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.

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.
