Berry intentionally sat out 2019 despite receiving interest from teams this past year in an attempt to get his body and mind ready for the 2020 NFL season. The 3x All-Pro safety will only be 31 next year but has played just three games since the 2016 season ended. Berry will need to prove he’s fully healthy to sign a big contract in free agency this offseason. There’s a chance Berry can return starting-level play, but signing Berry would be a roll of the dice.

Shakir served as Josh Allen’s safety blanket for much of the first half, but he was quiet for much of the second half. Most of his production came on a 51-yard catch-and-run, where he broke a few tackles and got the Bills into the red zone. On another catch-and-run opportunity, he had the ball punched out by two Patriots defenders for a crucial fumble. Shakir and Allen were also not on the same page on a key third-down pass that led to a punt. The Bills are going to need more from Shakir if DJ Moore (Shoulder) misses any time, but Shakir did play the second-most snaps of any receiver and ran the most routes, so his role is still there.

Stafford put the Rams behind the eight ball with a pair of first half interceptions but was better after the break as the Rams slowly erased a 20-10 deficit. Not that he was amazing, but with the Eagles finishing an inconceivable 0-12 on third down, Stafford needed to make just enough plays, and that’s what he did despite leaving some meat on the bone. It was forgivable on a rainy day in Philly, though Stafford now has at least one interception in all four of his starts. In fact, he has as many scores (six) as picks. Hopefully that trend reverses with Puka Nacua back in the lineup, though the schedule is not lightening up with the Rams hosting the Bills for Monday Night Football in Week 5. That should nevertheless be a fantasy football bonanza.

This news comes from the team’s X account. Rice exited in the first quarter of Sunday’s game and eventually made his way to the locker room after initially refusing to leave the field. CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson reported that Rice was noticeably frustrated on the sideline, which isn’t an encouraging sign as far as his return for this game is concerned.

Jackson, the Vikings’ 2025 first-round pick, has already established himself as a reliable pass protector in less than two full seasons. His absence could be consequential for Kyler Murray. Hopefully, this is a short-term issue.

This was the best game we’ve seen from Coleman in a long time. Not only did he show up in the box score, but two of his catches were unbelievable sideline grabs that showed the type of hands that made him an intriguing draft pick out of Florida State. He played on 46 of the team’s 59 snaps and ran a route on 31 of their 40 dropbacks. With D.J. Moore leaving this game with a shoulder injury, Coleman is a priority add on waiver wires before next week’s game against the Rams.

He added two catches for either yards. This game was never more than a one-score game, so it’s pretty shocking that Cook only had 14 touches. The Patriots did a good job containing him early in the game, apart from his touchdown run, but the Bills simply moved away from the running game too quickly. Cook was gaining huge chunk yards in the second half and should have been fed more carries during the game. With the Bills having their second straight mediocre offensive performance, you have to wonder if they will make it a point to lean on Cook more next week against the Rams.

Rodriguez entered the game frequently when the Jaguars entered Bengals territory. He has a hold on short-yardage opportunities while also getting some red zone looks, but Bhayshul Tuten is the clear lead back. Rodriguez was out-snapped 36-to-15 but salvaged his fantasy day with a 25-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. He is a handcuff for fantasy purposes heading into Week 5.

Bucs OC Zac Robinson talked about getting Tucker the ball more earlier this week. Tucker entered this game with zero touches on offense. Though his role was limited, Robinson subbed him in where it counts the most and Tucker punched in a goal line score in the first half. He still doesn’t have much standalone fantasy value, but Tucker reclaiming the goal line role he had last year would be brutal for Bucky Irving’s fantasy outlook. Tucker is, at best, a touchdown-based RB5 for Week 5 versus Dallas.

Getting the start after Case Keenum led the Bears to victory in Week 3 against the Eagles, Bagent successfully managed the run-heavy Bears offense. He was inaccurate for stretches of the game, throwing at least two balls that should have been intercepted by the New York secondary. On the day he was 8 percent over his expected completion rate. Bagent targeted Rom Odunze a team-high nine times. He connected with Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III a handful of times on well-times throws to the middle of the field. Bagent will get another start in Week 5 against the Packers with Caleb Williams sidelined. He’ll have some superflex appeal in that matchup.

Henry always seems to produce against the Bills, so this was nothing new. The veteran played on 46 of the team’s 70 snaps and ran a route on 28 of their 43 dropbacks, the second most of any receiving option on the team. He also hauled in an 11-yard catch on 3rd and 10 to ice the game in the fourth quarter. With Eli Raridon (ankle) and Mack Hollins (calf) leaving this game with injuries, Henry could be on the TE1 fringe radar next week against the Raiders.
