Fairbairn connected on a 24-yard field goal and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts.

The kicker made the most of his opportunities Sunday. He just didn't have very many, which has been a theme this season, as the Texans have given him just six extra points through three contests.

Adams caught seven of 13 targets for 137 yards in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Broncos.

Adams continued to thrive as Matthew Stafford's top target in the absence of Puka Nacua (hip). During Nacua's two-game absence, Adams has compiled 15 catches for a whopping 332 yards and two touchdowns. Adams led the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions during the 2025 regular season and is showing no signs of slowing down at age 33 early in the 2026 campaign. He is poised to maintain a prominent role in Week 4 against the Eagles, though the Rams are optimistic that Nacua could be cleared to return by then.

Bates made a 30-yard field goal and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.

The third-year pro is now 12-for-12 on extra-point attempts 3-for-3 on field-goal tries in 2026. Bates is also the beneficiary of an offense that has scored 31 points in all three games so far.

Williams rushed 15 times for 88 yards while catching six of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Broncos.

Williams was far more effective than Blake Corum, who turned six carries and four targets into just 15 scrimmage yards. Williams' season-opening touchdown streak came to a halt at two games, but he has been one of the league's top all-around performers at running back in the early going, averaging 5.6 yards per carry while catching 11 of 12 targets and scoring a touchdown apiece as a rusher and a receiver. The Rams are off to a 1-2 start heading into a Week 4 trip to Philadelphia, so expect Los Angeles to continue leaning heavily on its top backfield option in an effort to avoid losing more ground in the NFC standings.

Downs caught five of 11 targets for 77 yards during Sunday's 19-17 win over Houston.

Downs garnered the most targets on the team, narrowly edging out tight end Tyler Warren (10), while his 77 receiving yards led the way for Indianapolis. With Alec Pierce (heel) sidelined for the foreseeable future, Downs appears to have taken command as the team's No. 1 option at wide receiver. Over three games to open the regular season, the wideout has reeled in 14 of 24 targets for 186 yards, and he'll have a strong chance to secure his first touchdown of the season in Week 4 against the Commanders.

Pineiro connected on a 57-yard field-goal try but only went three of five on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 36-30 win over the Cardinals.

Pineiro had not missed an extra point in 2026 coming into Sunday. He has nonetheless made 11 through three contests, so he's getting regular scoring opportunities in the 49ers' high-powered offense.

Stafford completed 30 of 55 passes for 390 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Broncos. He also rushed twice for 13 yards.

Stafford guided the Rams to a 16-0 halftime lead courtesy of a five-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Higbee followed by three Harrison Mevis field goals. LA's lead was erased in the third quarter, and after retaking the lead in the fourth, Stafford threw a disastrous pick-six that Talanoa Hufanga took 66 yards to the house to give the Broncos their first lead with 4:49 remaining. That pick-six was the 33rd Stafford has thrown in his regular-season career, surpassing Brett Favre for sole possession of first place in that dubious stat. Stafford was unfazed by that mistake and responded with a four-play, 77-yard touchdown drive, capped by a 48-yard touchdown pass to Konata Mumpfield, but Hufanga got the last laugh by picking off Stafford in the end zone on the game's final play to seal Denver's 30-26 victory. Stafford has posted gaudy numbers over the last two games despite playing without top wide receiver Puka Nacua (hip), whom the Rams are hoping to get back in Week 4 at Philadelphia.

Hurst caught one of three targets for a 40-yard touchdown during Sunday's 23-16 loss to Minnesota.

Hurst made the most of his one catch, notching his first career touchdown on a 40-yard deep ball from quarterback Baker Mayfield in the first quarter. The wide receiver has now caught six of 13 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown over the first three regular-season games. Mayfield suffered a thumb injury in the fourth quarter and seems likely to miss action moving forward, so Hurst and the rest of Tampa Bay's offense may have a tough time getting into a rhythm with backup quarterback Jalon Daniels likely at the helm in Week 4 against the Packers.

Myers made his only field-goal attempt, a 57 yarder, and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.

The veteran kicker remains perfect on the season, having now connected on all four field-goal tries and all nine extra-point attempts. The Seahawks are not doing much settling, but they are scoring, so Myers is getting enough chances to remain a strong fantasy play.

Aubrey went three of four on field-goal tries and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens.

The kicker had a 59-yard attempt blocked in the third quarter. Aubrey has now missed one field goal and one extra point this season, though he is getting plenty of opportunities in Dallas' high-scoring offense, with nine extra-point attempts and seven field-goal tries through three games.
