Key Players Active and Inactive for Week 3

As fantasy football managers scramble to finalize their lineups, we've got the crucial updates on player statuses for Week 3! Let’s dive into who's in and who's out.

Running Back Updates

**D'Andre Swift (CHI)** is active despite a quad issue, but keep an eye on **Kyle Monangai** who may see more action than expected. Conversely, with **Zach Charbonnet (SEA)** officially inactive due to a foot injury, **Kenneth Walker III** is primed for heavy touches, while **George Holani** is set to pick up remaining snaps.

Wide Receivers and Quarterbacks

**Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA)** was a concern with an illness but will play, much to the relief of fantasy managers. On the flip side, **Brock Purdy (SF)** is inactive, meaning **Mac Jones** will be stepping in as the starter.

Another quarterback situation to watch is in Cincinnati, where **Joe Burrow (CIN)** is taking an extended break due to a toe injury. **Jake Browning** will be filling in, so adjust your expectations accordingly.

Defense and Tight End Highlights

In the secondary, **A.J. Terrell Jr. (ATL)** is sidelined with a hamstring issue, possibly allowing opposing wideout **Tetairoa McMillan** to shine. On the injury front for the tight end position, **Evan Engram (DEN)** is out, paving the way for **Adam Trautman** to take center stage.

Updates on Other Key Players

Tight ends **Will Dissly (LAC)** and **Tucker Kraft (GB)** are both active despite injury concerns. In an interesting twist, **J.J. McCarthy (MIN)** is relinquishing his QB role to veteran **Carson Wentz**, who will need to navigate without RB **Aaron Jones Sr.**.

Lastly, keep a lookout for **Emeka Egbuka (TB)** who is active despite limited practice, especially important as **Chris Godwin Jr.** is out.

Get Ready for an Exciting Week!

With matchups heating up and star players making their way back onto the field, Week 3 promises to deliver thrilling moments for both teams and fantasy managers alike. Stay tuned as more updates unfold!
