Burns has been dealing with the groin injury for a while but the Achilles issue is both new and concerning. The 2-5 Giants have no reason to put Burns at risk by asking him to play through an Achilles injury in what effectively amounts to a lost season already.

Baltimore Banner’s Jonas Shaffer maintained the beat’s skepticism of Flowers’ availability for Week 3’s game in Rio by saying it “still seems unlikely” he’ll play. At the very least, Flowers’ appearance is probably a good sign for his chance for Week 4. We’ll grab a fresh update once the Ravens drop statuses; it seems likely Flowers will not be better than questionable.

Nacua will not practice today, either. The bad news comes straight from Rams coach Sean McVay. With Nacua sidelined, WR Davante Adams must be treated as a fantasy football WR1 and TE Terrance Ferguson can be expected to operate as the team’s No. 2 pass catcher. He is a worthwhile TE1 starter.

Oliver was a surprise scratch in last week’s game against the Lions after suffering an injury in pre-game warmups. It was reported on Sunday that Oliver was day-to-day with “a chance” to play against the Chargers. After being limited in back-to-back practice to close out the week, it’s fair to assume he’ll have a chance to suit up on Sunday barring any setbacks.

Coleman didn’t practice on either Wednesday or Thursday, but made some movement on Friday by showing up to a practice even if media reporters weren’t truly sure if he was giving a lot of effort. Josh Palmer would be a reasonable FLEX play if Coleman were ruled out.

This is unsurprising based on how the week trended. Moore practiced twice in a non-contact jersey and rested on Thursday. Moore-reliant managers should be prepared to pivot on Sunday morning if need be.

The Commanders placed Amos on injured reserve at the end of camp, which will require him to miss at least the first four games of the season. Quinn said Amos’ “speed and on-field work” have been encouraging as of late, but declined to comment on when the 2025 second-rounder could return. The Commanders’ secondary has struggled through the first two weeks of the season, allowing a league-high seven touchdown passes while also ranking 25th in yards per attempt allowed. We’ll have a better sense of when Amos could be in line to return once the team opens his return window.

He did not practice at any point this week and looks to be questionable for Week 4. The Browns also listed CB Tyson Campbell (hip, ankle) and Grant Delpit (shoulder) as questionable. Browns coach Todd Monken said he’s “hopeful” Campbell and Delpit will go.

The second-string tight end’s absence may open up more opportunities for New England slot wideout Pop Douglas. The Patriots also ruled out Dre’Mont Jones (shoulder) for Week 3.

He is wearing the red non-contact jersey, however. With a DNP sandwiched between two sessions with the non-contact jersey, Moore is likely to be questionable at best for Week 3. We’ll see how the designations fall later today, but Moore-reliant fantasy managers should have a backup plan ready for Sunday.

Laquon Treadwell prayer starts are officially on the menu for Week 3.
