Ryan Fitzpatrick goes over 400 yards in near comeback win against the Steelers.

Down 30-10 at halftime, Fitzpatrick and the Buccaneers went into comeback mode and nearly pulled it off in a narrow three-point loss. Fitzpatrick was 30/50 for 411 yards, three touchdowns, three interception, and added five carries for 27 yards. The three interceptions all came in the first half, with one coming on a tipped pass the line of scrimmage that deflected up into the air; another coming on a miscommunication with Mike Evans on a deep crossing route; and the third coming on a play where his arm appeared to be hit on a pass from the end zone, which was returned for a pick-six (the ESPN broadcast inexplicably didn’t mention that his arm might have been hit as he threw). Fitzpatrick again had no issues chucking the ball around and down the field to his weapons, and he’s become the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 400 yards in three straight games. Despite the turnovers tonight, it will be a major surprise if Fitzpatrick is benched for Jameis Winston (returning from suspension) after leading the team to a 2-1 record in his absence. Fitzpatrick offers obvious QB1 upside in Week 4 against the Bears.

Will Dissly catches one pass against the Cowboys.

Dissly gained four yards on his lone reception in Seattle’s Week 3 victory. Hopefully you didn’t chase the points from Dissly’s excellent first two games of his career, but the rookie tight end should have many more good weeks moving forward in 2018 and beyond. He is a TE2 option for Week 4 against Arizona.

Matt Breida is dealing with a hyperextended knee, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan said.

Shanahan called Breida questionable for this weekend against the Chargers, so we’ll certainly keep an eye on him on the practice report throughout the week. Breida played through the hyperextension during yesterday’s game, so we’d expect he’ll be ready to go for Week 4. If not, Alfred Morris could be poised for a 20-carry game.

Robert Woods goes for 10/104/2 in the Rams’ win over the Chargers.

The 26-year-old also rushed three times for 13 yards. Woods caught a three-yard pass in the first quarter to find the end zone, and then scored from six yards out in the second half. Sean McVay’s offense arguably looks even better than it did a season ago, and Woods has had a couple strong games after a disappointing opener. It’ll be interesting to see who Xavier Rhodes covers on Thursday night, but he might just remain on one side of the field, which makes all of Woods, Brandin Cooks, and Cooper Kupp worth considering in Week 5.

Dalvin Cook (hamstring) did not practice today.

Earlier today, Cook indicated he believes he’ll be able to play on Thursday night against the Rams, but he’s probably headed toward a game-time call. We’ll monitor Cook’s practice status today and tomorrow before we see how he’s listed on the official injury report for the game when it’s released Wednesday.

Mike Davis gets one touch in Week 3.

Davis caught one pass for seven yards. Chris Carson seemingly has full control of Seattle’s backfield, so Davis isn’t a fantasy option at the moment.

Adrian Peterson is dealing with a sprained ankle.

It’s just a mild ankle sprain, and the Redskins have a bye week this week. Peterson is expected to be fully ready to go for Week 5 against the Saints, but we’ll monitor his practice status next week.
