Harvey is on track to return in Week 3 against the Rams after sitting out the Broncos’ Week 2 game against the Jaguars. With RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) ailing, Harvey could take on a slightly larger-than-normal workload, though not enough to treat him as anything higher than a FLEX option.24 September 2026
The burly rookie has not yet resumed practicing, while both RB J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) and RB RJ Harvey (hamstring) upgraded to full participation today. Coleman should remain stashed on fantasy football benches.24 September 2026
Mims has a chance to return this week, but his availability is not yet guaranteed. Regardless, he is not fantasy-relevant in 12-team leagues. He more so functions as a slight target share problem for other Broncos pass catchers.24 September 2026
Reed may not return in 2026, and Bako-Bewele suffered a season-ending knee injury. The Packers will also be without Banks, their starting left guard, though the Falcons are without both starting edge rushers right now due to suspension and injury. Packers DT Javon Hargrave (knee/concussion) is active.

Rush sits ahead of Strand on the depth chart and has been labeled as this evening’s emergency third quarterback. Hopefully, it doesn’t come to that. Week 3 marks QB Michael Penix’s return to action following last year’s season-ending knee injury.24 September 2026
Evans, 33, can still play on game day, even with very limited practice reps. Reliable veterans do not need the same practice level as youngsters. We likely just need to see him resume practicing tomorrow. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Evans will “have to be managed this week,” so the current state of things is somewhat unsurprising. If active, Evans can be viewed as a WR2.24 September 2026
This is unfortunate. Smith dealt with a hamstring injury back in August, but rehabbed it successfully before the season began. The Eagles have an extra day to rest, with their Week 3 game against the Bears airing as this week’s Monday Night Football game, but he must be treated as questionable to play at this time. Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks would handle No. 1 wide receiver duties if Smith cannot play.24 September 2026
Earlier this week, Bigsby was a candidate to start in Week 3 against the Bears, with RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) set for an MRI. Barkley’s imaging went well, and he was back at practice in a limited capacity today. Bigsby remains a worthwhile bench stash, but he should no longer be viewed as a Week 3 contributor in fantasy lineups.24 September 2026
Shipley totaled nine touches last week, with RB Saquon Barkley dealing with a stinger. Apparently, he picked up a foot injury along the way. Shipley does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues.24 September 2026
This isn’t much of an update, but it bears noting. Williams is considered week-to-week at this point. He is not practicing, nor is QB2 Tyson Bagent (concussion). Bagent might have a better chance to play than Williams does, but neither player is on the right side of questionable. Bears QB3 Case Keenum will “likely” start on Monday Night Football against the Eagles in Week 3.24 September 2026
Rudolph has been discussed as a potential trade target in past seasons, and the Steelers notably kept four quarterbacks on the roster after cut-down day. Fields, we suppose, could be expendable if the Chiefs really like rookie QB Garrett Nussmeier.24 September 2026
That makes two full practices for the Chargers’ star wide receiver. Unless he suffers a setback, McConkey will suit up on Sunday to take on the Bills. He was on the field for 24-of-34 passing plays last week, and logged just six snaps outside of that. Hopefully, he can stay on the field for almost all of QB Justin Herbert’s dropbacks this week. McConkey should be in fantasy lineups.24 September 2026
The Chargers’ rookie speedster is on the wrong side of questionable. Thompson is not fantasy-relevant on his own, but having him available is a plus for the offense overall. He will likely miss the Chargers’ Week 3 game against the Bills, though.24 September 2026
Jones should be good to go for Week 3 against the Dolphins, but the calf injury is certainly limiting him. The Chiefs’ D/ST should have a good game, given the Dolphins’ offensive struggles.24 September 2026
Chargers RG Cole Strange (pec) also upgraded to full participation today. Chargers G/T Trey Pipkins (knee) and LG Kayode Awosika (fibula) remained sidelined. Slate and Strange’s improvements are encouraging, but this unit is still in rough shape. Hopefully, everyone can remain setback-free.24 September 2026
Bell said the fluid and soreness have been bothering him since Week 1, but he has been pushing through it. The team is now limiting his practice reps so he can spend extra time working with the training staff. As far as how it impacts him, Bell said he has to spend more time warming up than he has in the past to avoid stiffness. Bell tore his ACL in November 2025. He is not yet running a full complement of routes and will likely remain on a snap count, at least in the short term.24 September 2026
The Bears cannot catch a break. If Santos remains sidelined tomorrow, there’s a decent chance the front office will host a free agent tryout.24 September 2026
He’s considered week-to-week and didn’t practice on either of the first two days of the week. Taylor will likely be ruled out on Friday, opening the door for Kenyon Sadiq to see a workload elevation against the Lions.24 September 2026
Hendrickson reportedly broke his finger “into several pieces” last week, yet still managed to record six quarterback pressures and one sack in Week 2. He should play again in Week 3 against the Cowboys in Brazil.24 September 2026
Meyers played through this thumb listing last week and was limited in back-to-back sessions to start the week; he should be considered likely to play against the Patriots.
