Trevor Lawrence Solid in Week 3 Blowout Victory
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a solid fantasy output in a 35-6 victory over the New England Patriots. Lawrence didn't have a showstopping day by any means, but the Patriots offense struggled with turnovers, giving the Jaguars good field position often. That allowed the Jaguars offense to score quickly without needing to gain much in yardage. That is shown by Lawrence's final stat line of 182 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception on 19 completions. He also added 25 rushing yards. Lawrence now has two efficient performances and one poor performance through three weeks. He will look to continue his efficiency in Week 4 against what should be a vulnerable Cincinnati Bengals secondary.

Sam Darnold Puts Up Big Numbers in Return to Action
After missing Week 2 with a glute injury, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold returned to action in a 33-31 Week 3 loss to the Washington Commanders. Darnold put up big numbers, as he completed 31 out of 45 pass attempts (68.9%) for 379 yards and four touchdowns, while adding one rush for five yards. However, he also threw two interceptions. Darnold scored 28 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues. Darnold suffered a glute injury on the first drive of the 2026 season opener, a 13-10 win over the New England Patriots. He missed the matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, which the Seahawks won 31-7. While the Seahawks are relieved to have Darnold back in the starting lineup, it wasn't enough for Seattle to get a road win against the Commanders on Sunday.

Terrance Ferguson Returns After Injury Scare
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, Brandon Krisztal reports. He appeared to aggravate the ankle injury that he was dealing with earlier in the week. After getting checked out, Ferguson returned with his teammates and is back in the game. The 23-year-old is expected to have a bigger role in the offense with Puka Nacua (hip) inactive for this game. Ferguson had six catches last week and should be a key pass-catcher now that he's back on the field.

Bucky Irving Leaves Game in Fourth Quarter, Misses Final 10 Minutes
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (undisclosed) struggled to find success on the ground during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He carried the ball 15 times for 46 yards, while hauling in two receptions for an additional 12 yards through the air. It was a disappointing day for Irving, who was possibly injured in the fourth quarter. The third-year back didn't play and was seen standing on the sideline during the final 10 minutes of Sunday's loss. The organization hasn't said anything about an injury, but Irving sitting out in a one-score game during the final quarter is strange. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates on his status ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Ollie Gordon II Takes Advantage of Increased Playing Time
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II made the most of his increased playing time during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lead back De'Von Achane (knee) was forced to exit early in the first quarter and didn't return. Gordon carried the ball 17 times for 41 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss. He also hauled in three receptions for 14 yards through the air. Afterwards, head coach Jeff Hafley said he wasn't optimistic about Achane. It sounds like Gordon could take over as the lead back for a period of time. The 22-year-old is going to be a popular waiver wire addition this week ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Justin Jefferson's Injury Doesn't Sound Too Serious
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) was forced to leave during the first half of Sunday's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Jefferson got close to returning to the game multiple times, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. The Vikings are going to continue to evaluate Jefferson, but it doesn't sound like his ankle injury is too serious. He finished Sunday's game with two receptions on two targets for 32 yards. The Vikings have a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to see if Jefferson will be available for that game.

Mike Vrabel is Highly Concerned After Week 3 Loss
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was unhappy with his team's performance during the Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Vrabel told reporters that his concern level is very high with this football team, Carlos A. Lopez reports. It was an ugly game for the Patriots, who got crushed 35-6 on Sunday. The defense got exposed by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who threw three touchdowns. The Pats offense looked bad behind quarterback Drake Maye and his two interceptions. The Patriots take a 1-2 record into their Week 4 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. This is a huge game for New England, which cannot afford to drop to 1-3 on the season.

Baker Mayfield Dislocates Right Thumb, Likely to Miss Time
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) reportedly suffered a dislocated right thumb, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mayfield is expected to get an MRI on Monday to assess the damage, but is likely to miss time, per Rapoport. Mayfield left a 23-16 Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings late in the fourth quarter. Mayfield walked off the field with medical staff, while clutching his hand, before heading back to the locker room for further evaluation. Unfortunately for Mayfield, the injury took place on a fourth-and-13 play in which he was intercepted by Minnesota linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel. Tampa Bay backup quarterback Jalon Daniels will likely start for the Buccaneers if Mayfield does miss any time.

Bech was ruled out by the Raiders early in the third quarter after getting injured during the second quarter.

Puka Nacua Will Not Play Versus Broncos in Week 3
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (hip) is inactive for Week 3's Sunday Night Football matchup with the Denver Broncos due to a hip injury, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. It will be the second consecutive game that Nacua has missed. He did not practice during the week and was designated as doubtful entering Sunday. Nacua recorded five receptions for 74 yards in Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers, which was his only action of the 2026 season thus far. With Nacua out, quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams will rely on wide receivers Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and others in the passing game.

