Bashaud Breeland - DB - Redskins

Redskins CB Bashaud Breeland has a high right ankle sprain.

Breeland left Sunday's win over the Giants in the first few minutes and did not return. High ankle sprains tend to be multi-week injuries. The Redskins are very thin at cornerback and figure to now turn to third-round rookie Kendall Fuller in their nickel package alongside Josh Norman and Dashaun Phillips.

Andrew Luck - QB - Colts

Andrew Luck completed 24-of-37 passes for 331 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Colts' Week 3 win over the Chargers.

Sep 25 - 7:56 PM
Spencer Ware - RB - Chiefs

Spencer Ware rushed 20 times for 75 yards and hauled in his only target for 8 yards in the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Jets.

The final line is not impressive, but Ware was again even against a tough run defense. He easily picked through traffic on inside runs, showed the burst to do damage in the open field, and had a great hesitation move to get the corner on what should have been a six-yard touchdown in the second half, although it was ruled he fumbled into the end zone on review. Ware has proven himself to be an above-average back, and he will have a role even when Jamaal Charles returns.

Alex Smith - QB - Chiefs

Alex Smith completed 25-of-33 passes for 237 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Jets.

Smith's touchdown came on an easy short throw to Travis Kelce, who did the rest with a dive for the pylon. Smith was on pace for a bigger game at halftime, but the Jets’ inability to do anything on offense allowed the Chiefs to just sit on the ball and limited him to just 11 passes in the second half. More concerning for his fantasy value, Smith had zero rushing attempts in this game outside of three kneel-downs and has just 14 yards on the ground through three games. If he is not running, he is not worth using in standard leagues. He will be a low-end QB2 on Sunday night against the Steelers.
Sep 25 - 7:52 PM
Melvin Gordon - RB - Chargers

Melvin Gordon rushed 16 times for 35 yards and one touchdown in the Chargers' 26-22, Week 3 loss to the Colts, adding four catches for 43 yards on seven targets.

In a dream spot against a horrific Colts defense, Gordon was a mild disappointment, though he was able to save his fantasy day with a one-yard touchdown plunge. The Colts had been eviscerated by opposing running backs Weeks 1 and 2, but held Gordon to just 2.2 YPC. Gordon played a ton on passing downs, but Philip Rivers threw one ball at his feet and overshot him on what should have been a walk-in 16-yard touchdown on a screen pass. Gordon will be in an elite spot once again Week 4 when San Diego hosts the Saints on a short week.

Russell Wilson - QB - Seahawks

MMQB's Albert Breer reports the Seahawks believe Russell Wilson has a sprained MCL in his left knee.

It's perhaps more notable that both coach Pete Carroll and Wilson himself expressed confidence after Sunday's win that Wilson will be able to play in Week 4 against the Jets. NBC's Mike Florio reported Wilson will undergo an MRI on Sunday night to determine the full extent of the damage. Wilson insisted he "doesn't think the knee injury is as serious as it looked." Wilson is also dealing with a high ankle sprain on his right leg.

Bilal Powell - RB - Jets

Bilal Powell hauled in 6-of-7 targets for 41 yards and rushed four times for 30 yards in the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.

With the Jets in comeback mode in the second half, Powell saw plenty of targets down the stretch and actually ended up leading the team in catches and receiving yards. He was more involved on third downs and in obvious passing situations this week, but Matt Forte remains the clear lead back. Powell is just a handcuff at this point.

Tyler Lockett - WR - Seahawks

Tyler Lockett was not targeted in the Seahawks' Week 3 win over San Francisco.

Lockett entered this game listed as questionable with a knee injury, but his health was not an issue. He returned a punt 62 yards and nearly took it to the house, but simply wasn't a big part of the passing game on a day where Doug Baldwin (8-164-1) and Jimmy Graham (6-100-1) did the heavy lifting. Lockett will continue to be a volatile fantasy option in the Seahawks' offense. His yardage totals through three games are 17, 99, and 0.
