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.
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.
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.
For sale: one large FAAB bid, never used.
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.
Mims re-aggravated his preseason foot injury in Week 1 and did not play in Week 2. He was able to get three limited sessions in ahead of Week 3, but has no fantasy value at this point in Denver’s deep wideout room. He’d provide considerable real-life value as a punt returner.
Allen will be available for third-string running back duties against the Seahawks, and considering the likelihood the Commanders are blown out, stands some chance at scoring about 1-3 fantasy points.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dillon will step into the main backup role for Week 3 after Jonathon Brooks (groin) wound up on injured reserve. There’s no real timeshare here; Hubbard will be the main back. But Dillon could cut into PPR point territory as Panthers OC Brad Idzik was described as “pleasantly surprised” by the veteran’s receiving ability.
It doesn’t seem like there’s much concern that he’ll miss Monday Night’s game against the Eagles after skipping the first practice of the week for the team on Thursday. Monangai took two limited sessions with a different ailment (hamstring) last week and should be in line for RB2 duties behind D’Andre Swift in what could be a more limited Bears running game with Case Keenum under center.
He did return for a limited session on Friday, but it doesn’t look like it’s a sure thing he plays in Week 3. Titans head coach Robert Saleh said Nick Singleton could get more opportunities in Week 3.
This is expected, but the Bears have not officially ruled out Williams, so we will continue to provide updates. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Williams is not expected to play in Week 3’s Monday Night Football game against the Eagles. Bears QB3 Case Keenum is currently in line to start.
Bagent will almost certainly be ruled out for the Bears’ Week 3 Monday Night Football game against the Eagles, paving the way for his backup, QB Case Keenum, to get the start.
Dowdle didn’t practice at any point this week with a toe injury that was described by Ian Rapoport as a “day-to-day” issue after Week 2. It sounds like he enters Week 4 as very much questionable. 2026 seventh-rounder Eli Heidenreich will likely back up Jaylen Warren on Sunday.
Collins will miss his second consecutive game with yet another hamstring strain. Last week, the passing offense ran through TE Dalton Schultz, who earned 13 targets. Fellow Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson was next with eight targets, but he caught just three, making for a shaky FLEX option this week.
Warren got in three limited practices this week and, given Rico Dowdle was already ruled out, feels likely to be active on Sunday. Warren will get a workload boost if he can handle it. Eli Heidenreich, Pittsburgh’s seventh-round pick, is next on the depth chart behind Warren with Dowdle out.
He was limited in practice all three days this week with a foot injury that kept him out of Week 2. We’d say Pittman is on the optimistic side of questionable based on his participation status. If he’s out again, it would likely be Germie Bernard picking up the slack, as he did in Week 2.
He was limited all three days this week and expressed uncertainty about his status for the game when asked on Thursday. He’s best regarded as a true game-time decision; the Steelers would surely like to have him on deck against Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase. Joining Porter on the questionable line is fellow CB Jamel Dean (ankle), who was limited the last two practices of the week after missing Wednesday.
This is unsurprising based on how the week trended. Moore practiced twice in a non-contact jersey and rested on Thursday. Moore-reliant managers should be prepared to pivot on Sunday morning if need be. Moore did speak to reporters after Brady, giving some optimism that he could be available if he can clear the last few steps of his rehab process.
