Will Christian Watson return to the field in Week 3?

Stefania Bell wonders if Christian Watson will return from injury in Week 3.

Who should you start with? Who should you sit with? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and avoid starting an offensive player who won’t be in the lineup, we’ll post fantasy-related updates and analysis here when NFL teams release their official inactive rosters. Any ratings mentioned in this column come from our website ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.

Official inactives on Sunday must begin arriving approximately 90 minutes prior to scheduled kickoff times: approximately 11:30 AM ET for early games and 2:30 PM ET for late afternoon games.

Update frequently to get the latest information.


Games are at 1 p.m. ET

Cordarrelle Patterson, RB, ATLDoubtful
Impact: Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgaier are doing well without him.

Judge Hill, RB, BALOutside
IMPACT: Gus Edwards will likely be Baltimore’s likely leader this weekend, with Kenyan Drake (newly signed) and Melvin Gordon III backing him up.

Odell Beckham Jr., WR, BALOutside
Impact: Nelson Agholor becomes a tricky fantasy option.

Josh Reynolds, WR, DETDoubtful
Impact: Practice was full on Friday, so there will likely be no need to get to the likes of Calif Raymond.

Amun-Ra St. Brown, WR, DETDoubtful
Impact: He also practiced on Friday and should join Reynolds and Marvin Jones Jr. in the Lions huddle.

David Montgomery, RB, DETDoubtful
Impact: Jahmyr Gibbs should handle the majority of the touches with Craig Reynolds also getting into the mix a bit.

Christian Watson, WR, GBDoubtful
Impact: He’s a game-time player and his return to things might be eased if he plays for the first time in Week 3. Proceed with caution.

Aaron Jones, RB, GBDoubtful
IMPACT: AJ Dillon is ready to once again handle quarterback duties if Jones can’t go.

Anthony Richardson, QB, INDOutside
IMPACT: He’s still in the league’s concussion protocol, so Gardner Mincio will start in his place.

Z Jones, WR, JacksOutside
Impact: Jamaal Agnew could see an uptick in fantasy value if Jones sits.

Austin Ekeler, RB, LACOutside
IMPACT: Joshua Kelly will lead the offense in the backcourt.

Jaylen Waddle, WR, MIAOutside
Impact: Robbie Chosen has been added to the coaching staff, making this news seem inevitable. Waddle will still have to clear the league’s concussion protocol in order to play in Week 4.

Salvon Ahmed, RB, MIADoubtful
Impact: De’Von Acane will likely get a chance to be Raheem Mostert’s primary replacement.

Cam Akers, RB, MINIt is unlikely to be active
Impact: Give him a few extra days to learn the rules of the game after the midweek trade. Ty Chandler should back up Alexander Mattison for at least one more Sunday.

Jamaal Williams, RB, NOoutside/infrared
IMPACT: Kendre Miller will get a chance to showcase his skills for the first time before suspended Alvin Kamara returns next week.

Foster Morrow, TE, NOOutside
Impact: Juwan Johnson will go a lot of ways but you never know where and when Taysom Hill will pop up in the Saints offense.

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, TENDoubtful
Impact: He trained more this week than last week with the same injury, and was active in the second week.

Logan Thomas, TE, WSHOutside
IMPACT: A combination of John Bates and Cole Turner will get a TE look in Washington while Thomas remains in the league’s concussion protocol.


Games are at 4 p.m. ET

Bryce Young, QB, CAROutside
Impact: Veteran Andy Dalton takes over for the Panthers, so expect a more pass-heavy game plan.

Richie James, WR, KCOutside
Effect: Rashee Rice should get some additional routes and objectives.

Kadarius Toney, WR, KCDoubtful
Impact: Skyy Moore gets an additional boost in value if Toney can’t play. It currently feels like a game time call.

Isiah Pacheco, RB, KCDoubtful
Impact: He played through hamstring issues in Week 2 and should be able to do so again.

DK Metcalf, WR, SEADoubtful
IMPACT: Currently expected to start on Sunday.

Deejay Dallas, RB, SEADoubtful
Impact: Illness could keep Dallas on the sidelines. Zach Charbonnet could get some extra touches behind Kenneth Walker III.

Will Disley, TE, SEADoubtful
Impact: Jaxon Smith-Njigba and/or Colby Parkinson may see more goals as a result.
