That’s eight touchdown passes in three games for Darnold in Minnesota’s well-designed Kevin O’Connell offense, which on Sunday dissected a tough Houston defense. Darnold connected with Justin Jefferson for an early score, and also hit Aaron Jones and Jalen Nailor for touchdowns before connecting with TE Johnny Mundt for the game-sealing score. Darnold was precise throughout, and played through a minor knee injury he picked up in the second half. That injury will be worth monitoring before the Vikings’ Week 4 game against the Packers.

With Travis Homer (finger) inactive, Herbert somehow immediately got leapt by Roschon Johnson for No. 2 duties. With 10 touches through three games, Herbert has zero standalone value and wouldn’t even necessarily become an immediate FLEX option in a potential D’Andre Swift absence.

Robinson had a long reception of 20 yards, but the rest was short stuff. After Robinson led the Giants with 12 targets in Week 1, Malik Nabers has emerged as the clear focal point of the offense over the last two games. Robinson still has some value in PPR leagues, but with more targets going to Nabers and without a downfield role he’s going to need to score touchdowns to remain viable. Robinson is no better than a WR4 heading into Week 4 against the Cowboys.

With Travis Homer (finger) inactive, Johnson went from being unable to get on the field to ... playing seemingly every third down and rotating carries with an ineffective D’Andre Swift? It’s unclear why one lightly-used third-down back injury changed everything in the Bears’ backfield, but we digress. Johnson out-rushed Swift 30-20 despite being out-carried 13-8. He frankly looked better than Swift, who is looking like a free agent mega bust as he averages 1.83 yards per carry. Johnson is worth speculative end-of-bench adds, but he won’t be a viable Week 4 FLEX vs. the Rams.

Nabers has had back-to-back big games for the Giants. He had more yards in Week 2, but this might’ve been the more impressive performance. Nabers leaped over a Browns corner and ripped the ball out of his hands for a catch on the sideline then followed up with a leaping, twisting catch in the end zone for his first touchdown. Before the first half was over, he had six catches, 66 yards and two scores. After Nabers saw only seven targets in the Week 1 loss, he’s had double digit targets in back-to-back wins. With Nabers as the clear focal point of the offense, he’s a WR1 heading into Week 4’s matchup against the Cowboys.

Thielen remained on the ground after a 31-yard touchdown reception towards the end of the first half. He walked to the locker room under his own power and was deemed questionable to return following the intermission. Thielen caught 3-of-5 targets for 40 yards and a touchdown prior to departing.

The 36 yards were, depressingly, a new season high for a wideout who just isn’t jibing with Anthony Richardson’s boom-or-bust down-field passing skill-set. Pittman’s five targets were a new season low. The missed connection was a horrendous Richardson third-down overthrow. It’s difficult to envision Pittman getting going against the Steelers in Week 4, rendering him a back-end WR3.

Foreman out-touched Jerome Ford 15-8 in Week 2, but was barely involved in the offense this week. The Browns played most of the game from behind, throwing 37 passes. Foreman wasn’t targeted at all in this one. Maybe his fumble last week is to blame for the almost complete lack of usage against the Giants. Foreman is just a bench stash in deep leagues heading into the Browns’ Week 4 matchup against the Raiders.

LaPorta limped off the field after a Detroit touchdown late in the second quarter. He appeared to have his ankle rolled on by an Arizona defender while blocking, though the team has not made an announcement about his injury yet. He was carted to the locker room after making it to the sidelines under his own power. If he can’t return, Brock Wright will be in line to get the bulk of the snaps at tight end in the second half.

Williams’ calf cramp occurred as Williams engaged a Rams pass rusher, shuffling and twisting toward his right side. Williams eventually fell to the ground during the play and was seen grabbing at his left calf while on the ground. He was able to walk to the locker room under his own power after leaving the field.

Dell continues to run as the Texans’ distant No. 3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins. Dell’s 62 yards marks a season high after two miserable games to start the 2024 season. Dell will continue to disappoint in the box score unless he hits a big play or sees a higher route rate in the balanced Houston offense.
