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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pierce caught one of two targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Bears.

Despite hauling in only one pass, Pierce led the Colts in receiving yards. The reception was already his third of the season of 40-plus yards, tying his career high, but his target volume took a big hit Sunday with Josh Downs (ankle) back in the lineup. Pierce could have trouble getting open deep in Week 4 against a stingy Steelers secondary.

Thielen (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's contest in Las Vegas, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

After connecting with QB Andy Dalton for a 31-yard touchdown snag late in the first half, Thielen stayed on the turf and was seen grabbing at his upper right leg, which was confirmed to be a hamstring injury. Thielen will end Week 3 action with three catches (on five targets) for 40 yards and a TD. With Thielen ruled out, Diontae Johnson should garner most of the attention from Dalton in the second half, while Jonathan Mingo, Xavier Legette and David Moore are the other healthy wide receivers on the Panthers' active roster.

Downs caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Bears.

Making his 2024 debut after recovering from an ankle injury, Downs tied Michael Pittman for the team led in targets but didn't net much yardage, as Anthony Richardson continues to struggle with his accuracy on shorter routes. Downs' volume was at least encouraging, but he faces a tough test in Week 4 against the Steelers.

Pittman caught four of five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Bears.

The wideout led the Colts in catches, but once again his volume didn't lead to much production as Anthony Richardson continues to misfire on shorter passes. Pittman has 11 receptions on 20 targets through three games, but they've resulted in only 88 yards and zero TDs. He'll have a hard time breaking out in Week 4 against the Steelers.
