Top Week 3 fantasy news for Sunday
Watch for updates on major fantasy football players for Week 3.
Emeka Egbuka (hip) is ACTIVE in Week 3 but could be limited.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie remains a recommended fantasy play against the New York Jets. Mike Evans likely will draw lockdown CB Sauce Gardner most of the day, so Egbuka should find plenty of room against the Jets’ other, much less threatening defensive backs.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba expected to play in Week 3
JSN came down with an illness Saturday and earned a questionable tag, but he’s expecting to suit up.
Tucker Kraft ACTIVE, Tyler Warren in line to be active Week 3
Two big tight ends in the fantasy space look like they’ll overcome tricky injuries to go this week. Both can safely reside in TE1 fantasy lineup designations, but they may not wow as in previous outings.
D’Andre Swift on track to suit up in Week 3. vs. Cowboys
The Bears’ “lead” back sits in fantasy flex territory and could find an even bigger threat from Kyle Monangai if he doesn’t capitalize on a tasty matchup with Dallas.
Quinshon Judkins will start in Week 3
This isn’t surprising, given that he’s the best option between the tackles (and likely overall), but a negative game script against the lauded Packers defense may limit his upside today in favor of more passing-situation work from Dylan Sampson.
Brock Purdy, Jauan Jennings OUT for Week 3
The San Francisco 49ers will be without their starting QB and co-top WR, but Mac Jones should have a fine connection with second-year snare Ricky Pearsall.
Xavier Legette OUT for Week 3
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will look more in the direction of Hunter Renfrow and rookie Tetairoa McMillan in a matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, who will be without top cornerback A.J. Terrell.
More fantasy player updates
- Chris Godwin (ankle) is targeting a Week 4 debut.
- Brock Purdy (toe) could return as soon as Week 4.
- J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is set to return in Week 7.
