GAMEDAY HEROES

Frank Gore, RB, Bills With Devin Singletary sidelined, the 36-year-old showed he still has it, running 14 times for 76 yards, including the winning TD with 1:50 left.

Jordan Akins, TE, Texans The 27-year-old former minor league baseball player caught the first two TDs of his NFL career, helping his team rally in the second half vs. the Chargers.

Dante Jackson, CB, Panthers He intercepted Kyler Murray twice in the second half to go along with five tackles; his first interception set up an insurance touchdown.

GAMEDAY GOATS

Nelson Agholor, WR, Eagles He caught two TDs, but he also dropped a third-down pass and fumbled while completely untouched, a week after his drop at Atlanta.

James Conner, RB, Steelers The 49ers coughed up the ball near the goal line to keep Pittsburgh ahead late … and then Conner coughed it up right back.

Damontae Kazee, CB, Falcons Atlanta had 16 penalties so this is a team recognition, but Kazee's holding call on third-and-10 led to the Colts' final touchdown.

FANTASY RUSH

Going up Mark Ingram now has five rushing touchdowns in three games with his new team, the Ravens; he had six in 12 games last season with the Saints.

Going down The Packers seem to be aware that they aren't throwing enough to Davante Adams (21 targets in three games); will they do something about it?

Looking ahead Bye weeks begin, but because the only teams taking Week 4 off are the Jets and 49ers, you probably have no need to adjust your lineup.
