  • Lions' David Montgomery: Career rushing night on MNF

    Montgomery carried the ball 12 times for 151 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding a 13-yard reception in Monday's 38-30 win over Baltimore.

    Montgomery waltzed into a tough road environment and casually dropped a new personal best of 151 rushing yards in a single game. The seven-year pro's longest run of 72 yards surprisingly did not result in either of his two trips to the end zone Monday. Jahmyr Gibbs (22-67-2) finished with 10 more carries and 14 more touches than Montgomery, which was the largest disparity through three weeks for Detroit's talented backfield tandem. Expect the Lions to feed the Browns a heavy dose of both Montgomery and Gibbs when the two teams meet Week 4.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Impressive production in home loss

    Jackson completed 21 of 27 passes for 288 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed seven times for 35 yards in the Ravens' 38-30 loss to the Lions on Monday night.

    Jackson's stat line was practically pristine, with the two-time MVP finishing the night boasting a 148.1 QB rating. However, Jackson wasn't able to help the Ravens keep pace with an aggressive Lions offense that successfully converted two fourth-quarter fourth-down opportunities. Jackson did pad his numbers somewhat on Baltimore's last drive, a possession he capped off with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews, his second of the night to the veteran tight end. Jackson also connected with Rashod Bateman for a three-yard scoring strike just before halftime, and he'll head into a Week 4 road showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs with a stellar 9:0 TD:INT through his first three games of 2025.

  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Stuffs stat sheet inefficiently

    Gibbs took 22 carries for 67 yards and two touchdowns while catching five of six targets for 32 yards in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens.

    Gibbs was uncharacteristically inefficient on Monday Night Football, failing to crack the century mark in total yards despite handling a season-high 27 touches. Fortunately for managers, the fantasy stud still generated RB1 numbers by making his second and third trips to the end zone this season. David Montgomery (12-151-2 rushing line) also went off for Detroit in a shining example of a true timeshare that can produce two valuable assets on a weekly basis. Gibbs will face another stiff test defensively when the Lions host the Browns on Sunday.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Little impact in Week 3

    Raymond caught one of two targets for four yards in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens.

    Raymond remains an afterthought on offense for Detroit, and his production dropped for the third week in a row. The wide receiver is firmly behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams on the depth chart, and his weekly upside is greatly reduced as a result. On the year, Raymond has caught four of six targets for 34 yards, while also adding a nine-yard carry over three games.

  • Tyler Loop K | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Loop: Makes lone field-goal try in Week 3

    Loop made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries in a loss to Detroit on Monday.

    Loop's field goal was a 41-yarder that brought Baltimore to within four points early in the fourth quarter. The rookie kicker knocked through two field goals in each of his first two NFL games, making him a perfect 5-for-5 through three games on the campaign. The prolific Ravens offense may prevent him from racking up field-goal attempts, but he's still scored plenty of points by going 12-for-13 on extra-point tries so far.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Critical fumble in home loss

    Henry rushed 12 times for 50 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Ravens' 38-30 loss to the Lions on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

    Henry was coming off a disappointing 11-carry, 23-yard performance against a tough Browns defense, so in that regard, Monday's production was encouraging on the surface. The multi-time Pro Bowler also recorded his third rushing touchdown of the season on a 28-yard run in the first quarter that answered an early Lions score. However, that was easily overshadowed by Henry's second critical fourth-quarter fumble over the first three games of the season, as he was stripped of the ball at his own 22-yard line with 8:31 remaining and Baltimore trying to overcome a 28-24 deficit. Detroit was able to add three more critical points as a result of the highly favorable field position, helping lead to the victory. Henry and his teammates won't have much time to dwell on Monday night's outcome, however, as a road trip to Kansas City for a Week 4 showdown with the Chiefs awaits this coming Sunday.

  • Sam LaPorta TE | DET

    Lions' Sam LaPorta: Four catches in win

    LaPorta caught all four of his targets for 33 yards in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens.

    LaPorta remained somewhat quiet Week 3, finishing third on the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. The tight end has still yet to find the end zone, though he's seen three red-zone targets over three games. Through three weeks, he's compiled 13 receptions (on 17 targets) for 138 yards. LaPorta will look to find pay dirt Week 4 against the Browns, who have allowed two touchdowns to tight ends so far this season.

  • Jaylen Watson CB | LAR

    Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Picks off Wilson in Week 3 win

    Watson recorded seven tackles and two pass defenses, including an interception, in Sunday's 22-9 victory versus the Giants.

    Watson ranked third on Kansas City in tackles behind Nick Bolton (14) and George Karlaftis (10). Watson also registered a key interception, picking off Russell Wilson in the end zone as New York was driving toward the end of the first half. The pickoff was the second of Watson's career and his first since the 2022 season.

  • Chiefs' George Karlaftis: Disruptive on defense Sunday

    Karlaftis tallied 10 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and defensed a pass in a 22-9 win over the Giants in Week 3.

    Karlaftis finished second on KC in stops behind Nick Bolton (14). Of Karlaftis' 10 tackles, three went for a loss. One of those was a fourth-quarter sack of Russell Wilson, and Karlaftis also notched three additional QB hits. The fourth-year defensive end has 16 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, through three contests this season.

  • Josh Metellus SAF | MIN

    Vikings' Josh Metellus: Snags interception in dominant win

    Metellus recorded five total tackles (four solo), while also securing an interception in Sunday's 48-10 win over Cincinnati.

    Metellus jumped in front of a pass from Jake Browning in the third quarter, snatching his first interception of the year. The safety is now up to 14 total tackles (11 solo), while registering two passes defensed, including the aforementioned interception, over three games this season.
