  • LV Tight End #89
    Bowers didn’t catch his first pass until the team’s final drive of the second quarter, just before the half. He would continue to be the primary motion man in offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s new-look offense, but struggled to maintain any consistency with quarterback Gardner Minshew struggling. Bowers could be busier in Week 4 when the Browns come to town, considering their outside-in, top-to-bottom defensive coverage tendencies.
  • LV Wide Receiver #17
    Adams and quarterback Gardner Minshew weren’t on the same page throughout the game, highlighted by a fourth quarter interception when Minshew threw the ball to space when Adams broke off his route. Adams also had two drops in this one, both of which were jarred from his hands after he looked to come down with the catch. Minshew was benched in favor of Aidan O’Connell following the interception, something that could reignite the starting quarterback conversation in short order. Things won’t get any easier for the veteran alpha wide receiver when the Raiders host the Browns in Week 4.
  • LV Running Back #3
    White not only was taken out at the goal line in favor of Alexander Mattison, but he saw zero targets. It’s difficult to return fantasy value as a yardage and touchdown back that lacks pass game involvement when you’re getting pulled from the game at the goal line, as has been the case in consecutive weeks. Fantasy managers might want to send out feelers to see if they can get anything in return for White in short order.
  • LV Quarterback #10
    Minshew and the rest of the Las Vegas offense reverted to how they looked in Week 1 after feigning competence a week ago, managing just three points until the first possession of the fourth quarter. Minshew would throw an interception on the subsequent possession and retreat to the bench for the team’s final possession, paving the way for Aidan O’Connell to close out the loss. Minshed locked onto Davante Adams in this one, but the two seemed to on different pages throughout the game, highlighted by his lone interception in the fourth quarter when a communication issue led to the pick. Raiders fans are likely clamoring for a quarterback change as the team prepares to host the 1-2 Browns in Week 4.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #5
    Johnson was quarterback Andy Dalton’s preferred target all afternoon, making good on Canales’ preseason promise that the offense would primarily run through the veteran wide receiver. He saw an even larger piece of the pie in the second half after Adam Thielen departed with a hamstring injury. Considering Thielen’s age and the nature of the injury, expect Johnson to see a robust workload once more when the Panthers host the Bengals in Week 4.
  • SEA Wide Receiver #14
    Metcalf had the only big play for the Seattle offense on the day, a 71-yard touchdown strike from Geno Smith in the first quarter. Game script did no favors for Metcalf; the Seahawks had zero urgency in the second half as they nursed a lead against a dead-on-arrival Miami offense. Metcalf now has back to back weeks with touchdowns of more than 50 yards. The explosive wideout has separated himself as the team’s top pass-catching option and Smith’s favorite target in high leverage situations. Metcalf takes on the Lions in Week 4 in what should be a high-scoring affair.
  • CAR Running Back #30
    Hubbard functioned as the unquestioned lead back for an offense that finally hit its stride with Andy Dalton under center, handling 26 backfield opportunities to the nine of Miles Sanders. Sanders gained just 30 yards on his touches to the robust 169 yards gained by Hubbard, giving the latter a solid path to fantasy viability moving forward for as long as Jonathon Brooks remains out. Up next for Hubbard and the Panthers is a Week 4 home date with the Bengals.
  • CAR Quarterback #14
    Dave Canales left Dalton on the field for the final drive, including two kneel downs, after the veteran quarterback completely revived an offense that had managed just 13 points through two weeks. Canales also made good on his preseason promise that the offense would flow through Diontae Johnson, who commanded a robust 14 targets on 37 Dalton pass attempts. The decision to bench second-year quarterback Bryce Young looks like one of the better decisions of Canales’ young head coaching career considering how much better the offense looked with Dalton under center, providing a glimpse at Canales’ offensive scheme in the process. Pending unforeseen circumstances, Dalton should be under center for the Panthers when they host the Bengals in Week 4.
  • MIA Running Back #28
    Achane had no room to operate against a Seattle defense that had no reason to respect the Dolphins’ nonexistent passing attack with Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle at the helm. Though Achane’s five targets were tied for the team lead, he didn’t do much with those opportunities with Seattle defenders swarming him on every touch. Achane saw a solid snap share again with Raheem Mostert (chest) sidelined. No one in the Miami offense, including Achane, will have a clear path to production unless and until Tua Tagovailoa returns from his Week 2 brain injury.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #10
    Hill led Miami with his five targets on a day that saw the offense held to less than 200 passing yards. Skylar Thompson, before leaving the game in the third quarter with a chest injury, was abysmal in Mike McDaniel’s user-friendly offense. Journeyman backup QB Tim Boyle was much better and could make Hill a more viable fantasy option if he’s named the Dolphins’ Week 4 starter. Without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), no one in Miami’s offense will be a reliable fantasy option.
