Moreno out, Turner still in for Week 3

Denver Broncos running back Correll Buckhalter will get the start in Week 3 in place of Knowshon Moreno. Moreno suffered a hamstring injury in practice, although reports are that it was not the same hamstring that sidelined him for much of the preseason. He is expected to miss at least the next three games. Laurence Maroney is also expected to rotate into the running back spot this weekend. If you need a starting running back, Buckhalter would not be a terrible option.

Atlanta running back Michael Turner (groin) was not held back in practice Friday and is listed as probable for Week 3. He is expected to start which means this week's most popular waiver wire pick-up, Jason Snelling, should only be used as a last resort.
 
San Diego running back Ryan Mathews (ankle) did not practice Friday and will not play in Week 3. Mike Tolbert will replace him in the starting lineup and is a solid No. 2 back this weekend.

Houston wide receiver Andre Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day but will start in Week 3. He won't be 100 percent game but keep him in your starting lineup

Oakland running back Michael Bush (thumb) is expected to make his first appearance of the season this weekend but will be limited. Keep him benched until you see how he is used and how he performs.

This is the make or break week for Minnesota wideout Bernard Berrian. If he can't post decent fantasy numbers against the Detroit Lions, he should be dropped in all leagues.

Berrian's teammate, Percy Harvin (hip, migraines) practiced in limited fashion Friday but is listed as probable for Sunday. Despite the Vikings' offensive woes, he is a strong start against the Lions.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten (head) was not limited in practice Friday and is considered probable for Week 3. Although he hasn't done much fantasy wise, he's a must start.

It looks as if running back Tim Hightower will be the man for Arizona again this weekend. Teammate Beanie Wells (knee) is listed as questionable and probably won't play much, if at all, for the Cardinals.

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Laurent Robinson (foot) did not practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for this weekend. Danny Amendola or Brandon Gibson will likely start in his place but neither has any fantasy value.

Washington running back Clinton Portis practiced fully on Friday. Although he is listed as questionable, he is expected to start. Since he's one of the few healthy running backs on the roster, he's a decent play in Week 3.

Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith (thigh, wrist)  practiced on a limited basis Friday but is probable and should start.
Owners of wide receiver Pierre Garcon of the Indianapolis Colts might want to think about starting somebody else. He has not practiced much this week with a hamstring injury and is questionable for Week 3.
