Thomas secured his only target for eight yards in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Thomas' minimal role in the Jaguars' air attack was glaring on a day when Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes. All of Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, Brenton Strange, Josh Cameron and LeQuint Allen outpaced Thomas with at least one aspect of their receiving lines, the latter has a modest 7-88-0 line on 12 targets over the first three games of the campaign. Given the complementary role he seems to have fallen into, Thomas' prospects are generally dim heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Bengals next Sunday.

Ferguson (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Ferguson had been deemed questionable to return after heading to the locker room in the first quarter. He was taken to the X-ray room, per Cameron DaSilva of USA Today Rams Wire, but Ferguson evidently received good news regarding his ankle injury and has been cleared to resume playing.

Olave caught nine of 13 targets for 107 yards in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders.

The fifth-year wideout led the Saints in catches, targets and receiving yards, but all four of Tyler Shough's TD passes went to tight ends instead of Olave. Olave has hauled in more than 100 yards in two of three games to begin the season, amassing a 27-375-1 line on 36 targets, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 4 at home against the Falcons.

Murray (concussion) completed 15 of 29 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception and took two carries for 17 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win at Tampa Bay.

In his first game action since suffering a concussion in the first quarter of a Week 1 victory against the Packers, Murray lost No. 1 WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) in the first half Sunday but largely avoided any game-changing mistakes while leading the Vikings to a 3-0 record on the season. Murray's first TD pass with Minnesota was a 41-yard connection with Jordan Addison late in the second quarter, while his pick well inside Vikings territory in the middle of the third quarter resulted in only a made Chase McLaughlin field-goal attempt for Tampa Bay. Murray's next chance for game action is next Sunday versus the Dolphins.

Parkinson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Parkinson suited up despite failing to practice all week due to a knee injury, but he's now questionable to return due to an unrelated shoulder injury. Prior to hurting his shoulder in the first quarter, Parkinson didn't catch his only target Sunday night.

Lawrence completed 19 of 29 passes for 182 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding four rushes for 25 yards in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Lawrence's passing yardage continued its downward trend for the second straight game, but the 2021 first overall pick threw multiple touchdown passes for the second time to open the season. Lawrence connected with Josh Cameron (12 yards), Jakobi Meyers (10 yards) and Parker Washington (17 yards) for his trio of scoring tosses, and he offered solid supplemental fantasy production with his legs. Lawrence will take 616 passing yards and a 7:2 TD:INT into a Week 4 road showdown against Joe Burrow and the Bengals next Sunday.

Bateman caught two of three targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys.

Bateman finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Zay Flowers, who compiled 84 receiving yards in the latter's return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Bateman stepped up with seven catches for 88 yards and a touchdown while Flowers was sidelined in Week 2, but Flowers is the clear No. 1 option in Baltimore's wide receiver room, as Bateman was held without a catch when Flowers was active for the season opener. Up next for Bateman and the Ravens will be a Week 4 home game against the Titans.

Washington secured three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

The dynamic slot receiver tied for second in receptions and targets on the afternoon for Jacksonville while also finishing as the runner-up in receiving yards. Washington also was on the receiving end of one of Trevor Lawrence's three touchdown passes of the day, recording a 17-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter. Washington's totals Sunday were season lows across the board, but he's off to a hot start with a 15-221-2 receiving line over the first three games heading into a Week 4 road showdown against the Bengals next Sunday.

Mayer caught all three of his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints.

Brock Bowers made his season debut after recovering from minor knee surgery and made an immediate statement with a 10-116-1 line on 13 targets, but Mayer didn't vanish completely from the game plan as a receiver and hauled in his first score of the year in the second quarter. The three targets were still a season low for Mayer, after he compiled a 9-55-0 line on 11 looks from Kirk Cousins during Bowers' absence. As long as Bowers remains healthy, Mayer will struggle to make a consistent impact.

Daniels took over for an injured Baker Mayfield (thumb) during Sunday's 23-16 defeat to the Vikings, with the former failing to complete any of his three passes with an interception and recording one nine-yard rush.

Mayfield threw a pick with just under two minutes left in the matchup and then remained down as he favored his right hand before immediately heading to the locker room. Daniels, an undrafted rookie, took over the offense with 28 seconds remaining and the Buccaneers down seven points, but he was unable to lead a game-winning drive while tossing an interception of his own on the last play of the contest. Head coach Todd Bowles told Greg Auman of Fox Sports that Mayfield sustained a dislocated thumb on his right throwing hand, and if the veteran signal-caller does miss time, Daniels would be poised for his first career start next Sunday against the Packers.
