Seahawks | Smith-Njigba catches 10 passes for 128 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Commanders Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba completed 1 of 1 passes for 14 yards and also caught 10 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 18.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.4.
| Footballguys view: Just a routine day so far this season for a player who is going to test whether a wide receiver can win MVP over a quarterback as long as he stays healthy. |

Jaguars | Lawrence throws for 182 yards, three touchdowns in win over Patriots Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 19 of 29 passes for 182 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception and added 4 times for 25 yards in Sunday's 35-6 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 17.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.8.
| Footballguys view: For the second time in two home games, Lawrence was so good that he was really only in passing mode for two and part of a third quarter in a romp over an overwhelmed opponent visiting Jacksonville. The Steelers exposed the Bengals pass defense in Week 3, so consider Lawrence a solid QB1 start against Cincinnati for Week 4. |

Patriots | Henderson held to 23 yards on 8 carries in loss to Jaguars Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson ran 8 times for 23 yards and also caught 1 pass for 6 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 10.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.4.
| Footballguys view: One week after the Patriots appeared to commit to Henderson, they backed off of his Week 2 usage and went with Rhamondre Stevenson early in the second half. Of course it was to no avail as the Patriots offense was stuck in a ditch on the side of the road in this game. Henderson is just a what-the-heck flex in Week 4 at Buffalo as the Patriots try to figure out what they can get working on offense without A.J. Brown. |

Giants | Likely held to 2 catches for 13 yards in win over Titans Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 2 passes for 13 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.3.
| Footballguys view: Likely started out the season two scores and the look of a player who would be one of the best picks this at his position. Since then, the Giants lost Jaxson Dart and the passing game has been poor with Jameis Winston at the helm. Likely is still a good fantasy play against the Cardinals, who just gave up two scores to George Kittle in Week 3. |

Bills | Kincaid held to 2 catches for 38 yards in win over Chargers Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 2 passes for 38 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 12.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.8.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid's push to be the top fantasy tight end this season ran into a brick wall against the Chargers. He fumbled on his long gain of the day and was otherwise a nonfactor. He is still a strong TE1 against the Patriots next week as this whole game seemed like an aberration for the Bills offense. |

Bills | Cook runs for 154 yards, one TD in win over Chargers Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook ran 24 times for 154 yards and a touchdown and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 17.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.4.
| Footballguys view: Cook fumbled on the first play for the Bills, and they still stuck with him on a day that the offense committed four more turnovers. Cook scored the clinching touchdown and showed that he can still be a strong fantasy RB1 when not much else is working for the Bills. |

Chargers | Gadsden held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Bills Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 8.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden was a dud even though he is the only healthy Chargers tight end. He can be dropped if you picked him up as a what-the-heck tight end for Week 3. |

Chargers | Mitchell runs for 52 yards, one TD, Hampton 56 yards in loss to Bills Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell ran 8 times for 52 yards and also caught 3 passes for -5 yards and a touchdown on 3 targets in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.2.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell scored on a pop pass and was more effective than Omarion Hampton, who had 15 carries for 56 yards and did not catch his only target. Hampton did get a few carries close to the goal line, but the Chargers went away from him on the following play. Both Hampton and Mitchell are flex plays against Seattle next week in a very tough road matchup. |

Colts | Allen catches 6 passes for 63 yards, a touchdown in win over Texans Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Keenan Allen caught 6 passes for 63 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.3.
| Footballguys view: Allen is going to be the biggest fantasy beneficiary of Alec Pierce going on injured reserve if this game is any indication. He made big plays at big times for the Colts in a hard fought win. He's probably on the waiver wire in a lot of leagues after a slow start to the season, but he should be in lineups as a WR3/Flex against the Commanders next week. |

Jaguars | Meyers catches 7 passes for 64 yards, a touchdown in win over Patriots Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers caught 7 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 35-6 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 6.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.9.
| Footballguys view: Meyers was the best fantasy play in the Jaguars passing game with Christian Gonzalez blanketing Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington only catching three balls (at least one was for a score). He'll be a weekly flex play going forward after scoring for the second time in three games. |

