Brian Robinson Jr. RB | ATL
Falcons' Brian Robinson: Gets into end zone in win
Robinson rushed 10 times for 50 yards and a touchdown and returned two kickoffs for 54 yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.
Robinson's backfield mate Bijan Robinson and No. 1 receiver Drake London stole the show Thursday while accruing 194 yards apiece, but Brian had his own moment in the spotlight when he capped off a 10-play, 92-yard drive in the third quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run. Brian Robinson now has back-to-back games with double-digit carries and has at least 50 rushing yards in each, keeping him somewhat relevant in very deep formats heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

Michael Penix Jr. QB | ATL
Falcons' Michael Penix: Stellar in season debut
Penix completed 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards with one touchdown and one interception while rushing twice for minus-2 yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.
Playing in his first game since Week 11 of last season, Penix started off sluggishly Thursday before finding a rhythm and putting together a near-flawless performance. Penix threw his one interception four plays into the night on a pass intended for Jahan Dotson, but he went on to record only five more incompletions the rest of the way while connecting with Austin Hooper for a five-yard touchdown pass just before halftime. Penix's chemistry with Drake London was also in fine form over the last three quarters, and he hit his No. 1 target for gains of 68 and 40 yards in the fourth quarter to help close out the upset victory. Penix should only get more comfortable the further removed he is from the third ACL surgery of his playing career, and he'll look to carry over the considerable momentum from his season debut into a Week 4 road divisional showdown against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

Jordan Love QB | GB
Packers' Jordan Love: Fantasy-friendly numbers in loss
Love completed 28 of 53 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed once for no gain in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay.
While Love's final line was certainly a fantasy-friendly one, it was largely the byproduct of Green Bay being playing catch-up in the fourth quarter and the Falcons showing a willingness to give up some yardage while in prevent mode. Love spread the ball around to nine different targets on the night, and he connected with Christian Watson (four yards) and Matthew Golden (15 yards ) -- who were his two most prolific options by far -- for his pair of touchdown passes. Love's one interception closed out the Packers' final drive with the game already out of reach, but the embattled veteran signal-caller does head into a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4 averaging 281.3 passing yards per game while sporting a 6:2 TD:INT.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Hits century mark in loss
Golden brought in five of 12 targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.
Golden set the pace for the Packers in both receiving yards and targets with totals that also qualified as or tied new single-game career highs. The second-year wideout has hit the ground running this season, quickly generating a 15-253-1 line on 30 targets while showing clearly improved chemistry with Jordan Love. The speedster also added his first touchdown catch of the campaign on an impressive 15-yard grab in the fourth quarter where Golden had to reach behind him to reel in the ball, and he'll remain a coveted option in all fantasy formats in a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Team-high catch tally in loss
Watson brought in seven of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.
Watson led the Packers in receptions while finishing as the runner-up in receiving yards and targets to Matthew Golden. Watson recorded a 34-yard grab among his six receptions, and he opened the scoring on the night with a four-yard touchdown reception just before the five-minute mark of the first quarter. Watson has at least four receptions, along with 284 total receiving yards and four touchdowns, across his first three games, keeping his fantasy appeal high heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Lions' Ben Bartch: DNP due to foot injury
Bartch (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Bartch has missed each of the first two practices of Week 3 prep due to a foot injury that he may have picked up during the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Bills. He would need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the Jets.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Career-high receiving yards in win
London secured nine of 10 targets for 194 yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.
London and Michael Penix got their first 2026 game together off to a very quiet start, but once the duo began clicking, they helped fuel the surprising road rout. Two of London's fourth-quarter catches accounted for 108 of his yards, the first a 68-yarder early in the period on which he appeared he could have scored but was caught from behind at the Packers' 16-yard line. London then struck again with just over five minutes remaining, recording a 40-yard grab where he ran away from a fallen defender to Green Bay's 13-yard line to set up the final touchdown of the night. The receiving yardage tally was a new career high for the 2022 first-round pick, while his nine receptions were his most since Week 9 of last season. London will take a 15-274-0 line into a Week 4 divisional road clash against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins DT | MIN
Vikings' Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins: Practices in full Thursday
Ingram-Dawkins (oblique) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Ingram-Dawkins was limited Wednesday to begin the practice week, though after being upgraded Thursday, it seems as if he will be good to go Sunday versus Tampa Bay. The 23-year-old finished his rookie campaign in 2025 with 12 total tackles (6 solo), 1.0 sack and one pass defended.
