It’s yet another tough break for Woods, who has battled through numerous injuries since being drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Woods has caught 25 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns in 15 career games but hasn’t taken a regular-season snap since 2022. After missing all of last season with nagging hamstring injuries, Woods will now hope to see the field at some point late in the 2024 season. With Woods out, fourth-year tight end Kylen Granson is expected to serve as the team’s starter. Granson is well off the fantasy radar at this time.

Engram was scratched with a hamstring strain for Week 2, but Pederson was “optimistic” that the tight end could be back on the field for Week 3 against the Bills. Brenton Strange played well with 65 yards in the Week 2 loss to the Browns, and if Engram can’t go, makes sense as a fill-in for that contest.

McDaniel said that there’s not enough information yet for the Dolphins to determine how long Tagovailoa will be out. The left-handed quarterback is meeting with neurologists this week, and that will go a long way towards determining when — and if — he can make that return to the gridiron. Skyler Thompson will get the nod in Tagovailoa’s absence, and the team signed Tyler Huntley to be Thompson’s backup from the Ravens’ practice squad. Fantasy managers should be prepared for Tagovailoa not to be on the field for a while.

Armstead left Thursday’s game with a shoulder injury, and while the initial prognosis was that the 6-foot-5 tackle would miss a few weeks, it’s possible he could play in Week 3 in Seattle. Consider him questionable for that contest, but more likely to miss one game than to be back in action.

Hill caught his only target and ran for 18 yards in the Week 3 blowout win over the Cowboys before leaving with the chest injury. Saints head coach Dennis Allen told reporters Monday that Hill was able to fly back with the team, but didn’t provide many specifics. There should be more updates on Hill’s status ahead of Week 3 against the Eagles.

O’Connell reiterated that Addison remains in the questionable territory, and that his status will largely be determined by what kind of work he can put in this week prior to the Sunday tilt. If Addison can’t go, Jalen Nailor will again be the No. 2 wideout behind Justin Jefferson — although Jefferson is dealing with a quad injury himself — for that matchup with the Houston secondary.

Jefferson was diagnosed with a quad contusion after the Week 2 win against the 49ers where he picked up 134 yards and a touchdown. The wideout could be limited in the early portion of practice as Minnesota takes every precaution necessary with their star wideout, but while he did look to be in a good deal of pain while picking up the injury, it sounds like there’s a great chance Jefferson will be on the field for the matchup with Houston come Sunday.

When asked if Herbert could still undergo an MRI, Harbaugh told reports that he believed evaluations will continue as the week goes on. The quarterback was “rolled up” on during a second half sack and looked to be in significant pain, although he was able to return without missing a snap. t’s a situation to monitor, but Herbert seems more likely to play than not in Week 3 against the Steelers.

Dalton will get the nod after Bryce Young failed in spectacular fashion over the first two games of the year. The 36-year-old will give Young a chance to watch from the sidelines for a bit, but it still seems likely Carolina will turn back to Young to see what they have in Young before the 2024 season comes to a conclusion. Neither Dalton nor Young are good fantasy options for the rest of the year.

Instead, it will be Andy Dalton who starts at quarterback against Baltimore. Young was horrible in Week 2 in the 26-3 loss to the Chargers with just 84 yards and a pick on 26 attempts against Los Angeles. The first-overall pick will get a chance to watch against Baltimore and likely will get his starting gig back at some point, but this has been an objective disaster thus far. Carolina might as well start studying the film tape of Carson Beck and Shedeur Sanders even more closely now.

Achane came into that Thursday Night Football game highly questionable, but with Raheem Mostert (chest) unable to go, the speedy tailback received a career-high 29 touches; 22 of them on carries. Even if Mostert can go in Week 3 against the Seahawks, it seems very likely that Achane is going to receive the bulk of the carries against a Seattle defense that was shaky against the run in Week 2.