Jets | Sadiq catches 7 passes for 105 yards, a touchdown in loss to Lions Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq caught 7 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 6.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq made a diving touchdown catch to open the scoring, and though he left the game briefly with an undisclosed injury, the rookie was a big part of the passing game for the rest of the contest with No.2 receiver Adonai Mitchell out with a finger injury for this game. Sadiq will be a hot waiver-wire pickup this week heading into a matchup with the Bears. |

49ers | Mike Evans ruled out vs. Cardinals with rib injury, Trent Williams carted off Sun Sep 27, 05:39 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans was ruled out before the start of the third quarter of Sunday's Week 3 game against the Cardinals with a rib injury, after clutching his right side following a route in the second quarter and riding a cart to the locker room late in the first half. He was not hit on that play but took a helmet to his side on a tackle by Cardinals S Budda Baker on the play before, and it is unclear whether the two are related; the team did not provide the precise nature of the injury or a timeline. All-Pro LT Trent Williams also left on a cart in the third quarter with a stinger, and the 49ers initially listed him as questionable. San Francisco is already without WRs Ricky Pearsall (out for the season), De'Zhaun Stribling (expected to miss roughly 10 weeks) and Demarcus Robinson (injured reserve).
| Footballguys view: Evans caught three balls for 34 yards and a score before leaving, and he also lateraled the ball to Deebo Samuel after a two-yard reception that Samuel took 80 yards to the house for the first score of the game. We don't expect Evans will be ready for next week's game against the Broncos, which ups the value of Samuel and George Kittle, who are the last primary pass catchers standing along with Christian McCaffrey. |

Giants | Harbaugh expects Winston to start Week 4 regardless of QB additions Sun Sep 27, 04:59 PM
Giants QB Jameis Winston is expected to remain the starter in Week 4 against the Cardinals, head coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans. Harbaugh said Winston did what was "required and necessary" to win in rainy conditions, as he completed 14-of-22 passes for 118 yards and rushed twice for 14 yards without a turnover. Numerous reports have indicated the Giants plan to add one or two quarterbacks this week, but Harbaugh made it clear Winston will start against Arizona.
| Footballguys view: The weather wasn't exactly conducive to the passing game, but Winston didn't do anything to dispel the notion that the team is in the market to add another quarterback. The days of Winston coming off of the bench to invigorate the fantasy value of a passing game are probably over, but the matchup against the Cardinals next week has been good for opposing offenses the last two weeks. |

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan ruled out with knee injury vs. Vikings Sun Sep 27, 04:45 PM
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Vikings with a knee injury. McMillan was injured in the first quarter and had initially been listed as questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: It took McMillan over a month to rally from a knee injury suffered in camp, so this is immensely disappointing. Ted Hurst caught a 40-yard touchdown to open the scoring for the Bucs and should have close to a full-time role while McMillan is out. |
Jalen McMillan player page
Steelers | Jaylen Warren posts 176 total yards in win Sun Sep 27, 04:41 PM
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren had his best game of the season with RB Rico Dowdle out injured, going well over 100 scrimmage yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals, including a 30-yard reception on the first drive and a 35-yard run that set up a field goal. All in all, Warren gained 127 yards on 17 carries and 49 yards on three receptions (four targets).
| Footballguys view: Warren shredded a Bengals run defense that looked like an elite unit against the Texans in Week 2. He will only get a few days to recoup before the Steelers travel to Cleveland on Thursday, but that also means Dowdle is unlikely to be ready. Consider Warren a high-ceiling RB2 for Week 4. |

