Pickens caught seven of 11 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to Baltimore.

The fifth-year wideout led the Cowboys in targets while setting new season highs in targets, catches and receiving yards, as he begins to shake off a slow start to the campaign. Pickens is still searching for his first TD of 2026, or even his first gain of 20-plus yards, but he'll look to continue building momentum in a Week 4 road trip to Houston.

Fant caught all four of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 35-27 loss to Las Vegas.

Fant made the most of his opportunities, connecting with quarterback Tyler Shough for a three-yard touchdown in the second quarter and a 16-yard score in the third quarter. The tight end is the No. 2 option behind Juwan Johnson at his position, but Fant has still caught eight of 12 targets for 66 yards and three scores over the first three games this year.

Brissett completed 38 of 52 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for four yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Brissett put together one of his signature stat lines, parlaying massive passing volume into a solid yardage figure while remaining free of turnovers. The veteran signal-caller's pass-distribution profile was also on brand, as a whopping 28 of his pass attempts went in the direction of Michael Wilson (17 targets) and Trey McBride (11 targets). Brissett hit Wilson (five yards) and Jeremiyah Love (one yard) for his pair of touchdown passes, marking his first multi-TD tally of the season. Brissett is averaging a typically conservative 5.6 yards per attempt over his first three games, but he's thrown for over 275 yards in two of his first three games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Lamb caught seven of eight targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens. He also caught a two-point conversion.

George Pickens led the Cowboys in targets with 11, but it was Lamb who paced the team in receiving yards while the two star wideouts each tied for the team lead in receptions. This was the first game in 2026 during which Lamb failed to score a TD, but he has produced back-to-back performances of over 100 yards. He'll take a 20-309-3 line on 25 targets into a Week 4 road trip to Houston.

Watson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Denver, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Watson suffered a shoulder injury during the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, Emmanuel Forbes will stand to operate in a prominent role at cornerback versus the Broncos.

Williams carried the ball 19 times for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens. He also caught two of three targets for five yards.

The veteran back gave the Cowboys a 10-0 lead in the first quarter with a two-yard TD plunge, his third trip to the end zone in three games this season, and Williams topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time since Week 12 of 2025. Even with Sunday's strong effort, Williams has managed just 3,9 yards per carry to begin the year, a major downturn from his 4.8 mark in 2025. He'll look to keep building momentum in a Week 4 road trip to Houston.

Harrison brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Harrison was a distant third in receiving yards and tied for the same slotting in targets for the Cardinals on the afternoon. Despite the modest stat line across the board, Harrison's Sunday was certainly an improvement on his Week 2, when he was blanked and saw only one target. While his season-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals offer some solace, they fall short of satisfying frustrated fantasy managers who banked on a comeback campaign from the 2024 first-round pick. Harrison still appears to clearly be behind Michael Wilson and Trey McBride in the Cardinals' pass-catching hierarchy heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Kittle brought in six of seven targets for 82 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers' 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Kittle led the 49ers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, marking what may have been his return to both full health and a full workload following last January's Achilles tear. The veteran tight end struck from 10 and 20 yards out for his pair of fourth-quarter scoring grabs, his first multi-TD tally since Week 11 of last season. Kittle has now hit or exceeded the 80-yard mark in consecutive games, and he should remain heavily involved in a Week 4 home matchup against a Broncos defense that tends to funnel passing toward the middle of the field due to its outstanding cornerback play.

Wilson secured 11 of 17 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Wilson's afternoon was reminiscent of several of those in his 2025 campaign, as the veteran receiver garnered a bulk of Jacoby Brissett's attention in his short- and mid-range role while leading the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Marvin Harrison was a bit more involved Sunday with three catches for 40 yards on five targets, but it appears clear Wilson and Trey McBride have far and away the most chemistry with Brissett. Wilson will take an 18-163-1 line on 31 targets in a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Purdy completed 15 of 27 passes for 297 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed twice for 34 yards in the 49ers' 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Purdy's completion percentage was below his usual standards, but the fifth-year signal-caller more than made up for it with some effective downfield passing and his quartet of scoring tosses. Purdy's yardage total also got a boost from an 80-yard hook-and-lateral play in the first quarter between Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel that the latter took all the way to the house from San Francisco's 20-yard line, which also served as the quarterback's first touchdown pass of the day. Purdy would go on to connect with Evans (23 yards) and George Kittle (10, 20 yards) for his other three scoring tosses, and he now boasts a 9:1 TD:INT and 789 passing yards over his first three games heading into a tough Week 4 home showdown against the Broncos next Sunday.
