Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks after he was diagnosed with a right high-ankle sprain following an MRI on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Henderson sustained the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Raiders and was unable to return. Schefter notes that Henderson won't need surgery to address the injury, so the running back could be able to avoid a stint on injured reserve and the automatic four-game absence that comes with it. Even so, Henderson still looks poised to be sidelined for at least a couple of contests, which will clear the way for Rhamondre Stevenson to take on a heightened role out of the backfield. Corey Kiner will also be in line for an enhanced role as the top change-of-pace option behind Stevenson while Henderson is out of the mix.

Kincaid brought in one of two targets for seven yards and recorded a two-point conversion catch in the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday night.

Kincaid's quiet stretch after a stellar first two games of the season continued Monday in a game where Josh Allen recorded only 12 completions. However, the fourth-year tight end made one of the two times he touched the ball count, as he recorded a two-point conversion catch following Josh Allen's one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to give the Bills a seven-point lead at the time. Kincaid has a modest 4-52-0 line over the last three games outside of the two-pointer, however, so he'll be looking for a boost in opportunity during a Week 6 road matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.

Shakir brought in all three targets for 80 yards in the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday night.

On a night when Josh Allen completed just 12 passes, Shakir led the Bills in receiving yards with a figure that marked his second straight 80-yard-plus effort. However, Shakir needed overtime to get there, as he recorded a game-long 57-yard catch and run during Buffalo's first drive of the extra period. Shakir otherwise didn't seem much benefit from the absences of DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer due to shoulder injuries, but he is now averaging an impressive 14.2 yards per catch heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Raiders.

Higbee brought in five of six targets for 83 yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

Higbee finished a distant second in receiving yards to Puka Nacua for the Rams on the night, but the figure was a season high for the veteran tight end. After a forgettable two-game stretch to open the season, Higbee has taken the lead Los Angeles' crowded tight-end room over the last three games by posting an 18-212-1 line on 23 targets. Higbee should have a good chance of retaining a solid complementary role in a Week 6 home divisional clash against the suspect Cardinals defense on Sunday.

Corum rushed five times for 19 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 53 yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

Corum was 11 carries behind Kyren Williams, but the former managed to record his first rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run early in the second half. Corum also posted a season high in receiving yards with a big boost from a team-high 34-yard catch, making it a serviceable fantasy night overall. Corum is likely to continue in a complementary role during a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Adams brought in five of seven targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

Matthew Stafford showered unprecedented attention on Puka Nacua in the form of 24 targets, but Adams still put together a highly useful fantasy performance via his pair of touchdown grabs. Adams went in from four and five yards out in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. Adams' catch and receiving yardage totals were all his third highest of the campaign, and the veteran wideout will next take aim at the Cardinals defense in a Week 6 divisional home matchup on Sunday.

Williams rushed 16 times for 49 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of eight targets for 27 yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

Williams operated as the clear lead back while outpacing Blake Corum by 11 carries, three receptions and four targets, but the former found running room at a premium against a Bills defense that's been surprisingly stout up front. Williams was able to add his fourth rushing touchdown on a dramatic one-yard run with five seconds remaining in regulation to help force overtime, and he's now recorded at least six catches in three consecutive games. Williams should remain in a clear lead role when the Rams host the Cardinals in an NFC West matchup Sunday.

Stafford completed 40 of 54 passes for 383 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

Stafford's stellar final line underscores he did everything within his power to lead the Rams to victory, as the reigning MVP finished with his second-highest passing yardage total of the season and third 300-yard effort of the campaign. The night also marked Stafford's third multi-TD tally over the first five games, with his scoring strikes going to Davante Adams (four and five yards) and Puka Nacua (two yards). Nacua also was on the receiving end of a whopping 17 of Stafford's completions and the intended target on 24 of his pass attempts, but all of those efforts went for naught thanks to the Bills' block of a Harrison Mevis 48-yard field-goal attempt in overtime that would have sealed the victory for Los Angeles. Stafford and the Rams now will look to bounce back in a Week 6 home divisional matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Allen completed 12 of 19 passes for 210 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 10 carries for 121 yards and another score and a two-point conversion pass in the Bills' 37-34 overtime win against the Rams on Monday night.

Facing a Rams defense that had forced plenty of inefficiency through the air from both wide receivers and tight ends and operating without both DJ Moore (shoulder) and Joshua Palmer (shoulder), Allen unsurprisingly recorded a season low in completions. However, the prolific signal-caller more than made up for it on the ground with a season-high rushing yardage total, as well as his eighth rushing touchdown of the season. Allen's most crucial runs outside of his one-yard scoring dive early in the fourth quarter came on Buffalo's final drive in overtime, when he rattled off 19- and 13-yard scrambles to move the ball from the Bills' 41-yard line to the Rams' 27-yard line to set up an eventual game-winning field goal from Tyler Bass. Allen also added his seventh passing score of the season late in the third quarter on a seven-yard strike to Keon Coleman, and the two-time All-Pro will next turn his sights to a Week 6 road matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.

The Commanders reverted Jefferson to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jefferson was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's Week 5 tie with the Giants. He logged three snaps on offense without drawing a target or touch while adding 13 snaps on special teams. Whether Jefferson gets elevated again Week 6 versus San Francisco may depend upon whether Stefon Diggs is able to return from a hamstring injury.
