Free NFL injury desk — confirmed roster and injury news only where sourced.

Desk colour — Williams / Keenum; Goedert targets

Desk colour — Caleb Williams: Expected out. Case Keenum odds-on to start if neither Williams nor Bagent clears. That is Anthony desk expectation, not an official Out stamp — Williams has not been officially ruled out for MNF.

Desk colour — DeVonta Smith: Should soak targets with Goedert out. Labelled opinion, not a snap or target projection stamped as fact.

Monitor / desk colour

Malik Nabers (NYG, shoulder) — limited. Desk colour: should play, maybe less work. Not locked out.

Brock Bowers (LV) — trending Season debut vs New Orleans. Desk colour: might start but still touch-and-go; possible snap limits. Show as MONITOR / trending debut.

Saquon Barkley (PHI, stinger Week 2) — returned; NOT locked out. Desk colour: monitor Barkley snaps; if limited, Tank Bigsby / Will Shipley. Anthony wants Bigsby as the start while Barkley is compromised, with Shipley a possible steal.

Alvin Kamara — desk colour: might get more work.

Travis Etienne — desk colour: monitor.

Rachaad White (WAS) — desk colour: Mariota safety blanket in short yardage; solid Flex in PPR.

Miami WR depth room — Wednesday report: Caleb Douglas (ankle) DNP; Chris Bell (knee) limited; Ryan Miller (hip / back) limited. Depth room only — not Tyreek Hill / Jaylen Waddle.

Extra sourced watch

Sam Darnold (SEA, hip) — expected back at practice.

Zay Flowers (BAL, hamstring) — trending up after Week 2 inactive.

Nico Collins (HOU, hamstring) — still out on about a two-week hamstring timetable.

DJ Moore (BUF, AC sprain) — day-to-day.

Updated waivers — injury-driven adds

Four punchy lines Anthony can stand behind:

Jameis Winston / Marcus Mariota / Case Keenum — stream paths off the QB outs and the Bears week-to-week board.

Rachaad White — Flex, especially in PPR, as Mariota’s short-yardage safety blanket.

Tank Bigsby — if Barkley is limited.

DeVonta Smith — bump with Goedert out.

Optional: Miami depth wide receiver if Douglas / Bell sit.
