49ers’ WR Brandon Aiyuk, listed as questionable for tonight’s game due to a shoulder injury, is not expected to play vs. the Giants.

Related Players: Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, Ronnie Bell

The 49ers rarely have their "Big Four" all on the field simultaneously, which is a shame because it's such a fun offense to watch when it's rolling. We can expect a slight uptick in target share for both George Kittle and Deebo Samuel, while it's also likely Christian McCaffrey will get a little more action as a receiver. Though Jauan Jennings had a couple of big plays in the team's Week 2 victory, it's not enough to consider him in fantasy outside of DFS Showdown slates.

Panthers’ QB Andy Dalton is now expected to start Sunday at Seattle.

Bryce Young hasn't been the sharpest through his first two starts of his NFL career, so it's hard to call this a major downgrade for the Panthers fantasy pieces. Adam Thielen remains a decent enough Flex play, while Hayden Hurst is in the conversation as a top-20 tight end.

Isiah Pacheco is back to practice today for Chiefs. Willie Gay is back too. Toney, Bolton, Richie James are still out.

Related Players: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon

The Chiefs running backs are in a great spot this week, as the team are currently heavy favorites against a reeling Chicago Bears squad. Pacheco is a very strong RB2 for Week 3.

Packers’ RB Aaron Jones is back at practice today after missing last week’s game due to a hamstring injury.

Related Players: A.J. Dillon, Emanuel Wilson

Dillon performed fine in his Week 2 spot start, accruing 63 total yards, but it did take him 16 touches to get there. The Packers are once again dealing with offensive line injuries, but Jones should slide right back into a high-end RB2 role if he is fully healthy ahead of Week 3's matchup against the Saints.

Lions’ WR Amon-Ra St. Brown was back at practice today, but RB David Montgomery was not.

Related Players: Jahmyr Gibbs, Craig Reynolds

The Gibbs breakout game may be coming sooner than expected, but we imagine that the team will give Reynolds plenty of early-down run if Montgomery misses Week 3. Gibbs is currently ranked as the RB10 in 4for4's rankings.

Colts practice getting underway. No sign of QB Anthony Richardson (concussion) so far.

Gardner Minshew performed great in emergency duty in Week 2, completing 82.6% of his passes. Minshew should be on radars in SuperFlex leagues if he gets the Week 3 start against the Ravens.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor says QB Joe Burrow is "day to day." Says he doubts he'll have a full practice if he practices today. "Giving him time is best."

Related Players: Jake Browning

This is something we'll need to keep a close eye on, as the offense will be drastically different with Browning. The Bengals offense has been inept through two weeks and some of that blame could fall on Burrow's calf.

Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) will be, as expected, a game-time decision for 49ers-Giants on TNF, per John Lynch on KNBR

For a second straight day, Panthers’ rookie QB Bryce Young will not practice due to his ankle injury. Panthers’ QB Andy Dalton is now tracking to start Sunday at Seattle.

It's still early in the week, so we'll keep an eye on this, but it's just one more negative bit of news about a Panthers offense that already looks lost. In the deepest of deep Superflex leagues, feel free to go grab Andy Dalton.

Chargers’ RB Austin Ekeler, who missed last week’s game due to an ankle injury, is not practicing today.

Related players: Joshua Kelley, Elijah Dotson, Isaiah Spiller

The Chargers have a very pass-friendly matchup against the Titans in Week 3, which could see them shy away from the run. Chargers running backs (namely, Joshua Kelley) averaged 2.6 yards per carry last week and switched heavily into the pass once the second half started. We should expect more of that, heavily reducing Kelley's Week 3 stock.
