Fairbairn converted on 3-for-3 field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 point-after tries in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys.

Despite the loss, the Texans offense had it going in Week 4, resulting in Fairbairn finishing with his best performance of the 2026 campaign. His three field goals included a 54-yarder, his second longest kick of the season. With the winless Titans on tap for Week 5, Fairbairn could be in line for another productive showing.

Coker (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Coker thus will miss his first contest of the season due to a quadriceps issue that he picked up last Sunday in Cleveland. He was able to log limited sessions Thursday and Friday, so his absence in Week 4 may be the Panthers exercising caution with a Week 5 bye on tap to ensure he's good to go afterward. With Coker out of the lineup this weekend and Xavier Legette (knee) getting moved to IR on Saturday, Tetairoa McMillan will be Carolina's clear-cut No. 1 pass catcher Sunday, with Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie, David Moore and Ja'seem Reed the options to fill in the other wide receivers spots.

Huntley completed eight of nine passes for 63 yards while adding 16 yards on four carries in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans.

Lamar Jackson was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury on the Raven's final offensive play of the first half, putting Huntley under center for the final two quarters to protect a 24-7 lead. Given the circumstances, the veteran backup wasn't asked to do too much, but he was efficient when called upon to air it out and didn't commit any turnovers. Jackson was seen in a walking boot after the game, but per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, coach Jesse Minter isn't overly concerned about the issue and might have considered putting him back in had the score been closer. If Jackson isn't cleared to suit up in Week 5, Huntley will be running the offense on the road in Atlanta.

Doubs secured six of nine targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots' 29-26 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Doubs put together a performance befitting his current role as No. 1 receiver in the ongoing absence of A.J. Brown (ankle, IR), recording his first two touchdowns as a member of the Patriots while finishing as the team leader in receptions and targets with figures that also qualified as season highs. Doubs struck from 14 and two yards out in the first and third quarter, respectively, on his pair of scoring grabs, and after a blanking in Week 1 against Seattle, he's bounced back with a 12-203-2 line on 20 targets. Doubs will next try to make inroads against a tough Raiders defense at home in Week 5.

Moss (ribs) won't return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

After Patrick Surtain (ankle) exited the contest, Moss followed suit. Now, with both Surtain and Moss officially ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's meeting with the 49ers, Kris Abrams-Draine and Jahdae Barron should see more work for the rest of Week 4.

Flowers caught eight of 10 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans.

The fourth-year wideout didn't appear hampered by the minor hamstring issue he's been playing through, as he led the Ravens in catches, targets and receiving yards while connecting with Lamar Jackson (ankle) for a 19-yard score early in the second quarter. Jackson's day was done at halftime and he was seen in a walking boot after the game, but per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, coach Jesse Minter suggested the QB might have tried playing in the second half if it seemed necessary to preserve the win. If Tyler Huntley is under center in Week 5 against the Falcons instead of Jackson, it could impact Flowers' ability to produce big numbers again. In three games, Flowers has delivered an 18-352-2 line on just 22 targets.

Bryant (leg) was carted off the field in the third quarter of Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Bryant suffered a right leg injury after a catch and run of 30 yards with 2:47 left in the third quarter. The wide receiver's day is almost certainly done, and it's possible that he will be forced to miss action moving forward. More information on his status will likely be provided in the near future, and in the meantime, Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton will continue to operate as the top two wideouts for Denver.

Henderson rushed 14 times for 42 yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Patriots' 29-26 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Henderson struggled to get anything going against an improved Bills run defense, averaging an even 3.0 yards per carry. The second-year pro logged one more carry than backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson but finished with five fewer rushing yards, and through three games, Henderson is averaging a pedestrian 3.7 yards per tote while only adding one catch for six yards. The 2025 second-round pick's next opportunity for his first breakout effort of 2026 comes in a Week 5 home matchup against a vastly improved Raiders team.

Surtain (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against San Francisco, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Surtain suffered a non-contact injury in the first half and needed assistance off the field. He was initially listed as questionable to return, though most had assumed at that point he wouldn't be back on the field again in Week 4. With Riley Moss (ribs) also ruled out, Kris Abrams-Draine and Jahdae Barron will need to step up the rest of the way.

Stevenson rushed 13 times for 47 yards and a touchdown while bringing in three of five targets for 27 yards in the Patriots' 29-26 win over the Bills on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

Stevenson took one less carry than TreVeyon Henderson but outgained his backfield mate by five yards, and the former was also the only one of the two to get into the end zone. Stevenson scored his rush TD, his first of the season, from one yard out in the second quarter, and his two-point conversion catch extended New England's lead to three following Efton Chism's one-handed go-ahead touchdown grab with 1:50 remaining. Stevenson should remain in a near-even timeshare with Henderson in a Week 5 home matchup against the Raiders next Sunday.
