Marcus Johnson gets one touch in Week 3.

The former Eagles receiver had one carry for -2 yards against his former Eagles team. He’s just a dynasty-league option at the moment.

Nyheim Hines gets ten touches in Week 3.

Hines had five carries for 18 yards and five receptions (on five targets) for 25 yards against the Eagles. The rookie running back has had five-plus receptions in two of his first three NFL games, and he’s a deep-league PPR FLEX option for Week 4 against the Texans.

Andy Dalton tosses four interceptions as the Bengals fall to the Panthers, 31-21.

Dalton went 29/46 for 352 yards, two touchdowns, and the four turnovers. Despite the big yardage total, it was obviously a disappointment after a strong start to the year. A lot of pressure is now on the passing attack with Joe Mixon (knee) out for at least another week, and Dalton didn’t take care of the ball well enough against Carolina. However, he gets a great matchup in a potential shootout with the Falcons next week, and their defense has both starting safeties out for the season. Dalton is a solid streaming option in Week 4.

Jordan Wilkins gets eight touches against the Eagles.

With Marlon Mack out for his second game of the season, Wilkins drew another start for the Colts. The rookie running back had six carries for 19 yards and two receptions for one yard in the Week 3 loss. There simply wasn’t much room to run for the Colts, who should find more room next week at home against the Texans. Wilkins would be in the FLEX conversation if Mack remains out.

Andrew Luck throws one touchdown in Week 3 loss.

Luck was 25/40 for 164 yards and one touchdown along with one carry for 33 yards (which led the team) against the Eagles. It was a tough environment playing in Philadelphia, where the Eagles have been dominant defensively. Overall, Luck took what the defense gave him, and his touchdown was an absolute dime to Ryan Grant in the end zone. It was a bit of a concern that the Colts put in Jacoby Brissett for a last-second Hail Mary attempt, but Luck said he is OK with the decision. Luck’s arm strength hasn’t looked to be at the same level it once was, but hopefully he’ll continue to strengthen it moving forward. Luck is a QB1 option at home against a vulnerable Texans team in Week 4.

Aldrick Robinson catches nine-yard pass in Vikings debut.

It was his only reception of the game. Robinson is the clear No. 4 receiver behind Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, and Laquon Treadwell.

Stefon Diggs caught four passes for 17 yards in Minnesota’s 27-6 loss to the Bills.

Diggs was completely shutdown by underrated star cornerback Tre’Davious White, but it didn’t help that the Vikings had trouble blocking and failed to establish the running game (because they didn’t even try to with four carries from their backs). We’ll see if Diggs can bounce back against the Rams and their injured secondary, but Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh have serious game-wrecking potential on Thursday night. Still, Diggs probably needs to be in fantasy lineups as at least a midrange WR2.
