Daily brief, Fri Sep 25 2026 (Week 3)

What changed

• Bijan Robinson went for 169 rushing yards and a touchdown Thursday, plus two catches, in Atlanta's 27-7 win. That is about 25 points banked before Sunday.
• Jayden Daniels is now officially out, so The Dirty plays without its quarterback.
• Zay Flowers is still only questionable on Friday's report, six days after the hamstring kept him out.

Decisions

• Brian Thomas Jr. starts, Harold Fannin goes to the bench. Why: the Dude matchup projects within 6 points, and in a close game we want the higher ceiling. Thomas is taking 31 percent of Jacksonville's targets in a game where his team is expected to score 24, against Fannin's 20 percent share in a 20-point game.
• Flowers stays on the bench. Why: still questionable on the final report, and a receiver returning from a hamstring usually plays a limited snap count, which is the worst mix of risk and reward in a close week.
• Lineup saved and verified on reload.

Watching

• Sunday 8:41 AM: inactives. If Flowers is upgraded and gets a normal workload we can still slot him in before Baltimore's 1:25 kickoff.
• Christian Watson and Amon-Ra St. Brown for Dude, the only lineup in the league close to ours this week.

Shane

• Nothing needed.
