There's already been plenty of bad news on the WRfront, as Antonio Brown (COVID), Diontae Johnson (knee), and Ru sell Gage (ankle) have been ruled out and Tee Higgins (shoulder) and Jamison Crowder (groin) are "doubtful." Hopefully, you've already planned ahead for life without those guys, but it's the "questionable" pa s-catchers, such as DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Golladay, Marquise Brown, Darnell Mooney, and Evan Engram, who will cause start 'em, sit 'em headaches right up until kickoff. We're here to help with the latest updates on these players so you can finalize your Week 3 fantasy lineups.We'll be updating this post with the latest news on these players right up until kickoff, so check back throughout the morning.

For all the latest fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Is DeAndre Hopkins playing Week 3?UPDATE:ESPN's Adam Schefter that Hopkins is "likely" to play.UPDATE 2:Hopkins is officially ACTIVE.Hopkins (ribs) didn't practice this week and is apparently a true "" ahead of Arizona's Week 3 game in Jacksonville. Hopkins has played without William Perry Jersey practicing before, so we're hopeful he can suit up, but fantasy owners should have a backup ready.Obviously, Hopkins is a must-start if active, but if he's out, Rondale Moore, Christian Kirk, and even A.J. Green all see boosts in value, with the former two being in play as potential WR2/3s. Even TE Maxx Williams has a slightly better outlook and can be considered in deep leagues or DFS contests.WEEK 3 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Is Kenny Golladay playing Week 3?UPDATE:GIants beat writer Pat Leonard reported Sunday morning that Golladay is expected to play but against the Falcons.UPDATE 2:Golladay is officially ACTIVE but reportedly will see reduced snaps.Golladay (hip) was limited in practice all week and officially "" for Week 3's game against the Falcons. Considering Golladay's length injury history -- including hislayoff because of hip problems last year -- it wouldn't be a surprise if Taylor Gabriel Jersey he sat this one out.If Golladay plays, it will be tough to bench him against the porous Falcons pa s defense. If he's out, Sterling Shepard has even more value, and Darius Slayton becomes a solid WR3 option. TE Evan Engram (if active), also sees a bump in value.WEEK 3 DFS LINEUPS: | | Is Marquise Brown playing Week 3?UPDATE:Brown is officially ACTIVE.Brown (ankle) mi sed practice on Thursday but returned to on Friday, putting him on track on play on Sunday in Detroit.If Hollywood can't go, Sammy Watkins would be in play as a WR3 in fantasy, and Devin Duvernay would also see more targets. Brown is a must-start if active given the matchup and his hot start to the season.MORE WEEK 3 DFS: | | Is Darnell Mooney playing Week 3?UPDATE:Mooney is officially ACTIVE.Mooney has been "questionable" every week this season, but in Weeks 1 and 2, it because of a back ailment. This week, it's because of a sore groin. He managed to get in all week, though, so there's a good chance he suits up against the Browns.Mooney has seen seven and eight targets, respectively, this season, so Bobby Massie Jersey he continues to have a decent floor in PPR leagues, but his ceiling seems fairly low, especially in a neutral matchup like this. If Mooney can't play, expect more targets for Marquise Goodwin (who's also "questionable" because of an ankle injury) and perhaps for TE Cole Kmet.WEEK 3 FANTASY: | | Is Evan Engram playing Week 3?UPDATE:Engram is officially ACTIVE.NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Engram is against the Falcons.Engram got in limited practices this week and Cody Whitehair Jersey is officially "" ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta. Engram mi sed the first two games of the year because of a sore calf, so it's po sible the Giants continue to play it safe with him. However, he's been trending toward playing, so he seems more "probable" than truly "questionable."If Engram is out, Kyle Rudolph will once again start and have minimal fantasy value, even in a favorable matchup. If Engram is active, he has legit TE1 potential, especially if Kenny Golladay (hip) is out.

