Jets WR Garrett Wilson hauled in 5 catches on 9 targets for 48 receiving yards in Week 3 vs. the Patriots. There’s a realistic chance that he’s the only player on the Jets that can be useable for fantasy purposes at this point. This is a very anemic offense with QB Zach Wilson at the helm. We’ll see what they can put together in Week 4 against the Chiefs.

The Jets’ backfield is ugly. RBs Breece Hall and Dalvin Cook each tallied 18 rushing yards on 12 and 8 carries, respectively. Neither player is getting it done for fantasy managers right now. Next week’s matchup vs. the Chiefs isn’t going to be any easier. Both Hall and Cook will be flex considerations in deeper leagues for now, though expectations shouldn’t be high for either.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts led the team in Week 3 with nine targets -- the second most of his career. He caught five of them but totaled just 41 yards. QB Desmond Ridder looked Pitts' way downfield a few times, but the duo was unable to connect. Another frustrating outing for the talented TE. Pitts has at least seen 14 targets over the last two weeks, which is enough to support him as a low-end TE1. But he needs to get better QB play -- and better play calling -- if he's going to come close to reaching his fantasy ceiling.

Jets QB Zach Wilson completed 18 of 36 passes for 157 yards with no TDs or INTs in Week 3’s loss vs. the Patriots. There’s no reason he should be in lineups outside the deepest of 2QB or superflex leagues. The young signal-caller will remain off the fantasy radar in Week 4 vs. the Chiefs.

Falcons RBs Bijan Robinson (10-33-0) and Tyler Allgeier (7-12-0) combined for just 55 yards on 17 carries in Sunday's loss to the Lions. Robinson's 11-yarder was the team's longest run of the game. The rookie at least salvaged his fantasy day with four catches on six targets for 27 yards. But it was a surprisingly ineffective day for one of the league's best running games. It's worth noting that Detroit entered Week 3 ranked 13th in run defense DVOA, so perhaps the Lions aren't a matchup to necessarily attack going forward. We're not overly concerned about the Falcons RBs, though. Robinson remains an every-week RB1, while Allgeier is a RB3 or flex that will produce better numbers when Atlanta plays with the lead.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill struggled to deal with pressure in Week 3, taking five sacks – including 3.5 from EDGE Myles Garrett. The veteran completed just 13 of 25 passes for 104 yards, 0 TDs, and 0 INTs. He's now tallied only 1 passing score through 3 games. He's tough to trust as anything more than a low-end QB2 right now. Next up is a home showdown with the Bengals.

Titans RB Derrick Henry managed only 20 yards on 11 attempts in a Week 3 loss. Even against a stout Cleveland defense, this outcome was tough to anticipate. Henry’s yardage marked his lowest output since 2017. The Titans’ O-line remains an issue, but Henry’s volume will keep him in the RB1 mix next week vs. Cincinnati.

Browns RB Jerome Ford racked up two TDs in Week 3. Entering a tough matchup with Tennessee, the second-year back mustered only 1.8 YPC on 10 attempts. But he cashed in with one goal line score – and added a downfield TD catch while split out wide. Ford will remain on the RB2/FLEX radar for a Week 4 date with Baltimore. Note that Kareem Hunt mixed in for 5 carries (3 targets) in his 2023 debut.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson passed for 289 yards and 2 TDs in a Week 3 win over Tennessee. Watson completed 81.8% of his passes on a day that found Cleveland accomplish little on the ground. He leaned on Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore, with the duo combining for a 51.5% target share. Watson hosts the Ravens for Week 4 before entering a Week 5 bye.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson suffered an apparent right knee injury late in Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. Jefferson was able to walk off the field under his own power. We'll update his status as soon as we know more.

Update: Jefferson was reportedly cramping and has already returned to the game. Exhale!

Ravens RB Gus Edwards left to get checked for a concussion in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Colts. That leaves the backfield to Melvin Gordon and Kenyan Drake. We'll update Edwards' status when we know more.

Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. (quad) is active for today's game against the Bears.

Chargers WR Mike Williams suffered an apparent left knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He needed a couple of trainers to help him off the field. Stay tuned for an update.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and would be a high-risk fantasy play.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday – and then reportedly looked and felt good enough in a Saturday workout to play today. This is a plus matchup against a bad Bears defense, but the hamstring adds risk to Pacheco’s fantasy profile. See where he lands in the Week 3 RB Rankings.

Saints QB Derek Carr suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Packers and is questionable to return. QB Jameis Winston has entered the game for New Orleans. We'll update Carr's status when we know more.

Update: Carr has been ruled out. It appeared to be a right shoulder injury.

Seahawks S Julian Love (hamstring) and S Quandre Diggs (hamstring) are active for today's game against the Panthers. S Jamal Adams is inactive. Expect him to make his season debut in Week 4 after returning to practice the past two weeks.

Seahawks TE Will Dissly (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. His absence is a slight boost to TE Noah Fant.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so we’re expecting him to play his usual role today.

The Eagles will "ride the hot hand" at RB vs. the Bucs on Monday night, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. RB Kenneth Gainwell returns after missing Week 2, when RB D'Andre Swift went off for 175 rushing yards. We're expecting Swift to get the first crack at establishing that hot hand, but this remains a tough backfield to project.
