The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Friday that wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is officially questionable for the Week 3 game on Sunday night against the New York Giants. Worthy was limited all week after suffering a dislocated right shoulder and torn labrum in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The 22-year-old did not play in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl rematch, but he apparently will try to give it a go this weekend if he's cleared. With kickoff for Chiefs and Giants not coming until late on Sunday night, we'd advise fantasy managers to play it safe and go in another direction, even in a tempting matchup. If Worthy is active, he'll also be susceptible to a lower number of snaps if he's not 100%. If he misses a second straight game, Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton will start in three-receiver sets with Rashee Rice still suspended.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (wrist) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Houston Texans. Thomas was able to fully practice on Friday, which was enough for the Jags to clear him for this game. The star wideout has been dealing with a wrist injury early in the season, but hopefully he has put it behind him. Thomas has been off to a slow start with five receptions for 60 yards and zero touchdowns through two games. Despite that, Thomas remains a must-start against the Texans in Week 3. Thomas has too much upside to put him on the bench right now.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos due to a possible right MCL sprain, an injury he sustained during the team's Monday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran tight end had one catch for seven yards before leaving the game toward the end of the first half. He returned and played in the fourth quarter wearing a brace. With Dissly out, fantasy managers should expect increased opportunities for tight ends Tyler Conklin and Tucker Fisk, and possibly rookie Oronde Gadsden, who was a healthy scratch last week.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker had another perfect night in the team's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, making two field goals and converting both extra points for an eight-point night. Dicker will face a tough Denver Broncos defense and may need to rely on his leg and accuracy throughout the game. The Chargers are expected to score around 24 points, but with the Broncos tied for the second-lowest Red Zone TD% allowed, Dicker could see more opportunities to attempt field goals during the game. RotoBaller projects him as K5 this week, and he's a strong start for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Kraft suffered a knee injury during Thursday's practice and as a result he won't suit up for Friday's practice. Head coach Matt LaFleur doesn't believe Kraft will go to the injured reserve, but he's unsure if Kraft will be ready to go in time for Sunday's game. His absence would mean Luke Musgrave becomes the starting tight end in Green Bay. Musgrave is an interesting streaming option with the Packers shorthanded on offensive weapons. They will also be without Jayden Reed (shoulder), so Musgrave could be asked to pick up the slack if Kraft is so sidelined. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Kraft, but they should get another tight end prepared just in case.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (foot) is listed as doubtful ahead of the Week 3 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. This isn't what fantasy managers want to see as Charbonnet has been unable to practice all week due to a foot issue. His absence is going to mean Kenneth Walker III is likely to see a large workload on Sunday. The two backs have been splitting up the duties with Charbonnet seeing 27 rushing attempts through two games. Now, Walker is going to be leaned on heavy in the running game against a shaky defensive unit. Fantasy managers should check back for another update just in case Charbonnet does get better. However, they should prepare to be without him for Sunday's game. Walker is looking like a must-start for Week 3 without any viable options behind him.

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram (back) has been unable to practice all week which puts his status for Sunday's game in jeopardy. It has been a rough start to the season for Engram who suffered a calf injury in the season opener. Now, Engram is in danger of missing Week 3 due to a lingering back issue. Despite that, head coach Sean Payton said that Engram is going to play a big role in the offense. So far this season, Engram has four receptions for 33 yards through the first two games of the season. When healthy, Engram certainly has TE1 potential, but fantasy managers can't wait all year for that to happen. Hopefully once he's healthy, Engram can start becoming a bigger contributor. In the meantime, Adam Trautman will likely have a larger role in Week 3 if Engram is sidelined.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. That being said, Goedert won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Goedert has been bothered by a knee injury that kept him sidelined last week. He appears to be ready to return to his normal role this week. Goedert hauled in all seven of his targets for 44 yards in the season opener. He should be considered a fine TE1 for the upcoming matchup against the Rams.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris saw his snap share rise from 18% to 34% in Monday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The team continues to involve him more after a superficial eye injury kept him out of the preseason. While his running mate Omarion Hampton continues to underperform, Harris should get more touches, especially in a game where the Denver Broncos' defense seems stronger against the pass than the run. The veteran made a crucial first down to help secure the win on Monday night and finished with eight carries for 28 yards. Although his usage is increasing, it's not yet at a level where fantasy managers should rely on him. RotoBaller projects him as RB47 this week, so it's best to keep him on your bench and monitor his utilization closely.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Parker Romo signed a two-year deal with the organization on Friday. After a perfect debut last week, the Falcons have decided to go with Romo as their kicker moving forward. Romo knocked down all five of his field goal attempts during last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, Younghoe Koo was released by the organization on Friday. Koo missed a game-tying field goal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the season opener. Apparently, that was enough for the Falcons to move on from him. Possibly, Koo gets another chance elsewhere, but he doesn't need to be rostered in fantasy formats right now. As for Romo, he's looking like a solid streaming option against the shaky Carolina Panthers defense in Week 3.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton struggled in Monday's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie finished with eight carries for 24 yards and caught one pass for one yard. He ran hard, but the Raiders' defense shut down the run all night. His snap count decreased from 80% to 62%, and with Najee Harris becoming more involved, this could be a crucial week for the rookie. Although the Denver Broncos' defense just allowed 165 rushing yards to Jonathan Taylor, they still maintain a strong front. Even though the Chargers have relied more on the passing game early in the season, Hampton needs to make the most of this starting opportunity, or he might end up sharing more playing time in the future. Fantasy managers should consider Hampton a low-end RB2 for this week.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) said he's "taking it day by day" when asked by reporters about his chances to play in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. Likely had foot surgery in August and missed Baltimore's first two games of the season, but he has returned to practice in a limited capacity. The 25-year-old had 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns across 16 games in 2024. Upon his return, he's a candidate to steal playing time away from Ravens veteran tight end Mark Andrews. Andrews has just two catches so far in 2025, so Likely could even take over as Baltimore's TE1 at some point in 2025. Neither player profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end when sharing the field, but Likely may have the higher upside at this point in their respective careers.

