Bengals | Joe Burrow a full participant Wed Sep 27, 05:48 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Burrow doesn't look like himself, but the Bengals started him last week and won. Against the Titans in Week 4, we can only recommend a banged-up Burrow as a QB2 option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. |

Ravens | Gus Edwards practices Wednesday Wed Sep 27, 05:20 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Gus Edwards (concussion) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: That's good news for the Ravens. They've got injuries at the position, and are down to guys like Melvin Gordon behind Edwards. A full participation on Wednesday is a good sign Edwards will be available in Week 4 against the Browns. |
Gus Edwards player page
Saints | Derek Carr misses practice Wed Sep 27, 05:05 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Carr is considered week-to-week with this shoulder injury. That means Jameis Winston could be starting against his old team (Buccaneers) on Sunday. |
Derek Carr player page
Packers | Christian Watson's status in question Wed Sep 27, 04:48 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 4.
| Footballguys view: The Packers have a short week since they play on Thursday night against the Lions. That doesn't mean much for Watson though as he's yet to play this season. He's closer to returning, but his status is up in the air for Week 4. |
Packers | Aaron Jones listed as questionable Wed Sep 27, 04:47 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 4.
| Footballguys view: Jones is close to returning, but hamstring injuries can linger. He didn't play in Week 3, so even on a short week (Thursday night against the Lions) Jones might be out there. He's at least flex worthy if the veteran back plays in Week 4. |
Aaron Jones player page
Lions | Questionable tag for David Montgomery Wed Sep 27, 04:06 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 4. The Lions did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
| Footballguys view: The Lions play on Thursday night, and it looks like Montgomery will be out there against the Packers. If he does play in Week 4, we'll see how much Montgomery cuts into the touches for RB Jahmyr Gibbs. |
David Montgomery player page
Colts | Anthony Richardson a full participant Wed Sep 27, 03:54 PM
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (concussion) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: In the protocol, Richardson will have to practice as he did on Wednesday and then go through testing to see how he responds the next day. We imagine Richardson should be able to play in Week 4 against the Rams. If he needs to miss more time, QB Gardner Minshew will start again. If Richardson plays, Fantasy GMs are likely to start him as the upside as a QB1 is always there when he's on the field. We just want to see Richardson get through a full game without getting banged up. |
Panthers | Full practice for Bryce Young Wed Sep 27, 03:31 PM
Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Young missed last week's game against Seattle, and veteran QB Andy Dalton moved the offense effectively through the air (361 passing yards) in the loss. This week, it looks like the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft is going to be out there again. We'll see if he structures his targets differently after watching from the sidelines. Dalton made guys like WR Adam Thielen (11-145-1) and WR DJ Chark (4-86-1) viable fantasy plays. Young against the Vikings in Week 4 is only a wait-and-see option for Fantasy GMs - even in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. |
Panthers | Miles Sanders listed as limited Wed Sep 27, 03:27 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (groin) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Sanders' carries have gone down (18,14,9) each week this season. However, his work as a receiver out of the backfield keeps him involved in the offense. He's a talented back, but Sanders has been banged up with a pectoral injury that limited him last week and now a groin injury this week. Friday will be the big day to see if Sanders can practice as the team gets ready to take on the winless Vikings in Week 4. |
Miles Sanders player page
Panthers | DJ Chark receives day off Wed Sep 27, 03:22 PM
Carolina Panthers WR DJ Chark Jr. (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Chark is getting a day of rest here. Let's see what he can do on Friday, and Fantasy GMs also need to monitor the status of QB Bryce Young. If veteran backup QB Andy Dalton plays, that could mean more robust numbers for the passing game including guys like Chark. With Dalton slinging the rock in Week 3, Chark caught four passes for 86 yards and one touchdown. Dalton targeted Chark 11 times, while Young (in Week 2) targeted Chark just one time. |