Jerry Jones has been quite chatty during the Cowboys' offseason. And every time that he speaks, he seems to say something about Mike McCarthy that raises eyebrows.McCarthy is preparing for his third season coaching the Cowboys, but there were some rumblings that the team could Jeff Criswell Jersey move on from him after a disappointing playoff exit. Dallas ultimately kept him, but at times during the offseason, it seems like Jerry Jones has undermined him.Take, for example, Jones' praise of Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Jones was elated that Quinn decided to return to Dallas despite several teams having an interest in him as a head coaching candidate.BENDER: How did the Dallas owner expre s his feelings? By saying that Quinn could be taking a Sean Payton or Jason Garrett-type path to another head coaching job. And if the Cowboys' coaching job ever opened up, Quinn would be a candidate."He's certainly qualified. He's very qualified," Jones said on 105.3FM the Fan in early February, per . "Yes, I would consider. If I didn't have a coach, I would have been interviewing him for coach."As if that wasn't bad enough, Jones followed that up with this comment about McCarthy."Mike knows that someday somebody other than him will be coach of the Cowboys," Jones said.That's quite a ringing endorsement.MORE: So, what is McCarthy to make of all this? The Cowboys' coach was asked about it Fitzgerald Toussaint Jersey during a recent appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show," and he explained that ."I have an excellent relationship with Jerry Jones," McCarthy told Eisen. "At the end of the day, we both want the same thing: to win a world championship. Hey, definitely, the narratives are unusual. But at the end of the day, I think youve got to trust the relationships, the communication and the connection you have in our leadership group. I think were doing everything we po sibly can to build a championship team here."That includes keeping Quinn, another person with whom McCarthy has a good relationship. As McCarthy explained, he is happy to keep Quinn around even despite the buzz that Quinn has gotten on the coaching market."Obviously, when he took the interview and this narrative broke out, in a reflection of the relationship that Dan and I do have, he just said 'Hey, man. Im not comfortable with this narrative. If you really feel like I need to take one of these jobs, just be honest Brandon Graham Jersey ,'" McCarthy said. "And we kind of laughed about it and I just said 'Dan, 10-12 years ago, Id tell you to please get the hell out of here, I dont want to deal with this.' But the reality of it is Im about winning, hes about winning and the best thing for the Cowboys is for Dan Quinn to be here."The Cowboys' winning or lack thereof has been one of the driving forces surrounding the narrative that McCarthy could be replaced. Dallas imploded in his first Moritz Wagner Jersey season as head coach, as Dak Prescott got hurt and the team's defense was terrible. There was buzz that he could be one-and-done because of that.IYER: Fast forward another year and that buzz remained, even despite the Cowboys posting a 12-5 regular-season record. Why? Because they couldn't get a win in the playoffs when it mattered most. And given how long it has been since Dallas made it to a Super Bowl, the pre sure is mounting for McCarthy.The veteran coach is well aware of that, and that's why he's taking Jones' perceived slights of him with a grain of salt. It's just frustration leaking out and a reminder that he needs to keep winning to be perfectly safe in his job."When you lose, criticism is going to come," McCarthy said. "Its going to come heavier and harder than probably youve ever experienced in your life when you work at the Dallas Cowboys. Thats part of the landscape. So thats why you just keep plugging."The advancement we made from Year 1 to Year 2 was impre sive. We know we have more to offer. The emotion and sting of how we lost is real. But in my lifetime in this league, itll make us better."At the end of the day, its about winning. Everything we do here on a daily basis is about winning."If the Cowboys can win, perhaps Jones won't be quite as focused on Willie Henry Jersey who the next coach of the Cowboys may be.

