  • NYG Wide Receiver #5

    Giants released WR Allen Robinson.
    The dusty 31-year-old veteran made it 3.5 months on the Giants’ 90-man roster. This is sadly probably the end of the line for the former fantasy star after he could manage only 34 receptions in 11 games for the Steelers last season. His veteran presence could still earn him one more look, however.
  • SF Wide Receiver #15

    49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) did not practice on Thursday.
    Last week, when Jennings was only dealing with a shoulder injury, he sat out practice on Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. He then improbably caught 5-of-10 targets for 89 yards and one touchdown. Jennings is tough to trust, given the new injury, but we expect a similar practice participation situation to unfold tomorrow. He is a boom-bust WR3 for the time being.
    Should fantasy managers be worried about McConkey?
    Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter talk about Ladd McConkey's slow start to the season, analyzing if fantasy managers should be concerned about his biceps injury and projecting how he will perform in the coming weeks.
  • SF Quarterback #13
    49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) was limited on Thursday.
    Purdy was asked if he could end up playing this weekend, and he responded by saying that the decision will come down to how he is feeling come “game time.” That’s a bit surprising, but it sounds as though Purdy may actually suit up this weekend. His continued limited participation only furthers the notion. His mobility may be impeded if he is active, however, and he is also still nursing a left shoulder injury.
  • SEA Cornerback #21
    Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon (knee) did not practice on Thursday.
    Witherspoon is rehabbing an MCL contusion, and was unable to play in Week 2. Rookie S Nick Emmanwori remains sidelined by a high-ankle sprain and fellow S Julian Love is sidelined by a hamstring injury. The Saints’ speedy wide receivers could have a productive day against the Seahawks’ banged up secondary in Week 3.
  • SEA Wide Receiver #15
    Seahawks WR Tory Horton (groin) was limited on Thursday.
    Horton is on track to play, though returning to full participation today would have been nice to see. The Seahawks’ rookie speedster had a productive outing on four targets last week, though that sum is likely his projectable ceiling, at least in the short term. He could play efficiently against the Saints’ defense.
  • SEA Running Back #26
    Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (foot) did not practice on Thursday.
    Charbonnet is now firmly on the wrong side of questionable. The Seahawks will likely be without their No. 2 running back, setting up Kenneth Walker III for a large workload against the Saints in Week 3. The Seahawks list RB George Holani in the No. 3 role, behind Charbonnet.
  • BUF Defensive Tackle #91
    Bills declared DT Ed Oliver, LB Matt Milano, DB Jordan Hancock, CB Ja’Marcus Ingram, WR Curtis Samuel, DE Landon Jackson and OL Chase Lundt inactive for Week 3 against the Dolphins.
    Oliver is nursing an ankle injury and Milano is rehabbing a pectoral injury. Their absences thin out the Bills’ interior defense, and Dolphins RB De’Von Achane fared well against this unit last year. He’s primed for another big game here. The Bills’ passing offense will survive Samuel’s absence. He has not yet suited up on game day this season.
  • MIA Tight End #83
    Dolphins declared TE Darren Waller, QB Quinn Ewers, S Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB Juju Brents, CB Storm Duck, DT Zeek Biggers and WR Tahj Washington inactive for Week 3 against the Bills.
    The 33-year-old tight end will try again next week. He remained limited through all three practices this week, which seemingly gives him decent odds of suiting up against the Jets in Week 4. The Dolphins’ injury-depleted secondary should allow the Bills to throw the ball efficiently, albeit in a likely run-heavy game script.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #17
    Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) said that he will play in Week 3 against the Bills.
    The Dolphins are 12.0-point road underdogs, signaling a likely pass-heavy game script for Miami. Although we would prefer that the Dolphins score touchdowns in bunches, a tilted game script that features their speedy pass catchers will suffice. Waddle is a borderline WR2/3 for this week’s Thursday Night Football game.
  • GB Tight End #85
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Packers TE Tucker Kraft is believed to be “all good” after undergoing tests today.
    One source tells Schefter that Kraft had “a little scare” today, while another adds that they “think he will be OK.” It sounds like Kraft is not expected to miss an extended period of time, but these positive, yet ambiguous, remarks leave room for interpretation. Fantasy managers should still make backup plans for Week 3 at this time.
  • PHI Defensive Tackle #98
    Eagles DT Jalen Carter (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday.
    The Rams’ offensive line health is improving but LG Steve Avila remains sidelined by an ankle injury. His absence could be costly with Carter’s health improving. The Week 3 matchup between the Eagles and Rams might be a pass-heavy affair, which would bode positively for Carter’s sack productivity.
