Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) is currently considered questionable to return to Monday's Week 3 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. This is a tough break for the Jaguars who are already without multiple key defenders. First, defensive back Jarrian Jones (shoulder) left during the first drive of the game, now Oluokun exits during the first half as well. His absence will probably mean that Ventrell Miller or De'Antre Prince gets more time if he can't return. The Jaguars cannot afford to have anymore defensive injuries, so hopefully Jones and Oluokun can return during this game.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Jarrian Jones (shoulder) is considered as questionable to return to Monday's Week 3 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Jones was forced to exit during the first drive of the game due to a shoulder injury. The loss of Jones is a big hit with the Jaguars secondary already banged up. This secondary is already without Tyson Campbell, Andrew Wingard, Darnell Savage, and now possibly Jones. It's going to tough for the Jaguars to slow down Bills' quarterback Josh Allen with a handful of key defenders sidelined. Christian Braswell figures to see increased playing time with Jones sidelined.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (ribs) was dealing with soreness on Monday after taking a hit to his ribs in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Dell isn't dealing with any structural damage, though, according to a league source. In addition to taking a hard hit to his ribs, Dell injured his hand/wrist late in the blowout loss to the Vikings. The 24-year-old could very well find himself on this week's injury report, but none of his injuries seem to be serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 4 versus the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite the injuries on Sunday, Dell had his best game of the year, catching five of six targets for 62 yards after going for four catches for just 37 receiving yards in the first two weeks of 2024. Dell proved last year that he has high-end playmaking ability, but so far this year, he's been more bust than boom while sharing targets with Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (arm) suffered an apparent right-arm injury in the team's Week 3 win over the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and was seen in the locker room on Monday with his right elbow in a sling. Harris wasn't removed from the game early, but Cordarrelle Patterson saw increased usage late in the contest against the Chargers with Harris ailing. Harris' final carry of the game went for a game-high 21 yards, and he finished with 18 carries for 70 yards and no touchdowns, adding a season-high five catches for 16 yards. It's something to watch going into Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, but it doesn't appear that Harris' injury is very serious. The 26-year-old has 55 carries for 209 yards and seven catches for 30 yards through the first three games, and he could see more touches if Jaylen Warren (knee) ends up missing time.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) was set to undergo an MRI exam on his knee on Monday. Warren was apparently injured in the team's Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, but the severity of his injury is unknown at the time. Najee Harris (arm) was also banged up on Sunday and was seen with his right arm in a sling on Monday. Harris' injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but the two RBs injuries help explain why Cordarrelle Patterson got some late-game run against the Chargers. Warren had only three carries for five yards and caught his only target for a four-yard loss before leaving. After serving as a solid RB3/flex for most of last year for fantasy managers, Warren has been unplayable in fantasy lineups through three weeks in 2024 with only 14 carries for 54 yards while catching five passes for 28 yards.

Los Angeles Chargers stellar rookie offensive tackle Joe Alt (knee) suffered an MCL sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steeler on Sunday and is expected to miss time, according to sources. The good news is Alt isn't expected to need surgery on his knee. In addition to Alt being injured, left tackle Rashawn Slater (pectoral) strained his pectoral muscle against Pittsburgh, and quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle) aggravated his high-ankle sprain. The Chargers have their bye in Week 5, so there's a good chance Alt won't be out there for a big divisional clash against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. If Slater also sits out this Sunday, the Chiefs defense could have their way with LA's offensive line. We'll have a better idea of whether the 21-year-old Alt is able to play based on his practice status later this week.