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren (toe) is questionable to play in his team's Week 3 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Warren has been limited in practice due to a toe injury. The 23-year-old has been a featured piece of the Colts' offense early on. Through two games, Warren has been targeted 16 times, hauling in 11 catches for 155 yards. If he can't play on Sunday, Colts tight ends Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree could be in line for increased playing time, while wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs would likely see an increase in target volume. If Warren is active, he's a must-start fantasy tight end in Week 3 against Tennessee.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert looked sharp in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 19 of 27 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 31 rushing yards on nine carries. Herbert has appeared poised and confident through two weeks, and he'll need to stay on his game against a tough Denver Broncos defense. While the Broncos have elite talent, they just allowed 29 points to the Indianapolis Colts. Although some analysts believe the Chargers may lean more on the run this week, Herbert's talent and recent performance still make him a strong start. RotoBaller projects him as QB7 this week, and he should be a top choice in all formats.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has said that Parker Romo will be the team's kicker in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers, according to a team announcement. Romo took over for veteran kicker Younghoe Koo in Week 2 after Koo missed a critical kick in Atlanta's season-opening loss. Koo remains on the active roster while Romo is on the practice squad, but that could be set to change at some point over the next few weeks. Romo came through in his first game for Atlanta last week, nailing all five of his field goal attempts and his lone extra-point try. The 28-year-old is a low-end starting kicker option in fantasy this week against Carolina.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals (knee) is officially listed as questionable for his team's Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants. Royals has missed Kansas City's first two games of 2025 as he battles knee tendinitis, but he was able to log full practices on both Thursday and Friday heading into Week 3. A fourth-round pick out of Utah State, Royals was reportedly opening some eyes in camp before his knee started acting up. His role in the Chiefs' offense is unknown and may depend on the status of Xavier Worthy (shoulder), who is also questionable to play in Week 3 due to a torn labrum. Even if he's able to play, Royals would likely be behind Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton in the short term. However, the rookie could work into a bigger role as the season progresses. Royals is a name to monitor as a potential stash candidate in deep leagues.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quad) is questionable to play in his team's Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a quad injury, according to Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. Swift has dominated snaps at running back so far this year for Chicago, logging 134 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 35 total touches. If Swift were to miss Week 3, rookie running back Kyle Monangai would likely be the lead back in Chicago with Roschon Johnson potentially working in as a short-yardage option. Monangai has recorded just 47 scrimmage yards on nine total touches through his first two games. Dallas' defense has struggled so far this season, so Monangai would potentially have some appeal as a flex option if called into action as Chicago's RB1.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (groin, calf) will play in his team's week 3 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Slayton was limited in practice this week due to groin and calf issues, but will not carry an injury designation into the weekend. The 28-year-old has two catches for 61 yards on just four targets through his first two games of the season. Slayton appears to be firmly behind both Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson in the target pecking order among wide receivers in New York. Slayton should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

After missing Wednesday's practice and participating in a limited capacity on Thursday, Kyle Pitts Sr. (toe) logged a full practice on Friday and is off the injury report ahead of a Week 3 divisional clash with the Carolina Panthers. Pitts' 11 receptions through two weeks are tied for the team lead with wide receiver Drake London. In Carolina, Pitts faces the league's 31st-ranked defense against tight ends, a position they've struggled mightily to defend over the past year-plus, making him a viable starter at a position that many fantasy managers will spend the season streaming. However, given the Panthers' similar struggles against the running game, don't be surprised to see another heavy dose of Bijan Robinson, while the bulk of the team's passing work could go to London, as the team attempts to get him over the early-season hump he's faced.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (calf) is "good to go" for his team's Week 3 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Tracy Jr. was limited in practice this week due to a calf issue, but will not carry an injury designation into Sunday. The 25-year-old is off to a slow start this season. Through two games, Tracy Jr. has recorded just 39 rushing yards on 15 carries, although he does have six catches for 47 yards. Tracy Jr. may be in danger of losing the early-down role in New York to rookie running back Cam Skattebo, who had 11 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. Tracy Jr. profiles as an RB4/low-end deep-league flex play in Week 3.
