Danny Amendola tells reporters he is “good to go” for Sunday’s game against the Texans.

Amendola sat out last week’s win with a concussion and knee issue, but he’ll be back out there this week. The slot receiver will be a solid FLEX in standard leagues and a WR2 in PPR leagues against the banged-up Houston secondary. New England should be close to full strength offensively.

John Brown (quadricep) is out for Week 3.

The Cardinals will not have Smokey on Monday night against the Cowboys, as the receiver will miss his second straight game. Unfortunately, Brown could be out several more weeks dealing with these soft tissue issues.

Rob Gronkowski (groin) says he’s “ready” for Week 3 against the Texans.

He specifically said, “I’m ready” regarding his status. Fantasy owners held their breaths when he went down in last week’s win over the Saints, but Gronk is going to be active against Houston. Of course, he’s the top option at the position whenever he’s on the field, so get the monster tight end in your lineup.

Jermaine Gresham (rib) is questionable for Monday night against the Cowboys.

Gresham is expected to be out there after missing Week 2, but ideally you’ll have safer options in your fantasy lineup anyway. If you are relying on Gresham, make sure you check back in on Monday night. He’ll probably be more of a help for Carson Palmer and the offense than your fantasy team.

Sam Bradford (knee) has been ruled out for Week 3.

Being ruled out this early after being a game-time decision last week, plus reportedly seeking a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, isn’t a good sign at all. It’s entirely possible that Bradford is dealing with more than a bone bruise, despite head coach Mike Zimmer’s statement that he was “fine.” Hopefully the quarterback gets some good news, but the Vikings should be preparing for anything from an extended absence to a season-ending injury. It’s also possible there is no structural damage and Bradford returns next week against the Lions, but it seems unlikely at this point. We’ll provide an update on the situation.

Odell Beckham Jr. is not listed on the injury report for Week 3.

OBJ is over his ankle sprain that forced him to miss the first week of the season and will be ready for a big NFC East matchup against the Eagles on Sunday. The current state of the Giants offense is obviously of some concern, but a 100% Odell Beckham needs to be in all fantasy lineups.

John Ross (knee) has been ruled out for Week 3.

Ross also missed Week 1 before handling one touch, a fumble, in his NFL debut last Thursday night. The first-round speedster has faced injury concerns since his college days, and he’s not off to a good start as a pro. There’s still a chance he makes a 2017 impact, but he’s probably safe to drop in 10- or 12-team redraft leagues.
