Fantasy Impact: With Godwin and Julio Jones both sidelined and Mike Evans serving a one-game suspension, the Buccaneers will more than likely be missing their top three wide receivers in a big Week 3 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman, and Scotty Miller will be counted on heavily by QB Tom Brady this Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Swift was able to make a significant impact on offense in the Lions’ Week 2 victory over the Washington Commanders. Barring any setbacks, expect the running back to be involved early and often in a Week 3 road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Julio Jones (knee) does not practice Thursday

Fantasy Impact: Jones looks to be trending towards missing a second consecutive contest for the Buccaneers after suffering the injury late in a Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Unless the wide receiver is able to log any type of practice activity Friday, QB Tom Brady will be missing one his weapons in a Week 3 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
Michael Gallup to be on a pitch count when he returns
Michael Gallup will make his season debut in Week 3, as long as he does not suffer any set backs in practice. Head coach Mike McCarthy stated, “I don’t see Michael playing 70 plays in the game.” (Source: Michael Gehlken on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Based on McCarthy’s comments, it does sound like Gallup will be on a pitch count when he returns. Considering he is coming off an ACL tear, it makes sense for the team to be cautious as he figures to be a key component of Dallas’ passing game this season. Fantasy managers should temper expectations until he is fully involved in the game plan.
