Xavier Worthy has chance to play Week 3

Sep 14, 2025

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has a shot to play next week against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact:

Worthy was ruled out for Sunday against the Eagles but him returning to practice, even on a limited basis, was a great sign and opened the door for an earlier return than expected. Certainly far from a guarantee. We’ll have to see how he practices this week, but the door is open for Worthy to play under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football next week on the road against the Giants. Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster will lead the charge at the position against the Eagles.

Falcons rule out Younghoe Koo, promote Parker Romo for Week 2

The Falcons ruled out kicker Younghoe Koo for Sunday night’s game against the Vikings and elevated Parker Romo from the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

The Falcons listed the reason for Koo as non-injury related. One can speculate that has to do with Koo’s miss at the end of the game in Week 1 against the Buccaneers that would have tied the game. Romo will now kick against the team he played four games for in 2024, going 11/12 with a long of 55.

Brock Bowers returns to practice Saturday

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers returned to practice Saturday after missing Thursday and Friday.

Fantasy Impact:

Bowers was recovering from the knee injury he suffered in the season-opening win over the Patriots. Perhaps the Raiders were just resting him. He told the media after the game his knee was fine. With Bowers practicing Saturday, his chances now bode pretty well that he’ll be available for Vegas (and his fantasy owners) Monday night against the Chargers. Bowers is TE5 entering Sunday with Tucker Kraft having already played.

Patriots trade Ja’Lynn Polk to Saints, teams swap future picks

The Patriots traded wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk to the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact:

The teams will also swap future draft picks. The Patriots get a 6th in 2027, the Saints get a 7th in 2028. This is a rare occurrence where a player who is on injured reserve is traded. The Saints clearly like Polk enough to stash him for the season and take on over $2 million in guaranteed money over the remaining two years of Polk’s contract in 2026 and 2027.

The Patriots drafted two wide receivers in 2024. Neither are with the team after just one season. In addition to Polk, 4th-round pick Javon Baker is now with the Eagles’ practice squad.
