Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) was estimated to be limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Tuesday, Sept. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Head coach Dan Campbell told the media earlier on Tuesday that he is "starting to feel pretty good about" Montgomery's ability to play on Thursday against the Green Bay Packers. So while fantasy managers should expect him to draw a questionable tag on Wednesday's injury report, they should also expect Montgomery to return to 15-plus touches in one of the best offenses in the league. Consider him a solid RB2 option for Thursday if he plays.

Green Bay Packers S Zayne Anderson (hamstring), OT David Bakhtiari (rest, knee), LB De'Vondre Campbell (ankle) and OG Elgton Jenkins (knee) did not practice Tuesday, Sept. 26. CB Jaire Alexander (back), LB Rashan Gary (knee), RB Aaron Jones (hamstring), OT Zach Tom (knee), DB Carrington Valentine (biceps) and WR Christian Watson (hamstring) were limited.

New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) is 'in the day-to-day category,' according to head coach Brian Daboll. Per Daboll, Barkley 'feels a lot better (Tuesday, Sept. 26), but we'll kind of take that all the way throughout the week and see how he improves.'

Fantasy Spin: In other words, fantasy managers should expect Barkley to be questionable at best on Saturday's injury report and a likely game-time decision for Monday's showdown with the Seattle Seahawks. The fact that the game will be played on Monday probably will make Barkley hard to start in most leagues unless managers get a definitive report regarding his playing status Saturday night or Sunday morning. Matt Breida is likely to see the most work if he cannot go again, although he would be a weak flex option.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) will play against the Detroit Lions in Week 4, according to teammate Romeo Doubs.

Fantasy Spin: While teammates do not always serve as the most reliable sources, the fact that Jones was looking good in warmups and on the fence to play in Week 3 probably makes him a good bet for Thursday. The Lions have been stingy versus fantasy running backs to this point, allowing no more than 60 total yards to any player despite facing Kenneth Walker in Week 2 and Bijan Robinson in Week 3. Jones needs to be in lineups if he plays this week, but fantasy managers should temper their expectations at a RB2 level.

New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring) missed the team's Week 3 Thursday Night Football loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' offensive line is already one of the worst units in the NFL, so his absence is disastrous for its overall offense. However, the 2020 No. 4 overall pick said his chances to play in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks are "good". With him in the lineup, Daniel Jones should be at least slightly more protected from the Seattle pass rush on Monday Night Football.

The Baltimore Ravens are signing veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy to its practice squad on Tuesday. Van Noy was selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft and has spent time with the Detroit Lions, New England Patriots (two stints), Miami Dolphins, and Los Angeles Chargers. He has 470 tackles, 33.5 sacks, and three interceptions thus far in his career. While the 32-year-old will start on the practice squad, there's a good chance he'll eventually be added to the active roster as a versatile defensive piece for John Harbaugh's stop unit.

Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) appears to be on the right track to play in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, according to comments from head coach Dan Campbell on Tuesday, Sept. 26.

Fantasy Spin: The Lions made the prudent move in resting Montgomery in Week 3, especially knowing they had a division game coming up on a short week. While Detroit was able to win without him against the Atlanta Falcons, there is no question Montgomery was missed. While the Packers have been a favorable fantasy matchup for running backs through three games, they have been effective in slowing them down in two of them. Nevertheless, Montgomery remains a solid RB2 option if he plays on Thursday.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) has yet to make his 2023 season debut due to a lingering hamstring issue. The second-year wideout was considered a breakout candidate this offseason, so his return to the Packers' lineup would be great news for fantasy managers who selected him in preseason drafts. When asked if he will play on Thursday Night Football in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions, Watson said "That's the plan." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but he would immediately have upside if he plays. Quarterback Jordan Love has thrown seven touchdowns to just one interception, and Watson is always a threat to score on a long touchdown. That said, he could be at risk of playing limited snaps.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (thigh) missed the team's Week 3 contest against the Atlanta Falcons after exiting the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks with a thigh injury. On Tuesday, head coach Dan Campbell said he is "starting to feel pretty good" about Montgomery's chances to play on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers this week. He also mentioned left tackle Taylor Decker (ankle) could return. If Montgomery plays and sees a full workload, he's close to a must-start option after seeing 37 carries and scoring two touchdowns in his first two games with the organization. Jahmyr Gibbs' Week 4 value would take a hit as he'd likely be reduced to a complementary role once again. However, there's always a risk Montgomery's touches could be limited, meaning he could be a risky fantasy option to begin the week.

Free agent quarterback Trevor Siemian is visiting the New York Jets on Tuesday. If everything goes well with his physical, he is expected to join the team's practice squad in short order. After Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) was lost for the season in Week 1, Zach Wilson has struggled mightily in his third season as the team's starter. The BYU product has completed under 53% of his passes for 467 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions in three games. Tim Boyle is currently listed as his backup, but Siemian, who has 30 games of starting experience, could eventually find himself in the starting quarterback role this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean (shoulder) left Monday night's game in the third quarter due to a shoulder injury and has officially been ruled as questionable to return. Before leaving, he registered three solo tackles. Despite the two interceptions that the Tampa Bay defense has forced, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles have been able to pass for over 230 yards so far. Dean is one of the starting corners on this defense which means Christian Izien will be next up to see some opportunities in his absence.

Dynasty | Eagles running back D'Andre Swift had 130 rushing yards in the Eagles easy win against Tampa Bay. Dynasty Analysis: He added one catch for eight yards. It was the second straight big game for Swift, who now has over 300 rushing yards over the past two weeks. Kenneth Gainwell had just two fewer carries (14) than Swift but averaged five fewer yards per carry and looked like the clear #2 back tonight. This is a big development in dynasty leagues as Swift finally looks like a potential RB1 for the first time in 2023.

The Miami Dolphins offense averaged 30 points and 462.5 yards of offense per game in two contests on the road to begin the year before their home opener on Sunday against the Denver Broncos in which they put up 70 points and 726 yards of offense. According to NextGen Stats, Dolphins players are now responsible for the five-fastest individual speeds recorded on a given play so far this season, with three by wide receiver Tyreek Hill and one apiece from rookie running back De'Von Achane and RB Raheem Mostert. Achane and Mostert accounted for four touchdowns apiece in the thumping of the Broncos in Week 3, and Achane is going to be the No. 1 waiver priority in fantasy leagues this week.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (illness) confirmed that he played the Monday night win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers through flu-like symptoms. "Just us executing," Hurts said, describing what it took to gut it out. "It's not the first time I've dealt with this or had to play with something like this. And it always happens on Monday night for whatever reason." Despite Hurts and several other members of the team being under the weather, the Eagles offense put up 472 yards, led by running back D'Andre Swift (130 rushing yards) and receiver A.J. Brown (nine catches for 131 yards). Hurts had an up-and-down performance, throwing and rushing for a touchdown while also throwing a couple of interceptions.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said after the disappointing Week 3 loss to the Houston Texans that reports of him taking over as the play-caller were "false." Through three weeks, the Jaguars have scored more than two touchdowns in just one game, including a six-quarter stretch between Weeks 2 and 3 where they didn't score a single touchdown. The good news is Jacksonville found success in the second half against Houston after failing to score a single point in the first half due to two miscues on the field-goal unit and going 1-for-6 on third downs. As a result of the offense's woes in the first three weeks, quarterback Trevor Lawrence ranks as the QB20 in fantasy heading into a Week 4 meeting with the Atlanta Falcons in London this Sunday.