There has been a lot of movement in fantasy football average draft position (ADP) over the last week as drafters react to moves made in the NFL. The next week will Joseph Noteboom Jersey see a lot of draft action, so make note of all the transactions before you draft that winning team. Lets take a look at some of the significant risers and fallers in ADP, such as rookie RBs Zack Mo s and D'Andrew Swift, and whether they could be potential bargain sleepersor overpriced hype.Remember to check the dates on the ADP data you are following. Data from the beginning of draft season can be misleading and cause you to take someone too early or mi s out on them. All ADP averages are taken from the NFFC comparing the period of 5/1/20 to 8/26/20 and 8/27/20 to 9/2/20.MORE FROM FANTASY ALARM: | DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Fantasy Football Mock Draft: ADP RisersRyquell Armstead, Devine Ozigbo, Chris Thompson, RBs, JaguarsWith the release of Leonard Fournette, the trio of Ryquell Armstead, Chris Thompson, and Devine Ozigbo have all seen their ADP rise rapidly. The speculation is of a committee, but Armstead holds the lead. Armstead this week has gone to 104.5 from 186 (with the earliest being 52nd);Thompson 136.4 from 211; and Ozigbo 296 to 200. Some will stay away as this puts this backfield into Patriots territory, but those who have drafted them earlier in drafts are set to reap Tyler Higbee Jersey the benefits.Zack Mo s, RB, BillsWhen Mo s was drafted in April, he was expected to spell Devin Singletary and po sibly be the goal-line back. With reports of Singletary getting a case of fumbleitis,"Mo s has made a major move in ADP. His overall ADP since February is 113, but over the last week, it has jumped to 83. If you were expecting to get him in the 10th round, you have to do it in the seventh now. If he does take over for Singletary, he will be a strong RB3/4; Tyrunn Walker Jersey if he doesnt, youre overpaying at this price.Joshua Kelley, RB, ChargersKelley was a fourth-round pick in the 2020 draft out of UCLA and was expected to compete with Justin Jackson to back up Austin Ekeler. Reports out of Chargers camp has Kelley practicing with the first team on goal-line drills. He has seemingly not only beaten out Jackson but may even steal some touches from Ekeler. His ADP has gone to 162 over the last week and is now being drafted ahead of Jackson. As a 14th-round selection, Kelley can add depth to your RB position and be a viable bye-week/injury fill-in.Preston Williams, WR, DolphinsWilliams mi sed a significant amount of the season last year after tearing his ACL. Recovered, he has been impre sing those watching in Miami. Fantasy football ownersare noticing and have moved him up almost two rounds in the last week.

Wentz continues to tumble as his offensive line took another hit losing LT Andre Dillard, and WR Jalen Reagor is expected to mi s the first month because a shoulder injury. From 8/20-27 Wentzs ADP was 96.9 and it has fallen to 107.7 over the last week. The Eagles and Wentz overcame a ton of injuries last season to their WR corps and, at times, their OL. This could be a buying Jacob McQuaide Jersey opportunity in Philadelphia.D'Andre Swift, RB, LionsSwift is the heralded rookie for the Lions out of Georgia. He is expected to compete with Kerryon Johnson for the RB1 role, but a legtinjury has sidelined him for almost two weeks. This has led to his fall down the draft board. Its been difficult for rookies this season with the lack of OTAs and preseason games, but mi sing two weeks of training camp might cause Swift to fall back a bit in the rotation. Hes fallen back by almost a round going from 52 to 61. Thats a lot of draft capital on a rookie with an injury. Take at your own risk.Mike Williams, WR, ChargersWilliams has the talent to be a premier WR in the NFL but has not produced on a consistent basis. Now with a shoulderinjury expecting to sideline him for at least week one, he is someone that is being Jalen Ramsey Jersey targeted as a late-round depth pick. With Philip Rivers off to Indianapolis and Tyrod Taylor taking over, Williams value has dropped. He has dropped 10 spots over the last week as compared to the full drafting season going from 125 to 135.

There has been a lot of movement in fantasy football average draft position (ADP) over the last week as drafters react to moves made in the NFL. The next week will Joseph Noteboom Jersey see a lot of draft action, so make note of all the transactions before you draft that winning team. Lets take a look at some of the significant risers and fallers in ADP, such as rookie RBs Zack Mo s and D’Andrew Swift, and whether they could be potential bargain sleepersor overpriced hype.Remember to check the dates on the ADP data you are following. Data from the beginning of draft season can be misleading and cause you to take someone too early or mi s out on them.

Some will stay away as this puts this backfield into Patriots territory, but those who have drafted them earlier in drafts are set to reap Tyler Higbee Jersey the benefits.Zack Mo s, RB, BillsWhen Mo s was drafted in April, he was expected to spell Devin Singletary and po sibly be the goal-line back. With reports of Singletary getting a case of fumbleitis,”Mo s has made a major move in ADP. His overall ADP since February is 113, but over the last week, it has jumped to 83. If you were expecting to get him in the 10th round, you have to do it in the seventh now.

Reports out of Chargers camp has Kelley practicing with the first team on goal-line drills. He has seemingly not only beaten out Jackson but may even steal some touches from Ekeler.
