Week 3 Final News Update

Hey!

Week 3 is just hours away and before it begins you need to know these 10 important news items that came in the last 24 hours:

#10 Xavier Worthy is OUT. He’ll miss his 2nd straight game with a torn labrum. Marquise Brown now becomes a viable start…

#9 Jaxon Smith-Njigba is now questionable. He was a late add to the injury report on Saturday with an illness. According to Adam Schefter, he’s ‘likely to be available’…

#8 Emeka Egbuka is expected to play. He was able to practice Friday. But he’s expected to have snaps monitored and potentially limited this week…

#7 Tucker Kraft is expected to play. This suggests his Thursday knee injury is minor and likely just a bone bruise or ‘stinger’. You can start Kraft but there’s a chance his snaps are lower than usual this week…

#6 D’Andre Swift is expected to play. He’s a must start this week against one of the worst defenses in the league in the Dallas Cowboys…

#5 Jauan Jennings remains questionable and looks like a true game-time decision. He didn’t practice all week. Based off that, I’m expecting him to miss this game but track this closely before kick off…

#4 Tyler Warren is off the final injury report and will play. You can confidently put him into your lineup as a Top 3 TE this week…

#3 Left Tackles Christian Darrisaw and Andrew Thomas are expected to play. This is huge news for both the Vikings and Giants offenses…

#2 Kaleb Johnson might be inactive. The Steelers elevated RB Trey Sermon to be their new kick returner. This means someone has to be inactive and it makes sense for it to be Johnson, who lost the returner job last week after a crucial mistake…

#1 Isaiah Likely is OUT. He practiced in limited fashion all week so he’s trending to play Week 4. There’s a good chance he takes the starting job from Mark Andrews at some point this year. Andrews has just 7 yards this season…

That’s all for now, adjust your lineups based off this news for Week 3.
