Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Rams listed WR Puka Nacua as questionable for Monday Night Football against the Bengals.

Head coach Sean McVay relayed that he expects the surging rookie to play against the Bengals in Week 3 even though he is listed as questionable. Nacua has set multiple rookie records through his first two professional outings, including most targets for a rookie through two games, most targets for a rookie in a single game, and most reception for a rookie in a single game.
Irv Smith

CIN Tight End #84

Bengals list TE Irv Smith as doubtful for Week 3 against the Rams.

Smith first popped on the team’s injury report on Friday, meaning he likely picked up the injury during the team’s first practice session of the week on Thursday. He was able to manage back-to-back limited sessions on Friday and Saturday but draws the doubtful tag for Monday Night Football against the Rams. Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox are on hand to handle tight end duties for a Bengals team that could also be without quarterback Joe Burrow, who is listed as questionable after aggravating the calf injury he suffered in camp.
Carl Granderson

NO EDGE #96

Saints re-signed DE Carl Granderson to a four-year, $52 million contract.

Granderson, a former undrafted free agent, is in the midst of a true breakout season for the Saints and was proactively compensated for his growth. The Saints originally signed Granderson before the 2019 season and he has since worked his way into one of the mainstays of the Dennis Allen and Joe Woods defense.
Duane Brown

NYJ Tackle #76

Jets ruled OT Duane Brown out for Week 3 against the Patriots.

That could spell trouble for fill-in quarterback Zach Wilson, who will now be without his starting left tackle against the stout Patriots defense. Head coach Robert Saleh said yesterday that he expected Brown to play in Week 3. Billy Turner could slide right into the starting left tackle spot of the team could move right tackle Mekhi Becton to the left side to protect Wilson’s blind side.
Joe Burrow

CIN Quarterback #9

Bengals listed QB Joe Burrow questionable for MNF against the Rams.

The Bengals also signed free agent quarterback AJ McCarron to their practice squad on Saturday, giving the sense that Burrow, who managed a limited showing in practice on Friday after consecutive “DNP” to start the week, could be in legitimate danger of missing Week 3. Burrow aggravated the calf injury he sustained in camp in Week 2. We’re still waiting on the final injury report from the team. Fantasy managers with Burrow will need to make a contingency plan considering the team plays on Monday.
Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Puka Nacua (oblique) returned to practice on Friday.

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.
DK Metcalf

SEA Wide Receiver #14

DK Metcalf (ribs) is questionable for Week 3 against the Panthers.

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.
Jamal Adams

SEA Safety #33

Seahawks listed S Jamal Adams (knee) as questionable for Week 3 against the Panthers.

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.
Kenneth Gainwell

PHI Running Back #14

Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

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.
DeVonta Smith

PHI Wide Receiver #6

Devonta Smith (thigh/hamstring) was limited in Friday’s practice.

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.
