Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Luke McCaffrey bounced back in a big way on Monday night. After catching three passes for 18 yards in his NFL debut, the Rice product was held out of the box score last weekend. However, on Monday, McCaffrey caught all three of his targets for 44 yards, good for second-most among Washington pass catchers. His best play of the night came on a fourth down where Washington needed just two yards but the 23-year-old went on to pick up 30 and set up their first score of the evening. This was an excellent rebound game for the young wideout as he continues establishing himself as the No.2 receiver in this offense. For now, McCaffrey remains an excellent stash candidate and is a name to keep a close eye on going forward as he continues to build a connection with his fellow rookie QB.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss played well in Monday's loss to the Commanders. The 26-year-old finished the night with 12 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown, finding the end zone off a one-yard carry late in the contest. He also got involved as a pass-catcher, bringing in five of his six targets for 39 yards. While Chase Brown was more involved than in the first two games of the season, ending with seven touches for 62 yards, it's clear Moss is the preferred option out of the backfield. With two touchdowns in the Bengals' first three games of the 2024-25 campaign, Moss remains a starting fantasy option in Week 4 versus the Carolina Panthers.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels flirted with perfection on Monday night as he went 21-for-23 with 254 passing yards and two scores. He added 40 yards and a score on 11 carries on the ground. After earning his first professional victory last week against the Giants, the former number-two overall pick took a significant step forward this evening. Daniels was poised in the pocket all night and had his best game as a passer. After Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler punched in the first two scores on the ground, Daniels took the rest of the game into his own hands as he ran in a score before halftime and threw two passing scores in the second half, including his first-ever passing score that came from the one-yard line to lineman Trent Scott. Later in the fourth, Daniels would throw the eventual game-winning score to his No.1 wideout Terry McLaurin from 27 yards out. Fantasy managers should view the former LSU Tiger as a QB1 going forward, as not only did he flash the elite upside as a runner, but he was beginning to settle in as a passer. He is a must-start next week as he travels to the desert to face the Cardinals.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. ran for 33 yards and a score on 16 carries in their victory on Monday evening against the Cincinnati Bengals. He caught his lone target for four yards through the air. After posting a career-high in rushing yards last week, Robinson saw a steep drop in production but finished with a solid fantasy game, thanks to the goal line score in the first quarter. Jayden Daniels took a significant step in his development this evening as he threw for his first and second career touchdown passes while only logging two incompletions, which took some work off Robinson. Fantasy managers should still expect Robinson to be a serviceable RB2 on an offense that continues to improve weekly. He is a solid start in all formats against the Arizona Cardinals next week.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin led the team in receiving with 100 yards and a score. He caught four of his six targets. After tallying only 39 receiving yards through the opening two weeks, McLaurin had a much-needed breakout game on Monday night. This was highlighted by an impressive 27-yard TD catch, which eventually became the game-winner. Quarterback Jayden Daniels took a significant step forward in his development as a passer on Monday, which suggests that McLaurin could be in store for even bigger games going forward. He is a must-start WR2 next weekend as he will face the Arizona Cardinals in what should be another high-scoring affair.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the team with five receptions in their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. The veteran tight end was given many looks during crunch time and was Jayden Daniel's safety net in the middle of the field. The 33-year-old has emerged as the No.2 pass-catcher in the first three weeks in this offense and has seen at least four targets in every game. Ertz should be viewed as a safe low-end TE1 going forward as he has built a strong connection with his rookie QB and should always be in line for consistent targets given the uncertainty at wide receiver behind Terry McLaurin. Ertz should be a priority waiver-add if you need a tight end and should be started in all standard formats next week in Arizona.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas had a stellar showing in Monday's loss to the Commanders. With Tee Higgins (hamstring) back in the lineup, most assumed Iosivas would cool off after scoring twice in the Week 2 clash with the Chiefs. However, that didn't happen, with the wideout ending the evening by amassing five receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. It's reasonable to assume Higgins will get more involved in the Bengals' upcoming matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Still, Iosivas deserves at least a flex spot in fantasy lineups in Week 4 based on his last two performances.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) made his 2024-25 debut on Monday night versus the Commanders. The wideout missed the team's first two games because of a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, his presence didn't help, with the Bengals remaining without a win after three weeks. Higgins didn't look horrible on Monday night, catching three passes (six targets) for 39 yards. Understandably, fantasy managers were still hoping for more. But Higgins has a favorable matchup against the Panthers on the horizon in Week 4, so he warrants a spot in the starting lineup in any fantasy format.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught six of his seven targets for 118 yards in Monday's loss to the Commanders. The former LSU Tiger also had two touchdown grabs, finding the end zone off a 41-yard toss from Joe Burrow early in the first quarter before scoring again in the fourth. Unfortunately, the Bengals remain winless, with the team losing their third contest of the season. But the Cincinnati offense is clicking, with Chase finally having a potent fantasy outing after subpar showings in the last two games. As always, keep the 24-year-old in the starting lineup when the Bengals meet the Panthers in Week 4.