Slowik was fired after a disappointing 2024 season with the Texans offense. He was a hot head coaching candidate after helping C.J. Stroud to a formidable rookie season in 2023, but nearly all offensive numbers faltered in Stroud’s second season. The Texans chose to move on, and now Slowik joins the Dolphins as passing game coordinator. The 37-year-old will have a chance to work with Tua Tagovailoa to improve Miami’s passing game.

Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon is rotating in behind Wright, confirming Wright is the team’s current starter. That said, the Dolphins could still split the backfield workload almost evenly. We won’t know what the plan is until the game is underway. For now, Wright should be viewed as the slightly safer FLEX, though both running backs could get bottled up by the Vikings’ defense today.

He was initially questionable before being downgraded to out. Free agent addition Greenard just made his Eagles debut in Week 3 after missing Weeks 1 and 2 with an oblique issue.

Raridon was questionable coming into this game with a thigh injury. He caught one of two targets for 12 yards before leaving this game with another injury.

With Terry McLaurin out, Williams fully took over as the team’s No. 2 receiver. His eight targets were good for a 22 percent target share and he led the Commanders in routes. The bad news is that the offense struggled after Marcus Mariota went down with a knee injury. That happened in the first quarter, so Washington had a third-string quarterback under center for the majority of this game. If the role sticks, Williams could be a viable FLEX play once Jayden Daniels returns. The Commanders’ injury report will be one to watch heading into Week 5.

Woods hurt his shoulder making a tackle in the fourth quarter and immediately grabbed at his arm in clear pain. He was quickly listed as questionable, which is not a good sign for his potential return.

Diggs was the Commanders’ No. 1 receiver with Terry McLaurin out. That was good for a 24 percent target share and a handful of PPR points, but not much else. Marcus Mariota went down on the second drive and Athan Kaliakmanis took his place for the remainder of the game. Kaliakmanis made a few big throws but the offense struggled on the whole. Diggs could be in line for a big boost in fantasy production if Jayden Daniels is back next week, but McLaurin could just as easily return and take back his WR1 role. Diggs’ Week 5 fantasy outlook could swing wildly depending on how those injuries shake out this week.

Andrews broke the news while reporting from the sideline of the Rams’ Week 4 game against the Eagles. Signs have been pointing to this type of injury for a while now, with the Rams referring to Nacua’s nagging injury as both a hip and groin issue. Just over two minutes remain in the third quarter, and Nacua has only come off the field for a few plays thus far. It appears as though the team has handled the injury well, though one imagines re-injury risk is still a factor. That said, he is a WR1 whenever he is active.

Burks only catch of the day came on a double-move that saw him burn Sauce Gardner for a massive touchdown, though he may have simply been working back to the quarterback before realizing the throw was going over his head. Either way, Burks turned on the jets, tracked down the ball, and ran in the Commanders’ only touchdown of the day. Burks isn’t on the fantasy radar despite the long catch, but it’s nice to see him carving out a role in Washington.

The Broncos head into Week 4 as one of the healthiest teams in the league. They will be without Tillman and Onyedim, however. Denver’s defense will look to slow down the red-hot Niners offense.

Okonkwo was back in action today after missing the last two games with a hamstring issue. With Marcus Mariota exiting this game early because of an injury, the passing attack was out of whack from the jump. There wasn’t much of a chance to reinstall Okonkwo into the mix this week. The hope is that he will earn more work with Jayden Daniels potentially back in the lineup in Week 5, but fantasy managers will need to see it to believe it with Okonkwo.
