Seattle Seahawks DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Seattle Seahawks tight ends Noah Fant (toe) and Pharaoh Brown (foot) were both listed as limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week as they prepare to face off against the visiting Miami Dolphins in Week 3 at Lumen Field. Fant can't seem to shake his toe injury early this year, but it hasn't kept him from playing through the season's first two weeks. The 26-year-old has played at least 75% of the offensive snaps in coordinator Ryan Grubb's new offense, but it's led to only three catches on seven targets for 25 yards and no touchdowns in two weeks. He continues to be the fourth option for quarterback Geno Smith behind receivers DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, leaving him very little fantasy upside. Fant should be fine to suit up this weekend against Miami, where he should be considered a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) wasn't with the rest of the team's RBs during early warm-ups before practice on Thursday, but he did some running off to the side again before heading indoors as practice began. It sounds as though Walker will be listed as a non-participant in practice for the second day in a row after sitting out of the team's Week 2 win over the New England Patriots last Sunday. The 23-year-old will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have any shot at returning for Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins at Lumen Field. As of right now, fantasy managers should keep Walker on their benches. Although backup Zach Charbonnet did find the end zone last week, the 23-year-old averaged just 2.7 yards per carry and picked up 38 yards on 14 attempts while catching five passes for an additional 31 yards. He'll have RB2 upside again if Walker is out.UPDATE: Walker missed a second straight practice on Thursday.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain against the Cardinals in Week 2, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. According to the report, Kupp will spend the next week or so in a cast to help ease the swelling. The Rams did not place Kupp on IR and there is still optimism he can return within the four-week timetable. It's not the worst news for Kupp managers but high ankle sprains can be tricky to come back from. The fact that he is not on IR is a somewhat promising sign. Kupp was off to a flying start to the season with 21 targets in his first game in a dominant 14 catch, 110-yard, 1-TD performance against the Lions. When healthy, Kupp is still a dominant fantasy player but the injuries have become a concern.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Fant played a season-high 81 percent of snaps last Sunday but seems to have come out of Week 2 with a toe issue. Even if it's minor, it will be something worth monitoring as the week progresses and the Seahawks release their official injury designations for their upcoming contest in Miami. Fant's production has been underwhelming this year as he has caught just three of seven targets for 25 yards and zero touchdowns. He can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. As the Seahawks prepare for Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins, they're at risk of being without their star running back. The 23-year-old ran free for 103 yards and a touchdown during the Seahawks' season opener, but he emerged from Week 1 with an oblique injury and didn't play last week against New England. When healthy, he's a low-end RB1 option. However, injuries have plagued his young career, and if he isn't able to get back on the practice field in the next couple of days, fantasy managers can expect another week of Zach Charbonnet leading Seattle's backfield.