D.J. Chark Jr player page
Ravens | Two Ravens WRs not practicing Wed Sep 27, 02:58 PM
Baltimore Ravens WRs Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Beckham was inactive for Week 3 against the Colts, but he could be limited on Friday and still be good to go for Week 4 against the Browns. Bateman played against the Colts, but he didn't do much (one catch, six yards) before this hamstring injury knocked him out of the contest. If Bateman and Beckham can't play in Week 4 (or are limited), that means more opportunity for rookie WR Zay Flowers (who we love) and veteran WR Nelson Agholor. |
Odell Beckham Jr player page
Rashod Bateman player page
Jaguars | Zay Jones a 'long shot' to play Wed Sep 27, 01:55 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) is a 'long shot' to play in Week 4, head coach Doug Pederson said on Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Jones hasn't played since Week 2, and it looks like he needs more time to heal. Without Jones, the Jaguars will lean more on Christian Kirk in the passing game. Kirk is worth considering at least as a flex play in Week 4 against the Falcons. |
Zay Jones player page
Browns | Kareem Hunt won't practice Wednesday Wed Sep 27, 01:16 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Kareem Hunt (ribs, groin) will not practice on Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Well, that didn't take long. Hunt was signed off the free agent wire last week, and Fantasy GMs were wondering how he would cut into the workload for Jerome Ford. Now, Hunt is banged up so that just means more from Ford and perhaps some Pierre Strong in the Browns' backfield. |
Kareem Hunt player page
Dolphins | Jaylen Waddle to practice in full Wed Sep 27, 01:09 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) will practice in full on Wednesday, Sept. 27, and if all goes well he will be cleared for Week 4, head coach Mike McDaniel said.
| Footballguys view: Waddle missed last week's game against the Broncos, and the Dolphins scored 70 points. They're facing a much better-coached team this weekend against the Bills. Having Waddle back out there (most likely) is a boost for the league's best offense. |
Jaylen Waddle player page
Panthers | Bryce Young to practice Wed Sep 27, 12:35 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: Young missed Week 3 so Andy Dalton got the start for the Panthers. This week, Young will test the ankle out in practice. We'll see what he can do by Friday. |
Colts | Anthony Richardson to practice Wed Sep 27, 11:29 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol, but he will take starter repetitions in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
| Footballguys view: In the protocol, Richardson will have to practice as he did on Wednesday and then go through testing to see how he responds the next day. We imagine Richardson should be able to play in Week 4 against the Rams. If he needs to miss more time, QB Gardner Minshew will start again. If Richardson plays, Fantasy GMs are likely to start him as the upside as a QB1 is always there when he's on the field. We just want to see Richardson get through a full game without getting banged up. |
Jets | Mass frustration with Zach Wilson in New York? Wed Sep 27, 12:06 AM
New York Jets QB Zach Wilson's play has caused a great deal of unrest in the locker room and there is some feeling that head coach Robert Saleh is 'coming off as a Zach apologist,' according to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
| Footballguys view: The Jets are likely to move on from Wilson as their starter in the near future. Matt Ryan doesn't want to play for them according to reports, while Colin Kaepernick does want to play for the Jets. The team signed veteran QB Trevor Siemian to their practice squad, and he's got enough experience to take over if they want him to. Wilson has been terrible as the team's starter, and their hopes for 2023 went down when QB Aaron Rodgers was lost for the season after a small handful of plays in Week 1. |
Zach Wilson player page
Packers | Aaron Jones likely back after two-game absence Tue Sep 26, 02:45 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) will play against the Detroit Lions in Week 4, according to teammate Romeo Doubs.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Packers here if it happens. We'll monitor Jones' status during the week of practice, which is a short week since the Packers play on the Lions on Thursday night in Week 4. AJ Dillon has not been good with more time, so Jones will be a welcome return to an offense that has more potential. |
Aaron Jones player page
Packers | Christian Watson expects to make season debut Tue Sep 26, 02:26 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) told reporters 'that's the plan' when he was asked if he was playing against the Detroit Lions in Week 4 on Tuesday, Sept. 26.
