  • Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Season-high target volume in loss

    Tolbert caught three of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

    While none of his receptions went for longer than 12 yards, Tolbert's six targets were a season high as he took on a bigger role in the Cowboys' passing attack following the early exit of CeeDee Lamb (ankle). Tolbert's 6-40-0 line on 12 targets through three games is uninspiring, but if Lamb misses additional time, Dak Prescott could look to his fourth-year wideout more frequently in a Week 4 tilt against the Packers.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Big-play specialist Sunday

    Turpin caught two of three targets for 64 yards, rushed for four yards on his only carry and added 77 yards on two kickoff and two punt returns in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

    While he remains a threat as a return man every time he touches the ball, Turpin is also beginning to make an impact as a receiver, hauling in gains of 27 and 37 yards in Sunday's blowout loss. Over the last two games, he's produced a 6-111-1 line on seven targets, and Turpin's role in the Cowboys offense could increase further if CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is sidelined for a Week 4 clash with the Packers.

  • Grant Delpit SAF | CLE

    Browns' Grant Delpit: Big contributor to win

    Delpit made nine tackles, including one for a loss, and one pass defensed, including an interception, in Sunday's 13-10 win over Green Bay in Week 3.

    Cleveland's defense had a strong day overall, and Delpit was one of its leaders. He jumped a route for his first interception and returned it 25 yards to the Packers four-yard line. Two plays later, Quinshon Judkins tied the game with a one-yard touchdown plunge. The pick was Cleveland's first turnover of the season. Delpit tied for the team high in tackles Sunday and has 18 through three games, along with two passes defensed.

  • Joe Milton III QB | PHI

    Cowboys' Joe Milton: Sees work in garbage time

    Milton completed three of five passes for 41 yards and an interception in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears.

    The second-year QB saw his first regular-season action with the Cowboys, handling the final drive in the fourth quarter and guiding the team down the field into the red zone for a potential score until he overthrew KaVontae Turpin in the end zone for an INT. Milton will only come off the bench in garbage time unless something happens to Dak Prescott, but if he were to get a start, his big arm and mobility could give him some fantasy appeal even if his lack of polish would make him extremely volatile.

  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Chargers' Najee Harris: Season-ending injury feared

    Harris (Achilles) is expected to miss the rest of the season due to an injury sustained during Sunday's win over the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Coach John Harbaugh said after the game that the veteran running back would undergo imaging to confirm the severity of the injury, which is feared to be a torn Achilles. With Harris sidelined, rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton has an unblocked path to a workhorse role in the Chargers' backfield while Hassan Haskins projects to step into the No. 2 role, with 2024 sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal likely to be elevated from the practice squad for additional depth.

  • Jalen Pitre SAF | HOU

    Texans' Jalen Pitre: Records big pick

    Pitre had three tackles and three defensed passes, including one interception, in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.

    Pitre followed the eyes of Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and stepped in front of the receiver for a potential momentum-shifting interception in the fourth quarter. To that point, Houston's offense sputtered, but one play later, C.J. Stroud found Nico Collins for a 50-yard touchdown strike to knot the game at 10-10. Unfortunately for Houston, Collins lost a fumble later in the quarter as the team was driving for the go-ahead score. Pitre has 14 tackles and three passes defensed, including one interception, through the first three games.

  • Seahawks' Derion Kendrick: Notches another pick

    Kendrick recorded four tackles (two solo), three pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.

    Kendrick has started the last two games with Devon Witherspoon (knee) inactive, and he has an interception in each of those games. Kendrick has starting experience from his days playing for the Rams, but an ACL tear wiped out his 2024 season before he was let go by the team this August. There's a good chance he starts again in Thursday's matchup versus the Cardinals.

  • Texans' Harrison Bryant: Untargeted in Week 3

    Bryant was not targeted over 17 snaps in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.

    Bryant is operating as the backup tight end to Dalton Schultz following injuries to Brevin Jordan (knee), Irv Smith (ankle) and Cade Stover (foot). Of the three injured players, only Stover is expected to play again in 2025, which means, at a minimum, Bryant will get consistent playing time for the next two weeks. He has zero catches on one target through two games, however.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Season-best numbers in loss

    Schultz caught five of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Jaguars.

    Schultz had season highs in both targets and receiving yards, as the Texans made a concerted effort to get the passing game going. C.J. Stroud's 40 dropbacks (38 attempts, two sacks) were the most in three games, but he threw for only 204 yards (5.4 YPA). The passing volume meant opportunities for Schultz existed even with the season debut of No. 2 wideout Christian Kirk (eight targets). At 0-3 and getting very little offense through the air, the Texans might consider a heavier run-based attack, which would impact all receivers.

  • Dareke Young WR | LV

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: Impresses as returner

    Young caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints. He also returned two kicks for 92 yards.

    Young's a big, speedy wide receiver, and although he hasn't put it together on offense, he may have carved out a role as a returner moving forward. The 2022 seventh-round pick also consistently serves as a gunner on special teams.
