Wide receivers have been causing trouble for fantasy football owners all week. DeSean Jackson and Michael Gallup have already been ruled “out”, and Antonio Brown…well, the less said about him, the better. The only WR injury updates that really matter on Sunday are for T.Y. Hilton and Alshon Jeffery, both of whom are “questionable”. One seems more likely to play, but until the official active/inactive reports are released, fantasy owners can’t feel comfortable about their Week 3 start ’em, sit ’em lineup decisions.
We’ll be here all morning with the latest updates, so check back or follow us on Twitter (@SN_Fantasy).

WEEK 3 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Is T.Y. Hilton playing Week 3?
A quad injury limited Hilton in practice all week, but his “questionable” status for Week 3’s game against Atlanta seems to be more precautionary than anything.
Expect Hilton to play, and as usual, you can expect him to play well. Atlanta’s pass defense has decent numbers this year, but that was helped by Minnesota needing to throw just 10 times in Week 1. This is still a vulnerable unit against which Hilton can break off a few big plays.
WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
Is Alshon Jeffery playing Week 3?
Jeffery missed most of last week’s game against Atlanta and didn’t practice all week because of a calf injury, but a local Philadelphia reporter said Friday that there’s a “pretty good chance” Jeffery will play on Sunday against the Lions. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Jeffery was unlikely to play.
Week 3 DFS Lineups:
FD cash | FD GPP | DK cash | DK GPP | Y! cash | Y! GPP
We’re more likely to believe Schefter, but this will likely come down to a game-time decision. With DeSean Jackson (groin) already ruled “out”, Nelson Agholor will see a bump in targets, and if Jeffery is out, too, expect JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Mack Hollins to see more work. If Jeffery plays, he’ll be tough to sit in this plus matchup, but his workload might not be reduced. Consider him a boom-or-bust WR3, at most.
