Bateman noted after Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts that his hamstring tightened up on him during the contest, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Though Zrebiec indicates that Bateman was laboring late in the game and walked back to locker room with a pronounced limp, the wideout doesn't think his hamstring issue is anything serious. That said, Bateman's status is now worth tracking (along with that of fellow WR Odell Beckham/ankle) as next weekend's tilt against the Browns approaches.

Dell brought in five of seven targets for 145 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 37-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Dell led the Texans in receptions, receiving yards and targets during the upset victory, putting a punctuation mark on Houston's surprising 20-point win with a 68-yard touchdown grab with just under nine minutes remaining. Dell has quickly ascended in the pecking order of the Texans' air attack, now having produced a 12-217-2 line in his last two games while logging 17 targets in that span. Dell could continue taking away his fair share of targets from veteran Robert Woods and challenge Nico Collins for the mantle of C.J. Stroud's top option in certain games this season, with his next opportunity to do so coming in a Week 4 home matchup against the Steelers.

Cooper recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans.

Cooper was overshadowed by Elijah Moore for much of the day, but he beat the Titans' secondary deep down the field for a 43-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to put together a big line. Since a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Bengals, Cooper has 206 yards combined between his last two games. He also has a hold on a key role in the offense, as he's seen at least seven targets in all three of Cleveland's contests to this point.

St. Brown caught nine of 12 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Falcons. He also rushed once for four yards.

St. Brown overcame a toe injury to suit up and performed like his usual self. The Pro Bowl wideout led Detroit in catches, targets and receiving yards, although rookie Sam LaPorta had the team's only touchdown grab. Along with recording at least six receptions in each game this season, St. Brown has either scored or topped 100 yards in all three contests. That puts him in excellent form ahead of Thursday night's visit to Green Bay, where top cornerback Jaire Alexander (back) was sidelined in Week 3.

Williams is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the knee injury he suffered in the Chargers' 28-24 win over the Vikings on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, Williams rode a cart to the bus at U.S. Bank Stadium following the contest with his left leg in a brace. If the wideout is forced to miss time beyond Week 3, Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston would see added opportunities going forward alongside Keenan Allen. Prior to his exit Sunday, Williams caught seven of his eight targets for 121 yards and a TD.

Allen recorded 18 receptions on 20 targets for 215 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Vikings. He also threw for a 49-yard touchdown.

Allen's monstrous line unsurprisingly set career-best marks in both receptions and yards in a single game. He did that on impressive volume, but he also managed five catches of more than 20 yards -- a particularly impressive mark given that he had only seven such plays across 10 games in 2022. Allen also contributed to the win in unexpected ways, as he tossed a 49-yard touchdown to Mike Williams midway through the third quarter. The Chargers have shown a willingness to be more aggressive with their passing attack early on this season, and Allen has benefitted by now seeing at least nine targets in all three games.

Davis caught one of four targets for a 35-yard touchdown and rushed once for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 37- 3 win over the Commanders.

Davis' 35-yard touchdown in the first quarter gave him a receiving score in consecutive games, but he failed to record another catch in the blowout win. Stefon Diggs has 32 targets to Davis' 15 through three games, but the Bills may need big games from both of Josh Allen's top two wide receivers in Week 4 to keep pace with an undefeated Dolphins team coming off a 70-point performance.

Hopkins (ankle) caught three of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Browns.

Hopkins came in questionable with an ankle injury for the second consecutive game, though the veteran wide receiver was held back more by the struggling offense around him than any physical limitations. His two catches for 43 yards accounted for almost half of Ryan Tannehill's 91 passing yards in the first half. Tannehill added just 13 passing yards after halftime, five of which went to Hopkins. While Hopkins has a healthy 25 targets through three weeks, he has turned that volume into a modest 153 yards without a touchdown heading into a Week 4 home game against the Bengals.

Hill secured nine of 11 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 70-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Hill paced the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets with Jaylen Waddle (concussion) sidelined for the contest, and his personal game-long 54-yard grab went for a first-quarter touchdown. Like the rest of Miami's front-line skill-position players, Hill's day ended early in the record-setting blowout victory, but he's scored at least once in each of the first three games of the campaign and heads into a Week 4 road showdown against the Bills with a spectacular 25-412-4 line on 35 targets.

Reed caught three of seven targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Saints.

Reed, who scored twice in Week 2, failed to secure a pair of would-be touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Despite those disappointments, though, the rookie rallied to make a fantastic, diving catch for a 30-yard gain to set up Green Bay's winning score. With a new high in single-game yardage to boot, Reed continues to flash playmaking potential, which should keep him regularly involved whether or not Christian Watson (hamstring) returns for Week 4's Thursday night game against the Lions.
