Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield dislocated his right thumb and is scheduled for an MRI, HC Todd Bowles said after the loss to Minnesota. Mayfield is "likely to miss time," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We should find out how much time tomorrow. Undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels is Tampa Bay's backup. He projects as a huge downgrade for the passing game and offense in general.

Raiders WR Jack Bech broke his forearm in Sunday’s game vs. the Saints and will be placed on IR, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Bech had been operating as Vegas’ No. 3 WR, catching 5 of 6 targets over the first two weeks. There’s minimal fantasy impact here.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield injured his right thumb late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. The thumb slammed against LB Blake Cashman as Mayfield followed through on a throw. He was in obvious pain and headed straight back to the locker room. We'll update his status when we know more. Undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels is Tampa Bay's backup.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) is inactive for tonight's game against the Broncos. He reportedly has a chance to return for Week 4, although ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that surgery has not been ruled out if Nacua doesn’t improve. We’ll keep you posted on his progress. WR Davante Adams and TE Terrance Ferguson are the Rams’ best target bets tonight.

Saints RB Travis Etienne appeared to injure his left hamstring in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He was limited in practice this week with a hamstring but left off the final injury report. We'll update Etienne's status when we know more.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys with a hand injury. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Andrews returned in the third quarter.

49ers WR Mike Evans suffered an apparent chest or rib injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He was in a lot of pain as he slowly made his way off the field. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Evans has been ruled out with a rib injury.

Update: Evans has a rib strain and will get a full evaluation on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers with a left ankle injury. He briefly tried to play through the issue but then headed back to the locker room with trainers. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Jefferson has been ruled out.

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan suffered a knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings and has been ruled out. We'll look for details on the severity. His absence leaves rookie Ted Hurst as Tampa Bay's clear No. 3 WR.

Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that RB De'Von Achane's knee injury looks serious. "To be honest with you, it does not sound optimistic," Hafley added. We should get an official diagnosis on Achane within the next 24 hours, but expect a lengthy absence, potentially the rest of the season. Achane's absence left Ollie Gordon as Miami's lead back. He carried 17 times for 41 yards and a score, adding 14 more yards on 3 catches. RB Jaylen Wright was inactive with stinger and foot injuries. His status going forward is uncertain. Miami has RBs Jarquez Hunter and Carlos Washington on the practice squad. Gordon is the add here but won't be more than a volume-based RB3 in an offense that will continue to struggle.

Commanders LB Leo Chenal left the field on a stretcher in the second quarter Sunday with a neck injury. Fortunately, he was moving his arms and legs in the wake of the injury. Fox's Pam Oliver reported that Chenal had feeling in his extremities as well. Second-year LB Kain Medrano stepped in for Chenal, who had already been filling in for Frankie Luvu (groin). We'll see about the status for both guys heading into Week 4.

Panthers CB Mike Jackson left Sunday's game at Cleveland with a groin injury. The team ruled him out, which doesn't bode well for his Week 4 outlook. Carolina gets a home clash with the Lions before a Week 5 bye. That could factor into the timing of Jackson's return.

Bills CB Christian Benford left in the second half of Sunday's game against the Chargers with a toe injury. The team called him questionable to return. We'll see about his status for a Week 4 home date with the Patriots. Dee Alford replaced Benford in the lineup.

Jets RB Breece Hall suffered a thigh injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Lions and was quickly ruled out. We'll look for more info on the severity. His absence leaves Braelon Allen as New York's lead back.

Commanders RB Rachaad White is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks with a shoulder injury. He caught a 6-yard TD and carried twice for 4 yards before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: White returned in the third quarter.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker suffered a quad injury in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Browns and is questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Coker has been ruled out.

49ers WR Mike Evans (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Although he only got in a limited practice on Friday, Evans never seemed to be in real danger of missing this one.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He was limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practices before sitting out on Friday, which HC Klint Kubiak said was planned. It’s safe to assume that Bowers isn’t back to 100% yet, but we haven’t heard anything about him being on a snap count today. Check your Team Dashboard to see if Bowers belongs in your starting lineup.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Cowboys. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was reportedly a game-time decision for this one. Multiple reports this morning said that Flowers would be limited if he played. He’s a risky fantasy play, but there’s certainly upside against a bad Dallas secondary.

Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori left Sunday's game against the Commanders with a hamstring injury. The team has deemed him questionable to return. Emmanwori just returned last week following offseason ankle surgery. We'll need to see him play a full game before using him in IDP lineups.
