Fantasy Injury Updates Week 3 Latest news on WRs Christian Watson Brandin Cooks Jakobi Meyers

Get the Raid out, fantasy football owners -- it's injury bug season. It continues to bite and sink its teeth into players acro s the league, claiming everyone from stars to practice squad players. Christian Watson has yet to suit up this season for the Packers after an impre sive rookie campaign, while Brandin Cooks and Jakobi Meyers were hoping to make good impre sions on their new teams before succumbing to ailments. Can any get off the shelf and back on the field in Week 3?If they return to their teams, we let you know how Bobby Evans Jersey to proceed with yours. If they don't, we highlight the receivers that benefit and the waiver wire moves you should be making in advance of Week 3.Below, we'll give you the latest news on these important WRs and break down how their injuries could potentially affect the Week 3 and season-long fantasy landscape.WEEK 3 FANTASY: | | For the latest injury updates onQBs Joe Burrowand Anthony Richardson, ; for more on injured WRsDavante Adams,Jaylen Waddle,Garrett Wilson, andOdell Beckham Jr., ;for updates on RBs Saquon Barkley and David Montgomery, ;for news on more ailing RBsAustin Ekeler, Aaron Jones and Kenneth Gainwell, .Caution seems to be the name of the game for the Packers and Watson. The second year receiver returned to practice in a limited capacity last week, but he was eventually ruled out. Hamstring injuries can be pesky, so it makes sense for Green Bay to slow play his return. As long as Watson doesnt suffer a setback, he appears to Gerald Everett Jersey be on track to ramp up even more in practice before making his season debut in Week 3 against the Saints.If Watson cant go, its the same story for Green Bays offense. Well look to Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed to handle the bulk of the targets, something the duo has proven capable of through two weeks. Theyve taken turns in scoring touchdowns, with Doubs scoring twice in Week 1 before Reed did the same in Week 2. Reeds target share and yardage production give him the edge over Doubs against a solid Saints defense, however. Outside of Green Bay, Tutu Atwell, Josh Reynolds, and Tank Dell are widely available in Yahoo leagues and would be worth your consideration, whether you need the receivers or not.WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | After a debate over whether Cooks would play, the fairly durable receiver ended up sitting out a Sundays contest against the Jets. It turned out to be a good decision by Dallas, who couldve Lamarcus Joyner Jersey rested all their starters except for CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons and still likely wouldve won. , the expectation is that Cooks should be ready for the Cowboys Week 3 scrimmage against the Cardinals, another team that likely wont pose much of a threat. Since Cooks health doesnt seem to be in question, it seems like the team would only hold him out in an abundance of caution. Considering the opponent and Dallas hot start, it might not be a bad idea.If Cooks plays, hell be a flex option, though he better get his early because Dallas doesn't figure to pa s much in the second half. Jalen Tolbert and Michael Gallup will battle it out for secondary targets if Cooks is out, but we wouldn't use either in fantasy. Elsewhere, we encourage you to consider Tutu Atwell, Tank Dell, or Josh Reynolds, all of whom are worth picking up this week, as they are widely available in Yahoo leagues.WEEK 3 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | , Meyers is "heading in the right direction" in trying to Merlin Olsen Jersey clear concu sion protocol. The scary injury occurred when he was leveled by the Broncos' Kareem Jackson late in the Raiders' Week 1 win. As expected, he mi sed Week 2, but he appears to be on track for a return this week ahead of the team's home opener. Even though it wasn't close, the Raiders mi sed their WR2 in Buffalo, as Davante Adams had to carry the load on offense in what became a 38-10 lo s. Meyers had a solid showing in the opener with nine catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns. His rapport with Jimmy Garoppolo is solid, and McDaniels' definitely values Meyers in the offense, as well.With Meyers seemingly on track to play, he warrants a spot in your lineup based on that volume in Week 1. It's clear that he's a favorite target of the quarterback and thrives while most of the attention is paid to Adams, who's dealing with Kenny Young Jersey a head injury of his own. If Meyers can't go, Hunter Renfrow will once again receiver an upgrade, though we don't recommend starting him unle s both Adams and Meyers are out. As with the other receivers on this list, Atwell, Dell, and Reynolds demand your consideration on the waiver wire if you're looking for options outside of Vegas.
