesser half of Tennessee’s backfield-by-committee on Sunday versus the Packers.
  • DET Wide Receiver #14
    Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, St. Brown suffered a quad contusion and dealt with some cramping in Detroit’s Week 2 loss to the Bucs. Head coach Dan Campbell downplayed the injury after the game. The issues appear to be a non-factor after the full practice to start the week. St. Brown should be locked and loaded as a fantasy WR1 for a potentially high-scoring outing versus the Cardinals.
