  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Plays hero in Week 3 win

    McLaughlin went 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during the Buccaneer's 29-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Two of McLaughlin's five field goals came from 50-plus yards as he paced the Buccaneers' scoring. Things took a turn for the worst in the fourth quarter for Tampa Bay, when McLaughlin's field-goal attempt from 43 yards to extend the Bucs' lead to nine points was blocked by Will McDonald, who scooped the ball and returned it for a touchdown to give the Jets a one-point lead. Baker Mayfield was able to bring the Buccaneers back down the field into the Jets' territory to set up McLaughlin for a 36-yard field goal, who hit it right down the middle to improve the Bucs' record to 3-0. McLaughlin missed three kicks over the first two games of the regular season, but Sunday's effort showed why he's been one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL over the past two seasons. Next up is a Week 4 home matchup against the Eagles, whose special-teams unit blocked two field goals (one of which was returned for a touchdown) in a 33-26 win over the Rams on Sunday.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Sets new franchise record

    Reichard went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made six PATs in Sunday's 48-10 win over the Bengals.

    Reichard made both of his field goals in the second quarter, connecting from 35 yards and a franchise-record 62 yards, the latter of which was as time expired in the half. The kicker has now made all six of his field-goal attempts, including four makes from 50-plus yards, while also going 7-for-7 on extra-point tries this season.

  • Colts' Spencer Shrader: Another productive day

    Shrader made two of three field goals and all five of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans.

    Indy's kicker recorded double-digit points for the third time in three games this season. Shrader is now 11 of 12 on field goals and 10 of 10 on extra points in 2025.

  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Best game as pro yet

    Golden secured all four targets for 52 yards and rushed three times for nine yards in the Packers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday. He also returned two punts for eight yards.

    The rookie first-round pick had struggled through his first two weeks as a pro while generating a 2-16-0 line on four targets in that span. Therefore, Sunday's performance was essentially a mini-breakout by comparison, and in addition to producing a team-high receiving yardage figure, Golden also logged multiple rush attempts for the second consecutive contest. With Jayden Reed (IR, collarbone/foot) out for an extended period, Golden should progressively carve out a larger role in coming weeks.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Four more catches in loss

    Pitts secured four of six targets for 39 yards in the Falcons' 30-0 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Even on a washout of a day for the Falcons' offense as a whole, Pitts was able to maintain some of his early-season momentum while tying for second on the team in receptions and for third in targets. The talented tight end has enjoyed a steady presence in the air attack through three games, leading to a 15-135-0 receiving line on 19 targets. Pitts' efficiency and chemistry with Michael Penix position him well to continue serving as a key complementary target in a Week 4 home matchup against the Commanders.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Hits game-winning kick

    Dicker went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made two PATs in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Broncos.

    Dicker connected on a 32-yard field goal to cap off the Chargers' first possession of the game before later adding a 24-yarder in the third quarter. The kicker finished off his day with a game-winning 43-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter. Dicker has now made all seven of his field-goal tries, while going 7-for-7 on PATs through three weeks this season.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Drills two more field goals in loss

    Aubrey connected on both of his field-goal attempts in the Cowboys' 31-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    The kicker also connected on a 53-yarder, his fourth from 50 or more in 2025. Altogether, Aubrey is now eight for eight on field-goal tries and six of six on extra-point attempts to begin the season.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Limited to one catch in win

    Jeudy brought in one of five targets for 17 yards in the Browns' 13-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    The Browns' air attack had a quiet day overall, as David Njoku led Cleveland with a relatively sparse 40 receiving yards. Therefore, Jeudy's modest afternoon wasn't a surprise, and all three components of his receiving line were season-low figures. Jeudy remains Cleveland's No. 1 wideout, however, and he could be a lot busier in a Week 4 road trip to Ford Field to face off with the Lions.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Stymied in blowout loss

    Kamara rushed 18 times for 42 yards and caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.

    Kamara was stifled by Seattle's defensive front from the get-go, resulting in the tailback's worst per-carry average (2.3 YPC) in a single game since Week 7 against the Broncos last season (1.4 YPC). It was surprising to see the 29-year-old used so sparsely as a receiver in such a lopsided loss; perhaps the 38-6 deficit at halftime sucked the competitiveness from New Orleans' sideline. Kamara remains the focal point of a struggling Saints offense despite posting his first dud through three weeks. Fantasy managers can expect heavy involvement from the dual-threat RB in a tough road matchup against Buffalo next Sunday.

  • Carson Wentz QB | MIN

    Vikings' Carson Wentz: Two TDs in Sunday's start

    Wentz completed 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two rush attempts for four yards in the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Making the first of what project to be multiple starts in place of J.J. McCarthy (ankle), Wentz enjoyed some good fortune in the form of game script. The veteran signal-caller certainly had a hand in that by connecting with Josh Oliver on a 12-yard touchdown pass to cap off the opening possession, and the Vikings' defense's ability to repeatedly stymie fellow backup-turned-starter Jake Browning also played out favorably for Wentz in terms of being able to continue running a balanced offense. The Vikings eventually ran away with the game beginning in the second quarter, leaving Wentz in a low-pressure scenario that he thrived in. With McCarthy's recovery expected to take multiple weeks, Wentz projects to remain under center when the Vikings face off with the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland next Sunday.
