Smith (hamstring) was unable to return to Sunday's game against Dallas.

Smith was injured on special teams in the first half. He entered Sunday having logged just seven defensive snaps across the first three weeks of the season.

Mahomes completed 15 of 30 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders. He also rushed twice for no gain.

Mahomes threw touchdown passes of two yards and eight yards to Tyquan Thornton, who exited the game in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury suffered at the end of a 55-yard catch. The Chiefs also lost Rashee Rice (hamstring) in the first half. Thornton is likely looking at a lengthy absence, but Rice has a chance to recover during Kansas City's Week 5 bye before facing the Chargers in Week 6. Mahomes has led the Chiefs to a 4-0 record while posting a 9:2 TD:INT, but the team is down to Xavier Worthy, Cyrus Allen, Jalen Royals and Nikko Remigio at wide receiver at the moment.

Adams suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Giants, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Adams had to be carted to the locker room and was replaced by Jon Gaines at right guard for the remainder of the contest. Projected starter Chase Bistontis suffered a season-ending torn MCL earlier in the summer.

Purdy completed 19 of 30 passes for 218 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 10 carries for 29 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Purdy performed admirably against a tough Broncos defense, and his legs helped him to yet another a sack-free afternoon despite the challenge posted by Denver's aggressive unit. Purdy didn't fire his first touchdown pass of the day until the 4:15 mark of the third quarter, hitting Deebo Samuel from one yard out to snap a 3-3 tie. The veteran signal-caller then sealed San Francisco's victory with a 56-yard scoring strike to George Kittle just before the two-minute warning, and Purdy remained free of interceptions for the third straight game. Purdy has a league-leading 11 touchdown passes and has yet to be brought down through four games, but he'll have a stiff challenge on his hands in a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Gordon carried the ball nine times for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings. He also caught both his targets for zero yards.

On a day when Malik Willis and the passing game could get very little going against a tough Minnesota defense, Gordon was Miami's only reliable weapon. His longest gain went for 53 yards, and he scored his team's only TD on a 12-yard jaunt late in the third quarter. With De'Von Achane (knee) lost for the rest of the season, Gordon has staked his claim to taking over the lead role in the backfield -- Jaylen Wright, his main competition, managed just seven rushing yards on five carries. Gordon will look to build on this performance in Week 5 at home against the Bengals.

Moore (shoulder) is dealing with an injury that isn't considered long-term, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Moore exited Sunday's loss to the Patriots after aggravating a previous shoulder injury. He isn't expected to miss significant time, though it remains to be seen if Moore will play against the Rams in Week 5. The 29-year-old wide receiver has suited up for 92 consecutive regular-season games dating back to the 2020 season.

Evans brought in five of eight targets for 76 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Despite playing through a rib injury, Evans tied for the team lead in receptions while also setting the pace in receiving yards and targets for the 49ers on the afternoon. The veteran wideout's totals in the latter pair of categories were also new season highs, and having presumably made it through the game without setbacks, Evans has a bright fantasy outlook overall heading into a tough Week 5 road showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.

McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 52 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of five targets for 18 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

McCaffrey saw a reduced workload by his lofty standards, although he still outpaced backfield mate Kaelon Black by nine carries. The star back had to tough out the majority of his gains on the ground, including his one-yard touchdown run with just under nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. McCaffrey has yet to top 15 carries in any game this season, but he has four rushing TDs and 340 total yards heading into a Week 5 road showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Bowers (illness) caught six of 11 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Bowers suited up despite dealing with an illness and proceeded to lead the Raiders in targets and receiving yards, with one more target and four more yards than fellow TE Michael Mayer. Bowers gave the Raiders a chance down the stretch with a 20-yard touchdown catch to make it a one-score game with 1:46 remaining in the fourth quarter. He has quickly made up for lost time after missing the first two games of the season following a knee procedure, as Bowers has compiled 16 catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns in two games since making his return. Up next for Bowers and the Raiders will be a Week 5 trip to New England.

Jeanty rushed 15 times for 58 yards while catching six of eight targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Jeanty posted another inefficient performance on the ground, as he's averaging just 3.4 yards per carry this season and has yet to score on 78 rushing attempts. The workhorse running back has made up for his pedestrian performance on the ground by contributing consistently through the air, as Jeanty has 19 catches for 155 yards and two receiving TDs heading into the Raiders' Week 5 road game against the Patriots. Backup Mike Washington had just 17 yards on 10 touches Sunday, so he isn't making much of a case to cut further into Jeanty's hefty workload.
