Schultz caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts.

Schultz crashed back down to earth after recording 12 catches for 140 yards in the previous game. The Texans remained without top WR Nico Collins (hamstring), and only Xavier Hutchinson (51) had more receiving yards than Schultz as C.J. Stroud threw for just 167 yards in Sunday's loss. Schultz figures to remain among Stroud's top targets in Week 4 against the Cowboys, even if Collins comes back.

Montgomery rushed 11 times for 33 yards while catching both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts.

Montgomery was stuffed for no gain on a 4th-and-1 in Colts territory in the first quarter, and he watched Woody Marks convert a one-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Marks has 29 touches to Montgomery's 44 through three games, and it's concerning that Montgomery isn't monopolizing short-yardage opportunities after scoring three short TDs in the season opener. Neither running back has found much running room behind Houston's underwhelming offensive line, and Montgomery is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry heading into a Week 4 home game against the Cowboys.

Stroud completed 16 of 27 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts.

Houston's offense struggled for a second consecutive week in the absence of top wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring). Stroud threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Foster Moreau in the second quarter, but the Texans dropped to 0-3 for the second consecutive season. Houston bounced back to finish 12-5 in the 2025 regular season, but climbing out of an early hole again won't be easy, especially with the offensive line struggling to create running lanes or protect Stroud, who has been sacked 10 times through three games. Stroud will try to get off the schneid in an all-Texas Week 4 home game against the Cowboys.

Pollard carried the ball 17 times for 74 yards and caught all four of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants.

The veteran back saw his biggest workload of the season as Tyjae Spears continues to deal with ankle trouble, and Pollard almost turned the volume into his first game with 100-plus scrimmage yards since Week 16 of 2025. Despite the struggles of the Titans' passing game, Pollard is averaging a strong 4.6 yards per carry, taking 38 totes for 173 yards, but he's still looking for his first TD of the year. If Spears is out or limited again in Week 4 against the Ravens, Pollard could see bell-cow usage, as Tennessee doesn't yet seem to trust rookie RB Nicholas Singleton.

Tuten rushed 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 17 yards in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Serving as the clear lead back once again, Tuten proved himself worthy of the role with a crisp performance that saw him consistently generate useful gains versus a talented Patriots front seven. Tuten capped off his fantasy-friendly effort with his second rushing touchdown of the campaign, a one-yard run with just over eight minutes remaining to close out the scoring on the afternoon. Tuten is averaging an impressive 4.7 yards per carry and is averaging a solid 16 touches through three games, rendering him an appealing option in all formats heading into a Week 4 road showdown against the Bengals next Sunday.

Warren rushed 17 times for 127 yards and secured three of four targets for 49 yards in the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Warren had the Steelers' backfield to himself Sunday due to the absence of Rico Dowdle (toe), and the former took full advantage. Filling his usual versatile role, Warren came within striking distance of his single-game career high of 143 rushing yards, and he would have easily blown by that figure had an 87-yard run just before the midway point of the fourth quarter not been nullified by a DK Metcalf holding penalty. If Dowdle is unable to beat the short turnaround for a Week 4 road matchup against the Browns on Thursday night, Warren will be in store for another hefty workload in the divisional clash.

Thompson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Thompson sustained the injury during the second quarter, and after being checked on in the blue medical tent, the veteran safety made his way to the locker room, where he'll undergo further tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Alijah Clark should see more snaps on defense for as long as Thompson is out of the game.

Ward completed 23 of 36 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants. He added two rushing yards on one carry.

For a third straight game to begin the season, Ward failed to reach 200 passing yards, and his first turnover of 2026 came at the worst possible time. With the Titans in the red zone and looking for a game-winning touchdown inside the final minute of the fourth quarter, Ward lofted a pass into the end zone that Jevon Holland picked off. The second-year QB has seen a marginal improvement in his completion rate from the 59.8 percent he posted as a rookie, but Ward has produced just four TDs (two passes, two rushing) through three games. He'll likely need to up his output significantly in Week 4 against the Ravens if the Titans are going to have a chance at an upset.

Higgins brought in six of seven targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase turned in signature performances in the high-scoring loss, and the former finished as the runner-up in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the day to his talented teammate. Higgins' first score of the season came on a 28-yard grab late in the first half, knotting the score at 17-17 going into halftime. Through three games, Higgins is on pace for a potential third career 1,000-yard season, as he's quickly amassed a 14-244-1 line on 23 targets.

Andrews exited Sunday's game versus the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro due to a hand injury.

Before he departed in the second quarter Sunday, he reeled in just one of three targets for nine yards. For as long as Andrews is sidelined, WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman likely will serve as the top pass catchers in Baltimore's offense.
