Week 3 of the fantasy football season continues to bring updates and late moves as teams navigate their rosters. Brock Bowers, the Las Vegas tight end, is finally expected to make his season debut, providing additional firepower for Kirk Cousins. Four receivers from San Francisco, Carolina, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo are cleared to play, along with Jaylen Warren, the No. 1 running back for the Steelers.
However, potential starters Tyson Bagent and Marcus Mariota are still unclear, as is the status of Rams wideout Puka Nacua and Raiders TE Brock Bowers.
In the local news, Aaron Jones, the Vikings' running back, is cleared to play in Tampa Bay, while Seattle QB Sam Darnold will also play against the Bears. The situation with Chicago's quarterback depth is becoming clearer, with Caleb Williams ruled out and Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum as potential starters. Receivers Saquon Barkley and Devonta Smith, both from the Philadelphia Eagles, are expected to play against the Bears.
Some notable absentees include Mike Evans (San Francisco) and Zay Flowers (Baltimore), both of whom are likely to play. Meanwhile, two pass catchers, Nico Collins (Houston) and Caleb Douglas (Miami), have been ruled out. Pittsburgh's Rico Dowdle and Denver's Jonah Coleman have also been sidelined, boosting the Broncos' R.J. Harvey and J.K. Dobbins. Jaylen Warren (Steelers) remains questionable, so it might be best to avoid him.
Looking ahead, the fantasy world will be watching closely to see which of these late moves will pay off and which will be a regrettable waste of a waiver wire spot.
