Barkley told reporters after practice that he is confident in his rehab program and plans to play in Week 3 against the Bears. His backups, RB Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and RB Will Shipley (foot), both resumed practicing today as limited participants. Expect Barkley to handle his normal workload in what should be a run-heavy game plan.25 September 2026
Smith was back at practice, logging a limited session, after sitting out yesterday. The Eagles’ WR1 is on track to play, but hamstring injuries can be finicky. This is worth tracking closely. The Bears have fielded a very fantasy-friendly pass defense thus far, making this a favorable matchup for the Eagles’ passing attack.25 September 2026
Ferguson is set to handle No. 2 pass-catcher duties with WR Puka Nacua (hip) sidelined this week. The young tight end posted a 6/54/1 receiving line in Week 2 and can be viewed as a TE1 in this matchup.25 September 2026
Wright was unable to practice on Friday. He is very unlikely to play, although his absence may only be felt in the return game. Dolphins RB Ollie Gordonwill serve as the top backup.

The Cardinals lost their top perimeter CB Will Johnson (neck) to injured reserve this week. Fellow perimeter CB Max Melton (toe) is questionable to play. Williams suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture last year, and returns this week to man the slot.25 September 2026
Brissett practiced fully all week, despite the hip injury. Brissett is not quite hitting the peaks he produced last year and is too tough to trust in 12-team leagues. Consider him a QB2 against the 49ers this week.25 September 2026
Evans did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but was in uniform and warming up during the open portion of Friday’s practice. When asked whether Evans was limited or full, he declined to say. If Evans was full, we have almost no concerns about his ability to play this week, though he likely would have been removed from the injury report if that were the case. Evans must be treated as truly questionable to play, so make a backup plan, but he is the type of player who does not necessarily n ...25 September 2026
This was the expected outcome for Week 3. Reports on Robinson’s injury indicate this could be a multi-week issue. With WR1 Mike Evans (hip) questionable, WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle could take on sizable workloads, though the team will likely still try to limit Kittle’s snap count.25 September 2026
Okonkwo has yet to practice after getting injured in Week 1, leading some to wonder if the Commanders know that there’s an injured reserve list they can place players on. Ben Sinnott has filled in for Okonkwo; Sinnott can best be viewed in his natural habitat on the waiver wire as he scores 1.6 points this week.25 September 2026
He did not practice at any point this week and should be regarded as questionable for Week 4. The Commanders are without their two best offensive linemen, which should make life very interesting (in a bad way) for Marcus Mariota in Week 3.25 September 2026
He was limited on Thursday and practiced in full today to avoid the questionable line. The 28-year-old defensive tackle can look forward to a Sunday of trying to stop Jadarian Price runs right up the gut.25 September 2026
The Seahawks also ruled out S Ty Okada (hamstring) for this week’s game. Okada has not yet played in 2026. Love injured his calf in practice this week. The Seahawks’ D/ST remains a worthwhile play against the Commanders, thanks to the defense’s overall talent and coach Mike Macdonald’s top-tier scheming. Losing the two safeties will simply complicate Macdonald’s preferred three-safety looks.25 September 2026
He didn’t practice all week after spending Sunday night in a Dallas hospital following an “internal injury” he suffered against the Cowboys. Sounds ominous. We’d be unsurprised if Cross were placed on injured reserve on Saturday.25 September 2026
Kupp will be available for QB Sam Darnold (glute), who makes his return from his Week 1 injury. Kupp is a mild FLEX option, facing a soft Commanders’ coverage unit.25 September 2026
Santos has tumbled from the potential beneficiary of a potent offense to a droppable player in 12-team leagues. He is also on the wrong side of questionable.25 September 2026
Darnold upgraded to full participation yesterday, so today’s news tracks. In an interview on the Rich Eisen Show earlier today, Seahawks WR Smith-Njigba basically let slip that Darnold would be back, but Eisen let him out of the situation with only a soft follow-up. Darnold can be started as a borderline QB1/2 against a fantasy-friendly Commanders defense in Week 3.25 September 2026
He’ll form a committee with RJ Harvey, who was also cleared for Week 3, against the Rams. Dobbins is a low-end RB2 at best in this role against a tough Los Angeles defense.25 September 2026
He’ll hold the receiving end of Denver’s RB tandem in Week 3 against the Broncos, giving him fringe RB2 status against a tough defense. We’d probably rather start Harvey than committee mate J.K. Dobbins this week with Jonah Coleman (ankle) out.25 September 2026
For sale: one large FAAB bid, never used.25 September 2026
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Price’s injury responded well to treatment this week. The rookie running back got “a ton of reps” in practices and is reportedly ready to be “full go” against the Commanders on Sunday. Price is a low-end RB2/FLEX for the occasion, after splitting carries with RB Emanuel Wilson and ceding passing down reps to RB George Holani (knee) in Week 2.
