Fox thinks Smith will be ready for season opener

Sources classify Xavier Worthy as "50-50" to return for Week 3 against the Giants, noting optimism but also the need to see him handle a fuller practice workload. "Have to see how he looks with real practice reps," the source said. Worthy practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday of last week, and the Chiefs will ramp up his workload coming off the shoulder injury.

It would be hard to trust Worthy in fantasy lineups if he's still on 50-50 this late in the week, so he's best left on benches even if he does suit up. Brown should continue to be considered a WR3 regardless, while the rest of the WR room are only suggested in very deep leagues.

Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. (knee) is progressing well in practices, but people I've talked to believe a Week 3 return might be ambitious. Week 4 against Philadelphia, however, feels like a real possibility.

There's a good chance that the Buccaneers will ease him back into his typical full-time role, but this is still promising for his second-half fantasy prospects. Ebuka has looked great through his first two games, so it's unlikely he will be pulled off the field in favor of the veteran, which could mean we get even more 3-WR sets in Tampa Bay. The three stud receivers will undoubtedly eat into each other's targets, but all of them are still very much in the weekly fantasy conversation.

Brock Purdy’s toe injury has improved to the point that he will be a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice, Kyle Shanahan said roughly an hour before the session was scheduled to begin.

Purdy still *feels* like a longshot for Week 3, but we didn't expect him back to practice this soon, either. If he's well enough to play, he's well enough to be in lineup consideration, but for now, consider Jones a streaming option in the QB15-18 range until we get more clarity on Purdy.