Browns | QB Deshaun Watson returns to the game Sun Sep 27, 04:33 PM
Browns QB Deshaun Watson returned to Sunday's game against the Panthers after being injured in the fourth quarter.
| Footballguys view: For the second straight week, Watson engineered a game-winning touchdown drive. This time, it helped turn around a slow start for the Browns' offense that lasted three quarters. He completed 16 of 30 passes for 144 yards with two scoring strikes. As ESPN.com suggests, he has been at his best when the Browns have needed it the most. On the game-winning drive, Watson converted a pair of third downs, including his touchdown. The Browns play the Steelers on Thursday night in Week 4. |

Dolphins | Hafley on De'Von Achane's knee injury: 'It does not sound optimistic' Sun Sep 27, 04:31 PM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that the outlook for RB De'Von Achane "does not sound optimistic," adding that the team is still gathering information. Achane exited on the first drive with a knee injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game after 3 carries for 17 yards.
| Footballguys view: Usually what follows news like this eventually is an announcement of a season-ending injury. Jaylen Wright was out for this game, and Ollie Gordon II scored and looked capable as a lead back after Achane went out. Anything less than out for the year will be a win at this point if you have Achane. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson cleared after concussion evaluation in loss to Lions Sun Sep 27, 04:30 PM
Jets WR Garrett Wilson was cleared after being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Wilson was shaken up late in the game after catching 10 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Wilson was a strong WR1 play as expected with No.2 receiver Adonai Mitchell out and the Jets facing a thin Lions secondary. This news is as good as we could have hoped for after watching Wilson leave the game. Wilson should have a very high ceiling against the Bears next week as long as he is active. |

Patriots | Drake Maye has three turnovers, pulled late as Jaguars rout Patriots 35-6 Sun Sep 27, 04:19 PM
Patriots QB Drake Maye committed three turnovers, a first-half fumble while starting to throw and two later interceptions, in Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jaguars. The Jaguars scored two touchdowns off those turnovers, Maye was sacked three times, and QB Tommy DeVito replaced him once the game was in hand.
| Footballguys view: Maye forced the ball in the red zone to give Travis Hunter his first career interception and was pressing all day with the running game not giving him any help against the Jaguars. This offense isn't innovative, and without A.J. Brown, Maye is outgunned against good defenses. The Bills are up in Week 4, and while their defense is flawed, Maye will have to play a lot better to keep up with Josh Allen. |

Steelers | Rodgers came to life with three TDs as Steelers beat Bengals, Burrow fumble seals it Sun Sep 27, 04:16 PM
Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers completed 19 of 34 passes for 292 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-27 home win over the Bengals, a sharp turnaround after a shaky first two weeks.
| Footballguys view: This performance by Rodgers was about a Bengals defense that was feeling themselves and took the bait on the Steelers well-designed 21st century plays - a change from business as usual under previous head coach Mike Tomlin - than Rodgers finding the fountain of youth. To be fair to Rodgers, his interception was a well-thrown ball bobbled by Roman Wilson into a defender's hands. The Bengals defense will try to find its bearings against Trevor Lawrence next week. |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. scores second TD, 14-yarder from Watson gives Browns late lead Sun Sep 27, 04:09 PM
Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from QB Deshaun Watson, giving Cleveland a 19-18 lead over the Panthers with 1:48 left on Sunday. Watson extended the play before finding Fannin. It was Fannin's second touchdown of the game after he caught a 2-yard score from Watson in the first half. He finished with seven catches for 51 yards on the day.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was an afterthought in an embarrassing Week 1 loss at Jacksonville, but he came alive for five catches last week and made the two biggest plays of the day for the Browns offense. He's back to being an every week fantasy TE1 going into a Thursday night game against Pittsburgh. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs scores three TDs in win over Jets Sun Sep 27, 04:05 PM
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs scored three touchdowns, two rushing and the go-ahead score with 2:25 left, and finished with 164 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets, giving him six touchdowns through three weeks.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs got the offense jumpstarted after early struggles with a long catch and run, and he was inevitable as the force that finished drives with touchdowns in the second half to help the Lions eke out another nerve-wracking home victory. The Lions offense hasn't been a dangerous downfield passing unit, but that hasn't stopped Gibbs from exceeding even the highest expectations through three weeks. |

