Mooney hauled in all eight of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to Kansas CIty.

Mooney kept his momentum rolling following last week's 3-88-1 receiving line with a flawless receiving performance in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The newly-signed Falcon brought his season numbers up to 12-169-1 through three weeks, making him a definite deep-league option while likely enticing managers in shallower formats currently viewing Mooney on the waiver wire. Another strong fantasy game from the former Chicago wideout against the Saints next Sunday would likely generate even more fantasy buzz as the NFL inches toward the quarter point of the season.

Meyers recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.

The stat line suggests that Meyers took a significant step forward in opportunity, though how he got to those numbers is less inspiring. He had just one catch for zero yards at the start of the fourth quarter. With the Raiders down 33-7, Meyers went on to record a 13-yard touchdown and another lengthy reception of 16 yards -- the latter of which came from backup quarterback Aidan O'Connell -- to account for a significant amount of his production. Meyers will maintain a role in the offense moving forward, but it's likely to be a more peripheral role behind both Davante Adams and Brock Bowers.

London finished with six receptions (on nine targets) for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

London joined Bijan Robinson as the pair of young Falcons to cash in on scoring plays in a one-score loss to last year's champs. The No. 1 wideout led Atlanta in targets and yardage while grabbing the only touchdown thrown by Kirk Cousins on Sunday. London has seen his production steadily increase in each week to begin the 2024 campaign, highlighting a potential breakout in a divisional matchup when the Falcons host the Saints on Sunday.

Rice caught 12 of 15 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown while adding a one-yard run in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons.

Rice once again worked as the clear No. 1 target for Patrick Mahomes, accounting for more than half of Mahomes' 217 passing yards. After connecting for a 44-yard touchdown last week, Rice and Mahomes linked up for a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter Sunday, and the wide receiver has posted a gaudy 298 receiving yards through three weeks. Rice was briefly shaken up after getting tackled in the third quarter but quickly returned, so he's unlikely to have any physical limitations when the Chiefs visit the AFC West rival Chargers in Week 4.

Mims reeled in his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers.

Mims continues to be minimally involved in the Broncos' offense, as the speedy wideout has just two catches on four targets for 19 yards through the first three games of the 2024 campaign. The 22-year-old's 16 offensive snaps Sunday were the fewest of any Denver receiver. Mims should be left out of fantasy lineups heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Jets.

Flowers recorded three catches on four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Cowboys. He added one rush for three yards.

Flowers had seen strong target volume in the first two weeks of the season, though game script dictated otherwise Sunday. The Ravens attempted only 15 passes as opposed to 45 rushes, leaving all of the team's pass catchers with limited volume. Positively, Flowers still tied for the team lead in targets, and a Week 4 matchup against Buffalo is likely to dictate that Baltimore takes to the air more often.

Johnson recorded eight catches on 14 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

Johnson had a combined 34 yards in his first two games as a Panther, a mark he managed to surpass on a 35-yard catch and run late in the first half. Primarily regarded as a possession receiver, Johnson hit for big plays of 23, 17 and 16 yards and also had his first touchdown of the season from five yards away midway through the second quarter. After being acquired by Carolina this offseason, Johnson should be the biggest beneficiary of a competent offense moving forward.

Franklin caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers.

Franklin's two catches were his first grabs of the season after he was held catchless in his Week 2 debut. The rookie wideout played 25 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, up from his 18 percent snap share in Week 2. His five targets in the contest were the third most of any Denver pass catcher, behind Courtland Sutton (11) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (8). Despite his increased involvement, Franklin's position on the depth chart with an inefficient passing attack both work against him in his ability to produce for fantasy purposes. The 21-year-old Oregon product will continue to be difficult to trust in a Week 4 matchup against the Jets.

Covey (shoulder) had his arm in a sling after Sunday's 15-12 win over the Saints, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Covey and DeVonta Smith (concussion) both exited the game, and the Eagles were already without wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring). While Covey isn't nearly as integral to the offense as Brown or Smith, Covey also fills an important special teams role as Philadelphia's punt returner. Cooper DeJean filled in as the punt returner after Covey's exit and would likely retain that role if the wide receiver is unable to suit up against the Buccaneers in Week 4.

Johnson brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.

The fourth-year backup recorded his second game with 20 yards receiving since being elevated to help replace Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) in the starting lineup. Johnson still lacks the upside needed to warrant starting in standard fantasy formats, but he is certainly a name worth monitoring heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Bears.
