Melvin Ingram III – DOLPHINS
Ingram continues to shine in the Sunshine State. Helping the Dolphins down the Bills, he had three tackles including two sacks. He also forced a fumble and recovered one as well. Through three games he now has recovered two fumbles including one for a touchdown.

Mike Davis – RAVENS
Davis hasn’t seen much action so far this season. During the Ravens win this past weekend in New England he was on the field for just one of Baltimore’s 60 snaps on offense. Through three games he’s only carried the ball seven times for 15 yards. A fumble in Week 1 may have caused his leash to be shorten as of late.

Jaycee Horn – PANTHERS
Horn was doing it all this past weekend. The defensive back not only had three tackles and three pass break ups, but one resulted for an interception for the Panthers. He was also credited with a QB hurry and hauled in his second career interception.

Shi Smith – PANTHERS
Despite catching a pass for 24 yards, Smith finished the day with two receptions for 22 yards. The lone two receptions were the only two passes that were thrown his way. The former sixth round draft pick has four receptions for 36 yards on the year.

Jadeveon Clowney – BROWNS
Clowney was inactive in the Browns Thursday night win against the Steelers due to an ankle injury. He has five tackles with 1.5 sacks on the year.