Commanders | RB Rachaad White returns to the game Sun Sep 27, 03:46 PM
Commanders RB Rachaad White returned to Sunday's game against the Seahawks after suffering a shoulder injury.
| Footballguys view: Per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic, White made a brief trip to the locker room before returning to action. White finished the game with 35 yards on eight carries and he also turned his lone reception into a touchdown. He remains a what-the-heck flex-level play moving forward. |

Jets | Geno Smith 25 of 30 for 280 yards, three TDs against Lions Sun Sep 27, 03:41 PM
Jets QB Geno Smith has completed 25 of 30 passes for 280 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's game against the Lions.
| Footballguys view: He did this without his #2 receiver Adonai Mitchell and first round pick Omar Cooper Jr, although that might say more about the Lions pass defense (they face the Panthers next week) than the Jets pass offense breaking out. With Breece Hall probably missing multiple weeks, it's going to be more difficult for the Jets to generate offense, although they do face another vulnerable pass defense in Chicago next week. |

Jets | RB Breece Hall injured in the fourth quarter vs. Lions Sun Sep 27, 03:31 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall was injured on a play in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Lions with 11:36 left. He was declared out with a thigh injury.
| Footballguys view: Braelon Allen becomes the lead back with Hall sidelined. Hall will probably miss time after being declared out so quickly. The Jets face Chicago next week, so Allen will be worth an RB2/flex look right off of the waiver wire. |
Breece Hall player page
Titans | Tyjae Spears limps off the field during Week 3 game at Giants Sun Sep 27, 03:28 PM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears limped off the field during Sunday's game at the Giants after a completion by QB Cam Ward. He was able to return, however. Spears entered the game listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: Tony Pollard ran the ball effectively in this game and should be the clear lead back against the Ravens next week with Spears ailing. He's a flex play in Week 4, and can serve as your RB2 in a pinch. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Panthers | Jalen Coker (quad) out for the game Sun Sep 27, 03:05 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker left Sunday's game against the Browns with a quad injury and was listed as questionable to return. With Coker sidelined, the Panthers' wide receivers on the field were Tetairoa McMillan, Brycen Tremayne and Metchie. Coker was later downgraded to out.
| Footballguys view: Coker was nursing an ankle injury coming into this game. A quad issue landed him on injured reserve last season, so we'll have to wait for more details to learn whether this is related to that injury. |

Rams | Myles Garrett's absence 'trending six weeks', surgery on the table for Puka Nacua Sun Sep 27, 12:00 PM
Rams DE Myles Garrett's absence with a knee injury is trending toward six weeks instead of the earlier reported four, according to updates on Sunday. That timeline would keep him out against the Broncos, Eagles and Bills, with his status also in question for the following games against the Cardinals and Raiders. Rams WR Puka Nacua is battling a loss of top-end explosiveness and could return as soon as next week, although surgery is on the table if he does not get back to feeling like himself.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like Nacua could return and not be 100%, with some risk of being shut down for surgery if his groin doesn't respond well in the next week or two. If you are 0-3 with Nacua as your first-round pick after this week and we don't get a positive update on him early in the lead-up to Week 4, it might be time to trade him to try to save your season. |

Ravens | Ravens not counting on Zay Flowers (hamstring) for Week 3 vs. Cowboys Sun Sep 27, 11:59 AM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Cowboys, but the Ravens are not counting on him to play, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported. Flowers, officially listed as questionable, opened the practice week with two DNPs before logging a limited session on Friday. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday that Flowers would likely be on a pitch count if he does suit up. Flowers left in Week 1 after recording 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half and missed Week 2.

