  • Mike White QB | CAR

    Dolphins' Mike White: Makes most of relief snaps

    White completed both of his pass attempts for 67 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 70-20 win over Denver. He also lost one yard on his lone carry.

    White entered the contest in the fourth quarter in relief of Tua Tagovailoa with the game already well out of hand, and he managed to connect with Robbie Chosen on a 68-yard score after a handful of initial plays were bottled up. It's difficult to take much away from Sunday's blowout win, but White certainly made the most of his first reserve action as a member of the Dolphins. He remains Tagovailoa's top backup heading into a Week 4 matchup at Buffalo.

  • Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Mops up win

    Thompson-Robinson played five snaps in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans.

    Thompson-Robinson saw regular-season action for the first time since being selected in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He mopped up on the final drive, handing off five times to Pierre Strong. It would take an injury to Deshaun Watson to thrust Thompson-Robinson into a role with significant fantasy value.

  • Kenny Pickett QB | CAR

    Steelers' Kenny Pickett: Improved play on MNF

    Pickett completed 16 of 28 pass attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns while adding 11 rushing yards on three attempts in Sunday's 23-18 win over the Raiders.

    Pickett fared much better on Sunday Night Football than he did in a sloppy primetime win this past Monday. The second-year starter took care of the football without losing confidence in his deep ball, completing a touchdown of over 70 yards for the second week in a row. Pickett will have to continue showing progress to become a hot commodity in fantasy, but this was a step in the right direction after struggling in his previous two starts (albeit against two tough defenses). Pickett will look to build off Sunday's success in a Week 4 matchup against C.J. Stroud and the Texans.

  • Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo: May have suffered head injury

    Garoppolo is being evaluated for a concussion following Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    It's unconfirmed when Garoppolo may have suffered the injury, but it is the second time in three weeks that the quarterback has been looked at for a potential head injury. Garoppolo played the entire game against Pittsburgh, completing 28 of 44 passes for 324 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. He took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Minkah Fitzpatrick in the second half, which was flagged for a roughing the passer penalty on Fitzpatrick. If Garoppolo is unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the team's next game, Brian Hoyer would fill in Oct. 1 against the Chargers.

  • Joshua Dobbs QB | NE

    Cardinals' Joshua Dobbs: Efficient in upset win

    Dobbs completed 17 of 21 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Cowboys. He added 55 rushing yards on six carries.

    Facing a Dallas defense that had dominated the opposition through its first two games, Dobbs rarely seemed rattled as he led Arizona to three touchdowns and three field goals, including a two-yard TD toss to Marquise Brown in the fourth quarter that all but sealed the victory. Dobbs has looked good so far in his first extended stretch as a starting QB, but he faces a daunting task in Week 4 on the road against the 49ers.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Frustrating day in Arizona

    Prescott completed 25 of 40 passes for 249 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Cardinals. He added 24 rushing yards on three carries.

    Working behind an offensive line missing three starters, including Zack Martin (ankle), Prescott and the Cowboys were able to move the ball but couldn't cash in when they got to the red zone, managing only one TD on five trips inside the 20. Prescott's first INT of the season also came from the Arizona six-yard line late in the fourth quarter, ending Dallas' final comeback attempt. He'll try to bounce back in Week 4 at home against a stingy Patriots defense that has yet to allow a quarterback to throw for 250 against it this season.

  • Colts' Gardner Minshew: Leads Colts to OT win

    Minshew completed 27 of 44 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 22-19 overtime win against the Ravens.

    Minshew drew a spot start with Anthony Richardson (concussion) sidelined. He had an unremarkable 5.2 yards per attempt to post a mediocre stat line, but he was effective for the Colts as he kept the team in the game and didn't turn the ball over. It's likely that Richardson will pass through concussion protocol ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Rams, meaning Minshew would shift back to the bench.

  • Geno Smith QB | NYJ

    Seahawks' Geno Smith: Solid in Sunday's win

    Smith completed 23 of 36 passes for 296 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers. He also threw a two-point conversion to Tyler Lockett.

    The pick was his first of the season and snuffed out a second-quarter drive, but it didn't end up costing his squad. Smith spread the ball around, completing passes to nine different Seahawks, but his lone TD went to undrafted rookie Jake Bobo on a five-yard strike in the fourth quarter. Smith will look to build on this performance in Week 4 against a Giants defense that just got gashed for 310 yards and two touchdowns by the 49ers' Brock Purdy.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Vikings' Kirk Cousins: Another admirable effort in loss

    Cousins completed 32 of 50 passes for 367 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Chargers.

    Cousins reached 50 pass attempts in a game for the sixth time in his career, with Sunday's game marking his second-lowest yardage total in those contests. Nevertheless, it was a good performance that was highlighted by long touchdown strikes of 52 and 36 yards and also included four additional completions of greater than 20 yards. Though the Vikings are 0-3, Cousins has multiple passing scores and has topped 340 yards in all three games to this point.

  • Andy Dalton QB | PHI

    Panthers' Andy Dalton: Big numbers in Week 3 loss

    Dalton completed 34 of 58 passes for 361 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Seahawks. He added 11 rushing yards on two carries.

    With Bryce Young (ankle) sidelined, Dalton got his first start of the season and produced more passing yards than the rookie had in his two starts combined. Dalton leaned heavily on the veteran wideouts Carolina brought in this offseason, tossing a 47-yard TD to DJ Chark in the second quarter before finding Adam Thielen for a 15-yard score inside the final two minutes of the fourth, and that duo was on the other end of nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of Dalton's yards. Young will reclaim the starting role for the rebuilding Panthers as soon as he's healthy, but those with fantasy shares in Thielen and Chark may hope Dalton is still under center in Week 4 against a vulnerable Vikings secondary that just got torched for 454 yards and four TDs through the air by the Chargers.
