Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. The 25-year-old missed Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Rams with a hamstring injury, and Wednesday's lack of activity doesn't spell a good start toward a possible return. Smith, who has caught five of his seven targets for 27 yards in two games this year, was a limited practice participant last Thursday and Friday before being ruled out on Monday. If the former second-round pick is unable to suit up once again for Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans, expect slot man Tyler Boyd to act as the main beneficiary after recording 17 targets in the past two contests.

Buffalo Bills running back Latavius Murray rushed five times for 15 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for six yards in the win over the Washington Commanders. This was the 33-year-old's second touchdown in two weeks, so he looks to be the primary goal line back for Buffalo. That said, Damien Harris has also mixed in, and neither has a solid weekly fantasy floor. If James Cook has to miss any time moving forward, Murray might be the handcuff back to roster. He can be played as an ultra-deep league desperation option, but his value is limited in traditional formats.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught 8-of-12 targets for 111 yards in Week 3's 37-3 romp over the Washington Commanders. It was just another day at the office for the three-time Pro Bowler, who flaunted his route-running expertise all day on Sunday. Diggs was showered with targets, drawing 12 of them against an outclassed secondary while no other Bill saw greater than four on 32 Josh Allen pass attempts. The 29-year-old came loose on a broken play with Allen scrambling out of the pocket for a signature 30-yard catch to set the tone in the first quarter. He also helped pull Buffalo out of their own end zone on another 30-yarder during their first drive of the second half. Diggs later hauled in a 20-yard pass near the end of the third period to surpass the 100-yard threshold for the day. The superstar wideout will rate among Week 4's elite WR1 plays in a probable shootout with the white-hot Miami Dolphins.

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison carried the ball 20 times for 93 yards and added five receptions for 32 yards in the team's Week 3 loss. Mattison handled a hefty workload in this one, but that was with newly acquired Cam Akers being inactive. He still figures to be the lead back moving forward, but fantasy managers should expect a decrease in his value when Akers gets implemented into the Vikings offense. Moving forward, the 25-year-old looks like more of a FLEX option if he does in fact see a reduced role in an already pass-heavy offense.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen turned in a huge game in a 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Thielen caught 11 of his 14 targets for 145 yards and a touchdown in the loss, continuing his excellent form of late. The veteran wideout had a slow game in Week 1 but has popped off for 18 catches, 199 yards, and two touchdowns over his past two contests. Emerging as the No. 1 WR in Carolina, Thielen is looking like any every week, must-start moving forward. Next week, he will take on a Minnesota Vikings secondary that was just torched by the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.
