Jim Dray - TE - Free Agent

Cardinals released TE Jim Dray.

He was signed last week with Jermaine Gresham set to miss Sunday's game with injured ribs. Releasing him suggests Gresham will be back this week.

Tyler Boyd - WR - Bengals

Tyler Boyd said he does not know why he was inactive Week 2.

"I guess they needed more roles on special teams or whatever they need," Boyd said, "but I haven't gotten a specific answer." Coach Marvin Lewis made it clear Boyd was not dealing with an injury after the game, suggesting there is something going on behind the scenes. Perhaps Boyd will return to the lineup under the new coordinator, but he still does not need to be owned in redraft formats.

T.J. Watt - LB - Steelers

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said OLB T.J. Watt (groin) has a chance to play this week.

Watt exited the Week 2 win early in the first quarter and never returned. It sounds like he has avoided a serious issue, but soft-tissue injuries tend to linger. He should be considered at best questionable to face the Bears.

Ricardo Louis - WR - Browns

ESPN's Browns reporter Pat McManamon expects Ricardo Louis to start opposite Kenny Britt with Corey Coleman (hand) sidelined.

Coleman is likely headed to injured reserve, which means the Browns will have to make due for at least eight weeks. Rashard Higgins was listed as the starter on Cleveland's unofficial depth chart on Tuesday and is the better fantasy bet, but perhaps Louis, who earned some praise in the offseason, can make some noise as well, especially if Britt continues to mail it in.

Kenny Lawler - WR - Free Agent

Patriots worked out free agent WR Kenny Lawler.

They also had in WRs River Cracraft and Nelson Spruce for the workout. It is not surprising the Patriots are turning over every leaf with the current state of their receiver corps, but it is unlikely any of these guys make a fantasy impact.

Jeremy Langford - RB - Ravens

Ravens signed Jeremy Langford to their practice squad.

Langford was promoted off the practice squad last week only to be cut two days later for Alex Collins. He could get called up again with Terrance West dealing with an injury. Baltimore made a host of moves Tuesday, sending Marshal Yanda and Bam Bradley to injured reserve, signing Matt Skura and Dieugot Joseph to replace them, and adding Arie Kouandjio and Nicholas Grigsby to the practice squad along with Langford.

Jason Verrett - DB - Chargers

Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said there is "not a timetable" for CB Jason Verrett (knee) to return.

An MRI showed no new damage to Verrett's surgically-repaired left knee last week, but it sounds like he is still going to miss more time. "We’re still evaluating him and we just want him to get right before he’s back on the football field," Lynn said. The Chargers still have standout Casey Hayward, but Verrett's absence is a big one.

Rashard Higgins - WR - Browns

Rashard Higgins is listed as a starter on the Browns' unofficial depth chart.

Team released depth charts do not mean much, but Higgins did play 54-of-71 snaps against the Ravens, 12 more than Kenny Britt. He also turned 11 targets into seven catches for 95 yards. Just promoted off the practice squad on Saturday, there is a risk Higgins recedes into the background even with Corey Coleman (hand) likely headed to injured reserve, but he is worth an add in all leagues.

RotoGrinders.com Daily Slant: Higgins is an intriguing GPP option this week against a Colts team that looks like an ideal pass funnel defense to pick on. After facing Todd Gurley and the Cardinals RBs sans David Johnson, the Colts have limited runners to 2.5 ypc (2nd). At the same time, they've allowed 308 passing yards per game (29th) and 9.8 ypa (31st). With the Browns ground game off to a slow start, averaging 3.3 ypc (24th), Higgins could be given ample opportunity to produce against a weak secondary.