Jack Bech Ruled Out with Forearm Injury
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Saints due to a forearm injury, according to the team. Before exiting, the wide receiver had limited involvement in the offense, not drawing a single target from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Through his first two games of the season, Bech caught five of his six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown. Managers should expect Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor to continue to operate as the top wide receivers in the offense.

Mike Evans Dealing with Rib Strain, to Undergo Full Evaluation on Monday
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (rib) is dealing with a rib strain and is set to undergo a full evaluation on Monday. Evans was lifted early from Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals with a rib injury, as he was carted off the field. Rapoport noted that these types of injuries can be quite painful. Managers should pay close attention to his status during the early stages of the week, as he could be in danger of sitting out of their Week 4 contest against the Denver Broncos. Evans entered this weekend's contest with a questionable tag due to a hip injury but may now be dealing with something more serious. Before exiting, Evans made an impact, catching three of his six targets for 34 yards and a score. While he remains out, tight end George Kittle and wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. should operate as Brock Purdy's go-to options in the passing attack.

Travis Etienne Jr. Exits Sunday's Game with Hamstring Injury
New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) exited Sunday's contest early with an apparent hamstring injury, according to Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports. The running back was dealing with a hamstring injury leading up to Sunday's contest and appears to have aggravated it in the third quarter. Nowak noted that Etienne was seen heading to the locker room. Before exiting, Etienne took 13 carries for 57 yards and caught both of his targets for another 13. While sidelined, managers should expect Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and CJ Donaldson to take most of the carries out of the backfield.

Mark Andrews Returns to Sunday's Game After Injury Scare
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (hand) returned to this contest against the Dallas Cowboys in the second half. The veteran tight end exited the game in the first half with an apparent hand injury but quickly returned to the field. Before exiting, Andrews had a quiet showing, catching only one pass (three targets) for a low nine yards. He should return to a prominent role in the passing attack alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Justin Jefferson Ruled Out on Sunday with Ankle Injury
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest due to an ankle injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The star wideout sustained this injury in the first half and will now be sidelined for the remainder of the contest. Before exiting, the 27-year-old brought in both of his targets for 32 yards from Kyler Murray. Managers should watch his status after the contest, as the team will likely provide an update. For the remainder of the game, Jordan Addison should operate as the WR1 while Jauan Jennings slides into the No. 2 role.

Mike Evans is Ruled Out with Rib Injury
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (rib) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, Nick Wagoner reports. Evans was carted off the field during the first half of this game after taking a major hit. The veteran wideout seemed to be having trouble trying to breathe. The team is ruling him out with a rib injury, but the severity of the issue is unknown at the moment. Evans finished this game with three receptions on six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown. Deebo Samuel Sr., George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey will be asked to do the heavy lifting with this offense banged up. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Evans later.

Geno Smith Has Productive Day In Loss to Lions
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith was very efficient and effective in the team's 31-24 loss to the Lions in Week 3. Smith was 31-for-37 passing for 321 passing yards and three touchdowns and added two carries for 12 rushing yards. It was a highly productive day for Smith, who found tight ends Kenyon Sadiq and Jeremy Ruckert for touchdown passes and also found his top receiver Garrett Wilson for a passing score. Smith took advantage of a fairly porous Lions defensive unit and had a great fantasy day. Look for Smith to continue his good season especially when receiver Adonai Mitchell returns from injury and adds another weapon to the passing attack.

Mark Andrews is Questionable to Return with Hand Injury
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (hand) was forced to exit during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Andrews is currently considered questionable to return after suffering a hand injury during the first half of this game, Nick Harris reports. Before leaving, Andrews hauled in one of his three targets for nine yards. Rookie tight end Matt Hibner could see an expanded role if Andrews is unable to return. Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman should be the primary pass-catchers while Andrews is out. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates on Andrews as the second half rolls on.

Jonathan Taylor Finds Going Tough in Week 3 vs. Texans
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had a bit of a tough time on the ground against a tough Texans defense in the team's 19-17 victory. Taylor carried the ball 23 times for just 68 rushing yards and added two receptions for just four receiving yards. Taylor was a fantasy disappointment in this game after setting a high bar by scoring two rushing touchdowns in each of his first two games this season. He can still be counted on as an elite option at running back, but this game was a rough one against a very good defense in Houston. Look for Taylor to bounce back in Week 4 during the team's matchup with the Washington Commanders.