The NFL suspended Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. for one game on Monday for repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players, including during the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's not ideal in any situation for the Bolts defense to lose one of their best playmakers, but it comes at an inopportune time with the team facing the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. However, the 28-year-old defensive back is expected to appeal the ruling. If the suspension holds up, James won't be able to return to action until Oct. 13 versus the division-rival Denver Broncos following LA's Week 5 bye. Fantasy managers must have a backup plan in place for their starting DB spot this week if James' suspension holds up. The three-time Pro Bowler has 21 tackles (15 solo) already through three games while also recording a sack.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed free-agent wide receiver Jalen Reagor to their practice squad on Monday, according to a source. The Chargers are adding some depth at the receiver position with DJ Chark (hip) currently on Injured Reserve and after Joshua Palmer (calf, elbow) missed the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Reagor, a former first-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 out of TCU, has not lived up to his draft stock in the NFL and failed to catch on with the New England Patriots out of training camp after catching only seven passes for 138 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games for the Pats in 2023. Even if Reagor joins the active roster for the Week 4 contest against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, he won't be a realistic fantasy option in his first game with LA. For now, he'll be WR depth behind Quentin Johnston and rookies Ladd McConkey and Brenden Rice.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team hopes to get tight end George Kittle (hamstring) back at practice this week. Kittle tweaked his hamstring at practice last week and was forced to sit out of the team's Week 3 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. We'll have a better idea of the 30-year-old's status for a Week 4 tilt against the New England Patriots once the Niners resume practicing on Wednesday, but as of right now, it sounds as though he has a realistic shot to play this weekend if he can get on the practice field. It would be great news for a team hit hard by injuries to key players early in 2024. Running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) is on IR and receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) could miss more time. Kittle will be a must-start TE1 in fantasy if he's able to return against the Pats.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin is inactive as a healthy scratch in Week 3 on Monday night against the visiting Washington Commanders. Irwin becomes the odd man out in Cincy's receiving corps with Tee Higgins (hamstring) making his 2024 debut. In the first two weeks of the season in losses to the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs, Irwin caught just two of his eight targets for 11 yards, so he really wasn't on the fantasy radar to begin with. With Higgins back in the fold, quarterback Joe Burrow's fantasy upside as a QB1 will go up, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Bengals ease Higgins into a full workload in terms of offensive snaps. Ja'Marr Chase, Higgins and Andrei Iosivas figure to start in three-receiver sets moving forward, with rookie Jermaine Burton, Charlie Jones and Irwin serving as depth.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) traveled to Germany over the weekend to visit with a specialist, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. McCaffrey is expected to spend a few days in Europe this week to get help for his injured Achilles. CMC injured his Achilles/calf in training camp back in August and was placed on Injured Reserve, meaning he cannot return until at least Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. However, there's a good chance the 28-year-old All-Pro will be out beyond that, depending on how quickly he recovers over the next several weeks. Fantasy managers obviously need to continue stashing last year's rushing champion in an IR spot while hoping for a speedy recovery. With the Niners' offense banged up, RB Jordan Mason will continue to be heavily involved and will be a weekly RB1 for fantasy managers until McCaffrey comes off IR.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (triceps) needs surgery and there's a chance he could return if the 49ers make a deep playoff run. Hargrave suffered a partially torn triceps in the Week 3 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and will most likely miss all of the rest of the season. The 49ers continue to be dealt blow after injury blow in the early going, with Hargrave the latest to fall. It's a big loss for the Niners' defense moving forward, as Hargrave made his second Pro Bowl in 2023, when he picked up 44 tackles (25 solo), seven sacks, eight tackles for loss and 14 QB hits in 16 regular-season games. Hargrave had three tackles and his first sack of the season in the loss to the Rams in Week 3. The 31-year-old can now be safely dropped if he was being stashed in deep IDP leagues.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Brock Purdy (back) is day-to-day with back soreness. It doesn't sound like a very serious injury, but we'll keep a close eye on Purdy's practice status anyway this week as the team prepares for their Week 4 meeting against the New England Patriots this weekend. The 24-year-old signal-caller was without running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf), receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) and tight end George Kittle (hamstring) -- arguably his top three offensive weapons -- in the Week 3 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams but still managed to throw for 292 yards and a season-high three touchdowns on 30 attempts, with most of his work being done with wideout Jauan Jennings, who hauled in all three of Purdy's TDs. If Purdy plays in Week 4, he'll be more attractive as a QB1 in fantasy if one/both of Samuel or Kittle can return.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that quarterback Jordan Love (knee) will be a limited participant to start the week in Wednesday's first practice. Love did take some team repetitions at practice last week but was ultimately held out for the second straight week with an MCL sprain in the Week 3 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The 25-year-old was questionable to play in Week 3 after spraining his MCL in the season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. If Love can do more at practice this week, he'll have a real chance to be active for a big divisional clash at Lambeau Field against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Backup Malik Willis has been solid in leading the Packers to two wins without Love, but Love's return will be a big boost to Green Bay's entire offense, especially for the fantasy ceilings of receivers Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is officially active for Monday night's contest on the road against the Buffalo Bills after being listed as questionable for Week 3. The Jaguars said early last week that they expected Bigsby to suit up, and he was limited in practice all week. The 23-year-old should resume his role as the RB2 for the Jaguars behind starter Travis Etienne Jr. against the Bills, but if he's limited at all, D'Ernest Johnson could see some more offensive snaps. Bigsby played on 32% of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins but didn't play a single offensive snap in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. He had 12 carries for 73 yards in the season-opener and should be involved again in the backfield on Monday after getting injured last week. The Jags hinted all offseason that Bigsby would have a bigger complementary role in 2024.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that tight end Trey McBride (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions. McBride should be considered questionable to play in the Week 4 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 24-year-old will have to pass through the NFL's protocols for head injuries throughout the week and must be cleared by an independent neurologist before being allowed to play on Sunday. McBride has yet to score through the first three weeks of the season, but he does have 14 receptions on 21 targets for 122 yards as a surefire TE1 in fantasy lineups. Fantasy managers are obviously going to need to have a backup plan in place in case he's not cleared for Week 4. If McBride sits, Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman figure to split TE duties in Arizona.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is expected to miss some time with a hamstring injury that he suffered in the Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, according to sources. An exact timetable for Thielen's return is unclear at the moment, but he will miss time. The veteran wideout had three receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown from veteran quarterback Andy Dalton before leaving Sunday's contest with his injury. The news comes after the 34-year-old had an MRI exam on Monday. It's tough news for Thielen, who was becoming interesting again in fantasy with quarterback Bryce Young on the bench. As long as Dalton remains under center, Thielen should have a higher fantasy ceiling, although it's hard to recommend stashing him in shallow leagues since he has no timeline for a return. Rookie Xavier Legette could be worth waiver consideration in deeper leagues with Thielen out.

