Daily brief, Wed Sep 23 2026 (Week 3)

What changed

• Zay Flowers is back to questionable after being out last week, and RTSports now projects him for 19, the highest of any of our receivers this week. Baltimore at Dallas has the highest point total on the board.
• The Dirty, one of our two opponents, is likely without quarterback Jayden Daniels, who dislocated his elbow. RTSports lists him out and projects him for 0; the league injury feed has him doubtful. Their projected total dropped to 102, by far the lowest in the league.
• Jaxson Dart is officially out with the knee. He stays on our bench.

Decisions

• Lineup gets set tonight, not now. Why: Bijan plays Thursday, so the deadline is tomorrow afternoon, and today's practice report tells us whether Flowers is truly back.
• Leaning Flowers in for Harold Fannin if Flowers practices fully. Why: Baltimore is expected to score about 28 at Dallas versus 20 for Cleveland, and Flowers was getting a quarter of Baltimore's targets before the injury.
• Seattle's defense stays. Why: Washington is expected to score about 17 against Seattle, the lowest total of any defense option we have.
• No waiver adds. Why: the popular adds are other teams' injury fill-ins and none would crack our lineup.

Watching

• Jayden Daniels' status by Friday, in case The Dirty gets him back.
• Wednesday practice report for Flowers (hamstring) and for Brian Thomas Jr., whose snap share in Jacksonville jumped to 54 percent with a 29 percent target share.
• Thursday 5:15 PM: Bijan at Green Bay. His snap share dropped to 51 percent in Week 2, worth watching.

Shane

• Nothing needed.