| Footballguys view: Watson can be the no.1 receiver for the Packers if healthy and playing up to his full potential. That could free up coverage for Romeo Doubs on the other side. Doubs has been a fine player for the Packers this year, but we'll have to see how the targets are spread around from QB Jordan Love when Watson is able to get out there. |
Lions | David Montgomery looking good for Week 4? Tue Sep 26, 02:08 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) appears to be on the right track to play in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, according to comments from head coach Dan Campbell on Tuesday, Sept. 26.
| Footballguys view: The Lions play against the Packers on Thursday night. Montgomery could be back out there as their lead back, but the Lions should still mix things up with an RBBC featuring rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs as well. When Montgomery returns, Craig Reynolds should get a smaller role. |
David Montgomery player page
Jets | Trevor Siemian agrees with Jets Tue Sep 26, 12:53 PM
Free-agent QB Trevor Siemian (Bengals) agreed to an undisclosed contract with the New York Jets Tuesday, Sept. 26, pending a physical.
| Footballguys view: Zach Wilson has not been great this season, so the Jets are bringing in a solid veteran with a ton of starting experience. Siemian isn't great, but he's a tough player who will run the offense as designed. He might prove to be an upgrade over the former no.2 overall pick from the 2021 NFL draft. |
Trevor Siemian player page
Eagles | Jalen Hurts played through illness Tue Sep 26, 09:43 AM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (illness) played Monday, Sept. 25, through flu-like symptoms. C Jason Kelce said there were a number of players on the team that were sick.
| Footballguys view: Hurts completed 23-of-37 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Eagles' 25-11, Week 3 win over the Buccaneers. He also had 10 carries for 28 yards and a touchdown. That's a pretty good performance for a player battling illness. He should be feeling better for the Week 4 home matchup against the Commanders on Sunday. |
Jalen Hurts player page
Patriots | Mac Jones likely to avoid suspension Tue Sep 26, 09:36 AM
New England Patriots QB Mac Jones is likely to avoid a suspension for allegedly hitting New York Jets CB Sauce Gardner in the groin in the Week 3 game.
| Footballguys view: We've seen this before from Jones, and some think he's one of the dirtiest players in the league. From a fantasy perspective, Jones has been decent in start-2QB/Superflex leagues this season. In Week 4 against the Cowboys, Jones might be a tough start even in those formats. |
Mac Jones player page
Browns | Devin Asiasi to Browns practice squad Mon Sep 25, 03:21 PM
Free-agent TE Devin Asiasi (Browns) is signing with the Cleveland Browns practice squad, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
| Footballguys view: Asiasi worked out for the Browns last week, and they decided to give him a shot. A former third-round pick (2020) of the Patriots, Asiasi was known as a receiving threat at UCLA but he's done little as a pro in that department (four career catches). |
Devin Asiasi player page
Ravens | Josh Johnson returns to Baltimore Mon Sep 25, 03:18 PM
Free-agent QB Josh Johnson (Ravens) is re-signing with the Baltimore Ravens, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
| Footballguys view: Johnson has been on about half the rosters in the NFL, and he's been with the Ravens a few times over the course of his career. He'll work as the team's no.3 quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. |
Josh Johnson player page
Colts | Anthony Richardson still in protocol Mon Sep 25, 03:10 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (concussion) is still in the concussion protocol, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
| Footballguys view: The Colts went with Garnder Minshew in Week 3, and they won against the Ravens in overtime. Minshew is a solid veteran backup who can be an effective starter if they need him. Richardson will work his way through the league's concussion protocol and could be available this week. |
Dolphins | Jaylen Waddle progressing Mon Sep 25, 03:06 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is still in the concussion protocol but the team is optimistic about his progress, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins didn't need Waddle on Sunday as they dropped 70 points on the Broncos' defense. Waddle seemed to be close to returning in Week 3, so we feel good about his availability for Week 4. |
Jaylen Waddle player page
Saints | Derek Carr week-to-week Mon Sep 25, 01:42 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) is considered week-to-week with a sprained AC joint but has not been ruled out yet in Week 4, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
