  • WAS Coaching Staff
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Cardinals have requested to interview Commanders WR coach Drew Terrell for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
    Terrell has moved up from Panthers quality control coach to Commanders assistant wideouts coach to Commanders wideout coach over the past five years. He wouldn’t appear to have any real coaching experience with new Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon, so this is an interesting request. Terrell has clearly done some impressive work with Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson over the past couple seasons.

  • JAX Running Back #4
    Tank Bigsby (shoulder) received a limit designation for Thursday’s practice.
    A full practice would have been nice to see, but the limited showing for the 23-year-old still puts him on track to play against the Bills on Monday Night; something coach Doug Pederson told reporters this week that he expects to do. Bigsby will still operate behind Travis Etienne, but his strong play will see him involved and makes him an intriguing FLEX option for Week 3.
  • JAX Tight End #17
    Evan Engram (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday’s practice.
    Engram was unable to practice, and seems unlikely to be able to play Monday Night against the Bills. With the 30-year-old old seemingly unavailable for that tilt, Evan Strange will see the bulk of snaps in Engram’s absence, and he’s worth consideration after a good showing in Week 2 against the Browns.
  • SF Tight End #85
    49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring tightness) was not seen practicing on Thursday.
    The report comes from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who initially said Kittle “was not spotted at practice and is experiencing tightness in his hamstring” before unambiguously stating “With no practice today, his status for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams is in question.” Fantasy managers should make contingency plans for Week 3, as Kittle appears to be truly questionable for the contest.
  • CIN Tight End #83
    Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters, “We certainly like what we see,” regarding rookie TE Erick All Jr.
    Taylor adds, “You can put a lot on his plate.” All notably tied veteran TE Drew Sample for a positional, team-high 33 offensive snaps in Week 2. The rookie is promisingly averaging 1.78 yards per route run while having caught 4-of-4 targets through two weeks. All can be speculatively stashed on deep-league benches, though it could take some time for him to separate.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #15
    Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice.
    Odunze’s consecutive LP designations are an upgrade on last week’s DNP, DNP and LP designations. He was on-field for 66-of-70 possible snaps last week so fantasy managers should expect him to suit up once again in Week 3.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #13
    Keenan Allen (heel) did not practice Thursday.
    This makes back-to-back practices that Allen wasn’t able to participate in after missing Week 2 against the Texans. It seems very likely that the 32-year-old will miss Week 3 against the Colts as well, meaning more targets for Rome Odunze (knee) and snaps for DeAndre Carter and potentially Velus Jones.
  • IND Defensive End #97
    Colts EDGE Laiatu Latu (hip) did not practice on Thursday.
    Latu’s chances of suiting up this week are unfortunately decreasing. The Colts pass rush also lost DL DeForest Buckner (back/ankle) to injured reserve this week, notably weakening the unit. The news bodes positively for Bears QB Caleb Williams.
  • IND Wide Receiver #1
    Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.
    This is Downs’ second consecutive FP this week. Barring a setback, the dynamic slot receiver should be on-field for the Colts’ Week 3 game against the Bears on Sunday. Downs can be trusted as a flex-worthy starter, though Bears slot CB Kyler Gordon is no pushover.
  • IND Kicker #7
    Matt Gay (quad) was a full participant for Thursday’s practice.
    Gay is still battling a quad issue, but he was able to play in Week 2 and the full session Thursday suggests he’ll handle kicking duties against the Bears in Week 3.
  • ATL Running Back #25
    Tyler Allgeier (hip) was a full participant during Thursday’s practice.
    Allgeier was limited Wednesday with his hip issue, but the full practice session Thursday is a good sign that he’ll be ready to go Sunday against the Chiefs in Week 3. If healthy, Allgeier is likely looking at around 10 touches — the same amount he had in Week 2 — against Kansas City.
