Zero catches.
80 yards.
One touchdown.

Deebo Samuel finished with zero targets, zero catches, 80 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. Mike Evans caught the pass, got credited with two yards, then lateraled to Deebo for the remaining 80. Brock Purdy got an 82-yard touchdown pass out of it.

The catch belongs to Evans. The touchdown belongs to Deebo. And the 49ers say those 80 yards are the most anyone has ever recorded in an NFL game without a reception. A very good afternoon to have yards and touchdowns turned on in your league settings.

Keaton Mitchell’s three catches went for one yard, minus-six yards and no gain. The one-yarder was a touchdown. That leaves a receiving line of 3 catches, −5 yards, 1 TD. All three targets completed successfully. Somehow, we went backward.

Mitchell also ran for 52 yards, so the whole thing added up to 13.7 points in full PPR. That’s a perfectly useful fantasy day hiding inside a receiving line that looks like a typo.

Juwan Johnson went eight-for-eight and Noah Fant went four-for-four against the Raiders. Each scored twice. Every Saints touchdown went to one of those two tight ends. Chris Olave caught nine passes for 107 yards and watched them collect all four scores.

Across the field, Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer each caught a touchdown too. Six receiving touchdowns for tight ends in one game. Hopefully your league lets you start a few.

Darnell Washington’s 47-yard fourth-quarter catch equaled DK Metcalf’s 31 receiving yards plus Michael Pittman’s 16. Washington caught it at the line of scrimmage. All 47 yards came afterward, with the game tied.

He finished with 67 yards on three catches. Forty-seven yards after the catch is a lovely way to make a three-catch day considerably less ordinary.

Konata Mumpfield caught passes for 21, nine and 48 yards on one fourth-quarter drive. The clock read 4:16 before the first snap and 3:46 before the third. The last catch was a touchdown that erased a four-point Denver lead.

Those three catches supplied 78 of his 93 receiving yards. He had 15 yards before that drive. With Puka Nacua inactive again, Mumpfield got eight targets—and did most of the damage in one very loud burst.

Cody White has three catches this season. All three are touchdowns. Last week’s seven-snap, two-touchdown cameo was our lead story. This week he caught one of three targets for a four-yard score against New Orleans.

His offensive snaps rose from seven to 15. The touchdown streak survived; the perfect catch rate didn’t. Three catches for 28 yards and three touchdowns through three weeks is an excellent way to annoy everyone who started a busier receiver.

AJ Barner’s five catches added up to zero net air yards and 69 receiving yards. His first two completions were caught five yards behind the line of scrimmage. He gained 37 and 20 yards after those catches, turning them into gains of 32 and 15.

The other catches balance out the negative air yards. Barner finished with nine targets and no touchdown, one week after scoring on his only rushing attempt. The box score got busier; the end zone got quieter.

Drake London’s three fourth-quarter catches went for 68, 16 and 40 yards. They ended at Green Bay’s 16, 13 and 13. He finished the day with 194 receiving yards and zero touchdowns.

Atlanta was already ahead by 17, 17 and 13 before those catches. That’s 124 yards in a quarter while protecting a comfortable lead. Anyone watching London repeatedly set up someone else’s scoring opportunity had a very specific kind of fantasy frustration.

Brycen Tremayne had 83 receiving yards. Carolina’s other wide receivers combined for 54. That’s John Metchie III’s 19, Jalen Coker’s 18, Tetairoa McMillan’s 17 and David Moore’s zero.

Coker left early in the third quarter with a quad injury and didn’t return. Tremayne had 16 yards in the first quarter and 67 after halftime. All six of his targets came with Carolina tied or within four points. His work mattered in a game the Panthers lost by three.

KC Concepcion caught two of nine targets for nine yards against Carolina. On the same offense, Harold Fannin Jr. also got nine targets—and caught seven for 51 yards and two touchdowns.

Concepcion’s two catches gained four and five yards. Matching the tight end’s opportunity count did remarkably little for the final score in your fantasy app.

Derrick Henry went from one fourth-quarter carry in Week 2 to nine in Week 3. Those nine carries against Dallas gained 12 yards. His first three of the quarter went for two, one and minus-three, putting Baltimore right back at the four-yard line.

Every fourth-quarter handoff came with the Ravens ahead by three or behind by four. The late work returned in a close game; the late touchdown didn’t. Both of Henry’s touchdowns came before halftime.

Kalif Raymond’s weekly target counts against Rome Odunze’s are now 9–3, 5–4 and 7–6. The third installment came with Case Keenum starting while Caleb Williams was out with a hamstring injury.

Odunze played 85% of the offensive snaps; Raymond played 75%. Raymond still finished with 90 yards and a touchdown, with all seven targets coming while Chicago was within one score. Luther Burden led the Bears with 11 targets. Three weeks into following this, the target order still isn’t following the playing-time order.

Josh Allen completed a pass to Josh Allen for one yard against the Chargers. That gave him one catch, matching Khalil Shakir’s total for the afternoon.

The play-by-play credits Allen with minus-eight air yards and nine yards after the catch on that play. One passing yard, one receiving yard, one reception. A tiny fantasy bonus for being your own checkdown.

Matthew Golden’s last two catches supplied 11.5 of his 21 full-PPR points. A 15-yard touchdown came with Green Bay down 20. A 20-yard catch came with the Packers down 21.

He also caught a 45-yarder in the first quarter at 0–0 and had 65 yards before the fourth. After last week’s conversation about his late volume, here’s the whole picture: meaningful early production, plus a big fantasy boost after Atlanta had pulled away.

Spencer Shrader made all four field goals against Houston after hurting his groin in warm-ups. The distances were 39, 58, 37 and 53 yards. The last one won the game, 19–17.

The Colts’ account of the pregame scare makes the two long kicks even better. A sore groin and 111 yards’ worth of successful 50-plus-yard field goals. Kickers are weird.
