Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Chiefs. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday and will be a game-time call, according to HC Todd Bowles. We’d try to leave Jones on fantasy benches until we see him make it through a game healthy.
The Eagles have ruled CB Avonte Maddox (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Maddox injured an ankle in Thursday's practice and then missed Friday's workout. His absence improves the matchup for Jacksonville slot WR Christian Kirk.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Jones returned to a limited practice last Friday and was reportedly a game-time decision for the Packers game before ending up inactive. It seems like he has a shot to play vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night -- although he wouldn't be a great fantasy play if WR Chris Godwin also returns for that one.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley was the team’s lone standout in Monday’s loss to Dallas, rushing 14 times for 81 yards and 1 score. The highlight was a 36-yard scoring dash that showcased his speed and vision. Barkley added 4 grabs for 45 yards, although his 10.8% target share disappointed a bit. Still, through 3 games, his target share sits at nearly 18%. With Sterling Shepard now done for the year (ACL), that number could rise for Barkley. Next up is a home game vs. Chicago.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith led the team in targets (12), receptions (8) and receiving yards (169) in Sunday's win over the Commanders. He grabbed 1 of Jalen Hurts' 3 TD passes, leaving 1 apiece for WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert. Brown checked in 2nd in the other 3 categories, tallying a 5-85-1 receiving line on 10 targets. Goedert managed just 3-26-1 on 4 looks in a game he left briefly with a shin issue. Smith looks like he'll reside much closer to Brown in target share than the opener in Detroit suggested.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts delivered his 3rd straight top-4 fantasy performance to open the season -- pending Monday night's results -- with a big outing in the win over Washington. Hurts had light rushing day, collecting just 20 yards on 98 attempts. But he racked up 340 yards and 3 TDs passing, with no turnovers. Hurts found WR DeVonta Smith, WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert for scores -- all in the 2nd quarter. He gets non-scary matchups with the Jaguars and Cardinals the next 2 weeks, with likely the biggest challenge so far looming in a Week 6 home date with Dallas.
Bucs HC Todd Bowles said Monday that he expects WR Julio Jones (knee) to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. Jones is reportedly working through a partially torn PCL but had a shot to play this past week. So, barring a setback this week, he should be ready to go for Sunday night. How much he does in practice this week will go a long way toward determining whether we can trust him in fantasy lineups.
With WR Jakobi Meyers out, Patriots WR DeVante Parker led the team in targets (10), receptions (5) and receiving yards (156) in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Each of Parker's 5 catches went for 24+ yards, which is a credit to him and a reminder that this Baltimore defense is once again looking like a high-ceiling matchup for opponent passing. Kendrick Bourne checked in 2nd among wideouts with 4-58 on 5 targets. Nelson Agholor caught 2 of 3 targets for 41 yards. Lil'Jordan Humphrey actually checked in 2nd among WRs in playing time and routes but garnered just 1 target.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered a shin injury in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. Washington and is officially questionable to return. We'll pass along an update when we get one.
Update: Goedert returned in the 3rd quarter.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Packers. Reportedly dealing with a partially torn PCL, Jones did get in a limited practice on Friday and has a shot to return for Week 4.
Bucs WR Julio Jones' knee injury is a partially torn PCL, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports. That's an injury that doesn't require surgery but needs time to heal. Jones remains a game-time decision for this afternoon's tilt with the Packers, but we'd stay away from him in Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is a game-time decision for today's meeting with the Packers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears the same and adds, "there is less optimism" about Jones' chances of playing than teammates Russell Gage and Breshad Perriman. We won't get Tampa Bay's inactives until around 3 pm ET today -- and Jones will be a high-risk fantasy option if he ends up playing.
49ers RB Ty Davis-Price (ankle) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Broncos. He figures to miss multiple weeks with his high-ankle sprain. Jeff Wilson will lead the backfield in Denver, with Jordan Mason and Marlon Mack behind him. We’ll see if RB Tevin Coleman is elevated from the practice squad before kickoff.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after sitting out the previous 2 days. HC Todd Bowles labeled Jones a game-time decision. Bucs-Packers doesn’t kick off until 4:25 pm ET, but we’ll look for an update on Jones’ status on Sunday morning. Of course, he’ll be a risky fantasy play if he suits up at less than 100%.
The Colts have ruled LB Shaquille Leonard out for the 3rd straight game as he continues to work back from June back surgery. Leonard's continued absence leaves E.J. Speed in the lineup and Zaire Franklin joining Bobby Okereke as full-timers at LB.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown still led the team in targets in Week 2, but his 8 looks merely beat WR DeVonta Smith by 1 and TE Dallas Goedert by 2. Brown caught 5 balls for 69 yards in the easy win over Minnesota. Smith caught all 7 of his targets for 80 yards, while Goedert supplied 5 receptions for a team-high 82 yards. QB Jalen Hurts spread his other 10 pass attempts among 5 teammates. WR Quez Watkins caught the night's only TD pass, a 53-yarder that was 1 of his 2 receptions on 2 targets. Brown's share marked a predictable fall from the heights of Week 1, but he still garnered 25.8% target share vs. Minnesota.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts enjoyed a big night in Monday's one-sided victory over Minnesota. He completed 26 of 33 passes for 333 yards, with a 53-yard TD to WR Quez Watkins and 1 INT. Hurts added 57 yards and a pair of scores on 11 carries, ranking 3rd among fantasy QBs for Week 2. Hurts' TD runs came from 3 and 26 yards out. Favorable matchups with Washington, Jacksonville and Arizona sit in the next 3 weeks.
49ers RB Ty Davis-Price suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Seahawks, HC Kyle Shanahan said. That injury typically costs guys 4-6 weeks. Davis-Price handled 14 carries behind RB Jeff Wilson's 18 in Week 2. San Francisco is now down to RBs Jordan Mason and Marlon Mack behind Wilson. Mason has been active the first 2 weeks but has yet to play an offensive snap. Mack couldn't make Houston's final roster. Wilson has a good chance to control backfield work until RB Elijah Mitchell returns from his knee injury.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley took a step back in Week 2, totaling 21 carries for 72 yards and 3 catches for 16 yards. Surprisingly, 65 of his rushing yards came in the 2nd half alone. The Giants fired off a whopping 70 plays but scored only 1 TD against Carolina. Barkley could have had a massive receiving day, as he led all Week 2 RBs with 34 routes run. He tallied just 4 targets, though, despite New York’s issues at WR. Continue to ride Barkley as an RB1 for a Monday night tilt vs. Dallas.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. He’s reportedly dealing with a bone bruise. We’ll see if Jones can make it back for Week 3.
