We knew 49ers WR Jauan Jennings would step into a larger role in Week 3. The 49ers entered the game without Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. But Jennings turned in an unbelivable showing with 11 catches, 175 yards, and 3 TDs.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf delivered a big Week 3 on the back of a 71-yard deep ball TD. He finished the day with 4 grabs for 105 yards on a 17.6% target share.
Cardinals RB James Conner got just 9 carries and 1 target in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He turned those limited opportunities into a mere 17 rushing yards and an 8-yard catch.
Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught five passes for 64 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions and scored for the second straight game. His 11 targets led the team for the second straight week, and Harrison tied for the team yardage lead despite a fairly inefficient performance: 5 receptions on 11 targets, 45.5% catch rate, 5.8 yards per target.
Lions WR Jameson Williams caught just one pass for 9 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Low passing volume for the team didn't help. Detroit threw just 23 passes and dropped back on a mere 38.2% of offensive snaps. Williams' 3 targets actually tied for third on the team.
Lions RB David Montgomery ran for 105 yards and a TD on 23 carries (4.6 per rush) in Sunday's win at Arizona. He also beat Jahmyr Gibbs 3-0 in targets, turning that into 3 receptions for 17 yards. Gibbs also ran well, taking 16 carries for 83 yards (5.2 per rush). Although he didn't see a target, Gibbs did take a pitch from WR Amon-Ra St. Brown after a reception in the second quarter and run it into the end zone.
Falcons WR Drake London had another solid game leading the Falcons in targets on Sunday Night Football. He ended the game catching six of his nine targets for 67 yards and an early TD.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of 39 passes for 217 yards, two TDs and an INT. It was Mahomes best fantasy performance of the season since he did add 17 yards on the ground as well.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 26 times in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That tied for his third-most carries in a game for his career. Kamara's 87 rushing yards came out to just 3.3 per carry. He added 40 receiving yards on three catches (among 3 targets). Kamara's 3 receptions ranked second on the team, trailing only WR Chris Olave.
Another night of mediocre night for Chiefs TE Travis Kelce against the Atlanta Falcons. He only caught four of his five targets for 30 yards and did not find the end zone, something he hasn’t done yet this season.
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice caught 12 of his 14 targets for 110 yards and a TD against the Falcons. The gameplan for the Chiefs’ offense was clear: Get the ball in Rice’s hands.
Not much went right for the New Orleans offense in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. But WR Chris Olave had a good day. He caught all 6 of his targets for 86 yards and the team's only TD. That score put the Saints ahead with 2:03 left in the fourth quarter, before Philly scored the game-winning TD.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed went without a catch in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His 5 targets ranked second on the team, trailing only WR Chris Olave. They constituted 20% of QB Derek Carr's total pass attempts. Carr and Shaheed narrowly missed connecting for a 40-yard TD in the first half. Shaheed also drew a 25-yard look that would have scored had it connected.
Saints QB Derek Carr threw for just 142 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, with 1 TD and 1 INT. He went just 14-of-25 passing as New Orleans ran 28 times vs. 27 dropbacks.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley had just 17 yards on 5 carries at halftime of Sunday's game against the Saints, which Philly trailed 3-0 at that point. But he used a big second half to finish with 147 yards and 2 TDs on the ground. Barkley delivered a 65-yard TD run to put the Eagles ahead early in the fourth quarter. And then he scored the game's final TD from 4 yards out with 1:01 left. Barkley capped the scoring with a two-point conversion run after that.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride was evaluated for a concussion, HC Jonathan Gannon said after the loss to the Lions. No word yet on whether McBride landed in concussion protocol. We should get an update on his status on Monday. McBride has no documented concussions in his injury history.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was not at his sharpest in the Week 3 loss to the Ravens. He completed just 55% of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt. But Prescott wound up with a strong fantasy outing thanks to 51 pass attempts -- the fifth most of his career. Dak hit halftime with 140 scoreless passing yards. But the Cowboys fell behind 28-6 early in the third quarter, and Prescott 239 yards and two TDs on 31 attempts in the second half. He also punched in a third score from one yard out on a QB sneak.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert set career marks for receptions (10) and receiving yards (170) in Sunday's win over the Falcons. He capped off the effort with a 61-yard catch to set up the game-winning TD run late in the fourth quarter. Goedert's 11 targets led the team and accounted for 29% of QB Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts. WR DeVonta Smith was the only other Eagle to see more than four looks.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry recorded a vintage Derrick Henry line in the Week 3 win over the Cowboys: 25 carries, 151 yards, and two TDs. He punched in a one-yard score in the first quarter but really got rolling in the second half, ripping off 99 yards and another TD on 13 carries. That included a 29-yard rumble and a 26-yard TD on the first drive of the third quarter to put Baltimore up by 22 points. Henry also caught his only target for 23 yards.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews didn't catch a pass in the Week 3 win over the Cowboys. His only target came in the fourth quarter and wasn't close to being completed. Andrews played just 33% of Baltimore's offensive snaps and ran four pass routes. There was no word on an injury either during or after the game.
