Raymond continues to surprise in 2026, leading the Bears in receiving Monday Night Football for a WR1 finish in Week 3. He caught six of 7 targets for 90 yards and a TD on his way to 21.0 PPR points and a WR9 ranking on the week. It’s the second time in three weeks Raymond has produced at least 15.0 PPR points.

Burden led the Bears in targets for the second straight week in a 27-7 primetime win. He hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 61 yards and a TD along with a 7 yard rush attempt for a fringe WR1 finish to Week 3. It marks his highest scoring week of the young season and matches the second-highest of his career.

In Keenum’s first start since 2023, he totaled 3 TDs for a Bears primetime win over the Eagles. The 15th-year QB completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 247 yards and 2 TDs while adding 6 yards and a TD on the ground on his way to a QB7 finish in Week 3. It’s the first time he’s finished as a QB1 since 2019.

Hurts struggled in a favorable projected matchup against a Bears passing defense that gave up 361 passing yards and 3 TDs to Bryce Young the week before last. He completed just 16 of 25 passes for 153 yards and an INT. Hurts salvaged the poor passing performance with 25 yards and a TD on the ground, finishing as a fringe QB2 in Week 3.

Giants Edge Brian Burns tore his right ACL in Sunday's win over the Titans. That confirms the far after the game and leaves the team without its top pass rusher for the rest of the season.

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan sprained his left PCL in Sunday's loss to the Vikings and is tentatively expected to miss 6-8 weeks, ESPN's Jenna Laine reports. McMillan is still getting a second opinion on the injury. It's the latest setback for the star-crossed receiver who has missed time with hamstring, neck, and knee injuries since arriving to the NFL in 2024. He can be dropped from all redraft rosters. McMillan's absence will mean a full-time role for rookie WR Ted Hurst, who has caught 6 of 13 targets for 103 yards and a score through 3 weeks. He might be worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues but won't be a starting consideration until QB Baker Mayfield is back.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson suffered a medial ankle sprain in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos and will likely miss Week 4, HC Sean McVay said. TE Colby Parkinson sprained the AC joint in his shoulder vs. Denver but is considered "day to day," per McVay, seemingly giving him a chance to play this weekend. TE Tyler Higbee stepped up to catch 8 of 11 targets for 62 yards and a score with the Rams undermanned vs. the Broncos. He could be a desperation option for fantasy teams if Parkinson joins Ferguson on the sidelines this Sunday, though a tough matchup against the Eagles limits his upside.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones dominated backfield work in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, but he didn't do anything dominant with those opportunities. Jones carried 17 times for 58 yards (3.4 per rush) and caught five balls for 34 yards (6.8 per catch). Jones handled 81% of Minnesota's RB carries and all of their RB targets. His 6 ranked second on the team.

Vikings QB Kyler Murray returned Sunday from the Week 1 concussion that cost him Week 2, and his first full Minnesota outing did not go well. Murray completed just 15 of his 29 passes (51.7%) for 168 yards (5.8 yards per attempt), 1 TD, and 1 INT in the win over the Bucs. He added 17 yards on two rushes. To be fair, Murray did have to deal with WR Justin Jefferson leaving early because of an ankle injury.

49ers WR Mike Evans is considered "day to day" with the rib injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Evans was in serious pain with what Rapoport called a rib strain, but it sounds like he dodged a significant injury. Evans has seemingly been dodging significant injuries since training camp, missing time with quad, groin, hip, and now rib issues. We'll see if the 33-year-old is able to suit up for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos.

Saints HC Kellen Moore confirmed that RB Travis Etienne will miss time with his hamstring injury. Exactly how much time remains unclear. It's worth noting that New Orleans has a Week 8 bye, so Etienne could miss 4 games, take the bye week, and return for Week 9. We'll see if he lands on IR later this week.

Cowboys RB Javonte Williams bounced back from an inefficient first two games with 98 yards on 19 carries against the Ravens. He also punched in a goal line TD, although his receiving contribution remained limited at 2 catches for 5 yards.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will practice this week and travel with the team to London for Sunday's game against the Colts, HC Dan Quinn said. It's still unclear whether Daniels will start that game, but he at least has a chance. According to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz, Daniels addressed the team this week, telling them he was foregoing surgery and owed it to them to return as soon as possible. Daniels resumed light throwing this past weekend, Zenitz adds. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the week. He'll be a tricky fantasy decision if he ends up playing. We have to imagine Daniels' rushing will be scaled back, and he'll be at risk of re-injuring that left elbow.

The ankle injury that knocked Vikings WR Justin Jefferson out of Sunday's win over the Buccaneers is not serious, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He has an ankle sprain and the imaging was good today," Rapoport adds. "He avoided anything long term. Chance he plays Sunday." We'll keep you posted on Jefferson's status throughout the week. But it sounds like he'll miss one game at most -- and dodged a high-ankle sprain that could have hampered him for a while.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers led the team in targets (6), receptions (5), and receiving yards (84) in Sunday’s win over Dallas. He ran a route on only 63.6% of Baltimore’s pass plays after entering the game questionable with a hamstring injury.

Jets RB Breece Hall is considered "week to week" with the quad injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Hall received some good news after the MRI, as the injury isn’t as significant as feared," Rapoport adds. We'll see if we get a more concrete timetable for Hall's return, but fantasy owners should at least plan on him missing Week 4 against the Bears. And he could miss another game or two beyond that. Hall's absence will leave Braelon Allen as New York's clear lead back. Isaiah Davis will be the No. 2 RB, but he notably has not played an offensive snap yet this year.

Lions WR Jameson Williams caught all 4 of his targets for 49 scoreless yards in Sunday’s win over the Jets. That brings the fifth-year pro up to 10 catches for 127 yards on the season.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is expected to miss 3 weeks with his thumb injury, HC Todd Bowles said Monday. It's about the best news we could have hoped for after the MRI on Mayfield's right thumb showed no ligament damage. Expect him to miss the next 3 games vs. the Packers, at the Cowboys, and vs. the Steelers. Undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels is the next man up for Tampa Bay.

The Jets entered Week 3 without WR Adonai Mitchell and TE Mason Taylor. That helped rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq see a 21.6% target share, but he made the extra work count with 7 catches, 105 yards, and 1 score. Sunday marked only the fourth instance of a rookie TE hitting 100 yards since the beginning of last season.

For the third straight week to open the season, the Rams had a different scoring leader at TE. Davis Allen led the room in Week 1, Terrance Ferguson did it in Week 2, and Tyler Higbee took over in Week 3. Higbee hauled in eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and a TD, good for a TE1 finish in Week 3.
