Johnson finished with six receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Johnson continued his early-season surge with another strong PPR effort despite his team suffering yet another loss. The veteran tight end has been an early surprise in fantasy, racking up 19 receptions on 29 targets for 176 yards and a touchdown through three contests. Johnson has quickly become a must-start option at such a shallow fantasy position heading into next Sunday's road tilt against the Bills.

Mooney secured four of 11 targets for 44 yards in the Falcons' 30-0 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

While it wasn't a very efficient performance, Mooney did draw a team-high number of targets and finished tied for second in receptions while also slotting in as the runner-up in receiving yards. Mooney has multiple receptions in each of his first two games after missing Week 1 due to a shoulder injury, and he'll next face off with the Commanders in a Week 4 home matchup.

Warren recorded three receptions on five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans.

Daniel Jones targeted his pass catchers evenly, as Warren was one of four players with between four and six targets. He had the worst statistical day of his rookie season given the lack of volume, though he did manage long gains of 15 and 17 yards. Warren's weekly production may vary while competing for targets with Michael Pittman, Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, but he has already established himself as one of the more reliable fantasy tight ends.

Carter returned two punts for 15 yards and one kickoff for 27 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers.

Carter was removed from last week's game due to a concussion and missed the first two practices during the preparation for Week 3. He's returned six kickoffs for 145 yards and five punts for 56 yards through three weeks.

Slye went 2-for-4 on field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.

Slye had a mixed bag of a day, connecting on his first two field-goal attempts of the day from 57 and 42 yards. He would then miss his next attempt from 64 yards and then have a 62-yard try blocked before the end of the second quarter. Considering the distance of the two misses, the kicker shouldn't hang his head. Slye has now gone 10-for-12 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making all three of his PATs this season.

Hockenson brought in five of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

The veteran tight end had put together a quiet first two games of the season, mustering just a 4-27-0 line on seven targets. However, Hockenson tied for the team lead in receptions Sunday while checking in second in both receiving yards and targets as he worked with Carson Wentz for the first time. Hockenson also got into the end zone for the first time in 2025 on a five-yard grab late in the third quarter, and he's slated to operate with Wentz as his quarterback again in next Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, since J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is expected to remain sidelined for that contest.

Franklin had two receptions on four targets for eight yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.

Franklin followed up the best performance of his young career against the Colts in Week 2 with an absolute stinker against the Chargers. The 2024 fourth-round selection still finished in a tie for second in team targets with Marvin Mims, but both youngsters paled in comparison to No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton's monster 6-118-1 receiving line Sunday. Franklin still provides some good upside in a soft matchup against the Bengals next Monday if managers can look past his dud in Week 3.

Davis did not play on offense and returned one kickoff for 28 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Green Bay.

Davis was called up from the practice squad for the day, giving the offense a sixth wideout, but he was one of two receivers who didn't get on the field with the offense. He may have been added so that the Browns wouldn't feel the need to expose Jerome Ford or Isaiah Bond on special teams.

McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and a PAT in Sunday's 48-10 loss to the Vikings.

McPherson connected on a 45-yard field goal in the second quarter, which would prove to be his only field-goal attempt in the contest. The kicker has now gone 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and 7-for-7 on PATs over three games this season.

Lutz went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made two PATs in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.

Lutz connected on a 42-yard field goal in the third quarter before making a 26-yarder in the fourth quarter. The kicker has now made multiple fields goals in two of the team's three contests this season. Lutz has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal tries and 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts this year.
