Jackson recorded six total tackles (five solo) and one interception during Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

The 28-year-old tied Tre'von Moehrig for the second-most tackles on Carolina's defense Sunday, trailing Christian Rozeboom's nine-stop effort. Jackson has played a large part in the Panthers' defensive success this season, recording 11 total tackles and three passes defended, including one interception, over three games. He's expected to remain one of the team's top defensive playmakers in a Week 4 matchup against the Patriots.

The Panthers are awaiting MRI results to diagnose the severity of Sanders' right ankle/foot injury, though initial X-rays were encouraging, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Sanders was forced out of Sunday's blowout win over the Falcons early, though he secured both of his targets for 11 yards before leaving the field. The second-year pro has operated as Carolina's top pass-catching tight end, so if he were to miss any time it would provide an opportunity for Tommy Tremble to take on extra receiving work.

Smith-Wade recorded five total tackles (all solo) and one pick-six during Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

The second-year pro from Washington State has had a great start to his first season as a full-time starter in Carolina, recording eight total tackles and one pick-six across his first three games. He's expected to remain the Panthers' top slot corner in a Week 4 matchup against the Patriots.

Hunt carried the ball 10 times for 34 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

Hunt scored Kansas City's only rushing touchdown versus New York, but he was outproduced by Isaiah Pacheco (45 rushing yards) on an identical amount of carries. Of course, as neither Hunt nor Pacheco has yet demonstrated a reason to run away with the No. 1 backfield role, they remain primed for a timeshare entering Week 4, as the Chiefs prepare for a difficult home matchup against the Ravens. In deeper fantasy formats, Hunt possesses limited appeal as a TD-dependent flex option.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Jones needs season-ending knee surgery, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Jones sustained a knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Packers that will sideline him for the remainder of Cleveland's 2025 campaign. The Ohio State product has struggled with injuries since entering the league, missing 13 regular-season games over the past three seasons. Cornelius Lucas is likely the next man up at left tackle for the Browns ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Lions.

Allen secured his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over Houston.

Allen handled 21 of 70 offensive snaps versus the Texans, working ahead of Bhayshul Tuten (12 snaps). That workload split was in large part due to the heavy ratio of passing situations that confronted Jacksonville's offense Week 3, which favor Allen's change-of-pace skill set. Allen will remain involved in a No. 3 backfield role Week 4 against the 49ers, but Tuten is still the primary backup to Travis Etienne.

Washington secured four of 11 targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans.

Washington paced Jacksonville's receivers in targets versus Houston while playing a season-high 71 percent of offensive snaps, and in Week 2 against the Bengals he led the team with 76 receiving yards. Part of Washington's involvement has presumably come due to the recent heavy workload of rookie Travis Hunter on defense, and No. 3 receiver Dyami Brown (shoulder) was also forced off the field early Sunday. Washington could again stare down a path to expanded opportunities Week 4 against the 49ers, which would put him on the fantasy radar as a sneaky flex option.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters Monday that Stingley is considered day-to-day with an oblique injury, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 24-year-old corner is still being evaluated after sustaining an injury in the Texans' Week 3 loss to the Jaguars. Prior to his injury, Stingley played just 14 defensive snaps and recorded one pass defended. His practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication on his availability for Houston's Week 4 matchup against the Titans. If Stingley is unable to go, expect Tremon Smith to see increased reps at outside corner.

Tracy suffered a dislocated right shoulder during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs and is in line to miss time, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Tracy handled seven carries for 29 yards and caught two of three targets for seven yards before being forced out late in the first quarter versus Kansas City. It was notable to see Tracy handle such a large workload after having taken a back seat to rookie Cam Skatteboo in Week 2. Now that Tracy is expected to miss at least a few games, however, Skattebo has a clear path to the Giant's lead-back role, and Devin Singletary becomes positioned as the No. 2 backfield option. The team hasn't officially commented on the severity of Tracy's injury yet, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be a candidate for IR.

Moore is expected to miss a couple weeks after sustaining a calf injury in Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Moore recorded two total tackles and one pick-six before sustaining a calf injury in the second half of the Week 3 win. The 31-year-old is a big part of Indianapolis' defense, recording 78 total tackles and seven passes defended, including three interceptions, across 15 games in 2024. In a corresponding move, the Colts signed Mike Hilton on Monday to help fill the void created by Moore's absence over the next couple of games.
