Braxton Berrios WR | HOU
Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Can't secure only target Week 3
Berrios did not catch his only target during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Berrios remains without a catch through three regular-season games, though he has been targeted four times. He made a bigger impact on special teams versus Seattle, returning one kickoff for 31 yards and one punt for 44 yards. He'll look to make more of his opportunities on offense versus Tennessee on Sunday.

Nelson Agholor WR | BAL
Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Big gain against Cowboys
Agholor secured his lone target for a 56-yard gain Sunday against the Cowboys.
Once again Agholor was lightly used despite playing a healthy amount of snaps. However, he made the most of his opportunity by breaking a 56-yard gain with plenty of those yards coming after the catch. Agholor played just one fewer snap than Rashod Bateman, but neither played a particularly high snap share overall at 60 and 62 percent, respectively. The veteran remains a fringe option in very deep formats, and while he gets plenty of playing time, his 5.8 percent target share and 15.2 percent target per route rate are far from ideal for production.

Greg Dortch WR | DET
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Makes trio of catches Sunday
Dortch caught three of six targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Lions.
Dortch earned a season-high 66 percent snap share Week 3, but he continued as the Cardinals' No. 3 WR behind starters Marvin Harrison (88 percent, 5-64-1 on 11 targets) and Michael Wilson (90 percent, 8-64-0 on nine targets). With third-year pro Trey McBride entering the concussion protocol after Sunday's game, the potential exists for more targets for Dortch if the tight end can't go this coming Sunday against the Commanders. Still, Dortch is fifth, at best, in the pecking order in Arizona's offense when everyone is healthy.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Breaks out in primetime win
McLaurin brought in four of six targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 38-33 win over the Bengals on Monday.
After an extremely sluggish first two weeks with Jayden Daniels as his quarterback, McLaurin and the rookie signal-caller finally made some magic in a nationally televised showdown. The two first linked up on a 55-yard grab down to the Bengals' four-yard line late in the second quarter, and they then capped off a critical fourth-quarter march with a 27-yard scoring connection that essentially sealed the upset win for Washington. McLaurin now has boosted his season line to a respectable 12-139-0 line on 18 targets over three games heading into a Week 4 road showdown against the Cardinals.

Tee Higgins WR | CIN
Bengals' Tee Higgins: Quiet debut on MNF
Higgins (hamstring) caught three of six targets for 39 yards in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.
Higgins made his much-anticipated debut in 2024 after missing the Bengals' first two games with a hamstring injury. While his return didn't result in big numbers nor a victory for the still win-less Bengals, the physical receiver was able to draw enough defensive attention to allow teammate Ja'Marr Chase (6-118-2) to go off in the exciting primetime loss. Expect bigger projections for Higgins as the season progresses as he embarks on what is essentially his preseason from a conditioning perspective. Up next for the Bengals will be a road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Breaks out in big way Monday
Chase hauled in six of seven targets for 118 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns in Monday's 38-33 loss to Washington.
Chase teamed up with fellow LSU Tiger Joe Burrow to put up monster fantasy lines in a narrow defeat on Monday Night Football. The superstar wideout had been stymied in his first two appearances of 2024, the sum of which (97 yards and no touchdowns) fails to match Monday's output alone. With a signature game in the books, Chase's offseason contract drama seems like a distant memory as the receiver looks to build off this performance in Week 4 against the Panthers.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Quiet day against old team
Davis brought in two of six targets for 18 yards in the Jaguars' 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday night.
Davis couldn't come up with any meaningful production against his old team, although he did finish tied for third in targets for Jacksonville on the night. The speedster has been reasonably productive relative to Trevor Lawrence's uneven performances thus far this season, as Davis heads into a Week 4 road matchup against the Texans on Sunday with an 8-123-0 line on 16 targets.
-
Christian Kirk WR | SF
Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Big resurgence in loss
Kirk secured eight of 10 targets for 79 yards in the Jaguars' 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday night.
After an utterly forgettable first two games where he'd generated a combined 2-29-0 line on seven targets, Kirk was the focus of Trevor Lawrence's attention very frequently in the lopsided loss. The veteran wideout led the way for Jacksonville in all of receptions, receiving yards and targets, a major departure from the first pair of contests. Kirk's usage Monday night was much more in line with what fantasy managers' expectations were coming into the season, and he could be very busy again during a Week 4 road divisional matchup against the Texans that is a must-win game for Jacksonville.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Finds pay dirt on only target
Coleman scored a 24-yard touchdown on his only target in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
Coleman has only one target over the last two games after drawing five looks in his NFL debut, but he made the most of his only opportunity Monday by finding paydirt. The rookie second-round pick has shown some nice ability on jump balls, but Buffalo has brought the 6-foot-4 Coleman along slowly while giving more playing time to wide receivers who have more blocking experience or shiftiness to get open underneath. Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News relays that Coleman was benched in the first quarter due to tardiness, but the team is ready to move forward. Coleman will hope to see an uptick in volume in a Week 4 road game against the Ravens.

Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Emerging as Allen's new WR1
Shakir caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
Shakir led the Bills in targets and receiving yards Monday, and he has established himself as the top option in Buffalo's new-look wide receiver room after the offseason trade of Stefon Diggs to Houston. The highlight of Shakir's night was a 27-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, which was one of four first-half touchdown passes thrown by Josh Allen. Shakir has caught all 14 of his targets this season for 168 receiving yards and two touchdowns heading into another primetime game on Sunday Night Football against the Ravens in Week 4.
