If you were hoping for an injury reprieve heading into Week 3, well, I am sorry. The injuries continue to pile up. In Week 2, we lost Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart at quarterback.
We got Kyler Murray back, but that hardly makes up for it. It doesn't look like the top wide receivers who missed Week 2 will be back this week, and we have several more who are questionable at best. Running back has been one of the healthiest positions, oddly enough, but we even have a couple of question marks there this week.
Hopefully, we're at least getting Brock Bowers back in Week 3. Rather than sulk about this, recognize it for what it is: An opportunity for your Fantasy Football acumen to pay off. Injuries are bad luck, sure, but the person who best manages injuries is often the person who wins the week.
Here's what we're dealing with heading into Week 3: One phenomenon that has seemed more prevalent is positive coach speak, followed by negative injury reports. That has not been the case with Nacua. The Rams have given us no positive indication this week, and Nacua is not practicing.
You should proceed as if he won't play, which means Davante Adams is a top 12 wide receiver, even with an awful matchup. It also means that Terrance Ferguson is a top 12 tight end. Adams and Ferguson combined for a 63% target share in Week 2 and there really isn't anyone else on the roster the Rams should be looking to get more involved.
This is a case where the coaches had seemed more optimistic. Fantasy Football managers don't have that luxury. The Ravens play a 4:25 game on Sunday, but it is in Brazil, so we'll get a better indication when the teams leave the country.