Jets | Jets without Adonai Mitchell, Mason Taylor at Lions; thin WR corps behind Garrett Wilson Sun Sep 27, 11:16 AM
The Jets will be without WR Adonai Mitchell and TE Mason Taylor for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Lions. WRs Omar Cooper Jr., Tim Patrick and Arian Smith are already on injured reserve. That leaves WR Garrett Wilson, three slot receivers and an undrafted rookie at wide receiver, putting rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq in position for a bigger role.
| Footballguys view: Wilson becomes an elite PPR WR1 this week, Sadiq a streamable tight end, and Isaiah Williams a PPR what-the-heck flex with the Jets also likely working in Breece Hall as a receiver more than usual this week. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels expected back in 'three weeks or sooner', will wear elbow brace Sun Sep 27, 11:00 AM
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, who dislocated his left elbow in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, is expected back in three weeks or sooner after meeting with specialists, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. Daniels will reportedly play with a brace on the elbow once he returns. General manager Adam Peters said on Friday that surgery was not on the table and that the team had not discussed placing Daniels on injured reserve. QB Marcus Mariota will step in as the starter until Daniels returns.
| Footballguys view: Daniels could still have surgery in the offseason, and seeing as he has suffered this injury multiple times, he is at risk of recurrence. Daniels is worth holding in 1QB leagues on this news, but it's possible the team will dial back his designed runs while he is wearing a brace on his left arm. |

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 3 game at the Saints, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. Bowers, who underwent a meniscus trim just days before the season, logged limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday before a planned rest day on Friday, per head coach Klint Kubiak. The Raiders also did not elevate TE Chris Myarick from the practice squad, as they had in each of the past two weeks with Bowers inactive.

Rams | Myles Garrett needs about six weeks to recover from knee surgery, Week 9 return likely Sun Sep 27, 07:21 AM
Rams DE Myles Garrett will need about six weeks to recover from knee surgery, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. Garrett struggled to play through the knee injury in the Week 1 loss to the 49ers, then had surgery and was placed on injured reserve. The Rams' Week 9 game against the Commanders on November 8 looks like his most likely return date, although Garrett is reportedly hoping to return sooner. He practiced little in training camp and did not play in the preseason while dealing with what the team called knee swelling.
| Footballguys view: Las Vegas gets the Rams in Week 7 and the reeling Chargers draws the Rams for the "cross-stadium rivalry" in Week 8 on Novemeber 1. It sounds like both of those teams will get to dodge Garrett. Aaron Donald was 80-90% of his typical self in Week 2, which is better than 99% of the defensive tackles in the league, so the opposing offensive lines will still have their hands full - hopefully not when the refs are looking. |

Eagles | WR DeVonta Smith returns to full practice Sat Sep 26, 04:01 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was a full participant in Saturday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Smith was seen stretching without his jersey during the media portion of practice, so getting clarity about his status is refreshing. A full practice on Saturday means Smith is clearly on track to play on Monday night against the Bears. To say the Bears defense is 'fantasy friendly' might be an understatement, making Smith a WR1 even if he's not quite 100 percent. Meanwhile, the Eagles have ruled out WR Hollywood Brown (ankle), so Smith will see less competition for targets |

Eagles | RB Tank Bigsby returns to full practice Sat Sep 26, 04:01 PM
Eagles RB Tank Bigsby (abdomen) was a full participant in Saturday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Bigsby after he returned Friday in a limited fashion. With Saquon Barkley good for Monday night against the Bears, Bigsby is in his usual backup spot behind him. Barkley is an RB1, and Bigsby is a high-value stash player on your bench. |

Bears | QB Tyson Bagent returns to full practice Sat Sep 26, 03:01 PM
Bears QB Tyson Bagent (concussion) was a full participant in Saturday's practice after being held out of an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Caleb Williams is out in Week 3, and this week it seemed like Case Keenum was going to get the start on Monday night. If Bagent is cleared by an independent neurologist on Sunday, he would be able to play. Even though he missed most of practice this week, the team could turn to him as their starter against the Eagles. |
