    Baker Mayfield and Jalen McMillan practiced fully Friday and have no game designation. The final report provides no new injury restriction for either player. Their fantasy outlook still depends on role and matchup, rather than assuming full participation guarantees strong production against Minnesota.

    Tennessee TitansPollard has no designation; Spears questionable

    Tony Pollard was limited Friday but has no game designation. Tyjae Spears returned to limited practice and is questionable. Daniel Bellinger also finished without a designation. Check Spears before the early Sunday kickoff and avoid treating either back's availability as a confirmed touch split.

    Washington CommandersDaniels and Okonkwo out; Mariota takes over

    Jayden Daniels is out with an elbow injury; Washington calls him week to week and does not plan to place him on injured reserve. Marcus Mariota will start against Seattle. Chig Okonkwo and Sam Cosmi are also out. Keep Mariota as a deeper superflex fallback and replace Okonkwo without assuming another Washington tight end inherits reliable volume.

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Reporting cutoff: September 25, 2026 · 8:50 p.m. MDT.

    Nico Collins and Mason Taylor are out, Puka Nacua is doubtful, and Brock Bowers and Zay Flowers are questionable. Review the lineup consequences across all 32 teams.

    Set your replacements before Sunday

    • Replace confirmed absences: Houston ruled out Nico Collins, the Jets ruled out Mason Taylor, and Denver ruled out Jonah Coleman. Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart also remain unavailable. Josh Downs and Denzel Boston are selected receiver alternatives; Dalton Schultz is a selected tight-end stream.
    • Plan around Nacua: the Rams list him as doubtful for Sunday night. Prefer a healthy earlier receiver unless you hold a viable later replacement. Doubtful remains distinct from officially ruled out.
    • Keep cover for Bowers and Flowers: both are questionable for late Sunday games. Check their inactive lists, but decide earlier if your available replacement plays in the early window.
    • Remove outdated practice concerns: Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones, Travis Etienne, J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey have no game designation. Their clearance does not guarantee a particular workload.
    • Preserve Monday options: Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent missed Friday practice; Saquon Barkley practiced fully and Dallas Goedert remained absent. Chicago and Philadelphia still have Saturday final reports ahead of Monday.

    Atlanta beat Green Bay 35-14 Thursday. Those players are no longer upcoming Week 3 choices. The lineup guide labels the completed game, and the underlying Week 2 usage tables retain their original period rather than mixing partial Week 3 results into a full-week comparison.

    Open the updated Week 3 lineup guide or check all 32 team formations and player profiles. Calls assume a typical 12-team, full-PPR, one-QB league. Check your league's scoring, eligibility and lock rules.

    The next decision windows

    Saturday brings the final Bears–Eagles reports. On Sunday, check official inactive lists approximately 90 minutes before each kickoff. The early window begins at 11 a.m. MDT / 1 p.m. ET; later games have separate deadlines. Set replacements before their own games lock, particularly when carrying a questionable player into the late window or Sunday night.
