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.

Thielen suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Las Vegas, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Thielen remained on the turf after his 31-yard touchdown reception late in the first half, grabbing at his upper right leg in the process. If he's unable to reenter Sunday's game, he'll wrap up Week 3 with three catches (on five targets) for 40 yards and the aforementioned score.

Shaheed didn't log any receptions on five targets during Sunday's 15-12 defeat to the Eagles.

Shaheed failed to connect with quarterback Derek Carr after the two linked up for touchdowns of 59 and 70 yards in the first two games of the season. The 26-year-old's target share didn't take any sort of dip Sunday. Instead, the Saints' offense finally hit its first snag after back-to-back blowout wins to start the season. Carr completed just 14 of 25 passes for 142 yards and one touchdown with one interception. The game-ending interception came when Carr targeted Shaheed on an ill-advised desperation pass deep with just under one minute remaining in the fourth quarter. The duo will look to get back on the same page when the Saints travel to Atlanta this coming Sunday, Sept. 29.

Moore caught eight of 10 targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Colts.

The veteran wideout actually finished third on the Bears in both receiving yards and targets behind Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet, as Caleb Williams erupted for 363 passing yards. More than half of Moore's production came on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half, when he caught a tipped ball at the one-yard line but couldn't get into the end zone. Moore has consistently been Williams' first read and has 28 targets through three games, and that volume could start turning into more production if the rookie quarterback is beginning to shake off his jitters. Moore will look to build on this performance in Week 4 against the Rams.

Humphrey brought in six of eight targets for 37 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Humphrey finished right behind Courtland Sutton for the team lead in receptions while also qualifying as a distant second to his teammate in receiving yards and as the runner-up in targets. Humphrey, who is well versed in head coach Sean Payton's offense from their time together in New Orleans, has quickly built chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, as the sixth-year pro now sports a 10-87 line on 13 targets over the last two games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets.

Odunze caught six of 11 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Colts.

He added two rushing yards on one carry. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw his first two career TDs, and his fellow 2024 draftee Odunze was on the other end of the first one, a one-yard strike in the fourth quarter. With Keenan Allen (heel) out, the wideout's 11 targets were more than he saw in the first two games combined, and Odunze's role in the Chicago offense -- and his chemistry with Williams -- continues to grow ahead of a Week 4 clash with the Rams.

Reynolds secured both targets for 36 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Reynolds got much fewer opportunities than both Courtland Sutton and Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who combined for 19 targets. However, the veteran did have the longest pass play of the day for the Broncos, recording a 31-yard grab on the third play from scrimmage during Denver's game-opening touchdown march. Reynolds' experience has already served rookie signal-caller Bo Nix well on several occasions this season, as the 29-year-old wideout has posted an 11-174 line on 15 targets through the first three contests.

Olave gathered in all six targets for 86 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 15-12 loss against Philadelphia.

Olave had to carry the Saints' passing game after looking like somewhat of an afterthought in the first two games. He got started early with three catches on the opening possesion of the game, and he came up big on the Saints' lone touchdown drive, first catching a 29-yard pass before hauling in a wide-open 13-yard touchdown just four plays later. He and running back Alvin Kamara also combined for nine of quarterback Derek Carr's 14 completions Sunday. The Saints' offense started the season with back-to-back blowout wins when Carr spread the ball around to the team's top group of pas catchers, which includes Olave, Kamara, wideout Rashid Shaheed and tight end Taysom Hill. However, Shaheed was a non-factor with zero catches on five targets in Week 3, and Hill was sidelined with a bruised lung. This group will look to get back on track during next Sunday's road matchup versus Atlanta.

Sutton brought in seven of 11 targets for 68 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, with the first two totals also serving as season highs. The veteran wideout had unsurprisingly seen his numbers drop while working with rookie signal-caller Bo Nix over the latter's first two career games, but the 12th overall pick's improved performance Sunday encouragingly lifted Sutton up the most of any Denver pass catcher. The duo will aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets.

Austin caught four of five targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers. He also had two punt returns for 20 yards.

Austin took a slant to the house for a 55-yard touchdown to round out the scoring in the fourth quarter. He came into the game with just 13 receiving yards this season, so Austin will likely need to prove this performance wasn't a one-off to earn lineup consideration in the majority of fantasy formats. Up next for Austin and the Steelers is a Week 4 trip to Indianapolis.
