Bengals coach Zac Taylor said "we'll see" when asked about Orlando Brown Jr. playing on Sunday against the Chargers. (Source: Kelsey Conway on Twitter)

Amari Cooper is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. (Source: Alaina Getzenberg on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Cooper had said this week that he expects to play. It is unclear if he'll be on any limitations, but getting him back in any capacity would be big for Buffalo in a crucial matchup against Kansas City.

Dalton Kincaid has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. (Source: Alaina Getzenberg on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Kincaid had seemed like a long shot to be able to play after leaving last week's game early. Dawson Knox should see more snaps and is in the streaming conversation.

49ers GM John Lynch said "we're getting closer" to having Dre Greenlaw coming back. (Source: Matt Barrows on Twitter)

The Commanders' D/ST logged two sacks and no turnovers while allowing 26 points in Thursday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: Washington's defense was doing a good job in the first half, but in the second half, they imploded and allowed Philadelphia to score multiple long touchdowns. They failed to make any big plays to reverse the course of the game, and given that they're one of the worst units in football, fantasy managers should avoid starting them outside of perfect matchups moving forward.

Zane Gonzalez made his lone field goal attempt and converted his one extra point attempt in Thursday's 26-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: Gonzalez saw just two attempts over the course of the night on Thursday, and although he made both of them, that didn't lead to much for fantasy purposes. He should bounce back whenever Washington's offense picks it up in the coming weeks.

Zach Ertz caught six passes for 47 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 26-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: The Commanders suffered a loss to their divisional rivals on Thursday, but Ertz was still able to put up a solid performance against his former team. He caught six passes over the course of the night, one of which he was able to get into the end zone on. Any fantasy managers who started him should be satisfied with the point total that he put up in most league formats.
