While things could have been worse, one would have to assume Engram could possibly miss this week. We also reported yesterday Ellison is more of a blocking TE so may not be a quick option to fill in behind Engram on your fantasy team for those in a bind.

Goedert only played 17 snaps in each of the first two weeks. In Week 2, he wasn't even targeted. This despite a nice preseason and camp where he was a top target in that time. With all the injuries on offense for the Birds, the team needs Goedert to emerge. The story feels Goedert should continue to play a vital role even with the return of WR Alshon Jeffery.

Gronk said he only wants to play for QB Tom Brady. Although he’s only 29 years old, Gronkowski has indicated that he won’t play in the NFL much longer. And he apparently won’t play at all without Brady. So he has effectively blocked the Patriots from trading him by saying that if he does get traded, he won’t show up to the team that acquires him.

The story went on to say only seven days after Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr set a league completion-percentage record with a 29-of-32 passing performance against the Broncos, Joe Flacco threw for 224 yards and a touchdown in the first half Sunday, as the Broncos did little to unsettle the veteran. Flacco finished the game 25-of-40 for 277 yards and the score. Flacco was quoted in the story as saying the Ravens could have throw the ball 55 times in their victory this week over Denver.

As the story said, in a perfect world, Stewart and Hansen -- third- and fourth-round picks in 2017, respectively -- would be ready to step into starting roles next season. That's how winning organizations operate. When they lose good players in free agency, they replace them with up-and-comers from previous drafts. It's the most cost-effective way to build a team under the salary cap. While the story doesn't expect that to happen, the good news is the Jets are expected to be about $90 million under the cap in 2019.

Rivers commented in the story he feels Williams is going to continue to trend up. "He's going to continue to be more of a factor for us," Rivers was quoted as saying.

Bradford was pulled in the fourth quarter after throwing two INTs and losing one of two fumbles. He did throw two TD passes. Rosen didn't exactly come in and light the world on fire. He was 4-for-7 for 36 yards and also threw an interception. The Cards should make a decision early this week leading up to their Week 4 game, at home against Seattle.

Green described the play as coming down on his hip and his bones hit against one another. He said he didn't feel anything pop and should be fine and expects to play. It's all good news, but as we've learned in the past, we can't always take what players say as fact. We'll have to monitor Green this week.

If true, that would be a season-ending injury to the quarterback the 49ers traded a second-round draft pick to acquire and gave one of the biggest contracts to in NFL history. It's a big hit to the 49ers offense, which also lost Jerick McKinnon at RB before the season. Beathard likely takes over but is a downgrade over Garoppolo.

Jones (ankle) was limited Friday after taking full reps earlier in the week. Normally that is worrisome, but Jones is a go on SNF.

Gordon doesn't play in Week 3 because of a hamstring issue that's still lingering. Chris Hogan and Phillip Dorsett should be the main targets for SNF.

Beasley is good to go despite an ankle injury.

Fitzgerald (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday but is good to go this week.
