8:00 p.m. ET - That does it for another week. Thanks for joining us. We'll be here again next week, recapping all the fantasy news you need to know from around the league. 

7:58 p.m. ET - Marshawn Lynch scores on a six-yard run, ending the game. Lynch finishes with 128 total yards, a touchdown on the ground and another through the air. 

7:55 p.m. ET - Russell Wilson is eating up yardage with his legs on this drive. The Broncos don't have an answer.

7:48 p.m. ET - Seahawks have the ball first in overtime. 

7:39 p.m. ET - Manning delivers. He fires a laser to Jacob Tamme and then hooks up with Demaryius Thomas for a two-point convert. Tie game, so there are more fantasy points to be scored in this one. 

7:35 p.m. ET - One last shot for Manning, the Thomases, Ball and company to produce some fantasy value. 

7:22 p.m. ET - Peyton Manning throws an interception deep in the Seahawks' zone, likely ending the Broncos' comeback. Manning's throws haven't been particularly accurate today. He's 28-of-43 for 223 yards with a touchdown and a pick late in the fourth quarter. There's still time for one more drive, though.

7:14 p.m. ET - DeAngelo Williams is inactive for the Sunday night game. Start Jonathan Stewart if you can. The Steelers run defense is porous. 

7:00 p.m. ET - Julius Thomas catches a touchdown. It's his fifth in three games this season. Mega-stud. 

6:59 p.m. ET - Russell Wilson throws an interception and suddenly Peyton Manning and the Broncos have a little life. Manning has been very disappointing today, but no one should be surprised. At home, the Seahawks defense routinely sucks all life out of opposing offenses.

6:44 p.m. ET - It took a while for the Cardinals to get the ball into Larry Fitzgerald's hands, but the veteran finally started making some plays in the fourth quarter. His success was short-lived, however, as he fumbled the ball away on a drive that could have iced the game for the Cardinals. 

6:11 p.m. ET - John Brown catches another touchdown. Is it possible he's the best fantasy receiver to own on a team that has Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd on its roster?

6:05 p.m. ET - Brian Hartline "vultures" a touchdown from Lamar Miller on a one-yard reception. 

5:53 p.m. ET - John Brown catches a deep touchdown from Drew Stanton. The rookie keeps producing. He must be owned in all leagues and he's approaching every-week starter status. Consider him a WR4 for now. 

5:48 p.m. ET - Marshawn Lynch lines up as a wide receiver and catches a slant for a touchdown. It's not a Super Bowl-level blowout, but the Seahawks have a comfortable 17-3 lead over the Broncos. 

5:35 p.m. ET - Travis Kelce continues building steam toward a breakout season. He dives for the pylon on a 20-yard catch and run touchdown - the first of his career. 

5:23 p.m. ET - Finally, we have a touchdown in Broncos-Seahawks. Unfortunately, it's scored by a player who is a fantasy non-factor: Ricardo Lockette. At least Russell Wilson gets some points, too. 

5:17 p.m. ET - Knile Davis rips off a 21-yard touchdown run, breaking tackles on his way downfield. He's a must-start as long as Jamaal Charles is sidelined.

5:14 p.m. ET - Demaryius Thomas is playing through a foot issue. He seems to be in pain, but he returned to the field after getting checked out by team doctors. 

5:03 p.m. ET - Carlos Hyde vultures a touchdown from Frank Gore. Hyde is slowly chipping away at Gore's fantasy value this season. When "The Inconvenient Truth's" age finally catches up to him, Hyde could be an RB1 in fantasy.

4:57 p.m. ET - Not much scoring happening in the late afternoon games. Defenses holding tough. 

4:43 p.m. ET - Montee Ball is running hot a series after losing a fumble. No sign of C.J. Anderson yet. 

4:33 p.m. ET - The Broncos stand tall and hold Marshawn Lynch out of the end zone on three straight red-zone carries. 

4:32 p.m. ET - Could it be C.J. Anderson time in Denver? Montee Ball just lost a fumble. John Fox could be losing patience with his starting running back. 

4:25 p.m. ET - Colin Kaepernick and Michael Crabtree connect on an early touchdown. With Crabtree finally healthy, the pair is really starting to develop some chemistry. 

4:17 p.m. ET - Some of the big disappointments from the early games include Donald Brown (31 carries for just 62 yards), Eddie Lacy (11 carries for 36 yards), LeSean McCoy (20 carries for 22 yards), Andre Johnson (four catches for 24 yards) and Aaron Rodgers (162 yards passing and one touchdown).