ennessee Titans cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (groin) suffered a groin injury in the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday that could land him on Injured Reserve. If Awuzie is forced to IR, it would cost him at least the next four games. The Titans have their bye in Week 5, so the earliest Awuzie could return if they place him on IR this week would be for a Week 9 contest against the New England Patriots. The 29-year-old is in his first season with Tennessee and has recorded four tackles (three solo) in his first three games in 2024. The 0-3 Titans are going to be a bit more vulnerable in their secondary with Awuzie injured as they prepare for a Week 4 matchup on the road at Hard Rock Stadium against the Miami Dolphins, who might be forced to start third-string quarterback Tim Boyle. Expect Jarvis Brownlee and Darrell Baker to get more opportunities with Awuzie set to miss time.

Dynasty | Chefs wide receiver Rashee Rice had 12 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs win against Atlanta. Dynasty Analysis: And the beat goes on. At this point, Rice's three-game total of 288 receiving yards is good for second in the NFL and his targets rank third. In other words, Rice has taken over Travis Kelce's spot as the top weapon for Patrick Mahomes and has made every other receiver a secondary option. While there are concerns about a possible suspension, it's not going to stop Rice's ascension in dynasty rankings.

Dynasty | Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy had two catches for 17 yards in the Chiefs win against the Falcons. Dynasty Analysis: He added 13 rushing yards on three carries. After his two-touchdown debut, Worthy now has two straight weeks with exactly two catches for 17 yards, each of them more disappointing than the last. At this point, the Chiefs offense is running through Rashee Rice and Worthy is being used as a situational deep threat or a running option. There will be better days ahead, but it really is looking like more of a development year for Worthy than anything else.
