Winters (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Winters sustained a shoulder injury late in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In Winters' absence, Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham are the top candidates to handle the lion's share of the workload at inside linebacker versus Washington.

Hubbard rushed 12 times for 53 yards and brought in both targets for 11 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Hubbard once again led the ground attack, outpacing backfield mate Jonathon Brooks (groin), who exited the game in the fourth quarter, by seven carries. Hubbard's most fantasy-friendly contribution of the afternoon came as a receiver, however, as he was on the other end of Bryce Young's first touchdown pass of the afternoon early in the first quarter. Hubbard has logged just 22 total carries over his first two games, but he's turned those into 102 yards and a touchdown and will be due for a larger workload Week 3 on the road against the Browns if Brooks is sidelined.

Bako-Bewele (knee) likely suffered a long-term injury in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Bako-Bewele was carted off the field with a knee injury during the first quarter of Sunday's game. The starting right tackle appears set to miss extended time, although further information should be made available in coming days.

Doubs caught three of four targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Doubs accounted for 96 of Drake Maye's 202 passing yards while no teammate exceeded 40 receiving yards in the absence of A.J. Brown (ankle). Most of Doubs' production came on a 63-yard catch in the third quarter, which set up a field goal. This was a nice bounce-back performance from the offseason free-agent signing after Doubs finished without a catch in his Patriots debut. Maye has a 1:4 TD:INT, so New England's passing game has been sputtering ahead of a Week 3 trip to Jacksonville.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Reed has movement in all of his extremities after he suffered a neck injury during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win at the Jets, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Reed remained on the turf after taking a hit at the end of a four-yard catch on the Packers' second offensive play. He was placed on a backboard before being carted off the field, after which he was quickly ruled out. LaFleur noted that Reed will remain in the New York area overnight for further evaluation. The likes of Skyy Moore, Bo Melton (stinger) and J. Michael Sturdivant will benefit behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden for as long as Reed is sidelined.

London brought in four of five targets for 51 yards and rushed once for minus-2 yards in the Falcons' 34-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

London's reception, receiving yardage and target totals, modest as they were, all led the Falcons on an afternoon where Cooper Rush and Jack Strand combined to throw for 145 yards and toss three interceptions. Sunday's production pushed London's early-season line to 6-80-0 on 10 targets, but those numbers could be due for a nice boost as soon as Thursday's Week 3 road matchup against the Packers if either Michael Penix (knee) or Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) is deemed available for that contest.

Jefferson caught three of six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

Neither team reached 200 passing yards on a wet and windy day at Soldier Field, and Jefferson's 55 yards actually led all pass catchers. It was a disappointing follow-up to his two-TD performance in the Vikings' opener, but the conditions made big numbers impossible. Jefferson will look to bounce back in what should be much better weather during a Week 3 road trip to Tampa Bay.

Stukes (head) is being evaluated for a potential concussion after exiting Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Stukes exited the first half of Sunday's contest with a head injury. The starting free safety will be evaluated by the Raiders' training staff and an independent neurologist to determine the severity of the injury and determine whether he will be able to return to the contest. Stukes logged three tackles before exiting.

Higgins secured five of 10 targets for 95 yards in the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Higgins' receiving yardage and target totals paced the Bengals on the afternoon, and he finished second only to Ja'Marr Chase in receiving yards. The talented wide receiver duo accounted for 12 of Joe Burrow's 20 completions against a tough Texans defense, and Higgins now is averaging an elite 19.3 yards per reception on his first eight catches of the 2026 season. The veteran speedster will aim to continue thriving downfield in a Week 3 road matchup against the Steelers next Sunday.

Wilson caught five of seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers.

Wilson broke a 7-7 tie with a five-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, but the Jets ultimately failed to close the game out after taking a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. Adonai Mitchell led the Jets with 12 targets and tied Breece Hall for the team receiving yards lead at 63. Wilson figures to operate as the team's top pass catcher most weeks, as he did in the season-opening win over the Titans, and the 2022 first-round pick has accounted for Geno Smith's lone touchdown pass through two games. Up next for Wilson and the Jets is a juicy Week 3 matchup against the struggling Lions secondary.
