Fantasy Impact: Terrible news for Tampa Bay as Godwin was already questionable heading into Sunday night’s game. Godwin tore his ACL late last season and made it back for Week 1, but was injured on his third reception of the night. Look for Tampa Bay to provide an update on Godwin’s status soon.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson was on the field for nine offensive snaps prior to the injury, which was good for fifth most on the team at the half. Robinson was seen on the sideline with a sleeve on his right leg. The Giants should provide an update on Robinson’s injury soon.
Mac Jones: X-rays negative on injured back
Mac Jones’ X-rays were negative on his injured back. He is scheduled to be further evaluated when the team returns to Foxborough, per Tom Pelissero. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This is at least some positive news for New England after their offense struggled to get anything going Sunday. If Jones is forced to miss practice or game time, it is going to impact all of the skill position players on the roster. Brian Hoyer would fill in for Jones if the injury requires Jones to miss the Patriots’ next game at Pittsburgh.
T.J. Watt: feared to have suffered torn pec
The Steelers believe that T.J. Watt suffered a torn pec Sunday. He is set to undergo scans Monday to confirm the diagnosis. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Terrible news for the Steelers and T.J. Watt if the scans confirm that it is a torn pec. If it is indeed torn, he is guaranteed to miss time and leave a massive void in the Steelers’ pass rush. The amount of time Watt could miss will be determined tomorrow and the grade of the pec tear.
