DeMarco Murray breaks long touchdown in win over Seattle.

Murray, who only participated in Friday’s practice after missing Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring issue that limited him in Week 2, looked to be in tip-top form during the game, He carried 14 times for 115 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown where Murray ran outside and up the sideline, doing a great job following his blocks to get in the end zone. Murray also had a five-yard reception. Derrick Henry’s presence remains a concern, but Murray still has it (if there was any doubt). He should be in lineups in Week 4 against the Texans.

Melvin Gordon scores again in Chargers’ loss.

Gordon had 17 carries for 79 yards and a touchdown, but he didn’t catch any passes in the game. The third-year back was battled a knee injury that forced him to miss some practice throughout the week, and he was in and out of the game in the second half. The knee issue doesn’t appear to be too serious, but it’s something to keep an eye on. Despite the struggles of the Chargers, Gordon has three scores through three games and is clearly an elite RB1, if not the best running back option overall.

C.J. Prosise catches 46-yard pass in Week 3 loss.

Prosise caught three of five targets for 65 yards against the Titans, while he also had four carries for nine yards. The 46-yard reception was on a nice sluggo route that he got wide open on. Prosise is in the PPR FLEX conversation for Week 4 against Indy.

Bruce Ellington plays well in Week 4.

Ellington has played well so far this season, and he got the nod over 2016 second-rounder Braxton Miller, who was a healthy scratch for he game. Ellington had three receptions (on four targets) for 44 yards while also adding a 13-yard carry. He’s contributing in a big way for the Texans in real life, but he’s not yet a fantasy option.

Brandon Lafell gets three targets in Week 5.

Lafell caught two of the three targets for 17 yards in the game. He’ll have some good weeks this season and is a contributor to the Bengals, but Lafell is not a fantasy option right now.

Levine Toilolo caught three passes for 21 yards in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo.

Toilolo got some more snaps once Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu went down for Atlanta. He isn’t a fantasy option when the Falcons return from their Week 5 bye.

Paul Perkins (ribs) is questionable to return against the Bucs.

It appeared Perkins was walking from the locker room back to the field with no pads, and it doesn’t look like he’ll return to the game. Perkins had nine carries for 13 yards and a six-yard reception before he left, again struggling to do much of anything. Meanwhile, rookie Wayne Gallman ripped off a few nice runs and caught a touchdown when he was finally given his long overdue opportunity. Gallman might run away with this job.
