Cameron Brate held without a reception in Week 2 victory.

It was the second-straight game without a reception for Brate, which is a bad sign considering the Bucs have exploded offensively for two weeks in a row. His fantasy value is probably tied to Jameis Winston being at quarterback, so Brate shouldn’t be owned in fantasy leagues.

Ray-Ray McCloud (knee) remains limited in practice.

The rookie receiver hasn’t had a full practice yet this season as he looks to make his NFL debut. He’s likely headed for a questionable tag when the official Week 3 injury report is released tomorrow.

Ben Roethlisberger totals four touchdowns in loss to the Chiefs.

Roethlisberger’s right elbow is of no concern after this one, as he slung the ball around the yard while trying to keep up with Kansas City’s electric offense. Roethlisberger was 39/60 for 452 yards and three touchdowns while also adding two carries for nine yards and a rushing touchdown. It was a huge day for the veteran quarterback, as he scrambled around to keep plays alive and hit big plays down the field to his receivers. Roethlisberger is a strong QB1 in Week 3 against the Buccaneers as the Steelers look to get their first win of the season, but keep in mind the game is on the road instead of at home.

Kelvin Benjamin (hip) was a full participant in practice.

After a limited session yesterday, a full participation should mean Benjamin is ready to go for Week 3. We’ll update you if Benjamin happens to be listed on the injury report, but expect him to play against the Vikings. He’s a riskier FLEX with a matchup against Xavier Rhodes and company.

Adam Humphries held to one reception as Tampa Bay offense explodes again.

Humphries’ lone catch went for eight yards. The Bucs have finally committed to Chris Godwin as a full-time player, which drains the value of their slot receiver, especially with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center instead of Jameis Winston. Humphries doesn’t need to be owned heading into a matchup with the Steelers.

LeSean McCoy (rib) remains limited in practice.

McCoy is likely headed to a game-time decision for Sunday versus Minnesota, but we’ll see how he’s listed when the official injury report for the game is released tomorrow. Chris Ivory would be in line for a nice workload if McCoy sits.

Chris Godwin scores in win over the Eagles.

The Philadelphia native caught five passes for 56 yards and one touchdown in the 27-21 victory, as he joined DeSean Jackson, O.J. Howard, and Mike Evans with at least 56 yards and a score in another dominant performance by the Tampa Bay offense. Godwin could have some disappointing games on a loaded offense, but he’s a vastly underrated player that should be owned in all leagues. Next week against the Steelers looks to be another good matchup for the Penn State product.
