  • Patrick Queen LB | PIT

    Steelers' Patrick Queen: Leads game in tackles

    Queen logged 13 tackles (four solo) and one pass defensed in the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Queen once again played all of the Steelers' defensive snaps in the contest and was on the field for 56 defensive plays. The linebacker led both teams in tackles, punishing the divisional-rival Bengals repeatedly in a game that went down to the wire.

  • Titans' Nicholas Singleton: Logs zero offensive snaps Sunday

    Singleton didn't get a carry or a target in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Giants.

    Though head coach Robert Saleh suggested near the end of the week that Singleton could get more carries in Week 3, the rookie running back didn't end up seeing any action at all on offense. He did record 10 snaps on special teams, but that probably wasn't what fantasy managers had in mind if they picked him up based on Saleh's statement. It appears that Singleton isn't immediately going to have a significant role in the backfield in games during which Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are both healthy.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Giants' Darnell Mooney: Totals 29 yards vs. Tennessee

    Mooney caught two passes on three targets for 20 yards and logged a nine-yard carry during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Mooney has logged two catches in each of the first three games of the regular season, and his 95 receiving yards are third-most on the Giants behind Isaiah Likely (124) and Malik Nabers (96). The Giants will stay home for Week 4 against the Cardinals, whose defense has given up the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

  • Elic Ayomanor WR | TEN

    Titans' Elic Ayomanor: May have moved up to No. 3 WR role

    Ayomanor caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Giants.

    Ayomanor didn't make much noise in the defeat, but it's notable that he finished with the second-most offensive snaps (48) among Tennessee's wideout corps. Meanwhile, veteran Calvin Ridley dropped considerably to a 33 percent snap share and went without a catch for the second time through three weeks. Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson are the clear top WR options for the Titans, but Ayomanor may be making a move up the pecking order to the No. 3 role. With that said, Tennessee's air attack has so far appeared to be among the worst in the league, so none of the team's pass catchers makes for a particularly appealing week-to-week fantasy asset.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Logs lesser role in Week 3 loss

    Ridley didn't catch his only target Sunday in a loss to the Giants.

    For the first time this season, Ridley was not among the Titans' top three wideouts in terms of offensive snaps. Carnell Tate (53 snaps) led the WR corps in that category, with Elic Ayomanor (48 snaps) and Wan'Dale Robinson (38 snaps) also both ahead of Ridley (20 snaps). That could be an indication that Tennessee is turning toward the younger Ayomanor over the veteran Ridley, who has caught just two passes for 35 yards through three contests on the campaign.

  • Malachi Fields WR | NYG

    Giants' Malachi Fields: Tallies 19 yards in Week 3 win

    Fields caught both of his targets for 19 yards during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Fields' 44 snaps on offense were actually second-most among Giants wide receivers behind Malik Nabers (50), though the former finished fourth on the team in targets behind Nabers (six), tight end Isaiah Likely (five) and running back Cam Skattebo (four). Fields has logged two catches in each of the first three games of the regular season, but the rookie third-rounder and the rest of the Giants pass catchers will take on the Cardinals in Week 4, with Arizona's defense ranking second-to-last in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.

  • Saints' Devaughn Vele: Logs three receptions in Week 3 defeat

    Vele caught three of six targets for 39 yards Sunday in a loss to Las Vegas.

    Tyler Shough had another big day at quarterback for the Saints, with 160 of his 255 passing yards going to the combination of No. 1 wideout Chris Olave and top tight end Juwan Johnson. Vele finished third (behind that duo) in both targets (six) and receiving yards (39). The third-year wideout has been locked into a key role in the Saints' passing game, and through three contests he's registered 15 catches on 22 targets for 172 yards and one touchdown.

  • Jets' Isaiah Williams: Stays on field in loss

    Williams caught one of his two targets for 21 yards and returned four kicks for 95 yards over 63 total snaps in the Jets' 31-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Williams played 90 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps in the contest alongside an additional eight special-teams snaps as a returner. The wide receiver has stayed on the field longer due to the injuries to Adonai Mitchell (finger) and Omar Cooper (ankle). If Mitchell must miss another week, Williams should see similar playing time as the No. 2 option in the Week 4 matchup with the Bears.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Plays one offensive snap in Week 3

    Tucker didn't touch the ball in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings.

    After playing just one special-teams snap in his Week 2 season debut against the Browns, Tucker played one offensive snap and seven on special teams versus Minnesota. He's well behind both Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell on the backfield depth chart and is little more than a prospective bench stash in fantasy should something happen to Irving or Gainwell.

  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Giants' Najee Harris: Operates as RB2 vs. Tennessee

    Harris turned nine carries into 52 yards during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Harris finished as a close second to Cam Skattebo (60) in rushing yards Sunday, but the former needed 11 less carries and averaged 5.8 yards per rush in the Giants' Week 3 win. Harris saw his usage on offense increase compared to Week 2 in what was his debut with the Giants, and it looks like he's settled in as the team's RB2 behind Skattebo and ahead of both Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary. Up next is a Week 4 road tilt against the Cardinals.
