Noah Fant • TE • Seahawks

Noah Fant Limited By Toe Injury Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Fant played a season-high 81 percent of snaps last Sunday but seems to have come out of Week 2 with a toe issue. Even if it's minor, it will be something worth monitoring as the week progresses and the Seahawks release their official injury designations for their upcoming contest in Miami. Fant's production has been underwhelming this year as he has caught just three of seven targets for 25 yards and zero touchdowns. He can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.

Tyler Lockett Limited In Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. The bad news is that Lockett is dealing with an injury or ailment. The good news is that it's common for veteran players to miss practice on Wednesday as they heal a minor injury and rest. Plus, there's still two more days of practice for Lockett to return in a full capacity. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but can have optimism that he'll suit up in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. The 31-year-old had a big Week 1 but took a backseat to DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in New England last Sunday. Lockett is a high-end fantasy WR4 at the moment.

Kenneth Walker III Remains Sidelined For Wednesday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. As the Seahawks prepare for Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins, they're at risk of being without their star running back. The 23-year-old ran free for 103 yards and a touchdown during the Seahawks' season opener, but he emerged from Week 1 with an oblique injury and didn't play last week against New England. When healthy, he's a low-end RB1 option. However, injuries have plagued his young career, and if he isn't able to get back on the practice field in the next couple of days, fantasy managers can expect another week of Zach Charbonnet leading Seattle's backfield.

DK Metcalf Absent As Week 3 Preparation Begins

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (hand) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. The star pass-catcher bounced back from a quiet season opener by catching 10 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown last Sunday. Now, as the Seahawks begin preparation for Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins, Metcalf is nursing an injury. As of now, it's too early to say whether he might miss Sunday's contest. It's possible Seattle is being extra cautious with Metcalf and just giving him extra time to rest or heal. On the other hand, it's always a concern when a player misses practice. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as NFL Sunday gets closer. If he plays, he's a strong WR2 option.

Greg Dulcich • TE • Broncos

Greg Dulcich Gets Limited Tag

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (knee/ankle) was limited at the team's practice to open up the week. Dulcich hauled in three catches for 16 yards in Denver's 13-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 and was unable to leave the contest unscathed -- sustaining not one but two injuries. It's nice to see him at least get in a little bit of work Wednesday, but it's even more intriguing that he led the team in targets in the team's defeat. Injuries have been the theme of the 24-year-old's young career, but for now, he's trending in the right direction leading up to the Broncos' Week 3 road tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The UCLA product will be a touchdown-dependent option in that matchup and moving forward until there is more consistency in his offensive role.

Pierre Strong Jr. • RB • Browns

Pierre Strong Jr. Not Practicing Wednesday

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. (hamstring) was officially a non-participant in the Browns' Wednesday practice. The third-year RB suffered the injury in Cleveland's 18-13 road victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Strong would be week-to-week; thus, it stands to reason that he could miss at least one game. On the season so far, he's toted the rock just three times for five yards, though he does lead backfield mates D'Onta Foreman and Jerome Ford in receiving yards (30) on three catches. Strong also contributes in the return game, totaling 25 yards on his lone kickoff return. Expect Ford and Foreman to divvy up Strong's touches while he is on the shelf, with Jaelon Darden and James Proche II handling return duties. Cleveland will face off against the Browns at home this Sunday.

Rome Odunze • WR • Bears

Rome Odunze Limited To Start The Week

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (knee) was officially a limited participant on Wednesday ahead of the third week of NFL action. Odunze suffered the injury during Chicago's Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. However, he was still able to suit up in Week 2, finishing his day with two catches and 33 yards on 94% of snaps. It's encouraging for the rookie's prospects of being able to dress for Sunday's road matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. On the other hand, teammate Keenan Allen (heel) was held out of practice yet again to start the week. If the rookie wideout can play, he projects to be quarterback Caleb Williams' second option in the passing attack against a porous Colts defense. Still, he'll be tough to trust as a viable option until his first-year signal-caller exhibits a bit more poise in the pocket.

Deonte Harty • WR • Ravens

Deonte Harty Limited Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver and return specialist Deonte Harty (calf) was listed as a limited participant on the team's first injury report of the week. It's unknown when he picked up the injury, though it presumably occurred in the Ravens' 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday. It's a good sign for Harty to at least get in some practice to begin the week ahead of a Week 3 road matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old and the rest of Baltimore's squad will look to get into the win column for the first time this season in a tilt that presents with a 48-point implied total between the two high-powered offenses. Despite the lofty score total, Harty can be left alone even with his likely contributions in the return game. He's recorded just 18 yards over two punt returns thus far in 2024.

Joey Slye • K • Patriots

Joey Slye A Solid Streamer For Week 3

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye has positioned himself as a solid fantasy football waiver wire addition for Week 3. When the Patriots face the New York Jets on Thursday night, Slye is a candidate to exceed his project point total. For starters, the Patriots offense has afforded Slye several opportunities to kick for points this year. He has three extra points through two games and is a solid 5-for-6 on field goals. Furthermore, the Jets are a terrific matchup for Slye. New York has allowed the third-most kicking points to opposing kickers this year. They allowed 49ers kicker Jake Moody to connect on six field goals in Week 1, and Nick Folk nailed a 41-yarder against the Jets last Sunday. Slye should be treated as a fringe top-12 scorer at his position in Week 3, making him a solid streaming option if you're looking to make a change at the kicker slot.