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had a stellar showing in Monday's meeting with the Washington Commanders. The signal-caller finished this one with 324 yards and three touchdowns off 29-for-38 passing. He added one carry for four yards. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, as the Bengals will now fall to 0-3 on the year. After a quality performance in Week 2 in the narrow loss to the Chiefs, Burrow kept it going, giving fantasy managers reason to remain optimistic heading into Week 4 versus former Bengals starter Andy Dalton and the Carolina Panthers. Keep Burrow rolling in all fantasy formats.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales reiterated that veteran quarterback Andy Dalton is the starting QB after he led the team to their first win of the season over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3 on Sunday. "Andy's our quarterback. He gives us our best chance to win," Canales said. Carolina decided to bench Bryce Young, the first overall pick in 2023, after two disastrous outings to begin his sophomore campaign. Dalton proceeded to go 26-for-37 for 319 yards with three touchdowns and no interception in a surprising 36-22 win over Vegas. The Red Rifle instantly made the Panthers' offense better in his first start of the year, and while Young is expected to start again at some point in 2024, this is Dalton's show for now. QB-needy fantasy managers in superflex leagues could do worse than Dalton in a pinch heading into Carolina's Week 4 meeting against his former team, the Cincinnati Bengals.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) won't return to Monday's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran had only three touches. However, he ran for 35 yards and scored a touchdown off a 24-yard carry in the second quarter, adding two catches for 22 yards. Ekeler hasn't been the reliable fantasy option he was during his time with the Los Angeles Chargers. But after finding the end zone on Monday night, fantasy managers will monitor his health more closely heading into the Commanders' Week 4 game versus the Arizona Cardinals. With Ekeler out of the equation, Jeremy McNichols should get the scraps left over by Brian Robinson Jr. for the remainder of Week 3.

The Baltimore Ravens signed free-agent defensive back Yannick Ngakoue, who last played for the Ravens in 2020, on Monday to give them extra pass-rush help, according to a source. The 29-year-old pass-rusher has 69 career NFL sacks with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears and the Ravens. He will begin on Baltimore's practice squad but should eventually join the active roster. Ngakoue was a Pro Bowler in his second year in the league in 2017, when he had a career-high 12 sacks, 30 tackles (24 solo) and a league-leading six forced fumbles in 16 games played. In 13 contests with the Bears last year, Ngakoue had 22 tackles (13 solo), four sacks, six tackles for loss and seven QB hits. In nine games for Baltimore back in 2020, he had 11 solo tackles and three sacks.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (head) is uncertain to return to Monday's Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran back is currently being elevated for a concussion after hitting his head during the third quarter of Monday's game. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Commanders play it safe and hold out Ekeler for the rest of the game. Before exiting, Ekeler rushed three times for 35 yards with a touchdown on the ground. He also hauled in both his targets for 22 yards in the receiving game. His absence should mean more playing time for fellow back Brian Robinson Jr. during the second half of this game.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) is hopeful to get back on the field around mid-season, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Greenlaw is still recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered during the Super Bowl in February. The organization hasn't given a solid timetable on his return and said he's still a ways away. His return will be an immediate boost to this defensive unit, but until then De'Vondre Campbell figures to continue starting in his place.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II will remain the team's starter heading into the Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. There were some rumors going around that the Raiders would shake it up at QB after Aidan O'Connell was called upon to take over under center during Sunday's blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers. For now, the Raiders are sticking with Minshew, but head coach Antonio Pierce hinted that a change could be on the horizon. O'Connell looked decent as he completed 9-of-12 passing attempts for 82 yards and one touchdown in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Neither quarterback is going to be a viable fantasy option for managers right now.

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) is currently considered questionable to return to Monday's Week 3 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. This is a tough break for the Jaguars who are already without multiple key defenders. First, defensive back Jarrian Jones (shoulder) left during the first drive of the game, now Oluokun exits during the first half as well. His absence will probably mean that Ventrell Miller or De'Antre Prince gets more time if he can't return. The Jaguars cannot afford to have anymore defensive injuries, so hopefully Jones and Oluokun can return during this game.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Jarrian Jones (shoulder) is considered as questionable to return to Monday's Week 3 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Jones was forced to exit during the first drive of the game due to a shoulder injury. The loss of Jones is a big hit with the Jaguars secondary already banged up. This secondary is already without Tyson Campbell, Andrew Wingard, Darnell Savage, and now possibly Jones. It's going to tough for the Jaguars to slow down Bills' quarterback Josh Allen with a handful of key defenders sidelined. Christian Braswell figures to see increased playing time with Jones sidelined.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku's (ankle) status for Week 4 is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Stefanski said the team will have a better idea later in the week.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players will need to monitor Njoku's practice participation during the week to see if he will be able to play against the Las Vegas Raiders. He is a big part of the passing game when healthy and can be a No. 1 tight end if he plays in Week 4.
