Warner tallied 11 total tackles (five solo) and two passes defended during Sunday's 16-15 win over the Cardinals.

Warner has led the 49ers' defense in total tackles in each of the team's first three games this year, bringing his season total to 30 stops. The veteran continues to prove why he's the NFL's highest-paid inside linebacker, as he's also accumulated three passes defended and a forced fumble this season, showcasing his all-around impact. Expect Warner to remain the 49ers' defensive signal-caller in Week 4, when the Jaguars travel to San Francisco.

Allgeier rushed once for four yards and caught one of two targets for zero yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers.

After 26 rushing attempts through the first two weeks, Allgeier's muted role was a product of Sunday's game script, as the Falcons got in an early hole and tried to pass their way out of it. Allgeier is still the top backup behind Bijan Robinson, despite undrafted rookie Nathan Carter getting more touches against Carolina. All of Carter's attempts came on Atlanta's final drive, and he fumbled on his last carry.

Perine (thumb) avoided a severe injury during Sunday's loss to the Vikings and hasn't been ruled out to face the Broncos in Week 4, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Perine underwent an MRI after having been forced out of Sunday's loss to Minnesota, but those evaluations didn't reveal any significant damage. The veteran has handled a change-of-pace role behind Chase Brown, though he's generated just six touches across three regular-season appearances. Tahj Brooks would stand to get additional work if Perine does miss any time.

Carter rushed seven times for 46 yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers. He also lost a fumble.

The undrafted rookie was a healthy scratch for Week 1, but he's been active the past two games. He saw only one offensive snap during his NFL debut in Minnesota on Monday Night Football, but he got more playing time during Sunday's blowout loss. Carter didn't see any offensive snaps until the Falcons' final drive, but he got the ball on each play of the drive and looked good until he fumbled on his final touch. As long as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are healthy, there won't be many meaningful snaps for Carter except in outlier game scripts like Sunday's.

Cousins completed five of seven passes for 29 yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers.

Cousins didn't play at all during the preseason and hadn't seen game action since getting benched at the end of last season. Despite the dud from Michael Penix on Sunday, the Falcons are still rolling with the youngster as their starter and trying to trade Cousins. However, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday that Atlanta hasn't received any trade inquiries about the veteran QB, despite several teams dealing with injured signal-callers.

Guerendo did not receive a carry while gaining 19 yards on a kickoff return in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Cardinals.

Guerendo continued to be used exclusively on special teams, logging all 15 of his snaps there Sunday. Brian Robinson was the only running back to receive any carries outside of starter Christian McCaffrey. Guerendo carries no fantasy value heading into a Week 4 matchup against Jacksonville.

McKinney recorded six total tackles (two solo) and one interception in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

The All-Pro safety nabbed his first pick of the 2025 season late in the second quarter of Sunday's loss, intercepting a pass intended for Jerry Jeudy. McKinney played 100 percent of Green Bay's defensive snaps for the third consecutive game and has now recorded 15 total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, so far this season. He's expected to remain of the NFL's premier safeties ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Cowboys.

Robinson had two carries for 22 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 16-15 win over Arizona.

Robinson saw his usage drop to nine percent on offense (six snaps) against the Cardinals, and his two touches checked in well below the 8.5 he averaged over the first two weeks of the campaign. The 26-year-old made the most of his sparse opportunities Sunday, ripping off a season-best 19-yard run in the fourth quarter. No other backup running back saw the field on offense in the win, so Robinson's reduced playing time was likely the result of the 49ers leaning on Christian McCaffrey heavily against a division opponent. Expect Robinson to continue receiving a handful of carries backing up McCaffrey against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Walker tallied 14 total tackles (six solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

Walker has now played 100 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps over the first three games, recording a team-leading 31 total tackles and two passes defended. The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia has been an integral part of Green Bay's defense over the past couple seasons, recording 102 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two passes defended across 13 regular-season games in 2024. He's expected to remain one of the league's top tacklers in Week 4, when the Packers travel to Dallas.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Conklin (elbow) is progressing well and is now considered day-to-day, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

The veteran tackle from Michigan State had missed the Browns' last two games due to an elbow injury, but Stefanski's comments Monday suggest he could return for the Week 4 matchup against the Lions. Conklin likely needs to upgrade to full practice some time this week in order to play Sunday, as he was sidelined in Week 3 after practicing in a limited fashion for three consecutive days.
