Johnson rushed three times for 13 yards and caught one pass for eight yards in Buffalo's win over Miami on Thursday night.

Johnson played 15 offensive snaps behind James Cook and has now amassed 51 total yards on eight touches through three games. He has minimal fantasy value.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Marshall (hamstring) is viewed as week-to-week, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Marshall was injured in the second quarter of Thursday night's loss to the Bills. The good news for Marshall is he has 10 more days to try and get ready ahead of Miami's Week 4 game against the Jets on Monday, Sept. 29.

Egbuka (hip/groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant, Rock Riley of the Tampa Free Press reports.

Egbuka didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to hip and groin injuries and now could come down to a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. With Chris Godwin (ankle) still sidelined, the Buccaneers have Tez Johnson, Ryan Miller and Kameron Johnson as options to fill in at WR (alongside Mike Evans and Sterling Shepard) if Egbuka ends up on the inactive list.

Mariota will replace Jayden Daniels (knee) as Washington's starting quarterback Sunday against the Raiders, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.

Daniel returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, suggesting he may be ready for Week 4 at Atlanta on Sun., Sept. 28. In the meantime, Mariota will try to replicate his level of play from last season, when he completed 34 of 44 passes for 364 yards and four touchdowns, with 92 yards and another TD on the ground. While unlikely to maintain that type of efficiency, Mariota does seem to be a good fit in Kliff Kingsbury's offense, and with enough running ability to offer fantasy value even if his passing stats are merely average.

Coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Burrow underwent toe surgery Friday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Per Baby, Taylor noted that the procedure to address the QB's Grade 3 turf toe injury went well, but at this stage the Bengals don't have a timeline for Burrow's return. Previous reports have suggested that Burrow's recovery period is expected to be in the three-month range, an estimate that leaves the door open for a possible late-season return for Cincinnati's franchise signal-caller. In Burrow's absence, Jake Browning will fill in as Cincinnati's starting QB, with Brett Rypien set to serve as his backup and Mike White and Sean Clifford currently on the team's practice squad.

Taylor-Britt (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

DJ Turner (hamstring) is also dealing with an injury, but coach Zac Taylor indicated Turner has a good chance to play Sunday. Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey will be pushed into elevated snaps on defense with Taylor-Britt unlikely to play.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Daniels (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.

Daniels will miss at least one game due to the sprained knee he suffered Week 2 against the Packers, despite returning to practice Friday as a limited participant. Marcus Mariota takes over as Washington's starting QB for the home matchup with Las Vegas.

Palmer was on the field for 26 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Thursday's 31-21 win over the Dolphins.

After being targeted nine times Week 1 and three times Week 2, Palmer logged just one target (for five yards) Thursday. While a bounce-back is possible as soon as Week 4 against the Saints, fellow WRs Elijah Moore and Tyrell Shavers combined for five targets versus Miami, while Keon Coleman (45) and Khalil Shakir (42) paced the team in terms of Week 3 snaps.

Coach Matt LaFleur doesn't expect Kraft (knee) to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Per Schneidman, LaFleur was non-committal on Kraft's status for Sunday's game against the Browns, while noting that he doesn't believe the tight end will go on injured reserv. If Kraft is unavailable this weekend, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick would be in line for added Week 3 opportunities, with Ben Sims (who has been a healthy scratch so far this season) also potentially in the mix.

Coach Mike McDaniel expects Waller (hip) to play against the Jets on Monday, Sept. 29, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Per the report, McDaniel noted Friday that Waller was "super close" to playing in Thursday's loss to the Bills, while suggesting that the tight end may have been able to play had the game been Sunday. With his return to game action on the radar, Waller is worthy of roster consideration for those in TE-friendly formats, or who otherwise are looking to bolster their depth at the position.
