Updated at 11:34 a.m. ET

The injury updates just keeping piling up. A bunch of stars have already been ruled "out" (Arian Foster, Jonathan Stewart, Doug Martin) or "doubtful" (Thomas Rawls, Jamaal Charles,Antonio Gates), but there are still a host of key "questionable" players (Brandon Marshall, Sammy Watkins, Delanie Walker, Alshon Jeffery, Julio Jones, Willie Snead) who are coming up often in start-sit questions and having a big effect on Week 3 fantasy football rankings.

Whether you"re putting together a daily fantasy football lineup or just looking for the latest news for your standard league, we"re here to help.

Is Brandon Marshall playing in Week 3?

Although Marshall gutted it out after injuring his knee in Week 2, his status for Week 3 is very much in question. The latest on Marshall, who has a foot injury in addition to his ailing knee, is that he is expected to play, but he might be on a snap count.but the man himself hasn"t had great things to say about his condition this week.

As we said earlier in the week, it"s tough to sit Marshallin standard leagues if he plays, but he"s a huge risk in DFS cash games. It"s not a bad idea to get a share of him in a GPP since others might be scared off, but clearly expectations should be lowered. We like Quincy Enunwaas a sleeper against the Chiefsregardless of Marshall"s status.

Sammy Watkins injury update

On Saturday,Watkins tweeted that he"s "ready to go out there and compete...", but on Sunday morning, Adam Schefter reported that Watkins will not play against the Cardinals.

Will Delanie Walker play?

UPDATE:Walker is INACTIVE.

Walker (hamstring) will be a game-time decision after doing little in practice this week, and there"s some worry he"ll be limited even if he"s active.

It"s tough for Walker owners to bench him if he"s playing given the dearth of worthwhile TE options. If you"re looking for other potential options, check out our TE rankings.

Doug Baldin, Tyler Lockett injury updates

Baldwin (knee) and Lockett (knee) both practiced fully on Thursday and are virtuallocks to play against the 49ers.

Rashad Jennings not expected to play

Jennings (thumb) was orginally expected to give it a go this week, but his injured thumb must be making things too uncomfortable for him. He"s now expected to sit out Sunday"s game against the Redskins.

This is big news for Shane Vereen, who figures to operate as the Giants featured back.

Will Alshon Jeffery play on Sunday night?

You have to take any injury seriously when it comes to Jeffery, but the fact he practiced on Friday is a good sign and reports on Sunday suggeset he"ll play.Jeffery has been dealing with knee soreness all week, and given that the Bears play on Sunday night, his owners should be ready with a backup just in case.

The most obvious (available) candidates from the primetime games areCole Beasely, Terrance Williams, andEddie Royal.

Julio Jones injury status

Jones (calf) is "questionable" for Monday night"s game against New Orleans, but the star receiver has put to rest any doubts about his availability, saying "I will play."

Jones is our top-ranked WR this week.

Is Willie Snead playing on Monday night?

Snead (toe) appears to be a true game-time decisions heading into Monday night"s game, so if you don"t have another alternative from that game, it"s best to leave Snead on your bench.

If Snead is out, Michael Thomas would get a nice bump in value.
