Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt (calf) is expected to play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Szmyt had a scare on Friday, but he's cleared to kick in Week 3. The rookie has had an up-and-down start, missing a game-winning attempt in Week 1 and converting his only try in Week 2. Facing a tough Packers defense, the Browns' offense may struggle to generate scoring opportunities, limiting Szmyt's fantasy upside. He should remain off fantasy lineups for Week 3.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is off to a sluggish start in 2025. Since the arrival of quarterback Caleb Williams, Moore has averaged just 56 yards per game with six touchdowns across 19 games. The chemistry between the two has yet to click, and Moore's role has clearly diminished with second-year receiver Rome Odunze emerging as the Bears' WR1. That said, Week 3 offers a get-right opportunity. The Dallas Cowboys allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2024 and just gave up a monster performance to Malik Nabers (167 yards, two TDs) in Week 2. While Moore's ceiling is capped by Odunze's rise, the matchup keeps him firmly in play as a high-end WR3 with upside this week.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Swift has been limited in practice all three days this week and enters Week 3 with the questionable tag. Swift is coming off a mixed outing against his former team, where he logged 12 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for six yards in the Bears' blowout loss to the Lions. While the production was solid against a tough Detroit run defense, Swift's costly fumble and the emergence of rookie Kyle Monangai stood out. Swift played 56% of the snaps compared to Monangai's 42%, though that split may have been skewed by the game script once the contest got out of hand. Swift remains the Bears' lead back and draws a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, who allowed the third-most yards per carry in 2024 and have continued to struggle against the run in 2025. Assuming Swift is active, he has a clear path to finishing as a top-20 fantasy running back this week. If inactive, Monangai would take over the workload, with Roschon Johnson sliding into the backup role. Look for the Bears to activate a running back off the practice squad on Saturday, which would signal that Swift will be inactive.

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren (toe) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 3. Warren logged back-to-back limited practices after sitting out Wednesday, clearing the way for him to suit up. The rookie has been a breakout star to start the 2025 season, catching 11 of 16 targets for 155 yards through two games. While the Titans allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2024, Warren's usage and talent make him a must-start TE1 moving forward.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Week 3's matchup against the New York Giants. Worthy practiced in a limited fashion during the week, but the team isn't ready to put him back on the field after his Week 1 dislocated shoulder against the Los Angeles Chargers. In his absence, Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton each carry standalone fantasy value, while Patrick Mahomes' ceiling takes a noticeable hit without his premier deep threat. The next opportunity for Worthy's return will be Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. First of all, Karty himself has been underwhelming this season, going 5-for-6 on extra points and only having two field goal attempts. Quite simply, the Rams are scoring too many touchdowns and aren't stalling enough in field goal territory for Karty to produce points. Additionally, Karty is headed for a relatively tricky matchup this week against the Eagles, who have surrendered the 15th-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. Managers in most leagues can find better kicking options than Karty this week.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) will avoid injured reserve after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Falcons. Despite the injury, McCarthy was able to finish the game and is now out of his walking boot as he begins ramping up his recovery. The Vikings head to London for Weeks 4 and 5 before a Week 6 bye, giving McCarthy a natural window to rest. While he is expected to travel with the team, his exact return timeline remains unclear. With McCarthy already ruled out for Week 3, veteran Carson Wentz will take over as the starter.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to rank in must-start territory ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Nacua has dominated through two games, totaling 18 catches, 221 receiving yards, 45 rushing yards, and one touchdown. Even with a snap share around 70 percent, the young receiver has remained a high-volume option and one of Matthew Stafford's favorite targets. Furthermore, he has shown that he can co-exist alongside Davante Adamsand that both receivers can be top-24 fantasy options in any given week. While this week's matchup is tough -- the Eagles have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to receivers -- Nacua should still be able to produce as a low-end WR1 in fantasy football, especially if Los Angeles adopts a somewhat negative game script.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has inched his way back onto the fantasy radar ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. While he's not startable and may not even be worth rostering in most leagues, managers should absolutely monitor his production as he takes on a larger role in the Rams' offense. Just last week, he caught two passes for 42 yards. He did so while handling a 64 percent snap share, which was only five percent lower than star teammate Puka Nacua. If Whittington continues to see the field for roughly two-thirds of Los Angeles' plays, he's bound to have some fantasy-relevant showings, especially in an offense that passes the football so well. It will be interesting to see if he can continue to demonstrate momentum this week, but the odds are stacked against him. Philadelphia's defense has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers in 2025.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is quickly building on his second-year breakout. In Week 2, the 2024 ninth-overall pick delivered a monster outing, catching seven of 11 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns against the Lions. Odunze played 100% of the snaps, firmly establishing himself as the WR1 in Chicago's offense. He now draws a favorable Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, a defense that allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2024 and just gave up a blow-up game to Malik Nabers. With this matchup carrying the second-highest over/under of the week and the Bears' shaky defense likely forcing them into a pass-heavy script, Odunze is set up for another big day. Odunze should be treated as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside in Week 3.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee isn't a reliable fantasy option at the moment, but he's certainly trending upward ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran saw his snap share jump to 75 percent last week as he caught all four of his targets for 37 yards. His increased usage was partly due to him playing well, but it was also a product of Colby Parkinson (shoulder) missing the game. Parkinson is questionable for Week 3, and his ultimate status on gameday will play a role in determining Higbee's exact involvement. For now, Higbee is a low-end TE2 in fantasy football against an Eagles defense allowing the 18th-most points to tight ends.