Braxton Miller is inactive for Week 4.

It appears the second-year receiver is a healthy scratch unless he injured something in warmups, because he was not listed on the injury report this week. Miller has only three receptions for 25 yards through three games this season.

Aaron Jones scores first career touchdown in Packers’ win.

The rookie running back from UTEP stepped up after Ty Montgomery (ribs) and Jamaal Williams (knee) both left the game and didn’t return. Jones carries 13 times for 49 yards and a touchdown in the game. It was cool to see Jones score—it was on a carry by the goal line—and do a “Lambeau Leap” for his first NFL touchdown, and hopefully he’ll have a lot more of them in the future. If Montgomery and Williams are both out in Week 5, Jones would definitely be in FLEX consideration.

Lamar Miller carries 14 times in Week 3 loss.

Miller gained 56 yards on his 14 attempts while also adding a seven-yard reception on his only target against the Patriots. D’Onta Foreman had eight carries, but he also added a couple of huge receptions in the passing game. Still, Miller is the lead guy and should be in most fantasy lineups against Tennessee in Week 4.

Jarvis Landry gets team-high 11 targets in loss to the Jets.

Landry had six receptions for 48 yards, as the Dolphins offense was limited by New York’s defense. London games are tricky because you don’t know how certain teams and players are going to react, but Landry has a good matchup against the Saints there in Week 4.

Doug Baldwin (groin) will be a game-time decision on Sunday.

Two days ago, Pete Carroll said Baldwin is planning on playing against the Colts, so we would consider him slightly better than 50/50 to suit up. That said, it is at home against the talent-deficient Colts, so Seattle probably won’t push their receiver or have him play a full compliment of snaps. Consider Baldwin a risky FLEX option, especially if you don’t have another option on Sunday or Monday night to potentially replace him. Tyler Lockett and Paul Richardson should see a boost in targets either way, as should tight end Jimmy Graham.

Aaron Rodgers throws four touchdowns in Thursday night win over the Bears.

It wasn’t the most outstanding game of Rodgers’ career, but he still threw four touchdowns as his team improves to 3-1 to start the season. The veteran quarterback was 18/26 for 179 yards and four touchdowns in the game—his 21st career game with 4+ touchdown passes. They were put in good field position for the first two touchdowns and threw them to Davante Adams and Randall Cobb. Then he hit a wide-open Jordy Nelson by the goal line on his next two touchdown tosses. In Week 5, Rodgers and the Packers get ten days of rest before facing a vulnerable Cowboys secondary. If Ty Montgomery (broken ribs) is out, it could be a very pass-heavy gameplan.

Danny Amendola gets five targets in Week 3.

Amendola wasn’t peppered with targets in his return like was in Week 1, but it was still a good day for him. He had three receptions for 48 yards, including a key 27-yard reception when the Patriots needed a big play on their game-winning drive against the Texans. Next week against Carolina, Amendola has a difficult matchup against nickel corner Captain Munnerlyn—but he’s still a fine option in PPR leagues.
