Injury sends Jaguars offensive starter TE Brenton Strange to IR.

It's a tough loss for the Jags as Strange was having a nice year up to this point. His timeline will be about a month according to reports. He was averaging just shy of five catches and six targets a game.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley popped up on Monday’s practice report with a knee injury and was estimated as a non-participant.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Barkley has “general soreness” and expects to play in Thursday Night Football against the Giants.

Barkley was listed as a DNP for Monday ahead of Thursday night's game against his former team, the Giants. Ironically, Barkley's snap percentage has been down from last year. The story pointed out Barkley played 85% of the snaps through this point last year compared to 72% this season.

This will be one to watch on a short week against the Giants. Barkley hasn't been much of a factor in the run game this season after going over 2,000 yards last year. He did catch a TD pass in Week 5's loss to the Broncos. We'll keep an eye on this one. If Barkley can't go on a short week, Dillon and Shipley will likely split the workload and Bigsby could be a factor as well.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is off the injury report and officially good to go Sunday vs. Baltimore.

Since his massive 16-target performance after Worthy went down in Week 1, Brown has been completely forgettable in his two chances to earn more work since. Push Worthy up into the WR3 range now that he's been completely cleared.

Since his massive 16-target performance after Worthy went down in Week 1, Brown has been completely forgettable in his two chances to earn more work since. If Worthy is looking close to 100% this early in the week, we should definitely consider him further up our rankings than if he weren't a full participant until Friday. Push him up into the WR2/3 range if he is completely cleared ahead of the weekend.

Ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS), the Chiefs are optimistic Xavier Worthy will be able to play a limited role for the offense while wearing a small harness. Patrick Mahomes and HC Andy Reid say they are confident the Chiefs can continue to be successful on deep passes with Tyquan Thornton running routes alongside Worthy. By Week 7, Mahomes' dropbacks could feature him having a combination of quality options -- such as Travis Kelce, Thornton, Worthy, Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown.

Slowly the Chiefs offense is starting to get healthy and back to what everyone envisioned at the start of the season. Worthy has a chance to play in Week 4 but the team is already saying he'll be limited, so fantasy owners will want to monitor just how much Worthy will play or maybe in what situations.

Eagles DT Jalen Carter (shoulder) and TE Dallas Goedert (knee) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the Rams.

Calcaterra managed two targets and six yards in Goedert's steed, as the Eagles continue to squeeze the clock and limit Jalen Hurts' dropbacks. Goedert returns to his low-floor/moderate-ceiling TE2 designation.

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.

Asked Eagles OC Kevin Patullo about the lack of designed QB runs and zone read keeps for Jalen Hurts. Said just haven’t gotten to or because of how they’re being defended.

“Don’t worry, they’re coming.”

Last season the Eagles offense took about four weeks to really get going, especially the passing game. So, it's possible the team hasn't shown all its cards yet on that side of the ball. Hurts threw for just over 100 yards, but he also just ran for 15 yards in Week 2 after running for 62 yards in Week 1.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is officially doubtful for Sunday vs. the Eagles.

Brown is the most obvious beneficiary and should be considered a fringe WR2/3. Smith-Schuster will operate underneath with a limited ceiling, while Thornton is a desperation boom/bust play.