| Footballguys view: Carr is unlikely to be ready in Week 4 as he's dealing with a sprained AC joint. That means Jameis Winston gets to start against his old team (Buccaneers) on Sunday. |
Derek Carr player page
Raiders | Jimmy Garoppolo in concussion protocol Mon Sep 25, 01:37 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) is in the concussion protocol, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
| Footballguys view: We'll see how he progresses during the week. The Raiders have veteran Brian Hoyer as their primary backup, and he's got plenty of starting experience if Garoppolo can't play in Week 4. However, we like rookie QB Aidan O'Connell, and we'd love to see him get an opportunity as a starter in this league. Before the draft, there were some who considered him a sleeper coming out of Purdue. He performed well at the Shrine Bowl, and O'Connell also flashed starter's ability in the preseason. |
Jimmy Garoppolo player page
Chargers | Mike Williams has torn ACL Mon Sep 25, 12:17 PM
Updating previous reports, Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 3, and his season is over.
| Footballguys view: Big Mike Williams is a fantastic player when he's healthy, but he does get injured quite a bit as a pro. Now, he's dealing with a serious injury that will cost him the rest of the 2023 season. Williams has a $32 million cap hit in 2024, but the team could move on from him and eat $12 million in dead money. The Chargers will move forward with Joshua Palmer and rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston as no.2 and no.3 options behind Keenan Allen. |
Mike Williams player page
Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes OK Mon Sep 25, 11:39 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is 'all good' after rolling his ankle in the Week 3 game, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes has played through nagging ankle problems before. He could be limited this week in practice to give him some rest, but he should be out there slinging passes all over the field for the Chiefs in Week 4. |
Patrick Mahomes II player page
Chargers | Joshua Kelley disappoints yet again Sun Sep 24, 07:37 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Joshua Kelley rushed 11 times for just 12 yards in his second straight start in place of the injured RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. He added a 5-yard catch on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: Kelley did get a chance to score in short yardage, but the Vikings run defense came to life after being humiliated by the Eagles last week and the Chargers were doing a much better job moving the ball through the air. Even if Austin Ekeler doesn't play next week (the Chargers bye is in Week 5), Kelley is only a what the heck flex coming off of two duds as the starter. |
Joshua Kelley player page
Chargers | Keenan Allen goes crazy in Week 3 Sun Sep 24, 07:34 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen posted 18 receptions for a career-high 215 yards on 20 targets in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, and he also threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to WR Mike Williams.
| Footballguys view: Allen has already been the focal point of the Chargers passing game, that should only increase with Mike Williams going down due to a leg injury. Allen might be a first round pick if drafts were held next week. As long as he stays healthy, he'll be one of the biggest value picks of 2023 even though he cost you a third round pick in most drafts. |
Keenan Allen player page
Chargers | Justin Herbert goes over 400 yards Sun Sep 24, 07:28 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 40-of-47 passes for 405 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. He set a career best with 26 first-half receptions, he has set the franchise record with 213 consecutive attempts and counting without an interception, and he is the second-fastest player in NFL history to reach 15,000 passing yards, in his 52nd career regular-season game. He is also the fourth-fastest player to reach the 100-touchdown mark.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers went pass heavy even though they were successfully run heavy in Week 1 against Miami and the Eagles ran all over the Vikings last week. Herbert might be missing Mike Williams for a while, but his tight ends and #3 receiver picked up the slack. He's leveling off as a solid QB1 under the guidance of Kellen Moore. |
Justin Herbert player page
Packers | Six grabs for Luke Musgrave Sun Sep 24, 07:14 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Luke Musgrave ended up with six receptions for 49 yards on eight targets in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints.
