Report: Percy Harvin still in play for Week 8

A league source tells Profootballtalk Percy Harvin (PUP, hip) is still a candidate to be activated for Week 8.

The Seahawks have three weeks to activate Harvin after he returned to practice on Monday. Seattle obviously doesn't need Harvin to beat the Sam Bradford-less Rams on Monday Night Football, but if he's ready, he's ready. There's nothing to gain by holding him out if he proves he's 100 percent in this week's practices. That being said, Harvin would almost certainly be on a snap count if he's active for Week 8, and wouldn't be a desirable WR3. His status will be updated no later than Thursday, when Seattle returns to practice.

Dez Bryant (knee) undergoing MRI on Monday

Dez Bryant will undergo an MRI on his knee Monday.

Bryant scored in the fourth quarter of Sunday evening's Bears shellacking, but evidently tweaked something. X-rays came back negative, but the Cowboys were compelled to do further testing. For what it's worth, owner Jerry Jones said he's "fine with it," but clearly nothing can be ruled out until the MRI results come back. We'll learn Bryant's status some time on Monday.

Elliott runs for 140 yards in workhorse role

Ezekiel Elliott had 30 carries for 140 yards and caught two passes for 20 yards in the Cowboys' Week 3 win over Chicago.

Elliott had two touchdowns vultured, including one to Lance Dunbar. Even with the offensive line missing multiple starters, he had a ton of running room all game. Elliott’s highlight was a hurdle over S Chris Prosinski at the end of a third quarter run. He didn't have any ball security issues after two fumbles last week. Elliott is locked in as a RB1 for Week 4.

Dak throws for 248 yards, 2 total TDs on SNF

Dak Prescott completed 19-of-24 passes for 248 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's Week 3 win over Chicago.

It’s another strong game from Prescott, who threw his first touchdown pass to Dez Bryant in the fourth quarter. Prescott also had 36 yards rushing and scored a one-yard sneak on the opening drive. With Bryant playing though a knee injury, he was forced to spread it around to Cole Beasley and Terrance Williams. Prescott still doesn’t have any turnovers through three games. He’s one of the top streaming options for Week 4 against the 49ers.

Jeremy Langford carted off in second half

Jeremy Langford was carted off with an ankle injury in Week 3 against Dallas.

He's done for the night. Langford had 46 total yards on five touches before exiting. He was already losing work to Jordan Howard, and is now potentially dealing with a multi-week injury.

Report: Russell Wilson expects to play Week 4

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Russell Wilson (knee, ankle) is "expecting to play" Week 4 against the Jets.

Wilson is really banged up -- battling a high-ankle sprain in his right leg and a reported sprained MCL in his left -- but early word is he's going to give it a go next Sunday. It's obviously way early to assume these things, and we should know more after his MRI on Monday. Consider him day to day for now.

Darren Sproles goes off for 126 yards in Week 3

Darren Sproles lost one yard on two carries and caught all six of his targets for 126 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Eagles' Week 3 win over the Steelers.

Sproles led Philadelphia in targets, catches and receiving yards. The highlight of his afternoon, and the Eagles’ day in general, was a magnificent 73-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter. Carson Wentz improvised on the play, scrambling toward the right sideline before finding Sproles wide open about 25 yards up the field. Sproles crossed the goal-line untouched after weaving through a maze of defenders in the Steelers’ secondary. Fantasy owners can’t bank on his usage but Sproles is among the best gadget players in football and is always a threat to take it in for six. He’ll get a bye before facing the Lions in Week 5.

Gurley, Rams score first touchdowns of 2016

Todd Gurley rushed 27 times for 85 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' Week 3 win over the Bucs.

He lost five yards on his lone reception. In a moment equal to man discovering fire, Gurley and the Rams discovered touchdowns. His scores were both one-yard bunnies. It was hardly an elite day, with Gurley managing just 3.14 yards per pop. His 2016 average now sits at 2.90 through 63 totes. Things are unlikely to get much better in Week 4, where the Rams will be traveling to take on the Cardinals' strong run defense, one smarting from an embarrassing loss to the Bills. Gurley will be a low-end RB1 who needs touchdowns to provide value.

Breaking: Carson Wentz (301 yds, 2 TD) is a thing

Carson Wentz completed 23-of-31 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns and rushed once for 10 yards Sunday in the Eagles' Week 3 win over the Steelers.

During the first couple games it was hard to tell if Wentz was a phenom or just a guy blessed with two incredible matchups against the lowly Browns and Bears. After beating the stuffing out of a Pittsburgh team regarded as one of the best in football, we can all agree that Wentz, the man Jon Gruden once pummeled with pool noodles on national television, is indeed for real. In his third career start, Wentz vastly outplayed future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger. He spread the wealth, connecting with seven different receivers en route to his first 300-yard game. 102 passes into his NFL career, Wentz has yet to throw an interception. Staked to a 31-point lead through three quarters, Wentz spent most of the second half handing the ball off to running backs not named Ryan Mathews. The Pride of Fargo will have a bye next week before taking his act on the road against Detroit in Week 5.

Ryan Mathews goes missing in Week 3

Ryan Mathews lost five yards on two rushes Sunday in the Eagles' Week 3 win over the Steelers.

Mathews didn’t play a snap after the first quarter as his backfield mates took turns embarrassing Pittsburgh in a lopsided victory. The Eagles haven’t explained his absence, though we’re guessing it’s related to an ankle issue he’s been dealing with since training camp. Mathews has averaged just 3.15 yards per carry this year, though he's managed to stay relevant in fantasy with a trio of goal-line touchdowns. He has the bye week to heal up before the Eagles head to Detroit in Week 5.

Jeremy Maclin posts 4/35/0 line in prime spot

Jeremy Maclin caught 4-of-7 targets for 35 yards in the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Jets.

Maclin and the entire passing game was allowed to rest on their laurels with the Jets spinning their wheels in the second half, but Maclin missed a couple opportunities before the break to have a much bigger game. He had a long pass down the right sideline bounce off his shoulder pads, and he failed to get his head around on another long pass down the seam on the next play. Either play would have made his line look a lot better. Despite the mediocre day, Maclin is as solid a WR2 as there is in the game. He should be starting in most leagues against the Steelers next Sunday night.

Redskins CB Breeland has high ankle sprain

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.
