  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Three grabs in Sunday's loss

    Meyers caught three of four targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

    After seeing double-digit targets in each of the first two games of 2025, Meyers saw his volume crater in Week 3 as Tre Tucker instead got more of Geno Smith's attention. Meyers has still topped 60 receiving yards in three straight contests en route to a 17-228-0 line on 26 targets, and there could be plenty of volume to go around in Week 4 against a Bears defense that has been one of the worst units in the NFL to begin the year.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Targeted 15 times

    Nacua recorded 11 receptions on 15 targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles. He added one rush for six yards.

    Nacua dominated opportunity amongst the Rams' receiving corps, accounting for 15 targets on 34 total pass attempts for the team. It wasn't his most efficient performance, though he still managed long gains of 20, 15 and 12 yards to top 100 yards from scrimmage for the third stright game to begin the campaign. While Davante Adams has been impactful in the Rams' offense, Nacua looks likely to remain the top producer most weeks.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Modest numbers again in loss

    Jeanty carried the ball 17 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

    The rookie running back failed to see a target for the first time in his brief career, but Jeanty did little with his six targets in his first two games, so it was little surprise to see his role as a pass catcher reduced. The 63 rushing yards did represent his best effort so far on the ground, but it was still far from a breakout performance for the sixth overall pick in the 2025 Draft. Jeanty stands a better chance of making an impact in Week 4 against a Bears defense that has been one of the worst units in the NFL to begin the year.

  • 49ers' Mykel Williams: Questionable to return Week 3

    Williams is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a wrist injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Williams appeared to suffer the injury in the second quarter and was seen running to the locker room after being initially checked on by trainers in the blue medical tent. With Nick Bosa (knee) also questionable to return, the 49ers are down to Yetur Gross-Matos, Bryce Huff and Sam Okuayinonu as their defensive ends.

  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Chargers' Najee Harris: Hurts ankle Sunday

    Harris was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Broncos, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, after sustaining an ankle injury.

    Prior to that, Harris carried six times for 28 yards. In his absence, Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins are available to handle the Chargers' Week 3 backfield duties.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Stonewalled on ground in upset loss

    Jacobs rushed 16 times for 30 yards and brought in five of nine targets for 44 yards in the Packers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Jacobs got a first-hand taste of a run defense that has essentially been the AFC version of his own team's unit in the early part of the season. The talented back only mustered a long gain of seven yards, and the Packers ultimately began swapping out targets for some of his normal allotment of rush attempts, leading to season highs in both receptions and receiving yards. Following the shocking upset, Jacobs and his teammates will look to rebound in an intriguing Week 4 road matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday night.

  • Geno Smith QB | NYJ

    Raiders' Geno Smith: Tosses three TDs in Sunday's loss

    Smith completed 19 of 29 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders. He added five rushing yards on two carries.

    All three TDs went to Tre Tucker, as the duo connected on 10-yard scores in the second and fourth quarters before Smith found his speedy wideout for a 61-yard strike late in the game as the Raiders tried to mount a comeback. It was a strong bounce-back performance from Smith after he got picked off three times by the Chargers in Week 2, but the result was the same for Las Vegas. Smith will try to guide his team back into the win column in Week 4 against an injury-ravaged Bears defense.

  • Mekhi Becton OT | GB

    Chargers' Mekhi Becton: Questionable to return Sunday

    Becton (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Becton suffered a head injury in the second quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. Jamaree Salyer has taken over at right guard versus Denver.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Five catches in Week 3 win

    Jefferson brought in five of seven targets for 75 yards in the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    The Vikings obviously didn't need to do much through the air after a certain point in the lopsided victory, but Jefferson managed to still put together a respectable fantasy day. The perennial Pro Bowler tied T.J. Hockenson for the team lead in receptions while also setting the pace in receiving yards and targets and working with Carson Wentz as his quarterback. Jefferson has yet to eclipse the 100-yard mark through three games this season, but he's accrued an impressive 8-156-0 line over the last pair of contests heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Steelers in Ireland next Sunday.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Three grabs against Pittsburgh

    Diggs caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers.

    The veteran wideout continues to have a quiet start to his Patriots tenure. Diggs has yet to reach 60 receiving yards in a game or score a touchdown through three weeks, and Sunday's three targets represented his lowest volume yet. The 31-year-old simply may not be the same player he was prior to the ACL injury that cut short his 2024 campaign with the Texans, but Diggs will look to continue building chemistry with Drake Maye in Week 4 against the Panthers.
