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.

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.

Douglas caught one of his five targets for 38 yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Douglas played 60 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps in the loss. The sole ball the wide receiver was able to haul in went for a 38-yard gain, marking quarterback Drake Maye's longest pass of the night. Douglas continues to be a threat out of the slot for a struggling Patriots offense.

Mendoza did not play in the Raiders' 35-27 Week 3 win over the Saints.

Kirk Cousins again took every snap under center for Las Vegas in the high-scoring victory. There was some thought before the start of the season that Mendoza could eventually work his way into the starting role if Cousins and/or the team struggled early, but instead Las Vegas is 3-0 and Cousins is tied for the NFL lead with nine touchdown passes. Mendoza is likely continue to learn on the sidelines barring an injury to Cousins or a dramatic downturn to the Raiders' success.

Bell caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

With Caleb Douglas (ankle) inactive and De'Von Achane suffering a torn ACL in the first half against Kanas City, Bell was one of the biggest beneficiaries from both a playing time and opportunity perspective. His seven targets were tied for second on the team with Greg Dulcich behind Malik Washington's 10. If Douglas needs to miss more time, Bell could again see elevated snaps Sunday against Minnesota.

Wilson turned nine carries into 14 yards during the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Wilson saw his role expand during the Seahawks' Week 2 win over the Cardinals after Jadarian Price left the game due to a chest injury, with the former finishing with 21 carries for 92 yards. Wilson returned to a rotational role with George Holani for Week 3 after Price was cleared to play, though Wilson actually led the backfield trio with nine carries, though six of those touches went for three yards or less. Wilson has 32 carries for 109 yards (3.4 YPC) through the first three games of the regular season, though it looks like the Seahawks may be shifting to a committee approach to the backfield instead of Price being the lead back. The Seahawks head back home for a Week 4 tilt against the Chargers this Sunday.

Washington caught five of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs. He rushed two times for five yards.

Washington became the focal point of the offense following De'Von Achane's season-ending torn ACL in the first half. Moving forward, Washington needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats after seeing a combined 12 opportunities against Kansas City. On the season, he's recorded 12 catches for 152 yards on 23 targets. He's also handed three rushing attempts for nine yards.

Thornton caught both of his targets for 22 yards in the Chiefs' 24-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Thornton saw less attention from Patrick Mahomes than in the Chiefs' Week 2 overtime win over the Colts. Thornton saw 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the contest, down from 59 percent and 68 percent in the prior weeks. The lack of downfield targets and attention to the No. 3 wide receiver could be a result of a strong run game that ran out the clock against a trailing opponent.

Johnson rushed six times for 17 yards and returned one kick for 31 yards in the Chiefs' 24-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Johnson played 13 offensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The rookie fifth-rounder continues to see supplemental carries as a relief option behind Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker.

Shaheed caught two passes on three targets for 14 yards during the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday, He also returned three punts for 29 yards and added 63 yards on two kickoff returns.

Shaheed continued to operate as the Seahawks' primary returner on special teams, and his 31 offensive snaps were third-most among Seattle wide receivers behind Jaxson Smith-Njigba (58) and Cooper Kupp (45). Shaheed has yet to find the end zone this season, with his last touchdown taking place in the 2025 NFC divisional round against the 49ers, when he took the game's opening kickoff 95 yards to the house. The Seahawks will play five of their next six games at home, starting this Sunday against the winless Chargers.
