NFL odds Week 3: Sportsbooks win thanks to Colts, Broncos, upsets
Gambling Insider Patrick Everson recaps a profitable weekend for the sportsbooks thanks to the Colts and other underdogs winning outright.SEPTEMBER 26, 2022
Joey Slye - No action in lossSlye did not attempt a field goal or PAT in Sunday's 24-8 loss to the Eagles.
ImpactSlye went a third consecutive week without a field goal attempt to open the 2022 campaign and didn't have an opportunity to kick a PAT when the team went for two following their only touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter. The kicker remains one of the least appealing fantasy options at his position.

Logan Thomas - Held to five yardsThomas caught two of three targets for five yards in a 24-8 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
ImpactThomas finished with season lows across the board despite playing 65 percent of the offensive snaps on an afternoon in which Carson Wentz topped 40 pass attempts for a third straight week. Thomas had 87 receiving yards and a TD over the first two games, but Week 3 illustrated the danger of starting a player who seems to be a secondary target in his team's passing game even if he's running a lot of routes. There is some chance of the tight end getting more looks as the year progresses and he's further removed from the ACL tear he suffered last season, but for now it appears as though wide receivers Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson are all higher-priority options for Wentz ahead of a Week 4 trip to Dallas. Thomas is fifth on the team with an 11.0 percent target share, behind the three wideouts as well as passing-down back J.D. McKissic (15.0 percent).

Jahan Dotson - Shut down by EaglesDotson caught two of eight targets for 10 yards in a 24-8 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
ImpactThe eight targets were a season high with Carson Wentz topping 40 pass attempts for a third time in three games. After converting 10 targets into 99 yards and three touchdowns in matchups with the Jaguars and Lions in the first two games of his career, Dotson came up empty in Week 3 (and committed his first drop) against a much better Philadelphia defense. He topped 85 percent snap share for a third straight game, and the heavy workload means he should see at least a few looks Week 4 at Dallas. Dotson's 18 targets are only fourth most on the Commanders behind Curtis Samuel (30), Terry McLaurin (21), and J.D. McKissic (19), accounting for 14.2 percent of the team total.
