NFL Player News

As expected, Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was listed as active for Sunday's home opener against the Falcons. Tannehill was listed as probable on the injury report with a right shoulder injury leading up to Sunday. He has thrown for 591 yards with two touchdowns and one interception this season. 

Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer gets the start Week 3 at Minnesota and could steal the starting job away from Brandon Weeden with a good showing, NFL Network reports. It would likely take a "stellar" performance from Hoyer. 

The Vikings have listed the following players as healthy inactives for Week 3 at home against Cleveland: QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson; LB Gerald Hodges; G Jeff Baca; DT Chase Baker; and DE George Johnson. 

Chargers quarterback Brad Sorensen, safety Brandon Taylor and wide receiver Malcom Floyd (neck) were among the team's inactives Week 3 at Tennessee.

The Texans inactive list for Week 3 featured no surprises Sunday. The list is: offensive linemen Duane Brown and Cody White; wide receiver Lestar Jean; quarterback Case Keenum; defensive end Tim Jamison; and linebackers Justin Tuggle and Sam Montgomery.

Giants quarterback Ryan Nassib (ankle), running back Michael Cox, offensive lineman David Diehl (thumb), offensive lineman Brandon Mosley (back), tight end Adrien Robinson (foot) and defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins are among the team's inactives Week 3 at Carolina. 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have listed the following two players as healthy inactives for Week 3 at New England: QB Dan Orlovsky (3rd QB) and DE Steven Means.  

Jets quarterback Geno Smith is probable for Week 3 against the Bills, as he continues to play through an ankle injury. Smith was able to practice throughout the week, and has yet to be limited by this injury. 

Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert was officially ruled out for Week 3 against the Seahawks, despite being able to practice on a limited basis throughout the week with a hand injury. Gabbert has now missed two games as a result of the injury, and it is not yet clear when he will be able to return.

Chad Henne will start Sunday in Seattle. 

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is looking like a Fantasy bust through two games. He's just not doing enough to help Fantasy owners.

So far this season against Carolina and San Francisco, Wilson has 28 Fantasy points combined. He's passed for just 462 yards, two touchdowns and one interception and has 15 carries for 40 yards. He only attempted 19 passes against the 49ers.

This week against the Jaguars, Wilson could again be just managing the game. He could obviously have his way against Jacksonville, but the Seahawks won't need him to do much outside of hand off to his running backs.

We'd only start Wilson if needed this week, but plenty of No. 2 quarterbacks have higher upside like Sam Bradford, Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton and even Terrelle Pryor. We hope Wilson will eventually turn into a playmaker who can benefit Fantasy owners, but right now he's not worth starting in the majority of leagues.
