Odell Beckham Jr. will make his season debut in Week 3.

Beckham Jr. is not listed on the injury report, so he will suit up for the first time this year, and it could be as the immediate No. 1 wideout with Jarvis Landry (knee) now out. That said, OBJ likely won’t play a full complement of snaps, so Anthony Schwartz and Donovan Peoples-Jones can still be quality fliers in DFS play and deeper leagues. We are hopeful Beckham Jr. will be a WR2 option at some point, but he is best viewed as a volatile FLEX against the Bears.

Tee Higgins (shoulder) is doubtful for Week 3.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor says the second-year receiver will be doubtful for this Sunday against the Steelers. While Higgins missed practice time this week, he was able to get on the field today. Overall, this is a bit of a surprise, but perhaps Higgins will push to play versus a division rival on Sunday.

Jamison Crowder (groin) will be a game-time decision for Week 3.

The Jets don’t play until 4:05 on Sunday, so if you were planning to use Crowder in your fantasy lineup, be sure to have a backup plan in place from the later slate of games.

Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is out for the rest of tonight’s game.

It was unclear why McCaffrey left the field and went into the blue medical tent, but FOX’s Erin Andrews made the report from the sideline that it’s a hamstring injury for McCaffrey, which you can kind of see on the slow-motion replay. This is really unfortunate news for a player that works so hard to stay on the field as much as possible. The good news is that McCaffrey will have extra time to heal ahead of Week 4, but this has the looks of a potential multi-week injury for the superstar running back. Third-round rookie Chuba Hubbard is set to take over while CMC is out. Before leaving in the second quarter, McCaffrey had seven carries for 31 yards and two receptions for nine yards in the Thursday night matchup at Houston.

Anthony Miller (shoulder) is officially active for Thursday night.

After missing the first two games of the season with his shoulder issue, Miller is in the lineup for Houston for the first time since they acquired him during the summer. With Danny Amendola (hamstring) out, Miller is someone to watch. We’re high on Miller’s talent, but the Texans offense appears to be in a tough spot with rookie quarterback Davis Mills making his first career start.

The Lions are placing Tyrell Williams (concussion) on injured reserve.

Williams already missed Week 2, and now he’ll be out for at least three more games, but hopefully the veteran is able to get back to full health very soon. Quintez Cephus should continue to operate as Detroit’s No. 1 wide receiver, though the offense will run through T.J. Hockenson, D’Andre Swift, and Jamaal Williams.

The Seahawks are signing Jace Sternberger to the practice squad.

Sternberger lands with a Seattle squad that’s aggressively added to the tight end position in recent years. The former third-round pick is someone to keep an eye on in deeper dynasty leagues for now.
