  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Bulldozes Dallas

    Henry rushed the ball 25 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Cowboys. He added one catch on one target for 23 yards.

    Henry entered the game with only 32 total touches across two games, but the Ravens relied upon him heavily due to maintaining a comfortable lead for the majority of the game. He turned in a vintage performance by tallying a pair of rushes of more than 20 yards, highlighted by a 26-yard touchdown run during which he broke several tackles. He also chipped in a 29-yard carry early in the third quarter that was highlighted by a stiff arm on Caelen Carson. As his usage early on suggests, we shouldn't expect to see Henry earn this type of volume on a weekly basis, but he has proven capable of taking advantage when given the opportunity.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Shut down by Lions in loss

    Conner rushed nine times for 17 yards and secured his only target for eight yards in the Cardinals' 20-13 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Conner posted his lowest rushing output of the season by far, as the Lions' vaunted run defense once again was up to par. Additionally, Conner couldn't make up for any shortcomings on the ground with his work through the air, as Kyler Murray primarily focused on his receivers and tight end Trey McBride (concussion) while trailing for a large swath of the contest. Conner should have a good opportunity to bounce back in Week 4, however, as a Commanders defense that's proven inconsistent thus far comes to town next Sunday.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Held in check in Week 3 loss

    Achane rushed 11 times for 30 yards and secured three of five targets for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 32 yards.

    Achane once again served as the lead back due to Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined, but the speedy back was frequently stymied by Mike Macdonald's aggressive defense. Naturally, it didn't help Achane's cause that the Dolphins opened the game with Skylar Thompson at quarterback and finished with Tim Boyle after the former was knocked out of the contest with a rib injury. Achane will look for better results alongside whomever he shares the backfield with in a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Tops 100 scrimmage yards with TD

    Gibbs rushed 16 times for 83 yards and added a 20-yard receiving touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.

    Gibbs motored into the end zone from 20 yards out after taking a lateral from Amon-Ra St. Brown to give Detroit a 20-7 lead late in the first half. That yardage counted toward Gibbs' receiving total, but he wasn't credited with a target or catch on the play and didn't see a target for the rest of the game, leading to an unconventional stat line with a receiving touchdown but no targets. Gibbs has surpassed 100 scrimmage yards in consecutive games heading into a Week 4 MNF home game against the Seahawks.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Tops century mark and scores TD

    Montgomery rushed 23 times for 105 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.

    Montgomery has a one-yard rushing touchdown in all three of Detroit's games this season, and he checked that accomplishment off on the opening drive against Arizona. He wasn't as successful on a key short-yardage carry in the third quarter, getting stuffed for no gain on fourth-and-1. Nonetheless, Montgomery set new season highs in both carries and rushing yards. Jahmyr Gibbs is the superior pass catcher in Detroit's backfield, but Montgomery has also been reliable in that regard, having caught all eight of his targets this season. Montgomery will try to extend his touchdown streak to seven consecutive regular-season games in Week 4 against the Seahawks.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Disappointing Week 3 showing

    Pollard rushed the ball six times for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers. He added three receptions on four targets for 15 yards.

    Though the limited volume suggests otherwise, Pollard operated as Tennessee's lead back by accounting for nine of the team's RB's 15 total touches, including six of eight rushing attempts. Game script didn't work in his favor, however, as the Titans never led and were down 10 points by the end of the first quarter and never closed that gap. While this was a disappointing performance for Pollard, he should be in for a bounceback spot against a struggling Dolphins team in Week 4.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    49ers' Jordan Mason: Nets 88 yards on 21 touches

    Mason rushed 19 times for 77 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

    Mason failed to extend his touchdown streak to three games in Sunday's loss, but the fill-in starter still managed to provide fantasy managers with solid production despite his team's loss. The 25-year-old has rushed for 324 yards and two touchdowns while filling in for Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) through three games this season. Mason remains a strong fantasy play heading into Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Three TDs in upset victory

    Williams rushed 24 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns while adding 27 yards and a third score on two receptions in Sunday's 27-24 win over San Francisco.

    Williams pounded in his third and fourth rushing touchdowns of the season in the Rams' first win of 2024. Los Angeles' lead back ceded just two touches to backup Ronnie Rivers, further cementing his status as a fantasy stud given the Rams' current lack of superstars on offense. Williams should be an automatic fantasy start ahead of a Week 4 matchup against Chicago.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Stars align in spot-start

    Charbonnet rushed 18 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins. He added three receptions (four targets) for 16 yards as a receiver.

    Charbonnet finally put opportunity and skill together to give fantasy managers a strong stat line against Miami in Week 3. The 23-year-old has contributed three touchdowns through three games for Seattle this season, giving him fantasy value heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Lions next Monday. That said, longtime starter Kenneth Walker (oblique) was spotted in practice this week, so Charbonnet could find himself back in his No. 2 role if the former is able to suit against Detroit.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Inactive again for Week 3

    McClellan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

    McClellan has been inactive for all three games to open the season. He's behind Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and return man Avery Williams on the backfield depth chart in Atlanta.
