Marlon Mack handles 18 touches in Colts’ win.

Mack was battling a calf injury entering the Week 3 contest against the Falcons, but it didn’t appear to be much of an issue for him, as he looked to get better as the game went on. Mack had a fourth quarter rushing touchdown on a goal line run he bounced to the outside, and overall he had 16 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown along with two receptions for 14 yards. Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins combined for just five carries behind him. Mack has 299 rushing yards through three games, and he’ll remain a strong high-floor fantasy option for Week 4 versus the Raiders. He looks like one of the safest weekly options in 2019 and was likely a major steal in some fantasy drafts after the panic over Andrew Luck’s retirement.

Antonio Brown tweets that he “will not be playing in the NFL anymore.”

Brown is somehow trying to say he should be paid $40 million in guarantees from the past two months and wonders whether the NFLPA will do something about it, which is obviously as delusional as it gets. The former All-Pro receiver burned every bridge possible in Pittsburgh and Oakland before becoming too big of a distraction in New England, so he is highly unlikely to get any more money than he’s legally owed. Brown also took a shot at what he deems to be a double standard for him and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. This could end up just being some social media frustration and we could see Brown eventually suit up for another team, but the outburst certainly won’t help his chances.

Travis Benjamin (hip) officially did not practice today.

Benjamin is looking iffy for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins after coming up limping late in Week 3, but we’ll see if he’s able to get out on the practice field in one of the next two days.

James White will not play today, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

White’s wife is set to give birth, so White understandably won’t be out there today. While anything can happen in an NFL game, the Patriots frankly aren’t expected to need White as humungous favorites over the Jets. Rex Burkhead will handle a bigger role on passing downs after already getting a good amount of playing time in the first two games, and we could also see Sony Michel be used more as a receiver after the talk throughout the summer about him improving in that area. Michel is in the RB1 mix, and White being inactive puts Burkhead in the strong FLEX mix. White should be back for next Sunday at Buffalo.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside catches one pass in Week 3.

With Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (abdomen) out for the Eagles, Arcega-Whiteside received more playing time; but the second-round rookie caught just one pass for ten yards in the game. JJAW wasn’t noticeable for much of the game, but he had an opportunity at a go-ahead touchdown late in the game on a deep ball that he couldn’t come up with after it went off his hands. Arcega-Whiteside is a strong dynasty league option, but he does not need to be owned in standard redraft leagues.

The Lions have promoted Marvin Hall to the active roster.

Hall isn’t expected to have a significant role behind Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola, but he’s a guy that can potentially get behind Philly’s defense for a big play on Sunday.

Mike Williams (back) did not practice today.

At least Williams isn’t listed on the injury report with his knee injury, but now this back issue becomes a concern. It’s only Wednesday, and hopefully Williams is able to get on the practice field on at least a limited basis tomorrow.
