Michael Pittman (foot) is active for Week 3 against the Bengals.

27 September 2026


Colts declared CB Charvarius Ward (groin) active for Indianapolis’ Week 3 game against the Texans.

27 September 2026

Ward was the only questionable Colts player, but got in a full practice on Friday. Ashton Dulin (ankle) was ruled out on Friday. The other Colts inactives, all healthy scratches, are RB DJ Giddens, DE George Gumbs Jr., QB Riley Leonard, WR Darius Slayton and G Dalton Tucker.

Giants declared RB Devin Singletary, TE Thomas Fidone II, OL J.C. Davis, DL Josh Tupou, DL Bobby Jamison-Travis, CB Deonte Banks, and S Tyler Nubin inactive for Week 3 against the Titans.

27 September 2026

Singletary is a healthy scratch this week. Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy are the backup running backs for New York. Singletary had nine carries and four catches in the first two weeks of the year. His absence could be a slight boost to Cam Skattebo, though Singletary’s touches may just be distributed to the other backups.

Joey Porter Jr. (back) will not play in Week 3 against the Bengals.

27 September 2026

Who could have seen this coming? Porter has yet to suit up for a game this season, and it’s due to either a back issue, his current contract situation, or a mixture of the two. Teams have inquired about his availability via trade, but no deal appears on the horizon for the 26-year-old corner. In addition to Porter, the Steelers also declared RB Rico Dowdle, QB Drew Allar, QB Willi Howard, RB Eli Heidenreich, DE Kevin Jobity Jr., and DE Gabe Rubio inactive for Week 3.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Adonai Mitchell (finger) is expected to miss Week 3 against the Lions.

27 September 2026

We’ll get official word from the team in a few minutes. If Mitchell is indeed out, Isaiah Williams would step in as the team’s No. 2 receiver. Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq would also take on a larger role.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports DJ Moore (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Chargers.

27 September 2026

Moore suffered an AC joint sprain in Week 2 and did not return to that game. He got in two limited practices this week before being listed as questionable. He will suit up versus the Chargers, though it’s unclear how much the shoulder issue will affect him. Moore would normally be a solid WR2 option in this spot, but fantasy managers will likely want to treat him as a WR3 until we see how the shoulder injury impacts his play and usage.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said he does not expect “an imminent return for Josh Jacobs.”

27 September 2026

Jacob’s current time on the Commissioner’s Exempt List is expected to count as time served toward an eventual suspension. Rapoport added, “If they get to the point where it’s five games, six games, maybe eight games, that might be when you’re looking at a potential return for Josh Jacobs.” The NFL is currently trying to obtain video footage of the incident from the Hobart/Lawrence police department. The victim in Jacobs’ case requested that it be sealed by a judge for privacy reas ...

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports “the hope is” that Tyjae Spears (ankle) will play in Week 3 against the Giants.

27 September 2026

Spears got in one limited practice this week before being listed as questionable. Per Garafolo, the Titans want to see how Spears looks in warmups before making a decision. The Titans are playing at New York, where rain and winds are expected to be an issue. The field conditions could play a role in whether Spears suits up or not. If he doesn’t, rookie Nick Singleton would see a few extra touches.

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports Keon Coleman (ankle) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Chargers.

27 September 2026

Coleman returned to practice on Friday and was listed as questionable for today’s game. DJ Moore (shoulder) also looks likely to play through his questionable tag. Coleman stepped up last week with six catches for 63 yards on six targets. While he’s not on the fantasy radar as long as Moore suits up, Coleman could be a valuable role player for the Bills this year.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports J.J. McCarthy and Justin Fields are on the list of quarterback options for the Giants.

27 September 2026

If you have ever thrown a football, get an agent and have them contact the New York Giants. McCarthy and Fields join a list that, per previous reports, already included Gardner Minshew, Mac Jones, and Jimmy Garoppolo. Schefter also named Brandon Allen, who was on the Giants’ roster during training camp, as an option. Jameis Winston will get the start in Week 3, but the journeyman passer looked downright awful in relief of Jaxson Dart last week. The team will be forced to make a move at quarte ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jayden Daniels (elbow) is expected to return “at three weeks or sooner.”

