  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Falcons' Mack Hollins: Makes most of lone reception

    Hollins caught one of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions.

    Hollins saw at least four targets for a third straight game to start the campaign, but he finished with a season low in receptions and yards. He has a firm grasp on the No. 2 wideout role and is flashing as a big-play option, averaging a career-high 16.3 yards per reception. However, as expected, Hollins' fantasy production has been modest to start his Falcons tenure.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Chargers' Mike Williams: Torn ACL confirmed

    Williams (knee) was diagnosed with a season-ending ACL injury after undergoing an MRI following Sunday's 28-24 win over the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Williams is expected to be ready for training camp next year, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, but the injury is brutal news for Los Angeles' wide receiver corps. The Chargers have Joshua Palmer and rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston available to step up behind Keenan Allen, but replacing Williams -- who caught seven of his eight targets for 121 yards and a touchdown before leaving the field Sunday -- will be no easy feat. Expect Williams to officially be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.

  • DeAndre Carter WR | CLE

    Raiders' DeAndre Carter: Makes 16-yard grab on SNF

    Carter caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers. He also returned five punts for 44 yards.

    Carter's punt-return duties kept him busy on special teams, but offensively, he logged just eight snaps to rookie wide receiver Tre Tucker's 12. Carter has been targeted once in each of the Raiders' first three games, while Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers continue to command a majority of the looks from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion).

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Limited snaps again

    Johnston caught two of his three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Vikings.

    For a third consecutive week the 2023 first-round pick played under 25 percent of the total team snaps. It appears as though Johnston will need at least one injury ahead of him on the depth chart to get any sort of sizable workload, but with Mike Williams slated for an MRI on Monday after injuring his knee in Sunday's win, that opportunity could come sooner rather than later.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Targeted twice on SNF

    Renfrow caught two passes on as many targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.

    Renfrow logged a season-high 37 offensive snaps despite Jakobi Meyers' return from a concussion. The slot receiver has earned only three total targets through the Raiders' first three contests of the season however, resulting in a poor 3-40-0 line ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Chargers.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Draws career-high six targets

    Wicks caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 18-17 victory over the Saints.

    Wicks did not reach the end zone like he did in Week 2, but the rookie did set career highs for targets, receptions, yardage and snaps played (47). His opportunities will presumably take a hit once Christian Watson (hamstring) is ready to go, but Wicks has solidified his spot on the depth chart behind Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Dolphins' Robbie Chosen: Scores in garbage time

    Chosen secured his only target for a 68-yard touchdown during Sunday's 70-20 win over the Broncos.

    Chosen, who was elevated from the practice squad to make his season debut Sunday, hauled in a long touchdown from backup Mike White after the Week 3 contest was well out of hand in the fourth quarter. If Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is able to get back on the field Week 4 versus the Bills, Chosen may not be elevated, but it was at least encouraging to see him succeed handling a depth role in Miami's scheme. That bodes well for his chances of producing if called upon again down the stretch. Chosen will automatically revert to the Dolphins' practice squad in the wake of Sunday's win.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: No run on offense

    Hutchinson played special teams only in Sunday's 37-17 win over Jacksonville.

    Hutchinson did not get on the field for the offense for the first time in three games. From comments made by head coach DeMeco Ryans during the preseason, the rookie is still developing consistency, so any impact he may have could come later this season.

  • Texans' John Metchie: Two catches in win

    Metchie caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jaguars.

    Metchie played 15 snaps as the No. 4 wideout. He's gotten opportunities in the wake of Noah Brown's groin injury, but rookie Tank Dell isn't losing his grip on a starting role in three-wide sets following a five-catch, 145-yard, one-touchdown performance Sunday. Metchie remains ahead of Houston's other rookie wideout, Xavier Hutchinson, who played only special teams against Jacksonville. Metchie has three catches on three targets for 30 yards in two games this season.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | BUF

    Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Quiet showing in loss to Cards

    Cooks caught two of seven targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Cardinals.

    Four different Cowboys tied for the team lead with seven targets, but Cooks was the least productive of the bunch as he struggled to gain separation against a surprisingly stout Arizona secondary. The veteran wideout has had a very quiet start to his Dallas tenure, and it could be a while before Cooks begins to make an impact. The Cowboys host the Patriots in Week 4 before a road game against the 49ers in Week 5.
