Tuten rushed 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 17 yards in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Serving as the clear lead back once again, Tuten proved himself worthy of the role with a crisp performance that saw him consistently generate useful gains versus a talented Patriots front seven. Tuten capped off his fantasy-friendly effort with his second rushing touchdown of the campaign, a one-yard run with just over eight minutes remaining to close out the scoring on the afternoon. Tuten is averaging an impressive 4.7 yards per carry and is averaging a solid 16 touches through three games, rendering him an appealing option in all formats heading into a Week 4 road showdown against the Bengals next Sunday.

Warren rushed 17 times for 127 yards and secured three of four targets for 49 yards in the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Warren had the Steelers' backfield to himself Sunday due to the absence of Rico Dowdle (toe), and the former took full advantage. Filling his usual versatile role, Warren came within striking distance of his single-game career high of 143 rushing yards, and he would have easily blown by that figure had an 87-yard run just before the midway point of the fourth quarter not been nullified by a DK Metcalf holding penalty. If Dowdle is unable to beat the short turnaround for a Week 4 road matchup against the Browns on Thursday night, Warren will be in store for another hefty workload in the divisional clash.

Thompson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Thompson sustained the injury during the second quarter, and after being checked on in the blue medical tent, the veteran safety made his way to the locker room, where he'll undergo further tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Alijah Clark should see more snaps on defense for as long as Thompson is out of the game.

Ward completed 23 of 36 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants. He added two rushing yards on one carry.

For a third straight game to begin the season, Ward failed to reach 200 passing yards, and his first turnover of 2026 came at the worst possible time. With the Titans in the red zone and looking for a game-winning touchdown inside the final minute of the fourth quarter, Ward lofted a pass into the end zone that Jevon Holland picked off. The second-year QB has seen a marginal improvement in his completion rate from the 59.8 percent he posted as a rookie, but Ward has produced just four TDs (two passes, two rushing) through three games. He'll likely need to up his output significantly in Week 4 against the Ravens if the Titans are going to have a chance at an upset.

Higgins brought in six of seven targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase turned in signature performances in the high-scoring loss, and the former finished as the runner-up in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the day to his talented teammate. Higgins' first score of the season came on a 28-yard grab late in the first half, knotting the score at 17-17 going into halftime. Through three games, Higgins is on pace for a potential third career 1,000-yard season, as he's quickly amassed a 14-244-1 line on 23 targets.

Andrews exited Sunday's game versus the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro due to a hand injury.

Before he departed in the second quarter Sunday, he reeled in just one of three targets for nine yards. For as long as Andrews is sidelined, WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman likely will serve as the top pass catchers in Baltimore's offense.

Brown rushed 13 times for 61 yards and brought in both targets for eight yards in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Brown continued his career-long tradition of efficient rushing performances against the Steelers, but the running back's overall opportunities were at least somewhat capped due to game script. The versatile back also struggled to make an impact in the passing game for the second straight game after opening the season with a 5-22-0 receiving line, as he's produced the same number of receptions for just 10 yards over the last two contests. Brown should continue in a workhorse role against the Jaguars at home next Sunday.

Evans suffered an apparent undisclosed injury during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Evans dealt with a hip issue during Week 3 prep but was able to suit up Sunday, only to exit in the second quarter one play after he was sandwiched between some Arizona defenders. He then left the sideline on a cart, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Prior to his departure, Evans hauled in three of six targets for 34 yards and one touchdown.

Werner (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Werner suffered a stinger in the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, Isaiah Stalbird and Danny Stutsman are two candidates to see an increase in workload at inside linebacker.

Spears (ankle) turned three carries into five yards during the Titans' 12-7 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

The lack of offensive touches are likely due to an ankle injury that Spears aggravated during Sunday's loss. The fourth-year running back was cleared to return, but his carries were well behind backfield mate Tony Pollard (17), with Spears not seeing a target from Cam Ward. Spears' ankle issue is worth monitoring heading into Week 4 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 4, as his absence would open up the door to playing time for rookie fifth-rounder Nicholas Singleton.
