Hutchinson left the game after catching a 28-yarder in the fourth quarter and visited the blue medical tent. The Texans never announced a status for him, so it’s something to monitor. He lead the team in targets and yards. We guess that’s just where things are for the Texans now. If Hutchinson is healthy and Nico Collins is not in Week 4, he’ll have fringe FLEX/WR4 value.
After back-to-back 40-yard outings as the Jaguars’ No. 2 receiver, Thomas bottomed out on a low-volume day for the Jacksonville offense. Jakobi Meyers led the Jags with nine targets while Parker Washington saw five looks; both wideouts scored a touchdown against an overmatched Pats secondary. Thomas’ usage has been spotty even in two-receiver sets so far this season. That leaves him as an iffy flex play week to week. He could benefit from a potentially high-scoring game in Week 4 against the Bengals. In shallower leagues he should stay on the bench for the time being.
Wilson took a hard hit late in the fourth quarter and was slow to get up. The Jets turned the ball over on the next play, so we never got to see Wilson return, but it sounds like he would have been back on the field had the game gone to overtime. Wilson ended the day with 10 catches for 107 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets. He found the end zone on an incredible circus catch late in the fourth quarter to tie the game up. As expected, Wilson was the focal point of the Jets’ passing attack with Adonai Mitchell sidelined. Even if Mitchell returns next week versus the Bears, Wilson will be moving up the WR2 ranks.
Schultz told the CBS booth before the game that he “hopes to not have stat lines” like he had in Week 2, an anecdote they related as he had just one catch in the fourth quarter. Sounds like news that fantasy managers wish they had heard yesterday. He didn’t have a catch in the first half and yielded a red zone touchdown to spoiler Foster Moreau. Schultz has low-end TE1 status against the Cowboys in Week 4.
The Commanders were able to put up an impressive 34 points — six of those coming on a pick six, but still — against the Seahawks, but Williams had little to do with it with a long gain of nine. The 2026 third-round pick has a chance to be a solid PPR play at some point, but Williams is much more of a dynasty option than a redraft one at this stage. He’ll likely be the third wideout for Washington in Week 4 against the Colts.
That’s more like it. McLaurin connected on a 30-yard touchdown with Marcus Mariota and went over 50 yards for the first time in 2026. Most of his connections outside of that touchdown were for short yardage, but he and Mariota appeared to have quality chemistry and took advantage of some smaller Seattle defensive backs on slants. McLaurin offers volatility, but is in the WR2 conversation for Week 4 against the Colts in London.
Durant, Hooker, and Overshown were all ruled out before the weekend, so there’s nothing surprising here. The Cowboys are down four key players on the defensive side of the ball, which could make for a big day for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
Bowers makes his debut in coach Klint Kubiak’s offense against the Saints today. The two-time Pro Bowl player should be started as a high-end TE1, although it might take a game or two for Bowers to get back into form. That said, it might not. He is an exceptionally talented player who should immediately function as his team’s top target earner.
Chanel was able to wave to the crowd as he exited, but obviously this is an injury that has potential long-term ramifications. He’ll likely be unavailable to go in Week 4 against the Colts in London.
Coker was initially deemed “questionable” but then quickly ruled out. That’s never a good sign. Coker entered the proceedings battling an ankle issue, so this is a new injury. He departed midway through the third quarter. With Bryce Young playing through something, it’s been an extremely subdued day for the Panthers’ passing attack against a feisty Browns defense. Coker had just two catches for 18 yards on four targets before departing.
The Saints will be without their gadget player and return specialist, teeing up WR Bryce Lance for the full-time No. 3 wide receiver role. Brown is not relevant in 12-team leagues, though he may be missed by the Saints. Emerson, the Saints’ No. 3 cornerback, is sidelined by a shoulder injury.
The Raiders will be without Stukes, their starting free safety, and Johnson, their backup strong safety, against the Saints. Keeping Saints WR Chris Olave and TE Juwan Johnson in check could be challenging.
Parham signed a two-year deal with the Jets in the offseason. Jordan Meredith has taken his spot at left guard. Needing a flurry of points to get back in this game, things are looking bleak for Gang Green.
Benford was in coverage away from the ball when he planted to run forward and came up hobbling. He went down and then later gingerly walked off the field with trainers. Considering Benford previously missed games with a toe injury last season, this is something to monitor in the coming weeks. Davison Igbinosun will come in to take Benford’s place.
Both Bain and Trotter being out for the Bucs makes this matchup significantly easier for Kyler Murray and the Vikings offense. Tampa’s offense has struggled against the run too, meaning Aaron Jones should be in a good spot as the Vikings’ workhorse back with Jordan Mason sidelined.
Hall was thrown to the ground on a red zone carry early in the fourth quarter and immediately grabbed at his thigh. He was slow to get up and left for the medical tent. The team ruled Hall out rather quickly, possibly signaling that the injury is serious. Braelon Allen will see the bulk of the touches for the remainder of the game.
Dallas was the only Minnesota running back besides Aaron Jones to see a backfield touch last week with Jordan Mason sidelined with injury. Dallas wouldn’t hold fantasy value unless Jones gets dinged up. Vikings declared T Caleb Tiernan, DT Elijah Williams, CB Zemaiah Vaughn, S Jakobe Thomas, S Tavierre Thomas, and P Brett Thorson inactive against the Bucs.
Jackson was injured on a first quarter play where he was called for pass interference. He’s an every-snap player for the Panthers’ defense, so this will require dipping into the team’s depth.
Chanel was unable to continue after taking hit on a run play, and while he was being stabilized, he was able to wave to the crowd upon his exit. There should be an update on the severity of the injury before the end of Sunday’s game.
Beck continues to be the Cardinals’ third quarterback and will be a gameday inactive for Week 3 behind Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew. Dadrion “Rabbit” Taylor-Demerson (back) is the main injury inactive against the 49ers.
Deemed questionable in the first quarter, Achane was officially ruled out to begin the second half. Obviously terrible news, though Achane did remain on the sideline in uniform, albeit sans his shoulder pads. Still, a player dealing with a long-term injury would typically remain in the locker room. Perhaps there is hope for Achane to suit up in Week 4 against the Vikings. But for now, fantasy managers need to consider second-year pro Ollie Gordon a must add. Jaylen Wright could also end up in the mix, but he’s inactive for Week 3 with a foot issue.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Flowers is only expected to be on the field for “about 20-30 plays.” Given this piece of news, fantasy managers looking to play Flowers shouldn’t view him as anything more than a WR3/WR4 in what could be a low-volume day for the Ravens’ WR1. While Flowers is active, the Ravens have declared WR Elijah Sarratt, FS K’Von Wallace, LB Carl Jones, LT Ronnie Stanley, DT Aeneas Peebles, and QB Fagnano inactive for Week 3.
Evans entered the weekend questionable for Week 3 after missing two practices and getting in one limited practice during the week. The veteran tends to rest minor injuries before playing in games, indicating his hip issue should not have a major impact on his output against the Cardinals. The 49ers declared QB Kurtis Rourke, DE Nick Bosa (calf), DL James Thompson (ankle), DE Romello Height (hand), LB Tatum Bethune, CB Ephesians Prysock, and OT Enrique Cruz Jr. inactive for Week 3 against the Cardinals.
Rigoberto Sanchez will supposedly handle kicking, Shrader appears to have been injured in pre-game workouts.
