Higbee caught eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown during Sunday night's 30-26 loss to the Broncos.

Higbee went from having no targets in Week 2 to leading the team with eight catches while finishing second only to wide receiver Davante Adams (13) in targets one week later. The tight end reeled in his first touchdown of the year to cap off the team's second possession of the game, connecting with quarterback Matthew Stafford for a five-yard score. Higbee may have seen the added opportunities as a result of fellow tight end Terrance Ferguson sustaining an ankle injury in the first quarter, but Ferguson was able to return to action. Higbee will have a chance to prove that his performance wasn't an anomaly when the team hosts Philadelphia in Week 4.

Sutton caught three of seven targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.

Sutton led the team in receiving yards Sunday night while tying for the team lead in targets with RJ Harvey and Jaylen Waddle. This was a step in the right direction after Sutton mustered just 36 receiving yards over the previous two games combined. Between the offseason acquisition of Waddle and the change in play callers from Sean Payton to Davis Webb, Sutton has taken a step back early in the 2026 season after exceeding 1,000 receiving yards in each of the previous two regular seasons and catching 15 touchdown passes over that span. Sutton is still searching for his first TD of the campaign heading into a Week 4 road game against the 49ers.

Dobbins rushed 17 times for 49 yards while catching one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.

Dobbins is up to 35 rushing attempts through three weeks, while no other Denver running back has exceeded 10. Jonah Coleman (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, while RJ Harvey has more targets (11) than carries (five). Dobbins has yet to score on the ground after recording four rushing touchdowns last season, and he has been a non-factor in the passing game, as Sunday's targets were Dobbins' first two of the season. On the bright side, Dobbins has recovered from previous hip and hamstring concerns and is poised to keep leading Denver's ground game in Week 4 at San Francisco.

Harvey (hamstring) rushed twice for six yards while catching six of seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.

Harvey didn't see much involvement on the ground but tied for the team lead in targets in his return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He was evaluated for a concussion in the second half and cleared to return, though Harvey had just one touch after that point. J.K. Dobbins is likely to keep working as Denver's primary rushing option in Week 4 against the 49ers, especially with rookie fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman (ankle) on IR, while Harvey remains the preferred running back in passing situations.

Mumpfield caught four of eight targets for 93 yards and a touchdown during Sunday night's 30-26 loss to Denver.

Mumpfield operated in a more prominent role at wide receiver behind Davante Adams once again in Week 3 while Puka Nacua (hip) remained sidelined for a second game in a row. The rookie finished third on the team in targets behind Adams (13) and tight end Tyler Higbee (11). Mumpfield's biggest moment of the game came in the fourth quarter when he connected with quarterback Matthew Stafford for a 48-yard score with 3:46 remaining in regulation. The wide receiver has now opened his NFL career by catching five of 11 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown over three regular-season contests.

Little hit all five of his extra-point attempts but missed a 70-yard field-goal try in Sunday's 35-6 win over the Patriots.

The Jaguars lined up for what would have been a record-setting field goal just before halftime, but Little missed it wide right. The kicker has only failed to connect on two attempts this season, a 54-yard field-goal try and this 70-yard attempt. The Jaguars have been offering him plenty of scoring opportunities through three games, and it's clear that the team doesn't hesitate to test Little's strong leg either.

Butker went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.

The kicker missed from 50 yards out late in the fourth quarter when the game was well in hand. Butker is six of eight on field-goal tries and 10 of 10 on extra-point attempts in 2026. He is getting enough opportunities in the Chiefs' new-look offense to average double digits in fantasy.

Corum rushed six times for 15 yards and caught two of four targets for no gain during Sunday night's 30-26 loss to Denver.

Corum saw nine less carries than backfield mate Kyren Williams in Week 3, the widest discrepancy between the two in a contest so far this season. Corum did see his highest amount of targets in a contest since he saw four targets against the Colts in Week 4 of the 2025 campaign, though he didn't really do much with his two catches Sunday. The running back has now rushed 28 times for 148 yards while catching three of five targets for 13 yards over three games to open the 2026 season.

Nix completed 17 of 34 passes for 186 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams. He also rushed four times for seven yards and a touchdown, in addition to throwing two successful two-point conversions.

Nix threw for just 53 yards in the first half as the Broncos took a 16-0 deficit into the locker room. Denver turned things around in the third quarter, tying things up at 16-16 heading into the fourth quarter thanks to touchdown passes of five yards to Pat Bryant and eight yards to Nate Adkins, which were followed up by two-point conversions for Jaylen Waddle and Bryant, respectively, all thrown by Nix. The dual-threat QB made his biggest play down the stretch on the ground, powering in the go-ahead one-yard touchdown with 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter after being ruled out just short of the goal line on the preceding play. Denver's defense picked off Matthew Stafford on the game's final play to seal the victory and improve to 2-1. Nix has come up short of 200 passing yards twice in three games heading into a Week 4 road game against the 49ers, and he hasn't been running much since returning from ankle surgery, with just 15 rushing yards this season.

Waddle caught two of seven targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams. He also rushed once for 14 yards and caught a two-point conversion.

The highlight of Waddle's night came on the two-point conversion after Denver's first touchdown in the third quarter. Bo Nix dropped a pass just over a defender's helmet and Waddle came down with it while getting both feet down in the corner of the end zone to cut Denver's deficit to 16-8. Waddle tied for the team lead with seven targets, matching the totals of Courtland Sutton and RJ Harvey, who were two of the five players that topped Waddle's total in receiving yards Sunday night. The prized offseason acquisition is off to an inconsistent start with the Broncos ahead of a Week 4 trip to San Francisco, sandwiching a 138-yard outburst in Week 2 between two games in which he recorded a combined 12 receiving yards.
