[SF - TE George Kittle on track to play](=) Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Matt Maiocco San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (groin) has had two good days of practices and is on track to play in Week 3, according to general manager John Lynch. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Great news for Kittle and the San Francisco offense. Let's make sure he stays good Friday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [DET - D'Andre Swift practicing]( Source: MLive.com - Kyle Meinke Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Sept. 22, after missing Wednesday's practice. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Swift gets some rest on Wednesday, and now he's back in action. He's a key piece of what the Lions do, and Swift can produce relevant fantasy numbers even if his snaps are limited. We like him as a top-10 fantasy running back this week against the Vikings. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [DEN - WR Jerry Jeudy misses another practice]( Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper Denver Broncos WR [Jerry Jeudy](=) (ribs, shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Broncos play on Sunday night, so Fantasy GMs can't wait around to see if Jeudy is going to play in Week 3. At this time, most who cover the Broncos think Jeudy will miss Sunday's game against the 49ers. Expect as much Courtland Sutton as possible with Jeudy potentially out. If Jeudy misses the game, perhaps K.J. Hamler or Montrell Washington (or Kendall Hinton) could get some more looks. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [TB - WR Julio Jones absent from Thursday's practice]() Source: PewterReport.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Julio Jones](=) (knee) was absent from practice Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones may not be available to play in Week 3. The Buccaneers will be missing WR Mike Evans due to a suspension, and WR Chris Godwin may continue to miss time with his hamstring injury. That means QB Tom Brady may have to go after guys like Breshad Perriman, Scotty Miller, and Russell Gage against the Packers on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [BUF - TE Dawson Knox upgraded](=) Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills TE [Dawson Knox](=) (foot) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll see what Knox can do on Friday. It's a big game in the AFC East this weekend as the Bills play the Dolphins. Having Knox out there would be a boost for the Bills offense, especially since Miami has the capability to go toe-to-toe with Josh Allen and company. We're hoping this is a great game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [LAR - RB Malcolm Brown back in LA]( Source: TheRams.com Free-agent RB Malcolm Brown (Saints) was signed to the practice squad of the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Undrafted out of Texas in 2015, Brown originally signed with the St. Louis Rams. He was with them in their move to Los Angeles, and Brown was with them from 2015-2020. In 2021, he spent time with the Dolphins. In 2022, Brown spent some time with the Saints before now finding himself back with the Rams. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [BUF - Gabriel Davis remains limited but says he'll play](=) Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Davis has declared himself ready for Week 3. That's great, but a full practice on Friday would make us feel better about the situation. If Davis plays against the Dolphins, Fantasy GMs should consider him a deep flex play in Week 3. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [NYG - Wan'Dale Robinson not practicing]() Source: The Athletic - Dan Duggan New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) won't practice Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We love Robinson in dynasty formats. In re-draft leagues, the talented rookie got drafted late in deeper formats, and he might be on the waiver wire in most leagues. If he gets healthy and starts to produce, Robinson could be a recommended add via waivers later this year. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [ARI - RB James Conner returns to practice]() Source: NFL Network - Taylor Bisciotti Arizona Cardinals RB [James Conner](=) (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Sept. 22, after being listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Conner's ankle injury is being classified as 'no big deal' by the Cardinals coaching staff. Fantasy GMs are a bit more skeptical. Conner is a fine talent, but his injury seal for 2022 has already been broken. He should start as per usual, but Conner is a risk to miss time in the game due to this ankle injury. Let's see if the team works in more of Eno Benjamin to give Conner a bit of a breather from time to time.

[NYJ - QB Zach Wilson will play when ready]( Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper New York Jets QB Zach Wilson (knee) is 'the future of the organization' and will return to his starting role 'as soon as the doctors clear him,' according to head coach Robert Saleh. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Wilson has not looked like a franchise quarterback, and Saleh could be coaching for his job this season. Joe Flacco has filled the air with footballs this season, and he's looked better than most expected. When Wilson is ready, this team will have a difficult decision to make if Flacco continues to play well. Rumors also persist that the front office is split on Wilson as a quarterback. When it comes to the Jets and their young quarterback, things could get quite interesting if/when he gets back on the field. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [DET - TE T.J. Hockenson returns to practice]( Source: MLive.com - Kyle Meinke Detroit Lions TE [T.J. Hockenson](=) (hip) returned to practice Thursday, Sept. 22, after missing Wednesday's practice. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hockenson hasn't looked good this year. It's a shocking development because the Lions are playing well, and they're kind of darlings of fans across the league. Over two games, Hockenson has been targeted 14 times with just seven catches for 64 yards and zero touchdowns. Fantasy GMs will still start him as a TE1 against the Vikings in Week 3. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [TB - WR Chris Godwin misses another practice]() Source: PewterReport.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Chris Godwin](=) (hamstring) was absent from practice Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Buccaneers are going to be without WR Mike Evans (suspension), and Godwin seems unlikely to play in Week 3 as well. With Julio Jones also missing practice time, Tampa may turn to guys like Breshad Perriman, Scotty Miller, and Russell Gage in Week 3 against the Packers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [CAR - RB Christian McCaffrey limited Thursday](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Carolina Panthers RB [Christian McCaffrey](=) (rest, ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Panthers rest McCaffrey on Wednesday, and it's wise to ease him back into action on Thursday. He should be the centerpiece of what they do on offense in Week 3 as per usual, and McCaffrey is a top-5 fantasy running back when healthy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [DAL - WR Michael Gallup could see pitch count]( Source: Dallas Morning News - Michael Gehlken Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Gallup (knee) could be on a pitch count if he's active for the Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants on Monday, Sept. 26. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cowboys are wise to ease Gallup back into action upon his return in Week 3. We're in 'give him a week' mode with the talented receiver. However, if you really want him in as a 'what the heck' flex in Week 3 then go for it. We'd rather you give him some time and see what he looks like coming back from the late-season ACL injury he suffered in 2021. Gallup is a 'stash' player with fine upside when he's at full strength. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [IND - Michael Pittman on the field again Thursday]( Source: Indianapolis Star - Joel A. Erickson Indianapolis Colts WR [Michael Pittman](=) Jr. (quad) was spotted at practice for a second straight day Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Two days in a row, and it looks like Pittman is going to be available for the Colts in Week 3. They need all the help they can get after an embarrassing performance in Week 2 against the Jaguars. They'll have to be firing on all cylinders to keep up with the Chiefs on Sunday. If he plays, Pittman can post WR2 with upside numbers for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [KC - OC talks up bigger role ahead for Skyy Moore](=) Source: Kansas City Star - Herbie Teope Kansas City Chiefs WR [Skyy Moore](=) saw only two snaps in Week 2 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, but offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy told reporters Thursday, Sept. 22, that he can 'guarantee' that Moore will see more activity than that moving forward. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fantasy GMs have been waiting for this news. Moore is an exciting rookie who can make big plays happen with the ball in his hands. Dynasty GMs are already over the moon about Moore's potential in this offense, and soon redraft GMs could be giddy about the rookie as well. Moore has a ton of talent, but the second-round pick out of Western Michigan has only had one target so far after two weeks, and he's played on 15 snaps combined. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [GB - Four GB receivers absent from practice Thursday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Rob Demovsky Green Bay Packers WRs [Allen Lazard](=) (ankle), [Christian Watson](=) (hamstring), [Sammy Watkins](=) (hamstring) and [Randall Cobb](=) (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's not a good look for the Packers' wide receiving corps. However, let's see what happens on Friday and who gets to practice and who doesn't. These wide receivers' availability will determine the fantasy potential of QB Aaron Rodgers in Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Stay tuned.