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is trending toward handling a larger role going forward, but his productivity could be held in check ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Corum saw his snap share jump from 17 percent to 30 percent in Week 2, and he also scored a touchdown while rushing for 44 yards on five carries. While a favorable matchup against the Titans may have boosted his efficiency, it appears that the Rams are still looking to get him more involved. Even if he handles around one-third of the snaps in Week 3, though, he won't be a reliable fantasy option. Williams profiles as the Rams' short-yardage back and their go-to option around the goal line, and Corum will likely see reduced efficiency against an Eagles defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 3, per The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Worthy dislocated his shoulder in Week 1's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and has yet to return to game action. Without Worthy, the Chiefs' passing game has lacked production against the Philadelphia Eagles, outside of one deep connection to Tyquan Thornton. In his absence, Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Thornton should continue to see expanded roles, while Patrick Mahomes' ceiling takes a hit without his top vertical threat. The next realistic target for Worthy's return is Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott could be in line to see more snaps in Week 3 against the Raiders with tight end John Bates (groin) out. Sinnott has operated as Washington's third tight end since being drafted in the second round of last year's draft, but he has a chance to see a career high in snaps this week. Sinnott only played three snaps total and caught one ball for eight yards with Bates injured in Week 2's loss to the Packers, and how often he plays in Week 3 will be telling for the second-year tight end. He's not a direct replacement for Bates because he's not as good a blocker at the point of attack, but he is solid at blocking on the move and is an excellent athlete. There could be some specific packages for Sinnott against the Raiders, and getting a real look at him in game action will be noteworthy for his dynasty value. But he isn't on radars in redraft leagues for Week 3.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams continues to rank in must-start territory ahead of his Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. After a relatively quiet season opener, the veteran was promised more opportunities in the passing game, and Matthew Stafford delivered. Adams caught six of 13 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown last week, giving him momentum ahead of Week 3. While this week's matchup is tough -- the Eagles have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to receivers -- Adams should still be able to produce as a mid-range WR2 in fantasy football, especially if Los Angeles adopts a somewhat negative game script.

Tennessee Titans kicker Joey Slye has been on fire to start the 2025 season, hitting all eight of his field-goal attempts and averaging 16 fantasy points per game. Even with Tennessee's offensive and defensive struggles, Slye has been one of the most reliable fantasy options at the position, ranking third in fantasy. Week 3 presents a tougher challenge against the Indianapolis Colts, who have yet to allow a field goal this season. With the Titans entering as five-point underdogs, there's a chance this matchup turns into more of a "go-for-it" game script rather than relying on field goals. Slye still profiles as a starting kicker in Week 3, but managers should be aware of the added risk tied to Tennessee's offensive inconsistencies.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is no longer a surefire RB1, especially in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams saw his workload take a step back last week as he totaled 70 percent of the offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Blake Corum's snap share jumped to 30 percent, and the second-year back also scored a touchdown. While Williams remains the lead back in Los Angeles, he isn't necessarily a guaranteed workhorse anymore. He's going to continue to face competition, and he'll also have to deal with a tough matchup this week. The Eagles have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to running backs, and they held the Chiefs' backfield to just 55 total rushing yards in Week 2. Williams drops to the low-end RB2 range for this week.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is off to a promising fantasy start despite the team's 0-2 record. The 2024 first-overall pick is averaging 21.1 fantasy points per game, putting him on pace to finish as the QB10. A major part of his success has come on the ground, where Williams ranks fourth among quarterbacks in rushing yards and fifth in rushing fantasy points from the quarterback position. This week, Williams takes on the Dallas Cowboys and his former head coach, Matt Eberflus. While some worry that Eberflus' familiarity with Williams could pose problems, new Bears head coach Ben Johnson has a proven track record against the Dallas defensive coordinator. During his time with the Lions, Johnson's offenses topped 30 points in four of six meetings against Eberflus' defenses. Meanwhile, the Cowboys' defense has been a liability, giving up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks in both 2024 and 2025, while allowing the most rushing yards and touchdowns to quarterbacks in both seasons. In what projects to be a high-scoring affair, Williams profiles as a mid QB1 for Week 3.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Spencer Shrader will head on the road to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Shrader has gotten off to a hot start, having hit all nine of his field-goal attempts and adding five extra points through two games. The Colts have been better on offense than expected, ranking fourth in the NFL with 31.0 points per game, which has afforded Shrader extra field-goal attempts thus far. Fantasy gamers can consider the Indy kicker a top-12 option heading into Week 3.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed 16 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in Week 2's 22-6 victory over the Vikings, the secondstraight week he's reached double-digit carries,and he even caught one pass for four yards. The 25-year-old tallied double-digit carries five times all last season, so it bodes well for his usage that he was able to reach the double-digit plateau in both a pass-heavy game and a run-heavy game this early in the season. With the Falcons as five-point favorites in Week 3, it sets up as a spot for the team to lean more run than pass, and if Atlanta intends to keep Bijan Robinson fresh, Allgeier shouldcontinue to see involvement. The BYU product's best game in 2024 came in Week 6 against Carolina, rushing 18 times for 105 yards and a touchdown, and he added nine rushes for 52 in the Week 18 rematch. The Panther defense hasn't improved, so Allgeier should be viewed as a low-end RB3 or Flex option on Sunday.
