Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) is officially inactive for Week 3.

Henderson was listed as doubtful entering today, so this was obviously expected. Sony Michel is set to start for the Rams, but he’s not a highly recommended fantasy option against the Buccaneers’ elite run defense. Last year, Sean McVay decides to go with a pass-happy gameplan and didn’t test the run game much, so Michel is in danger of not getting many touches, even as a starter.

A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of today’s game.

The Titans are ruling Brown out for the game to start the second half, which is’t surprising after he missed almost the entire first half with the hammy issue. Before leaving, Brown had just one carry for three yards and no receptions. Obviously, this is a big disappointment, and hopefully Brown is feeling better soon and doesn’t miss much more time after today.

Josh Jacobs (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 3.

The good news is Jacobs is only listed with the ankle now (he was out with a toe/ankle last week), but he’ll miss his second consecutive game. The combination of Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber will handle the backfield work for Vegas against Miami.

Sterling Shepard (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of today.

The Giants are now down both Shepard and Darius Slayton for the rest of today. We’ll see if New York relies more on first-round rookie Kadarius Toney for the remainder of today versus the Falcons. Before leaving, Shepard had two catches for 16 yards.

James White gets carted off against the Saints.

The entire Patriots team huddle around White as he was on the cart with what’s officially being called a hip injury. Hopefully this isn’t quite as bad as it first appears, but Mac Jones is now down a reliable underneath target against a tough Saints defense. White has already been ruled out for the rest of today.

Darius Slayton (hamstring) rule out for rest of today.

Slayton had one reception for eight yards before leaving against the Falcons, and it’s not a great sign that he’s been ruled out already. Hopefully Slayton doesn’t miss much more time moving forward after today.

A.J. Brown (hamstring) is questionable to return for the Titans.

We were wondering why Brown wasn’t in the game, and this is the reason. He’s currently on the sideline without his helmet with the Titans back on offense, so this doesn’t look great. Hopefully the star receiver is able to get back in the game at some point.
