Harris (finger) rushed six times for 14 yards while losing three yards on two receptions in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints.

Harris continued to lead the Patriots in backfield touches despite the poor showing. A pick-six by the Saints to kick off the second half made it a three-score game and took away any chance of the back salvaging an ugly first half. The shine has worn off of Harris following his 100-yard performance to open the season. The 24-year-old will certainly have better games than this, but fantasy managers may not want to expect one in a brutal matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Edwards-Helaire rushed 17 times for 100 yards and secured both targets for nine yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' 30-24 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

The second-year back atoned for his pedestrian performances over the first two games of the season as far as the stat sheet is concerned, but his fumble early in the second quarter following a seven-yard gain set up the Chargers' second touchdown. The ball security issues aside, Edwards-Helaire looked explosive and impressive in his way to his first 100-yard rushing tally since Oct. 19 of last season. CEH will look to build on Sunday's momentum and stay away from putting the ball on the ground in a Week 4 road matchup against the Eagles.

Patterson rushed seven times for 20 yards and caught six of seven targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants.

Patterson served as second fiddle to Mike Davis in the running game, with Davis carrying 12 times for 50 yards, but the versatile veteran once again made a strong impact as a pass-catcher. In fact, Patterson led the Falcons in receiving yards and trailed only top wideout Calvin Ridley in receptions and targets. In doing so, Patterson surpassed over 100 yards from scrimmage, which came after he scored on both the ground and in the air last week. Given the Falcons' lack of offensive playmakers and the absence of a vertical element in new coach Arthur Smith's scheme through three games, Patterson has emerged as a dual-threat weapon to help move the sticks, notably seeing his fantasy value rise in the process.

Kamara rushed 24 times for 89 yards and caught three of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Patriots.

Kamara struggled to find running room against a much-improved Patriots defense, but the volume combined with his usual contributions as a receiver produced a solid line. It's been a bit of a slow start for the dual-threat back in 2021, as his 3.3 yards per carry and 6.2 yards per catch are both the lowest of his career. A drop-off was to be expected following Drew Brees' retirement, but fantasy managers are hoping to see some improvement considering the draft capital it cost to acquire the star player. Kamara will look to take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Mixon rushed 18 times for 90 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over Pittsburgh.

Mixon has 73 touches through three weeks and is racking up plenty of yardage as one of the league's few three-down running backs. All three of Cincinnati's touchdowns in this one were caught by wide receivers, as Mixon's lone trip to the end zone through three weeks came back in Week 1. He'll have a nice opportunity to end his touchdown drought at two games in Week 4, as the 0-3 Jaguars will be in town for Thursday Night Football.

Harris rushed 14 times for 40 yards and caught 14 of 19 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Bengals.

Harris was heavily involved as a pass catcher with Diontae Johnson (knee) out and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) leaving the game early. The Steelers' struggling offensive line hasn't opened many holes for Harris (3.1 yards per carry through three games), but the rookie first-round pick is starting to capitalize on their blocking struggles in the passing game as a check-down option. Harris' only touchdown through three weeks has also come as a pass catcher, and he should continue to see massive volume as both a runner and receiver in Week 4 against the Packers given his three-down role.

Robinson had 15 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown and caught all six of his targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Cardinals.

Robinson found the end zone and eclipsed 100 scrimmage yards for the first time this season, as he finally found his footing against a porous Arizona run defense. The 23-year-old was the bright spot of Jacksonville's offense, which mustered only two scoring drives while committing four turnovers. Robinson will attempt to build on Sunday's performance in Week 4 at Cincinnati on Thursday night.

Montgomery rushed 10 times for 34 yards and caught two passes for 21 yards in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

With the Bears unable to sustain any consistent offense, Montgomery was the only Chicago player to post more than 27 yards from scrimmage, and this is likely one of the worst fantasy performances he'll have all season. He'll have a great chance to get back on track in a much more favorable home matchup against the Lions in Week 4.

Taylor rushed 10 times for 64 yards and caught one of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 25-16 loss to the Titans.

Taylor's season-low tally of 11 touches actually matched that of backup Nyheim Hines, who totaled 79 yards from his workload. Although, as usual, much of Hines' production came in the passing game, he still vultured a nine-yard touchdown rush from Taylor in the second quarter. Through three games, Taylor is yet to find the end zone, so despite his improved efficiency on the ground Sunday, the tailback will strive to put it all together while helping the Colts to their first win in Week 4 versus the Dolphins. However, to complicate matters, All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson (ankle) might be unavailable to block for Taylor in the coming weeks.

Barkley rushed 16 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Falcons. He also caught six of seven targets for 43 yards.

Barkley wasn't particularly efficient on the ground, but with 94 yards from scrimmage, the tailback still enjoyed his best outing of the young season. That didn't come without a scare, however, as Barkley was briefly seen in discomfort on the sideline early on before re-entering the game. Once he returned, Barkley looked like his usual self, and with an explosive leap over the pile, he scored a one-yard touchdown to begin the fourth quarter, marking his first end-zone trip since 2019. Although the Giants' star tailback is yet to have his breakthrough, post-injury performance, Barkley at least made good progress while commanding a high of 22 touches in Sunday's narrow defeat.