| Footballguys view: Musgrave was open for a big play that would have gone for 40-50 yards, if not a touchdown, but Jordan Love missed him. His value is trending up and he's worth a look as your TE1 this week on Thursday against the Lions. Make sure Musgrave isn't on your waiver wire. |
Packers | Romeo Doubs gets into the end zone Sun Sep 24, 07:06 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs posted five grabs for 73 yards and a touchdown on a game-high 12 targets in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints.
| Footballguys view: Doubs caught the game winning score on a trust throw from Jordan Love with perfect timing into tight coverage. Christian Watson may not be ready for Thursday night against the Lions and either way with Jordan Love shaking off a poor start to post a very strong finish, Doubs should be in consideration as a WR3/Flex next week. |
Bears | Justin Fields woozy after rush attempt Sun Sep 24, 06:56 PM
Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields (head) left the Week 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs after appearing visibly shaken up after a hard hit on a rushing attempt in the red zone. WR DJ Moore actually grabbed him, and ushered the quarterback to the sideline. It was a tough day for Fields and the Chicago offense, as he completed just 6-of-16 passes for 42 yards, no touchdowns and an interception, while running 10 times for 46 yards, before departing.
| Footballguys view: Fields and the Bears offense isn't just plateauing, it is regressing. The Chiefs defense will make a lot of offenses look bad this year, and at least the Bears are facing the Broncos at an even lower point in their season arc, but Fields is on fantasy benches until further notice. The good news if you have Fields is that this is identical to last year, and anyone who dropped Fields regretted it as he was a strong QB1 from Week 5 on. |
Justin Fields player page
Saints | Derek Carr expected back this season Sun Sep 24, 06:39 PM
Updating previous report, New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr's (shoulder) shoulder injury is not believed to be as serious as initially feared, and is he is expected to return to the lineup at some point this season, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: It still sounds like Jameis Winston will be the Saints quarterback in Week 4 and a while beyond. Winston wasn't very aggressive with the ball, but he entered with the team leading 17-0. The Saints have one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league, so hopefully this won't be too damaging for Chris Olave and Michael Thomas's value. |
Derek Carr player page
Jaguars | Calvin Ridley held in check Sun Sep 24, 06:29 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Calvin Ridley caught three passes for 40 yards against the Houston Texans in Week 3. He was targeted seven times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Ridley was huge in Week 1, quiet in Week 2, and expected to be excellent against a Texans secondary missing one of their best corners. Instead, he was a disappointment along with the rest of the Jaguars passing game. He'll face his old team next week and projects as a boom/bust WR2 against Atlanta. |
Calvin Ridley player page
Jaguars | Christian Kirk reaches end zone Sun Sep 24, 06:26 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Christian Kirk caught four passes for 54 yards and one touchdown against the Houston Texans in Week 3. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Kirk's touchdown saved what would have been a big letdown on a day that was supposed to be big because Zay Jones was sitting and Kirk was facing a vulnerable Texans pass defense. We'll probably leave Kirk in as a WR3/Flex next week, but check practice reports for Jones' status. |
Christian Kirk player page
Jaguars | Travis Etienne productive in Week 3 Sun Sep 24, 06:10 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne rushed for 88 yards on 19 carries against the Houston Texans in Week 3. He also caught four passes for 50 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Unfortunately for Etienne'e fantasy teams, Tank Bigsby got the short touchdown run, which has already happened twice this year. The Texans defense did at least stick to their trend of giving up big games to opposing backfields. The Steelers will be up next for Houston, so perhaps we can get something out of a Pittsburgh back for fantasy. Etienne will face Atlanta and is still looking like a solid pick at ADP. |
Travis Etienne Jr. player page
Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence throws for 279 yards Sun Sep 24, 06:10 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence went 27-for-40 for 279 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Houston Texans in Week 3. He also rushed for 12 yards on three carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence was one of the biggest disappointments of the day against a Texans defense that was very easy to move the ball against last week vs. Colts. Lawrence will face the up and down Falcons defense next week and isn't a sure QB1 for fantasy until he builds some momentum. |
