Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Kroft is expected to see an increase in targets in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers with TE Tyler Eifert (back, knee) ruled out.
Footballguys View: Kroft was overshadowed by CJ Uzomah while both helped to replace Eifert last year, but Kroft might have still been affected by a preseason knee injury. The Bengals offense isn’t exactly fertile fantasy soil, so Kroft is only worth a look in the deepest of leagues.

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) is out for Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he is seeking a second opinion on his ailing knee.
Footballguys View: A second opinion in this case will only open Bradford up to worse diagnoses than a bone bruise. His absence could be a lot longer than two weeks.
