Kansas City Chiefs: Kadarius Toney — 69.7

Jacksonville was able to keep Travis Kelce quiet in his return (26 yards on nine targets) along with the rest of Kansas City’s receivers. Kadarius Toney had a redeeming performance after his disastrous Week 1. He didn’t fill up the stat sheet; however, he caught all five of his targets and gained three first downs. Ball security continues to be a concern. Toney had a fumble in this game after dropping two passes against the Lions.

Smith led the team in receiving yards for the night and was the only receiver to score a touchdown.

Washington Commanders: Terry McLaurin — 60.8

The Giants weren’t the only team to overcome a large deficit this weekend. Washington’s receiving core struggled once again to get going, but it did get timely scores from tight end Logan Thomas and Terry McLaurin to help spark the team's turnaround.

Jayden Reed led the team in targets and responded with three first downs and two touchdowns on four catches.

Minnesota Vikings: Justin Jefferson — 90.0

Justin Jefferson had a costly fumble near the end of the first half on Thursday night, but he was still able to put together a great game. Philly kept him out of the end zone, but the Eagles still gave up five explosive gains (tied for first) and nine first-down catches (first) to Jefferson.

All three of his receptions went for 15-plus yards, including two that came on third downs.
