  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Cools off in Week 3 win

    Williams caught one of three targets for nine yards and rushed once for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.

    Williams came crashing back down to earth after racking up 228 scrimmage yards through two games. The speedster's a big-play threat any time he gets the ball in his hands, but Williams' touch floor is much lower than those of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown or the backfield duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Williams will look to bounce back on the national stage next week, when the Lions host the Seahawks on MNF.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Finds paydirt in Week 3 win

    St. Brown caught seven of eight targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.

    St. Brown caught a five-yard touchdown in the second quarter, then played a key role in Detroit's next touchdown in the final minute of the first half, as St. Brown made a one-yard catch and lateraled to Jahmyr Gibbs, who ran the remaining 20 yards into the end zone. After catching just three of six targets for 13 yards in Week 1, St. Brown has bounced back with 18 catches on 26 targets for 192 yards and a touchdown in two subsequent games, giving the star receiver plenty of momentum heading into a Week 4 home game against the Seahawks on MNF.

  • Titans' DeAndre Hopkins: Impactful in Week 3

    Hopkins recorded six receptions on seven targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

    Hopkins has been limited early in the season by a lingering knee injury, and he still played only 45 percent of the Titans' offensive snaps against the Packers, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Even with the continued limited workload, he led the team in all receiving statistics by tallying three catches of at least 15 yards while also tacking on an 11-yard touchdown for his first trip to the end zone of the campaign. Will Levis also looked capable under center against the Packers, providing some hope that Hopkins can put together additional productive performances.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Goes for three TDs

    Jennings hauled in 11 of his 12 targets for 175 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

    Jennings filled in for a couple of injured 49ers receiving options Sunday, benefitting greatly from the promotion to deliver three scores and big-time receiving numbers for fantasy managers. San Francisco suffered the loss sans multiple superstars, but Jennings proved that he can elevate his game when called upon. The veteran slot man will undoubtedly be a hot waiver pickup ahead of Week 4 action in fantasy leagues in which he hasn't already been snapped up.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Another strong showing Sunday

    Metcalf turned six targets into four receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-3 win over Miami.

    Metcalf has churned out a 100-yard performance with a touchdown in consecutive games, washing away the memory of a Week 1 poor fantasy output. The physical wideout continues to prove that he can play at a WR1 level in his sixth season with Seattle. Metcalf should be considered a must-start asset heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Lions next Monday.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | LV

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Scores again in Sunday's win

    Nailor caught three of four targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

    While he didn't see big volume once again, even with Jordan Addison (ankle) sidelined, Nailor still extended his season-opening TD streak to three games with a four-yard reception from Sam Darnold in the third quarter. Nailor has yet to see more than four targets in a game, so his production so far has been almost entirely dependent on his trips to the end zone, but he'll look to hit pay dirt again in Week 4 against the Packers.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Finds end zone in win

    Jefferson caught six of eight targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

    It looked like the superstar wideout was headed for a huge day when he hauled in a six-yard TD strike from Sam Darnold on the Vikings' first drive, but the quarterback wound up spreading the ball around and finding four different players for his four touchdown passes. Jefferson still has a three-game TD streak to begin the season, and his eight targets Sunday were surprisingly a season high so far. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 4 against the Packers.

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Five grabs against Vikes

    Dell caught five of six targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

    The second-year wideout had his most productive game of the season so far as the Texans fell behind early and had to air it out even more than usual. Dell still finished third on the team in targets however, well behind Stefon Diggs's 12 and Nico Collins' 10, and that's likely to be the regular pecking order in looks from C.J. Stroud. Dell will try to build on this performance in Week 4 against the Jaguars.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Tops 80 yards in loss

    Collins caught four of 10 targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

    While the fourth-year wideout wasn't able to record his third straight 100-yard game to begin the season, Collins still put together a productive effort on big target volume. Four of his incompletions also came on the final drive of the day with Davis Mills under center rather than C.J. Stroud. Collins will look to put together a more efficient performance in Week 4 against the Jaguars.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Texans' Stefon Diggs: Big volume in loss to Vikes

    Diggs caught 10 of 12 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

    The veteran wideout didn't exactly put together a revenge game against the team that drafted him in 2015, but Diggs did lead the Texans in catches, targets and receiving yards on the day. The receptions and targets equaled his totals from the first two games of the season combined, an encouraging sign after Nico Collins dominated C.J. Stroud's attention early. Diggs will look to make a big impact again in Week 4 against the Jaguars.
