Henderson carried the ball 11 times for 28 yards and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers.

The rookie RB struggled on the ground once again, failing to reached 30 rushing yards for the third straight game to begin his NFL career. His 14 touches were his highest volume so far, however, and the increase came largely due to the fact that his competition for backfield work, Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson, combined to lose three fumbles. That could put Henderson at the top of the depth chart Week 4 against a Panthers defense that remains fairly vulnerable on the ground and just gave up 111 yards from scrimmage to Bijan Robinson.

Lamb is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to an ankle injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to sustaining the injury, Lamb wasn't targeted in the contest. In his absence, George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy are the Cowboys' available WRs versus Chicago.

Stevenson carried the ball four times for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers. He also committed two fumbles.

After a very impressive Week 2 performance, Stevenson was largely to blame for New England's Week 3 loss, losing the ball on the first possession to set up Pittsburgh's first TD of the day, and then fumbling again on the Steelers' one-yard line in the third quarter. The Patriots' running game struggled as a whole Sunday, with QB Drake Maye leading the team in rushing yards and Antonio Gibson also losing a fumble. Stevenson's struggles holding onto the ball could open the door for rookie TreVeyon Henderson to see a much bigger role in Week 4 against the Panthers.

Chase secured five of six targets for 50 yards, rushed once for nine yards and lost a fumble in the Bengals' 48-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Chase was part of the collateral damage of a miserable day for the Bengals on both sides of the ball. The aggressive Vikings defense capitalized on Jake Browning's presence under center to collect two interceptions, three sacks and three fumble recoveries, but Chase still managed to tie for the team lead in receptions and also set the pace in receiving yards and targets. The star wideout's production will naturally be hard to trust on a week-to-week basis for as long as Joe Burrow (IR, toe) remains out, but Chase will undoubtedly remain heavily involved in an unenviable Week 4 road matchup against the Broncos on Monday night, Sept. 29.

Maye completed 28 of 37 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers. He added 45 rushing yards on seven carries.

The second-year QB found Hunter Henry for scores in the second and fourth quarters, but the rest of the Patriots' offense struggled on the afternoon, especially on the ground -- Maye led the team in rushing yards, and RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson combined to lose three fumbles. Maye has a 5:2 TD:INT through three games to begin his sophomore season, but in Week 4 he faces a Panthers defense that surprisingly just shut out the Falcons and fellow 2024 first-round pick Michael Penix.

Barkley rushed the ball 18 times for 46 yards in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams. He added four receptions for nine yards.

The Eagles were chasing the Rams for nearly the entire game, though volume wasn't Barkley's primary problem. Instead, he was held to only 2.6 yards per rush with a long gain of just 12 yards. Barkley did manage to salvage his day in leagues that reward receptions, as he hauled in four targets for the second time this season. Barkley has yet to hit 100 yards from scrimmage and also has zero 20-yard gains on the ground through three contests.

Austin caught three of five targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

The third-year wideout hauled in a 17-yard toss from Aaron Rodgers with a little over two minutes left in the fourth quarter to break a 14-14 tie. Austin has quickly earned the veteran QB's trust, and after scoring five TDs in 34 games through his first two NFL seasons, he already has two in the first three contests of 2025, part of an 8-126-2 line on 15 targets. Austin will look to stay productive in Week 4 against the Vikings.

Gainwell carried the ball four times for 16 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

The former Eagle scored his first TD as a Steeler in the first quarter, punching in a one-yard score for the game's first points. Gainwell has worked as a short-yardage complement to Jaylen Warren through three weeks, a role that has led him to 85 scrimmage yards on 23 touches, and he'll likely need to find the end zone again to have much fantasy value in Week 4 against the Vikings.

Metcalf caught three of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

The veteran wideout continues to build chemistry with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, bringing down a 12-yard jump ball early in the second quarter -- a score that moved Rodgers past Brett Favre into fourth place on the NFL's career passing TD list. Metcalf has found the end zone in back-to-back games, but he isn't yet seeing the target volume as a Steeler that he was accustomed to in Seattle. He'll take a 10-135-2 line on 17 targets into a Week 4 clash with the Vikings.

Warren carried the ball 18 times for 47 yards and caught five of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

The fourth-year running back caught multiple passes for the third straight game to begin the season, with the five grabs and six targets both being season highs. Warren was denied a much bigger fantasy performance when Kenneth Gainwell vultured a one-yard rushing TD in the first quarter, however. Warren has racked up 274 scrimmage yards so far as the Steelers' unquestioned lead back, and he'll look to continue his PPR prowess in Week 4 against the Vikings.
