Benjamin Watson is in concussion protocol.

Watson left late in the second quarter against the Steelers and headed to the locker room. It doesn’t look like he’ll be coming back into the game, but we’ll see.

Sam Bradford (knee) won’t practice today, but the team hopes he can play on Sunday.

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said they’re giving Bradford a day of rest but doing “everything we can” to get him ready for Sunday against the Lions. As Zimmer said, this is a “big game” in the NFC North against the Lions, so they obviously want to get Bradford out there. We’ll see if he gets in a limited practice tomorrow or Friday.

Travis Kelce held to one catch in Week 3 win.

And it went for just one yard. It was obviously a disappointing day for the talented tight end, but he should bounce back in a big way against Washington next Monday night. He’s still the top option not named Gronkowski at the position.

Brice Butler scores for second-straight week.

Butler caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown against the Rams, and he really seems to be emerging as a real threat for Dallas. On the touchdown, Butler was running a route in the end zone and saw Dak Prescott scrambling to his left, so he broke off the route—that was initially going to the right—and made himself available for Prescott in the end zone. Perhaps it was a designed route for Butler to break it off like that, but either way its as a nice play. He now has a touchdown two weeks in a row and is someone to keep an eye on, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option right now.

Jaron Brown scores in Week 3 loss.

Brown caught two of six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Cowboys. The touchdown was a 25-yarder on a post route to cap the Cardinals’ first drive of the game. Brown also had a would-be touchdown called back by a holding penalty, and he nearly had a great leaping grab at the sideline but could only get one foot in bounds after he was forced out. Brown will be in FLEX consideration for deep leagues if John Brown is out again against the 49ers on Sunday.

Lions improve to 3-1 with win over the Vikings.

Matthew Stafford played mistake-free as the defense played well and limited Minnesota to seven points in the victory. Stafford was 19/31 for 209 yards in the game, and he also was sacked six times by the Vikings. Through four games, Stafford is on pace for 3,548 yards, 28 touchdowns, and four interceptions as he’s playing very well—just not with a high fantasy floor each week. Stafford and the Lions return home to face the Panthers next week.

Jaguars feed Fournette in 23-20 overtime loss to the Jets.

Fournette rushed 24 times for 86 yards, and also caught a team-high four passes for a team-high 59 yards and one touchdown. The fourth-overall pick is getting all the work he can handle, and he’s established himself as a secure RB1. Despite averaging 3.5 yards per carry, Fournette is on pace for 1,140 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s also on pace for 48 catches for 500 yards and four scores through the air.
