Patrick reeled in his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.

Patrick was elevated from the practice squad for the second game in a row and failed to make a major splash versus Arizona. The 30-year-old operated as a distant No. 3 option at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, who combined for 11 targets. Patrick will look to earn another shot with the active roster, which could come as soon as Week 4 against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

Adams recorded four receptions on nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.

Adams remained Gardner Minshew's favorite target, as both Tre Tucker and Jakobi Meyers had their stat lines padded in garbage time by Aidan O'Connell. Nevertheless, Adams' struggles due to quarterback play are worth noting, as he now has fewer than 60 yards in two of three games to begin the season. His Week 2 performance makes it clear that he can still deliver splash performances, but his results are likely to remain inconsistent.

Carter caught three passes for 22 yards in the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Carter continues to see a regular role in the Chicago offense while Keenan Allen (heel) is sidelined. As long as Carter remains in a that role, he'll continue to function as a possession receiver. Once Allen returns, Carter is likely to be a core special teamer who sees occasional snaps on offense.

Atwell led the Rams in receptions (four) and yardage (93) off of five targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.

Atwell also tied for the lead in targets for the Rams sans Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) in Sunday's unlikely win. The projected No. 3 wideout has excelled to the tune of a 10/185/0 receiving line through three weeks. He still remains a fringe WR or borderline flex option in standard formats as Los Angeles' offense continues to develop without some key names heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Bears.

Wilson secured eight of nine targets for 64 yards in the Cardinals' 20-13 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Wilson surprisingly set the pace for the Cardinals in receptions while tying Marvin Harrison for the team lead in receiving yards. The third-year wideout also was the runner-up in targets, and both that figure and his catch tally served as career highs. Wilson had been very modestly involved over the first two games, logging three receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown on four targets, so it remains to be seen if Sunday's surge in attention from Kyler Murray will endure in a Week 4 home matchup against the Commanders.

Lamb recorded four catches on seven targets for 67 yards while also losing a fumble in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Ravens.

Lamb saw a disappointing seven targets on Dak Prescott's 51 pass attempts and had a muted stat line against Baltimore. Interestingly, he had the majority of his production in the first half when Dallas struggled to move the ball, yet he was mostly silent as the team made a furious comeback late in the contest. Much like the Cowboys offense, Lamb has gotten off to a disappointing start to the season, as he's been held under 70 receiving yards in two of three games and has yet to hit 100 yards in a matchup.

Robinson caught one of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.

Robinson filled in for a undermanned Rams receiving corps against a division rival. The former Chief, who had two targets in Week 2, still lacks the consistency necessary to be a must-start option in standard fantasy leagues. Robinson should have use in deeper formats heading into Sunday's tilt against the Bears.

Waddle secured four of five targets for 26 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Like his position mate Tyreek Hill, Waddle saw his considerable upside capped by having to play with Skylar Thompson (ribs), and upon the latter's exit from the contest, Tim Boyle, as his two quarterbacks. Waddle now has back-to-back four-reception outings, and he's netted a forgettable 67 receiving yards in that pair of contests. There's not much reason for optimism in the short term, either, as Tua Tagovailoa's (IR-concussion) future is in limbo and Thompson may have an uphill battle to be ready for a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

Smith-Njigba finished with three receptions on as many targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins.

The Seahawks took care of an undermanned Dolphins squad at home, resulting in a low-output game from Smith-Njigba. The sophomore wideout was coming off of his best game of the season, so fantasy managers should not give up on the youngster. Smith-Njigba will look to be more productive against the Lions next Monday.

Lockett (thigh) garnered eight targets in Sunday's 24-7 win that resulted in five receptions for 46 yards against the Dolphins.

Lockett was cleared of a minor thigh injury prior to Sunday's win, and he led the team in targets with a solid fantasy showing for PPR managers. Seattle's veteran wideout has yet to score a touchdown through three games, but he has recorded 13 receptions for 138 yards. Lockett remains a reliable fantasy option heading into next Monday's tilt against the Lions.
