It looks like Slayton has a good chance to suit up after back-to-back limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. He isn’t much of a fantasy option at this point — Russell Wilson simply hasn’t targeted him much — but having Slayton on the field will keep defenses honest in Week 3.18 September 2025
Back-to-back limited practices is a good step for the star left tackle as he tries to finally be active for Week 3. The Giants seem optimistic that he will return soon, but Friday will tell the tale of if it will happen on Sunday — rookie Marcus Mbow would likely replace James Hudson at left tackle if Thomas isn’t up to the task.18 September 2025
The second-year player has back-to-back limited sessions. If active, he’ll serve as a complementary piece of the attack behind Cam Skattebo (ankle), who is practicing in full ahead of Week 3. Neither Skattebo nor Tracy are must-plays against a stout Chiefs run defense given the lines New York’s running backs have put up in the first two weeks of the season.18 September 2025
Penning’s return comes at the right time. His direct backup, OG Dillon Radunz, is now sidelined by a toe injury of his own, and starting RT Taliese Fuaga picked up a back injury in Week 2. He was already nursing a knee injury. Saints EDGE Chase Young is also still sidelined by a calf injury.

Mid-week injury report additions are never good news, so we’ll have to see how this unfolds on Friday. It’s possible that this is just maintenance. It’s also possible Pitts hurt his toe mid-practice and might be facing a fight to play this week. Pitts has had a nice season thus far and is on the TE1 line despite his offense barely passing at all in Week 2.18 September 2025
It’s a good sign for his availability (and health) to see the mid-week upgrade after playing in his debut in Week 2. Mooney will likely have more success in Week 3 after a 2/20 debut against the Vikings — Carolina is one of the worst defenses in the NFL so far — the only worry is that things get so far out of hand that Atlanta effectively grinds the clock out. Mooney should be on the WR3/FLEX line.18 September 2025
It was a limited session, but it’s a good sign for his chances of playing against the Panthers in Week 3. A.J. Terrell (hamstring) remained out of practice, but it looks like Atlanta could at least have both of their rookie EDGE players available to chase Bryce Young on Sunday.18 September 2025
Swift was limited in Wednesday’s session as well. The continued participation puts him on track to play, but the fact that he remains limited indicates the injury is not a complete non-issue. Bears backup RB Kyle Monangai could handle a few extra touches against the Cowboys in Week 3 if Swift remains limited tomorrow.18 September 2025
It’s an upgrade from Wednesday’s limited session and Latu would seem likely to play against the Titans in Week 3. Every Colts EDGE player will want a chance at Cam Ward, who has been sacked 11 times in two starts so far. CB Charvarius Ward (concussion) also practiced in full. Both players have a chance at not being on the team’s final injury report at this rate.18 September 2025
Harmon could still suit up on Sunday, even if he remains limited tomorrow, but we would expect him to be on a snap count if that is the case. The Steelers need their rookie defensive tackle back badly. Porter remains sidelined by his hamstring injury and does not appear to be close to returning.18 September 2025
He was limited all of last week as well with the same injury before dusting Dallas’ secondary. Don’t expect miracles in Week 3 against a more game Chiefs defense, but Robinson is firmly on the WR3/FLEX radar.18 September 2025
“We want more of him,” Carroll said after Week 2. Jeanty saw 19 carries in Week 1, but was at 11 in Week 2 as the Raiders trailed and the team relied on other backs in catch up mode. Chip Kelly and Geno Smith, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Vincent Bonsignore, wanted to get other players “more involved.” We don’t necessarily think Jeanty is a lock to get 20 touches a game, but it does make some sense to rest him in the second half of a blowout. His snap share isn’t worth worryi ...18 September 2025
There wasn’t much separation between Dare Ogunbowale and Woody Marks in training camp, but Marks had a 37-yard reception last week and played a bigger role than he had in the past. Ogunbowale has also fumbled in Week 1 and looked bad in pass protection in Week 2. Marks isn’t a FLEX play yet — he’ll probably have to outplay Chubb to get more than a third-down share — but he’s at least put himself into position to do that.18 September 2025
Legette experienced hamstring “soreness” after going through individual drills yesterday, so the team sidelined him for the remainder of practice. He was once again limited today, and fantasy managers can expect excessively limited production from the second-year wide receiver unless he turns things around with an unprecedented, Herculean effort moving forward.18 September 2025
He’s been listed with this hamstring since the very start of the season and left Week 2’s game against the Lions with the listing — it’s possible he re-aggravated it. Ruben Hyppolite II would be in line for extra work if Edwards can’t play, with Noah Sewell likely becoming the other main linebacker. Kyler Gordon (hamstring) also remained out of practice on Thursday.18 September 2025
Swift was limited in Wednesday’s session as well. The continued participation puts him on track to play, but the fact that he remains limited indicates the injury is not a complete non-issue. Bears backup RB Kyle Monangai could handle a few extra touches against the Cowboys in Week 3 if Swift remains limited tomorrow.18 September 2025
We’d be surprised if it was more than a limited session, but this should get Downs back in the Week 3 fantasy conversation after missing Wednesday’s practice. The Titans defense has been something of a pass funnel in their first two games of the season and it makes sense for Downs to be in the FLEX mix after his eight-target Week 2 result.18 September 2025
It’s a very encouraging sign that he’ll be able to go on Sunday, though by no means a definitive one. Warren went for 79 yards on seven targets against the Broncos last week and should remain an easy TE1 start in Week 3 against the Titans.18 September 2025
Gonzalez returned to practice in a limited capacity yesterday. The Patriots have smartly slow-played their star cornerback’s recovery, so it may be another week before we see him take regular season snaps. It’s a positive overall development for the young cornerback, though.18 September 2025
Scharping has bounced around as veteran depth since playing out his four-year rookie deal with the Texans and, later, Bengals. He’s played just 20 snaps the last two years. He’ll likely be on the practice squad/end-of-roster shuttle again in 2026 if his knee cooperates.
