Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant has caught nine of his 11 targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns through two games this season and has even more fantasy upside now that receiver Courtland Sutton (knee) is out for the rest of the year. Even with quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) out and backup Jeff Driskel in this Sunday against Tampa Bay, Fant should see a

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick will be in three-receiver sets moving forward now that Courtland Sutton (knee) is done for the rest of the 2020 season. Patrick will be behind rookie wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler and tight end Noah Fant in the passing-game pecking order, though, which will leave him very few targets on a weekly basis in this offense. On

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler, who caught three of his seven targets in his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Steelers for 48 yards, will have an expanded role moving forward with Courtland Sutton (knee) done for the year. Hamler played the second-most snaps of any Broncos receiver last week and had a healthy seven targets, so he’ll be involved. The speedy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Jones aggravated his hamstring in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, but he’s attempting to play through the injury, as he’s so often done before while remaining productive for fantasy managers. The All-Pro wideout had just two catches for 24 yards while dealing with his hamstring injury last

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) missed another practice on Thursday. Thomas has missed the last two days of practice this week and is likely to miss his second straight game as he tries to return from the dreaded high ankle sprain. With the Week 3 game on Sunday night against the Packers, there’s even more reason to give up hope in using

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has become the team’s top wideout now that Courtland Sutton (knee) is out for the rest of the year. Jeudy was limited in practice on Wednesday, but he’s expected to be ready for the Week 3 matchup against the Buccaneers. The Alabama product has eight catches (15 targets) for 118 yards through the first two games, and he

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and running backs Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Also, defenders Dee Ford (back) and Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) missed another practice. The 49ers are one of the most beat up teams through two weeks, as they also lost All-Pro pass-rusher Nick Bosa (knee) for the year. Garoppolo

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has been effective through his first two games of the 2020 season. Hunt has racked up 158 rushing yards, 24 receiving yards, and two total touchdowns so far this season. Adding to his value is the fact that he and Nick Chubb are splitting the backfield work much more evenly than they did with the previous coaching staff in

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has a favorable Week 3 matchup against the Washington Football Team. Washington’s defense has been stout against the pass through two games but has struggled to contain opposing running backs, ranking just 21st in run defense DVOA. Kareem Hunt‘s increased role in the offense through two games makes Chubb’s weekly outlook rather game script dependent but he is in

It looked like he was trending towards being a full-go on Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins, but Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (back, chest) has been officially ruled out. A few things change with no Chark in the lineup. First, Chris Conley likely sees a major jump in playing time, making him an intriguing deep-league flex option. Keelan Cole and rookieLaviska Shenault

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman is likely to operate as the backup to Melvin Gordon in Week 3 against the Buccaneers with Phillip Lindsay (toe) on the shelf with turf toe. However, Freeman saw just three carries for 20 yards in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers and just isn’t seeing enough touches, even as the No. 2, to hold any fantasy weight.

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) missed practice on Wednesday and doesn’t appear likely to return to action in Week 3 against the Buccaneers after sitting out in Week 2 with turf toe. Lindsay initially suffered the injury in the season-opener, and his timetable was set for two to four weeks. His injury makes Melvin Gordon more of an RB2 because of his guaranteed

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon should continue to see a heavy workload with Phillip Lindsay (toe) on the shelf. Gordon ran the ball 19 times for 70 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers. The Buccaneers Defense has allowed 26.4 fantasy points per game to running backs in the first two weeks,

Denver Broncos quarterback Jeff Driskel will be the starter heading into Week 3 against the Buccaneers with Drew Lock (shoulder) out for a while. Driskel held his own in a comeback attempt against a very tough Steelers Defense last week in relief, throwing for 256 yards and two touchdowns. The 27-year-old can run a bit and shouldn’t be completely ruled out in a David versus

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) has a chance to play in Week 3 against the Giants after sitting out in Week 2 with a knee sprain and a bone bruise in the same knee. It’s a good sign that Kittle is on the team’s trip to the East Coast, and he was also able to get in a limited practice on Wednesday.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) is on the practice field on Thursday with a helmet and looks to be ready to get some practice work in. Everything is pointing to Jeffery being ready to make his 2020 season debut within the next few weeks after he underwent surgery for a foot sprain last December. It will be much-needed for a struggling Philly offense

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) will not practice on Thursday, while wide receiver Chris Hogan (rib) is limited while dealing with a rib injury. On top of it, Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is expected to miss his second straight game against the Colts. Braxton Berrios and Josh Malone are the only other wideouts on the roster, although Lawrence Cager could get called up

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) is sitting out practice once again on Thursday as he continues to deal with a groin injury. He’s currently listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, but he may move to doubtful if he’s unable to get in even a limited practice on Friday. If Kirk is out on Sunday, Andy Isabella could see an

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Colts. Crowder didn’t practice on Wednesday and is expected to sit out on Thursday, too, making him likely to miss his second straight game. As quarterback Sam Darnold‘s favorite weapon, Crowder is really the only Jets receiver worth starting in most fantasy

The Minnesota Vikings are signing former Denver Broncos linebacker Todd Davis to a one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. It’ll give the Vikings some depth at the position following the season-ending injury to Anthony Barr (pectoral). Davis had two straight seasons of 100-plus tackles in Denver, so he could really help the Vikings make up for Barr’s absence. However, with the Vikings getting