Greg Zuerlein • K • Jets

Greg Zuerlein A Low-End Option In Week 3

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein has been quiet through the first two weeks of the season, having attempted just one field goal over that span. He will hope for a larger workload against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. Zuerlein was a solid fantasy kicker in 2023 as he missed just three of his 38 field-goal attempts but he is hard to trust in fantasy this season until the Jets start affording him more chances.

Antonio Gibson • RB • Patriots

Antonio Gibson Sneaks Onto Fantasy Radar In Week 3

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson has emerged as an intriguing fantasy option ahead of his Week 3 clash against the New York Jets. Gibson was particularly productive last Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, rushing for 96 yards on 11 carries. Typically viewed as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, Gibson has been almost exclusively used on the ground with the Patriots this season. He offers great burst and change of pace behind lead back Rhamondre Stevenson. The big concern with Gibson is playing time. He registered a dozen touches last week, but he only played 24 percent of offensive snaps. It's difficult to play less than one-quarter of the snaps and have consistent fantasy relevance. Nevertheless, Gibson proved last week that he's capable of producing fantasy points, putting him on the radar as a fringe top-36 running back this week. Interestingly, for perhaps the first time in his career, he might rank higher in standard leagues than in PPR formats.

Tyler Allgeier • RB • Falcons

Tyler Allgeier Limited On Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Allgeier has been a solid complement to Bijan Robinson in the Falcons' backfield thus far this season. The Falcons' run game was particularly potent in Monday night's victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. Allgeier carried the ball nine times for 53 yards in Week 2. He has 12 carries for 74 yards on the season. If Allgeier is limited or cannot play this weekend then Robinson projects to see an even larger workload than usual.

Tyler Conklin • TE • Jets

Tyler Conklin Not A Recommended Option In Week 3

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin has struggled to make an impact through the first two weeks of the season, having caught just two passes for 16 yards thus far. Conklin will look to reverse his fortunes in Week 3's Thursday night game against the New England Patriots. The Patriots have been stingy against fantasy tight ends through two weeks as they are allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. The tough matchup paired with the lack of production makes Conklin a stay-away in fantasy in Week 3.

Allen Lazard • WR • Jets

Allen Lazard A Low-End Flex Option In Week 3

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard caught two touchdown passes in Week 1 but was unable to recreate the magic in Week 2, finishing with just two catches for 11 yards. He will look to bounce back against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. The Patriots have struggled to contain opposing wideouts through two games this season, giving Lazard a sliver of hope for a big outing. That being said, he falls into the desperation flex category heading into Week 3 because of his inconsistency in the Jets offense.

Josh Downs • WR • Colts

Josh Downs Practices Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Downs had yet to take the field this season due to the injury. After previously stating that he plans to play in Week 3, Downs' official practice participation suggests that that is true. Downs is a talented young receiver for an offense that is growing together. He recorded 68 receptions for 771 yards and two touchdowns in 2023. Downs is not someone you should start in Week 3 but he is worth a stash if you have space on your bench. Either way, he should substantially help quarterback Anthony Richardson as a short-yardage target.

Mike Williams • WR • Jets

Mike Williams Not A Recommended Option In Week 3

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams made his first catch of the season in Week 2, hauling in a 19-yard pass in a win over the Tennessee Titans. He will look to make a bigger impact against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. Williams, who tore his ACL early in the 2023 season, is trending in the right direction as he was in on 64.9% of the snaps in Week 2 after playing just 17.6% of the snaps in the season opener. The Patriots have been generous to opposing wide receivers through two weeks and are fresh off allowing both DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to post 100-yard games last week. That being said, until Williams shows he is a bigger piece of the offense, he is just a desperation flex in fantasy.

Garrett Wilson • WR • Jets

Garrett Wilson A Low-End WR1 In Week 3

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has yet to post a ceiling game in 2024, having caught just 10 passes for 117 yards through two games thus far. He will look to make a bigger impact in the box score against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. Wilson could very well break out against a Pats defense that is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game through the first two weeks of the season and is fresh off getting shredded by DK Metcalf (10 catches for 129 yards and a touchdown) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (12-117-0). Wilson is a lock for starting lineups as a low-end WR1 in fantasy heading into Thursday night.

Jordan Addison • WR • Vikings

Jordan Addison Absent From Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Addison continues to recover from the ankle injury he suffered in Week 1. Addison had a highly productive rookie year that saw him score ten receiving touchdowns. His sophomore year has not gotten off to the start that many had hoped. If Addison cannot ramp up his activity as the week progresses then he will be in danger of missing another game. Practice reports over the next two days will be important for fantasy managers to monitor.

Braelon Allen • RB • Jets

Braelon Allen On The Radar As A Flex Option In Week 3

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen had a big afternoon in his team's win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2, finding the end zone twice in the victory. Allen will look to keep it going in Week 3's Thursday night game against the New England Patriots. The Patriots are allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs through two weeks but they have given up two rushing touchdowns already. Allen's workload could fluctuate from week to week as he is still the backup behind Breece Hall but he is at least on the radar as an RB3/flex option heading into Week 3.

Breece Hall • RB • Jets

Breece Hall A Top-Five RB Heading Into Week 3

New York Jets running back Breece Hall found the end zone for the second straight game in a Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. He will look to extend that streak at home against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. Hall will have his work cut out for him against the Pats as their defense is allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to fantasy running backs through the first two weeks of the season. They have yet to allow a running back to top 44 rushing yards against them, although they have allowed two rushing touchdowns thus far. Hall has been productive in the passing game this season with 12 catches for 91 yards and has shown a nose for the end zone thus far, making him a high-end RB1 heading into Week 3.