4:10 p.m. ET - Nick Foles connects with Jeremy Maclin for his third touchdown pass of the afternoon. Foles has taken a beating but remained strong in the pocket.

4:00 p.m. ET - With the early games ending, let's take a look at some of the day's big performers. Andrew Luck and Kirk Cousins are the top-scoring quarterbacks in standard fantasy leagues. Rashad Jennings and Ahmad Bradshaw are the top running backs. Jordan Matthews and Victor Cruz lead all wide receivers. Coby Fleener is the top tight end. Many fantasy studs turned in mediocre performances. 

3:58 p.m. ET - Foles is back in the game. 

3:56 p.m. ET - Nick Foles is laid out by a defender after throwing an apparent interception. He looks to be in serious pain.

3:47 p.m. ET - The Lions defense really stepped up against the Packers offense. Aaron Rodgers finishes with 162 yards and one touchdown. Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb all have very disappointing afternoons. 

3:45 p.m. ET - Blake Bortles hooks up with fellow rookie Allen Hurns for his first career touchdown pass. Could the pair be a fantasy force of the future?

3:41 p.m. ET - After scoring three touchdowns in Week 2, Antonio Gates has just one catch for eight yards late in the fourth quarter. 

3:37 p.m. ET - Trent Richardson is stuffed at the goal line. He had a good run in the first half, but he's back to being the same old Trent. He's the opposite of dynamic. 

3:30 p.m. ET - DeSean Jackson makes his former teammates pay by scoring an 81-yard touchdown.

3:21 p.m. ET - Reggie Bush rips off a long touchdown run. He's having a good day, but not all Lions are in the same boat. Matthew Stafford has passed for no touchdowns and two interceptions.

3:18 p.m. ET - Drew Brees connects with Marques Colston on a long touchdown pass. Many owners expected a very big day for Brees and the Saints against the Vikings. It hasn't been a bonanza of fantasy points, but Brees is now over 250 yards passing with two touchdowns. 

3:11 p.m. ET - Another Gronk spike? Nope. Gronk touchdown drop. 

3:04 p.m. ET - T.Y. Hilton's afternoon is over due to an ankle injury. 

3:01 p.m. ET - Giovani Bernard scores a goal-line touchdown. Any doubts about whether the Bengals would use him in short-yardage situations this season have been alleviated. Bernard is a locked-in RB1. 

2:58 p.m. ET - Jamaal Charles is officially inactive. Roll with Knile Davis if you have him.

2:55 p.m. ET - Lorenzo Taliaferro scores a one-yard touchdown. By all appearances, he's seized the Ravens' starting running back job. Taliaferro has 14 carries to Justin Forsett's six.

2:50 p.m. ET - Eddie Royal catches his second touchdown of the afternoon. Remember when he caught a bunch of touchdowns in the early part of last season? He's one of the NFL's streakiest players. Don't overvalue him in fantasy. 

2:49 p.m. ET - The Lions have sacked Aaron Rodgers twice and hit him four additional times on 18 dropbacks. He's having an uncharacteristically poor day in both fantasy and real-life terms. 

2:43 p.m. ET - Blake Bortles is in the game for the Jaguars. Maybe his presence will help make Toby Gerhart a viable fantasy starter. Maybe nothing will, though.

2:40 p.m. ET - Inactives for the late afternoon games are coming in. Carson Palmer and Vernon Davis are both inactive. 

2:31 p.m. ET - With most games at halftime, let's check in on the day's best performers so far. Andrew Luck leads all quarterbacks with 23.64 fantasy points. He's thrown three touchdowns. Jordan Matthews leads all wideouts with 16.20 fantasy points. Rashad Jennings is the top running back with 14.80 fantasy points. Coby Fleener leads all tight ends with 10.90 fantasy points.

2:29 p.m. ET - Eagles rookie Jordan Matthews scores his second touchdown of the day. Expect him to be a very popular waiver wire pickup this week. 

2:19 p.m. ET - Matt Cassel's afternoon is over due to a foot injury. The Teddy Bridgewater era has begun. 

2:16 p.m. ET - The Colts clearly favor Ahmad Bradshaw over Trent Richardson in goal-line situations. 

2:10 p.m. ET - Pitta leaves on a stretcher. It looked like a serious injury. Owen Daniels will take over at tight end for the Ravens. 