27 September 2026

Daniels dislocated his left (non-throwing) elbow in Week 2. He suffered the same injury last year and it functionally ended his season. The good news for Commanders fans and fantasy managers is that he is not undergoing surgery and wasn’t placed on injured reserve. Still, Daniels will miss a few weeks and then runs the risk of re-injuring the elbow after returning. Marcus Mariota will start until Daniels is healthy. Mariota is one of the league’s best backups, so the fantasy outlook for Ste ...

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Mike Evans (hip) plans to play in Week 3 against the Cardinals.

27 September 2026

Evans has been trending in the right direction throughout the week, with Kyle Shanahan already telling reporters a few days ago that he has a good chance to suit up. The team officially listed him as questionable on their final injury report, but fantasy managers can assume he is playing for now. Evans could see his role scaled back slightly, but the 49ers are extremely thin at receiver, having lost Demarcus Robinson to an ankle injury most recently. Even at less than full strength, Evans remai ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Myles Garrett “was given a timeline of roughly six weeks for his recovery from knee surgery.”

27 September 2026

Garrett attempted to play through the knee issue in Week 1 but was clearly bothered by the balky knee. He underwent a knee scope shortly after the Rams’ opener and was placed on injured reserve. It was initially expected to be closer to a four-week absence for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Now he’ll miss a bit longer than that, and Rapoport added that the team will be cautious with his return, so he could be sidelined beyond even the six-week timeline.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jalen Coker (ankle) “should play” in Week 3 against the Browns.

27 September 2026

Xavier Legette (knee) remains a game-time decision. Both players were officially listed as questionable on Friday. Coker has gotten off to a red-hot start this year with 16 grabs for 204 yards and a pair of scores through two weeks. Even if he’s limited by the ankle issue, the production is too good to keep on the bench. He is, at worst, a WR3 for his date with the Browns.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Brock Bowers (knee) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Saints, barring a surprise.

27 September 2026

Bowers will still need to test out his knee during pre-game warmups, but all signs point to him making his 2026 debut later today. The team heavily limited his workload during practice this week and could do so in his first game back from the late offseason meniscus trim. Still, if Bowers is active, fantasy managers have to get him in their lineups.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Michael Pittman (foot) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Bengals.

27 September 2026

Pittman missed last week’s game with the foot issue and was limited in practice throughout this week. He was given a questionable designation on Friday. Pittman will return as the No. 2 receiver on a struggling offense, and he’s likely not back to full strength. Fantasy managers should keep him on the bench for at least one more game before getting him back into lineups.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports there is a “decent chance” Nico Collins (hamstring) returns for Week 4 against the Cowboys.

27 September 2026

Collins injured his hamstring in practice last week and has already been ruled out for the second game in a row. He did not practice this week, so the Texans’ first injury report of Week 4 will be telling. Dalton Schultz will continue to vacuum up targets in the meantime. He saw 14 targets last week and caught 12 of them for 140 yards.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Lions and Cowboys “have begun making inquiries about the availability of Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr.”

27 September 2026

Schefter noted that a handful of teams have called Pittsburgh, so it’s likely more than just Dallas and Detroit. Porter has been locked in an ugly contract dispute with the Steelers since the early offseason, and the team does not negotiate extensions during the season. They also rarely guarantee money beyond the first year of an extension, which has been another sticking point for JPJ’s camp. Per Schefter, the Steelers are willing to listen to offers but want a “strong compensation packa ...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Caleb Williams has a Grade 2 hamstring injury “that doctors say could sideline him for three to four weeks.”

27 September 2026

Schefter noted that Williams could return sooner, and the timeline is simply an estimate from the doctors. Still, it would be risky for the team to rush him back, even if he is pushing to play. Williams has already been ruled out for Week 3 and Tyson Bagent is questionable because of a concussion. If he isn’t ready when the Bears take on the Eagles on Monday, Case Keenum will draw the start.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports surgery is “not entirely off the table” for Puka Nacua (hip).

27 September 2026

Schefter noted that the team doesn’t believe he will need surgery, but it could be an option if things don’t improve. The team is listing it as a hip injury, but the main issue has been a groin injury which would presumably require core muscle surgery. That would sideline him for multiple months. Schefter added that Nacua could return as soon as Week 4 if he does improve. Nacua did not practice once this week before being listed as doubtful versus Denver. Nacua’s short and long-term statu ...
