Report: Percy Harvin still in play for Week 8

A league source tells Profootballtalk Percy Harvin (PUP, hip) is still a candidate to be activated for Week 8.

The Seahawks have three weeks to activate Harvin after he returned to practice on Monday. Seattle obviously doesn't need Harvin to beat the Sam Bradford-less Rams on Monday Night Football, but if he's ready, he's ready. There's nothing to gain by holding him out if he proves he's 100 percent in this week's practices. That being said, Harvin would almost certainly be on a snap count if he's active for Week 8, and wouldn't be a desirable WR3. His status will be updated no later than Thursday, when Seattle returns to practice.

Ajayi (knee) says he is 'feeling good'

Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi said he was "feeling good" during Friday's practice.

"I feel like we have a good plan," Ajayi said. It looks like Ajayi will play, but how much work he will get is unknown. It seems unlikely he will get the 30 touches he had in Week 2, but he won't need a big workload to rack up fantasy points against the Jets. Ajayi should be in your lineup as long as he plays on Sunday.

Report: Zeke to play at least next two weeks

Ezekiel Elliott’s hearing with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled for October 2.

It means Elliott is eligible to play at least the next two weeks. Elliott’s six-game suspension could kick in as soon as Week 5, depending on if the Fifth Circuit rules against his injunction. It's more legal drama that further muddles Zeke's status. Coming off a career-worst game at Denver, Elliott's rest-of-season outlook is trending down.

Jimmy Graham (ankle) expected to play Sunday

Coach Pete Carroll said Jimmy Graham (questionable, ankle) "should be fine" for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Graham was held out early this week to rest ankle and knee issues. He returned to practice Friday, putting him on track to be active. Graham still can't be completely trusted with the Seahawks on a late game. Playing injured and a non-factor the first two weeks, Graham is a high-risk TE1.

Packers top DL Mike Daniels listed doubtful

Packers DT Mike Daniels (hip) is listed as doubtful for Week 3.

It's a significant loss because Daniels is a game wrecker in the middle, and the Bengals' overmatched offensive line needs all the help it can get. Cincinnati's offense has some bounce-back potential in Sunday's trip to Lambeau Field.

Melvin Gordon (knee) listed as questionable

Melvin Gordon (knee, questionable) was limited in Chargers practice Friday.

Gordon was a late addition to the injury report on Thursday. The fact that he did participate in parts of Friday's practice suggests he'll be out there against Kansas City. Gordon has struggled mightily with rushing efficiency through two games, but touchdown scoring and pass catching have kept him afloat.

Jordy Nelson questionable; expected to play

Jordy Nelson (quad) is officially listed as questionable for Week 3.

Despite the Q tag, Nelson is fully expected to play against the Bengals after missing almost all of Week 2 with what he deemed a "charley horse." With to-date Packers target leader Randall Cobb (shoulder) listed as doubtful, Nelson should be locked and loaded into fantasy lineups as a WR1.

Packers list Randall Cobb doubtful for Week 3

Randall Cobb (chest) is listed as doubtful for Week 3 against the Bengals.

This should move Jordy Nelson into the slot with Geronimo Allison and Davante Adams as the Packers' outside receivers versus Cincinnati. Nelson missed essentially all of the last game, but he practiced all week and called his Week 2 knee/quad injury a "charley horse." We're listing Cobb as "week to week."

Giants take TE Evan Engram off injury report

Evan Engram is no longer listed on the Giants' Week 3 injury report.

He was originally listed as questionable, but apparently passed his final test in the concussion protocol. The Giants have been force feeding Engram to the extent that Sterling Shepard has barely been an early-season factor. Engram will be in the fringe streamer discussion for Sunday's date with Philadelphia.

Colts list Vontae Davis as doubtful vs Browns

Colts RCB Vontae Davis (groin) is listed as doubtful for Week 3.

Davis was able to get in some practice reps this week and looks on track to return in Week 4 barring setbacks. DeShone Kizer is a sneaky Week 3 streamer.

RotoGrinders.com Daily Slant: The Colts secondary is both struggling and banged up with Davis expected to be sidelined and Quincy Wilson ruled out. They may put S/CB T.J. Green back at RCB; he was promptly benched after his poor performance in Week 1 – he earned a 39.7 coverage grade from PFF. Or they could start rookie Nate Hairston, who’s posted a 46.4 coverage grade. Whoever they put there will be a downgrade from Vontae Davis and an upgrade for Kenny Britt. The receiver has a disappointing 2/5/15/0 line through two, but Corey Coleman’s injury opens up opportunities. If Davis sits, Britt could become a high-risk GPP pivot option off Rashard Higgins based on the favorable matchup. Hue Jackson challenged him to improve, it could be a great spot to deliver.

Amari Cooper no longer on Raiders inj. report

Amari Cooper is no longer listed on the Raiders' Week 3 injury report.

Cooper was limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practices with some sort of knee ailment, which was the case in Weeks 1 and 2, as well. Just as he was in Weeks 1 and 2, Cooper will be all systems go for Week 3 against Washington.

Henry to get 'significant workload' Sunday

According to ESPN Titans reporter Cameron Wolfe, Derrick Henry is expected to get a "significant workload" regardless of whether or not DeMarco Murray (questionable, hamstring) plays against the Seahawks in Week 3.

Per Wolfe, Murray "appears more likely to be out than to have a full workload" on Sunday, even after getting in a limited practice session on Friday. Wolfe said he'd be comfortable firing up Henry as a fantasy RB2 regardless of Murray's status and said he'd even consider bumping him into the RB1 tier if Murray is inactive. Henry out-touched Murray 14-10 in last week's victory over the Jaguars while compiling a career-high 92 rushing yards. It's not an ideal matchup for Henry but his workload should be strong enough to warrant starting consideration in all formats.