Trevor Lawrence player page
Texans | Outstanding game for Tank Dell Sun Sep 24, 05:57 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell caught five passes for 145 yards and one touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. He was targeted seven times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Dell reeled in two deep balls, one inside the five, and one long score that iced the game. He shouldn't be on any waiver wires, and against the Steelers next week, he should probably be in lineups. Dell has a chance to be the most valuable rookie receiver in redraft leagues if this connection with fellow rookie C.J. Stroud persists. |
Dolphins | Tyreek Hill goes big yet again Sun Sep 24, 05:57 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Tyreek Hill finished with nine grabs for a game-high 157 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: This is becoming routine for Hill, who is the epitome of the old "you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him". The Broncos didn't contain Hill today. The Bills will try to next week. |
Tyreek Hill player page
Texans | Dameon Pierce reaches end zone Sun Sep 24, 05:55 PM
Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce rushed for 31 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. He also caught three passes for 28 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Pierce's touchdown was set up by a deep ball to Tank Fell inside the five, so if it wasn't for that, it would have been another dud for him, even in a comfortable win by the Texans. The Jaguars run defense deserves some recognition, and Pierce's value is still trending up after his team showed themselves to be much more competitive than expected. Consider him a flex play against the Steelers next week. |
Texans | C.J. Stroud plays well in Week 3 Sun Sep 24, 05:54 PM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud went 20-for-30 for 280 yards and two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. He also rushed for 14 yards on three carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Stroud didn't have to air it out because the Texans defense and special teams helped them lead for almost the entire game. He was still a good fantasy play and helped shut the door on the Jaguars with deep passing to fellow rookie Tank Dell. Stroud is shaping up as one of the best late round quarterback picks. He'll be tested by the Steelers pass rush next week. |
Dolphins | Raheem Mostert totals four touchdowns Sun Sep 24, 05:48 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert rushed 13 times for 82 yards and three touchdowns, while adding seven receptions for 60 yards and a score on his seven targets in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Mostert had four touchdowns and he wasn't even the best fantasy running back on his team today. We'll probably never be able to say that again. There hasn't been a bigger value pick at running back so far this year. Mostert will take aim at the Bills next week. |
Raheem Mostert player page
Dolphins | De'Von Achane has amazing afternoon Sun Sep 24, 05:45 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane rushed 18 times for 203 yards and two touchdowns in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos, and he added four grabs for 30 yards and two touchdowns on his four targets in a blowout victory at home.
| Footballguys view: Achane hadn't gotten in on significant action before this week, but that will change going forward. He'll be the top waiver priority in any leagues where he's available and viable as a flex going forward. Even when Jeff Wilson and Salvon Ahmed are healthy, it will be tough for the Dolphins to put Achane back on the bench. |
Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa tosses four touchdowns Sun Sep 24, 05:39 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 23-of-26 passes for 309 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos, as the Dolphins posted a franchise-best 70 points. In fact, it was just the fourth 70-point game in NFL history including the playoffs.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa was nearly flawless and exposed the Broncos defense. He would be drafted much higher in fantasy drafts held today, and is an everyweek start going forward. The Dolphins red hot offense will face the resurgent Bills defense in Buffalo next week. |
Tua Tagovailoa player page
Jets | Garrett Wilson catches five passes Sun Sep 24, 05:30 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson caught five passes for 48 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 3. He was targeted nine times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Wilson didn't break any big plays against a tough Patriots defense, so consider this a floor game. Expect more from Wilson next week in a game that should ask the Jets to throw a ton to try to keep up with Patrick Mahomes. |