2:06 p.m. ET - Dennis Pitta suffers a non-contact injury. The cart is out. 

2:04 p.m. ET - Alfred Morris is cleared to return to the game. Another injury bullet dodged. 

2:03 p.m. ET - Gronk spike! He still doesn't look fully healthy, but he's carrying his fantasy owners by scoring regular touchdowns. 

2:02 p.m. ET - Victor Cruz scores his first touchdown in 357 days. 

2:01 p.m. ET - LeSean McCoy has reportedly been cleared to return to the game. Huge sigh of relief. 

1:59 p.m. ET - Lorenzo Taliaferro might be taking over as the Ravens' starting running back. With Bernard Piece out hurt, Taliaferro has 10 carries for 79 yards in the first half. He looks excellent. 

1:57 p.m. ET - The injury bug continues to bite fantasy stars. Now Alfred Morris is down on the field. 

1:47 p.m. ET - Darren Sproles fumbles the ball away. He's in line for a big bump in carries if LeSean McCoy can't return to the field. 

1:42 p.m. ET - McCoy is headed to the locker room. Doctors had to hide his helmet from him to keep him from going back on the field. We'll keep you updated on his status.

1:39 p.m. ET - It looks like McCoy took a helmet-to-helmet hit. He jogs off the field. 

1:37 p.m. ET - LeSean McCoy is down on the field injured. Deep breaths. It's hard to tell what happened upon replay.

1:32 p.m. ET - Andy Dalton receiving touchdown! Yes, you read that right. Mohamed Sanu threw it on a trick play.

1:29 p.m. ET - And there's Cousins' second touchdown pass of the afternoon.

1:28 p.m. ET - Kirk Cousins looks really good early. He's 11-of-12 for 120 yards and a touchdown late in the first quarter. 

1:25 p.m. ET - Trent Richardson finally rips off a long run for the Colts, but he then gives way to Ahmad Bradshaw who scores a touchdown on a short reception.

1:23 p.m. ET - Rueben Randle is emerging as Eli Manning's favorite target. He has four catches on the Giants' first two drives. 

1:17 p.m. ET - With Bernard Pierce inactive, Justin Forsett and Lorenzo Taliaferro are rotating at running back for the Ravens. 

1:12 p.m. ET - Khiry Robinson outcarries Pierre Thomas three to two on the Saints' first drive, but it's Thomas who scores the goal-line touchdown. With Mark Ingram injured, both backs figure to see plenty of touches. 

1:08 p.m. ET - Danny Woodhead grabs his ankle after an early run. With Ryan Mathews already injured, Donald Brown could see a huge workload if Woodhead is forced out of the game. 

12:59 p.m. ET - Here we go!

12:39 p.m. ET - It's reportedly very windy in Buffalo for Bills-Chargers. Both passing games could suffer. Look for a lot of carries for running backs Fred Jackson, C.J. Spiller, Danny Woodhead and Donald Brown. All four are startable this week.

12:30 p.m. ET - For all last-minute lineup decisions, consult our final rankings. They were updated Sunday morning. 

12:17 p.m. ET - There's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding Jamaal Charles, who plays in the late afternoon game. The latest is that Charles is not expected to play, making Knile Davis a strong starting option.

12:10 p.m. ET - Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are both expected to play Monday night despite lingering lower-body injuries. They are safe to leave in your lineup. 

12:02 p.m. ET - We're only covering key fantasy inactives here. If you need a complete list of who's in and who's out, we've got that covered here. 

12:01 p.m. ET - More inactives: Aaron Dobson, Maurice Jones-Drew.

11:55 a.m. ET - Wes Welker will make his 2014 debut, but he's expected to play only a minor role for the Broncos. It's best to leave him on your bench this week. 

11:48 a.m. ET - Players who are active Sunday: A.J. Green, DeSean Jackson, Jordan Cameron, Keenan Allen, Shane Vereen.

11:47 a.m. ET - Bernard Pierce is inactive. Justin Forsett should be the primary tailback in the Ravens' rushing attack, but don't count out rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro getting a significant piece of the pie. Stash Taliaferro on your bench if you have a spot for him.

11:46 a.m. ET - Arian Foster is inactive. His backup, Alfred Blue, is unowned in many fantasy leagues. Scoop him up if you can. Blue is a decent fantasy option Sunday, but it's unclear how he'll split carries with Jonathan Grimes.

11:45 a.m. ET - We're off an running on another busy Sunday. We'll kick things off with all the latest inactives.
