Flowers (hamstring) caught five of six targets for 84 yards and added a 20-yard rush in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys.

Flowers led the Ravens in catches, targets and receiving yards in his return following a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. His most consequential catch was a 27-yard reception on the game's penultimate play, which set up Tyler Loop's game-winning 56-yard field goal. Per Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner, Flowers knew for a while that he would be suiting up Sunday, but he was limited in practice due to concerns about the quality of the field in Rio de Janeiro. Flowers has seemingly put the injury behind him heading into a Week 4 home game against the Titans.

Waller brought in five of eight targets for 51 yards in the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Waller continued to click frequently with Bryce Young, leading the Panthers in receptions and targets while finishing second in receiving yards with totals that all qualified as season highs. The veteran tight end has proven to be a seamless fit in head coach Dave Canales' offense, recording 10 receptions for 112 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets over the first three games. Waller should continue to fill a prominent role in a Week 4 home matchup against the high-powered Lions next Sunday night.

Jeanty carried the ball 19 times for 56 yards and caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints.

The second-year back topped 20 touches for a third straight game to begin the season as he settles into a bell-cow role for the Raiders. Jeanty is still looking for his first rushing touchdown of 2026, but he did haul in two TD passes from Kirk Cousins back in Week 1, and through three contests he's amassed 206 rushing yards to go along with his 13-97-2 receiving line on 16 targets. While his yardage has been strong, however, Jeanty's 3.3 YPC leaves a lot to be desired. He may need to be more efficient with his volume in Week 4 at home against Kansas City.

Henry rushed 26 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns while catching his lone target for no gain in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys.

Henry scored a four-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter and a three-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter, but he was denied the hat trick in the fourth quarter, when a would-be third rushing score was ruled down at the 1-yard line on replay, and Henry's subsequent effort to get in on fourth down was stuffed. The 32-year-old Henry is showing no signs of slowing down, as he has six touchdowns through three games and is averaging just over 100 rushing yards per game heading into a Week 4 home game against the winless Titans.

Jackson completed 15 of 20 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys.

Jackson threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Chris Moore in the third quarter and a two-yard touchdown pass to Matthew Hibner with 1:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, but his most memorable pass was a 27-yarder to Zay Flowers on the game's penultimate play, which set up Tyler Loop's game-winning 56-yard field goal after the Ravens got the ball with seven seconds left in a tie game. Following Sunday's win over the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Jackson and the Ravens will fly home from Brazil to host the 0-3 Titans in Week 4.

Watson completed 16 of 30 passes for 144 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing 11 times for 45 yards in the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

While Watson was anything but efficient through the air for the majority of the afternoon, the veteran signal-caller avoided turnovers and fired a pair of key touchdown passes to Harold Fannin, including a game-winning scoring toss with 1:48 remaining on which Watson scrambled to buy himself time before releasing the ball on the run. Watson's mobility also played a key part throughout earlier portions of the game, as he was second on Cleveland in rushing yards with his highest total since Week 9 of the 2020 season while he was still with the Texans (he'd also rushed for 45 yards in Week 1 of the 2023 season). Watson is still clearly a work in progress in head coach Todd Monken's offense, but he appears to have an increasingly firm hold on the starting job heading into Thursday night's Week 4 divisional home clash against the Steelers.

Bowers caught 10 of 13 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints.

Making his season debut after minor knee surgery cost him the first two contests, Bowers immediately stepped back into his role as the Raiders' top pass catcher, leading the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The star tight end's last catch was his biggest, as he connected with Kirk Cousins for a four-yard TD in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-winning score. Bowers is clearly fully recovered from his surgery, and he'll be a key part of the Las Vegas offense once again in Week 4 at home against Kansas City.

Young completed 26 of 48 passes for 291 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Young's passing yardage total was impressive in defeat, especially considering he lost No. 2 receiver Jalen Coker to a quadriceps injury during the contest. However, the fourth-year signal-caller also struggled at times against an aggressive Browns defense that sacked him three times and recorded a game-sealing interception at Cleveland's 46-yard line. After the game, per Joe Person of The Athletic, head coach Dave Canales told reporters that a lower-body injury appeared to impact Young on some throws, which may help explain some of the struggles he endured. Young still has an impressive 7:2 TD:INT and has thrown for 939 yards over his first three games heading into a Week 4 home clash with the Lions next Sunday night.

Hubbard rushed 19 times for 82 yards and brought in all four targets for 28 yards in the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

As expected, Hubbard dominated the touches out of the Panthers backfield, outpacing AJ Dillon by 15 carries. Hubbard also played his customary pass-game role with efficacy, recording a new season high in receptions along the way. Hubbard has also upped his rushing yardage total over that of the previous contest in each game so far, and considering Jonathon Brooks (IR, abdomen) will remain unavailable for the foreseeable future, the former lines up for another workhorse role in a Week 4 home showdown against the Lions next Sunday night.

Etienne exited Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders due to an injury to the same hamstring which bothered him in practice leading up to the game, head coach Kellen Moore revealed after the loss, John Hendrix of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Etienne's second-half hamstring injury was an aggravation of a previous injury, which limited his practice participation Wednesday and Thursday. Soft-tissue injuries have a tendency to linger, so it wouldn't be surprising if Etienne missed some game action to allow his hamstring to heal, especially since the Saints could opt for a cautious approach with Etienne after signing him to a four-year, $52 million contract in March. Further testing on the injury may be required before a return timetable is established, though Moore said that an update on Etienne and other injured players may be provided Monday. If Etienne were to miss any time, more touches would be available for Alvin Kamara, CJ Donaldson and Kendre Miller.
