Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed 18 times for 46 yards in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams, and he added four receptions for just nine yards on five targets.

Fantasy Spin: It was a disappointing fantasy performance from one of the top options in league, especially with his team posting 33 points. He'll look to get back on track in Week 4 at Tampa Bay, and he remains an obvious fantasy must-start in all leagues.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) likely avoided suffering a major injury during Sunday's Week 3 loss against the Chicago Bears, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Lamb injured his ankle on a rushing attempt early in the game. He exited to receive treatment, returned for one play, and then exited again. After his second departure from the game, he did not return. The star pass catcher finished without a catch, and his rushing attempt was nullified due to a penalty, so he didn't actually record a statistic in the game. Lamb's status for Week 4 remains up in the air. If he can't suit up, George Pickens would operate as the Cowboys' No. 1 wide receiver.

Los Angeles Rams WR Tutu Atwell and TE Tyler Higbee each went without a reception in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Atwell was targeted just once, while Higbee had two targets.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jalen Royals (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 3 contest against the New York Giants. The rookie had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. He'll make his pro debut on Sunday night after missing the first two games of the season. Royals could provide a boost to a wide receiver room that is currently without Rashee Rice (suspension) and Xavier Worthy (shoulder). However, the fourth-round pick will likely still find himself behind established receivers like Marquise Brown, Tyquan Thornton, and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris suffered an Achilles injury during Sunday's Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos, head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed. He's scheduled to undergo additional testing soon. Harris suffered the injury on a non-contact play while planting his feet in the backfield, and he was eventually carted off the field. Non-contact Achilles injuries typically come with lengthy recovery timetables, so it's possible that Harris is done for the season. Rapoport notes that the Chargers don't have an exact timetable for Harris, but they're not optimistic. The veteran running back, who never missed a game with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has suddenly faced significant injury trouble in Los Angeles. First, he injured his eye during a fireworks incident over the summer, and now, he's likely done for the year with an Achilles injury. He'll work to recover and get healthy before hitting free agency for the second consecutive offseason next March. In the meantime, Omarion Hampton will take over full possession of the lead-back role while Hassan Haskins offers a change of pace.

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams finished with three receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Spin: Adams started well, but he had nearly half of the targets (eight) to that of Puka Nacua (15). While he might be considered the WR2 in L.A., he is still a very valuable fantasy weapon, and he is a recommended WR2 in most leagues of 12 or more teams.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 15 of his 21 pass attempts for 207 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also carried the ball six times for an additional 40 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. All in all, it was a very solid outing from the veteran quarterback, starting in place of the injured Jayden Daniels (knee). He showcased a rapport with several Washington receivers while demonstrating an impressive ability to move the ball with his legs. It's unclear if Daniels will miss additional time, but if he does, Mariota should rank as a high-end QB2 against an Atlanta Falcons defense that just surrendered 30 points to the Carolina Panthers.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 19-of-33 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Spin: It wasn't a terrible performance, but it wasn't great, either. It was basically a microcosm of his fantasy appeal. He can occasionally serve as a low-end QB1 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams, but more often than not, he is more of a QB2 in most formats.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught one pass for six yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. He was targeted three times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki is sharing playing time with Noah Fant and has been held to under 20 yards in all three games this season. He should be avoided in all fantasy leagues unless he becomes more involved in the passing game later in the season.

From TheHuddle

The New York Giants have declared OG Evan Neal, TE Thomas Fidone II, LB Darius Muasau, QB Jameis Winston, S Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, DE Chauncey Golston and DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches inactive for Week 3.

From TheHuddle

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku ended with team bests of five catches, 40 yards and seven targets in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Spin: It wasn't a great stat line by any stretch, but he was the best of the lot on a day which yardage and points were tough to come by. He remains a low-end TE1 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams, and he has really struggled to put up good stats due to mediocre QB play hurting his fantasy value.

From TheHuddle

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason made his first start in place of Aaron Jones Sr. (hamstring) during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Vikings said they planned to heavily involve Mason in the game plan, which they certainly did. Mason rushed 16 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout victory. He wasn't targeted in the passing game, which is a bit of a concern going forward. However, Mason is going to be just fine if he continues to rush the ball like that. He'll get a tougher matchup next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mason remains the primary back going forward, so fantasy managers should consider him a low-end RB1 for Week 4.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins finally gave fantasy managers some solid production during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It hasn't been a pretty start to the season for Collins, but this whole offense has struggled early in the season. Collins was able to make a big splash this week when he hauled in a 50-yard touchdown, which looked like blown coverage by Tyson Campbell. He finished his day by hauling in eight of his 11 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Collins has the skills of a top tier wideout, but the Texans offense is awful right now. That being said, Collins is falling more towards a low-end WR1 or WR2 for Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine (thumb) rushed for 21 yards on four carries against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3 before leaving the game because of a thumb injury.

From TheHuddle

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry looked like an unstoppable force during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Henry has been fairly quiet up until this game, but made a huge splash on Sunday. He hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. It's worth noting that Henry did briefly exit the game due to a lower body injury. However, he returned and looked fine as he scored his second touchdown of the game. Drake Maye hasn't been able to find much success with any of his wide receivers, so Henry appears to be his safety blanket. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Henry to get double-digit targets every week. However, he should remain in the mix as a low-end TE1 for next week's matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans WR Tyler Lockett caught four passes for 37 yards against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3. He was targeted four times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Lockett was more involved in Week 3 than he was in the previous two weeks but was still held under 40 yards during the game. He may see a few targets in the passing game next week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley caught one pass for 27 yards against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3. He was targeted seven times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Ridley received a good amount of targets during the game but was not able to connect with Cam Ward in the passing game. He has been targeted at least six times in all three games this season and should see a similar workload against the Houston Texans. He can be a possible flex option in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Cleveland Browns QB Joe Flacco completed 21-of-36 passes for 142 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Spin: Flacco did very little, and he shouldn't be relied upon for fantasy purposes outside of the very deepest leagues. He is a low-end QB2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams, at best, and he is not a recommended option for Week 4 in Detroit.

From TheHuddle

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Conner took an ugly tackle on a one-yard run during the third quarter. He immediately grabbed his right leg after the play. Conner needed to be carted off the field, which is never a good sign. He'll finish this game with 22 yards on nine rushing attempts while hauling in three receptions for 15 yards through the air. This looked like a brutal multi-week injury, but more information should be known after further testing is done. For now, Trey Benson will step up and be asked to take on a larger role on offense.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Lamb suffered a left ankle injury during the first quarter. He attempted to return in the second quarter, but didn't last too long. At the moment, it's unclear how significant of an ankle injury Lamb is dealing with right now. Fantasy managers should get more information on his status soon. In the meantime, George Pickens will take over as the top wideout. Also, KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert should see increased roles.
