Murray (concussion) completed 15 of 29 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception and took two carries for 17 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win at Tampa Bay.

In his first game action since suffering a concussion in the first quarter of a Week 1 victory against the Packers, Murray lost No. 1 WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) in the first half Sunday but largely avoided any game-changing mistakes while leading the Vikings to a 3-0 record on the season. Murray's first TD pass with Minnesota was a 41-yard connection with Jordan Addison late in the second quarter, while his pick well inside Vikings territory in the middle of the third quarter resulted in only a made Chase McLaughlin field-goal attempt for Tampa Bay. Murray's next chance for game action is next Sunday versus the Dolphins.

Parkinson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Parkinson suited up despite failing to practice all week due to a knee injury, but he's now questionable to return due to an unrelated shoulder injury. Prior to hurting his shoulder in the first quarter, Parkinson didn't catch his only target Sunday night.

Lawrence completed 19 of 29 passes for 182 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding four rushes for 25 yards in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Lawrence's passing yardage continued its downward trend for the second straight game, but the 2021 first overall pick threw multiple touchdown passes for the second time to open the season. Lawrence connected with Josh Cameron (12 yards), Jakobi Meyers (10 yards) and Parker Washington (17 yards) for his trio of scoring tosses, and he offered solid supplemental fantasy production with his legs. Lawrence will take 616 passing yards and a 7:2 TD:INT into a Week 4 road showdown against Joe Burrow and the Bengals next Sunday.

Bateman caught two of three targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys.

Bateman finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Zay Flowers, who compiled 84 receiving yards in the latter's return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Bateman stepped up with seven catches for 88 yards and a touchdown while Flowers was sidelined in Week 2, but Flowers is the clear No. 1 option in Baltimore's wide receiver room, as Bateman was held without a catch when Flowers was active for the season opener. Up next for Bateman and the Ravens will be a Week 4 home game against the Titans.

Washington secured three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

The dynamic slot receiver tied for second in receptions and targets on the afternoon for Jacksonville while also finishing as the runner-up in receiving yards. Washington also was on the receiving end of one of Trevor Lawrence's three touchdown passes of the day, recording a 17-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter. Washington's totals Sunday were season lows across the board, but he's off to a hot start with a 15-221-2 receiving line over the first three games heading into a Week 4 road showdown against the Bengals next Sunday.

Mayer caught all three of his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints.

Brock Bowers made his season debut after recovering from minor knee surgery and made an immediate statement with a 10-116-1 line on 13 targets, but Mayer didn't vanish completely from the game plan as a receiver and hauled in his first score of the year in the second quarter. The three targets were still a season low for Mayer, after he compiled a 9-55-0 line on 11 looks from Kirk Cousins during Bowers' absence. As long as Bowers remains healthy, Mayer will struggle to make a consistent impact.

Daniels took over for an injured Baker Mayfield (thumb) during Sunday's 23-16 defeat to the Vikings, with the former failing to complete any of his three passes with an interception and recording one nine-yard rush.

Mayfield threw a pick with just under two minutes left in the matchup and then remained down as he favored his right hand before immediately heading to the locker room. Daniels, an undrafted rookie, took over the offense with 28 seconds remaining and the Buccaneers down seven points, but he was unable to lead a game-winning drive while tossing an interception of his own on the last play of the contest. Head coach Todd Bowles told Greg Auman of Fox Sports that Mayfield sustained a dislocated thumb on his right throwing hand, and if the veteran signal-caller does miss time, Daniels would be poised for his first career start next Sunday against the Packers.

Stevenson rushed seven times for 22 yards and brought in all three targets for 16 yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

As was the case with backfield mate TreVeyon Henderson, Stevenson saw his opportunities on the ground capped to an extent by a game script that saw the Patriots already down 11 by halftime and 25 heading into the fourth quarter. Stevenson was just one carry and rushing yard apiece behind Henderson's workload on the ground, and both backs will look to be more involved in a key Week 4 road matchup against the Bills next Sunday.

Ferguson (ankle) went to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday night's game against the Broncos, James Palmer of NFL on Prime Video reports.

Ferguson seemed to aggravate the ankle injury that limited his practice participation earlier in the week. If Ferguson's unable to return to the game, the Rams will be down two key pass catchers, as they are already playing without Puka Nacua (hip). Ferguson had six catches for 54 yards and a touchdown in the previous game but was hurt on his first target Sunday night, which fell incomplete.

Cousins completed 22 of 33 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints. He added three rushing yards on three carries.

The veteran QB got his first chance to work with Brock Bowers, but it was Michael Mayer and Cody White who were on the other end of Cousins' first two TDs of the afternoon, before he connected with his superstar tight end for a four-yard score in the fourth quarter that provided the game-winning points. Cousins has led the Raiders to a stunning 3-0 record to begin the season, completing 67.4 percent (62-for-92) of his passes for 661 yards with a 9:3 TD:INT, and 2026 first overall pick Fernando Mendoza could be waiting a while before he gets a chance to make his first NFL start. Cousins will face a much tougher test in Week 4 at home against Kansas City.
