Kirk (hamstring) brought in three of four targets for 25 yards in the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Making his season/team debut, Kirk finished tied for third in receptions on another relatively difficult day for the Texans' passing game. The veteran wideout was projected to serve as an effective short-to-mid-range complement to Nico Collins coming into the season, and now that Kirk is finally healthy, he'll have a chance to start building chemistry with C.J. Stroud on an ongoing basis and likely provide Houston's struggling air attack with a boost. Kirk next takes aim at the Titans' inconsistent defense in a Week 4 home matchup.

Fairbairn went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Fairbairn missed a 52-yard field goal in the first quarter before later connecting on a 27-yard attempt in the second quarter. The kicker has now gone 6-for-7 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making both of his extra-point attempts over three games this season.

Fannin brought in three of four targets for 25 yards in the Browns' 13-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Tanin was tied for third in receptions and targets on the Browns for the afternoon while also garnering that slotting in receiving yards. It was Fannin's quietest performance yet in his brief NFL career, but the rookie third-round pick is clearly a key component of the passing attack and could enjoy a bigger role in a Week 4 road matchup against the Lions for which Cleveland figures to have to remain aggressive on offense.

Sampson had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers in Week 3.

Sampson was on the field for just five offensive snaps and went untargeted for the first time in three weeks. He had eight targets in Week 1 followed by a touchdown catch last week, but it looks like Jerome Ford has emerged as the primary target out of the backfield. In addition to the diminished targets, Sampson's overall usage has taken a hit, dropping from 33 snaps in Week 1 to 17 in Week 2 and now five. That drop coincides with the availability of Quinshon Judkins.

McManus went one of two on field-goal tries and made his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

The kicker had a 43-yard attempt blocked late in the fourth that would have given Green Bay a 13-10 lead. McManus is now five of seven on field-goal tries and seven of seven on extra points in 2025. Though he's missed two early kicks, McManus' job should be safe heading into Week 4, as Sunday's block came when a defender flew around the left side and into the backfield.

Murray completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 159 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for 37 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the 49ers.

Murray lacked explosiveness Sunday, generating just one play of 20 or more yards (a 32-yard pass to Marvin Harrison) in the narrow division loss. The 28-year-old has done a good job protecting the football this season, with last week's interception accounting for his only turnover through three starts. Murray's modest passing and rushing totals have built a high floor for his fantasy value heading into Thursday's tilt against the Seahawks.

Njoku secured five of seven targets of 40 yards in the Browns' 13-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Njoku led the Browns across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the narrow upset win. The veteran tight end was productive relative to how quiet a day it was overall for Cleveland's passing attack, and Njoku encouragingly retains a steady role for the time being despite the clear talent and readiness of rookie position mate Harold Fannin. Njoku will take a 12-117-0 line on 18 targets into a Week 4 road matchup against the Lions.

Adams recorded three receptions on eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles.

Adams beat Cooper DeJean deep down the left sideline late in the first quarter for a 44-yard touchdown. That accounted for the majority of Adams' production on the day, as Puka Nacua overshadowed him. While Nacua's role in the offense is likely to take some of the upside away from Adams, the latter has at least eight targets in all three of his games with the Rams.

Ford caught all four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Green Bay in Week 3.

Ford didn't get a carry for the first time in three weeks, but he has emerged as a primary target out of the backfield. He actually caught a fifth pass, but the play was negated by a holding penalty. Ford has 10 official targets over the last two weeks and 11 for the season. That's tied with Dylan Sampson for the lead among Cleveland's running backs, but Sampson went untargeted Sunday and has just three over the last two weeks. Ford was not used in the return game after returning six kicks in Week 2.

Boswell went three of three on extra points in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

The kicker did not attempt a field goal in the win. Boswell has yet to miss in 2025, going five of five on field goals and seven of seven on extra-point attempts. The longtime Steeler converted more than 90 percent of his field-goal tries in five of six seasons between 2019 and 2024.
