  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Giants' Russell Wilson: Abysmal showing against Chiefs

    Wilson completed 18 of 32 passes for 160 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs. He added five rushes for 27 yards.

    Wilson was unable to replicate his heroics from Week 2, averaging only 5.0 yards per attempt while also throwing an interception deep in Chiefs territory late in the second quarter. That halted the Giants' offensive momentum and set the tone for an abysmal overall showing. Wilson has struggled to move the offense in two of three games this season and will draw another tough assignment in Week 4 against the Chargers.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Held to 26 yards on SNF

    Kelce brought in four of seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Kelce took a back seat to Kansas City's starting trio of receivers on Sunday Night Football, all three of which finished with more yards than the star tight end. Backup tight end Noah Gray even got in on the action, finishing with a season high three catches in the win. Kelce would gladly trade a personal down game for the team's first win, but fantasy managers have to feel underwhelmed with Sunday's results. Kelce will look to be more involved in a potentially higher-scoring affair against the Ravens next Sunday.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Makes most of one catch

    Goedert recorded one reception on two targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.

    Goedert returned from a one-game absence and was the odd-man out on a strong offensive day for the Eagles. He did manage to make his lone reception of the day count by hauling in a 33-yard touchdown early in the third quarter as he split the Rams' defense down the middle of the field. Though it's come in very different ways, Goedert has had a productive start to the season after tallying seven catches in Week 1.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Draws key penalty in SNF win

    Brown finished with four receptions on six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Brown's monster usage in Week 1 (16 targets) appears to have been an anomaly after the wideout averaged 5.5 targets in the two games since. The speedy receiver did draw a crucial pass interference flag on a deep shot in the waning moments of the first half that allowed the Chiefs to sneak in a field goal before the break. Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) remained out, with the former having a chance to return against the Ravens next Sunday. Brown will continue filling in as one of Patrick Mahomes' top options until both projected starters have returned to action.

  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Manages Carolina to win

    Young completed 16 of 24 passes for 121 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons. He added two rushes for eight yards and a touchdown.

    The Panthers were gifted several short fields early in Sunday's win and also had a pick-six to begin the second half. That limited what was required of Young, as he was able to primarily work in short areas of the field and focus on taking care of the ball. Young did manage to salvage some fantasy value with a four-yard scramble into the end zone midway through the first quarter, but he has now thrown for 155 or fewer yards with one or fewer total touchdowns in two of three games to begin the campaign.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Leading receiver on six targets

    Harrison brought in three of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the 49ers.

    Harrison wound up leading Arizona with 44 receiving yards in a game during which the team generated just 159 yards of offense through the air. The sophomore receiver suffered an uncharacteristic drop on a wide-open deep shot from Kyler Murray that could have resulted in a lengthy touchdown. Harrison continues to flash potential, only to disappear at times like he did against Carolina last week (2-27-0). The high-pedigree receiver should be treated as a boom-or-bust play against the Seahawks on Thursday.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Struggles in primetime

    Nabers recorded two receptions on seven targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    The Giants were unable to replicate their offensive success from Week 2, which led to a very disappointing showing for Nabers. Many of his seven targets came in highly contested situations on passes that were nearly uncatchable, though he was finally schemed two short receptions in the fourth quarter. Nabers' talent isn't in question, but performances like this will happen occasionally given the current state of the Giants' offense. Nabers did leave the game briefly in the second half after breaking up a potential interception, but he returned shortly afterward and finished the game.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Makes lone FGA

    Gano (groin) made his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Gano was sidelined with a groin injury for the majority of the team's contest on Sunday, but he was able to tough it out for one kick in the fourth quarter. The kicker connected on a 25-yard field goal, narrowing the deficit to 16-9 with 10:12 left in the game. It's unclear what Gano's status moving forward is, but through three weeks, the kicker has gone 6-for-6 on field-goal tries and 4-for-4 on PATs.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Inconsistency continues in Week 3

    Butker went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Butker was once again a little off his game in Week 3, missing a 40-yard field goal wide right in the second quarter. Additionally, he pushed an extra-point attempt wide left in the fourth quarter. Outside of the misses, Butker made field goals from 54, 48 and 24 yards, as well as an additional PAT in the contest. On the year, the kicker has gone 7-for-9 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while also making three of five extra-point tries over three games.

  • Isiah Pacheco RB | DET

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Leads backfield with 45 yards

    Pacheco took 10 carries for 45 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Pacheco was far more efficient with his 10 carries in Sunday's win compared to the paltry 22 rushing yards he managed in Week 2. The positive news ends there, as backup Kareem Hunt also received 10 carries while punching in Kansas City's only rushing touchdown on the evening. It appears a timeshare has developed in the Chiefs' backfield, limiting Pacheco to a flex option at best against the Ravens next Sunday.
