  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Another 149 yards

    Jefferson recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 149 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Chargers.

    Jefferson has posted nearly identical lines in all three games this season, gaining between 149 and 159 yards in each contest. His production Sunday was powered by four catches of more than 20 yards, the highlight of which came on a 52-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter when he caught a short pass over the middle of the field before out-racing the defense to the end zone. Jefferson briefly stayed down in the field late in the game, but it appeared to be just a cramp, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. He should be ready to play in Week 4 against Carolina, but his practice status early in the week will be worth monitoring.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Scores winning touchdown

    Doubs caught five of 12 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Saints.

    Doubs capped Green Bay's dramatic comeback with an eight-yard touchdown with under three minutes remaining. In addition to that score -- which marked Doubs' third in as many weeks -- the second-year wideout led the Packers in receiving yards and targets. Whether or not Christian Watson (hamstring) is fit to return for Thursday night's game against the Lions in Week 4, Doubs should maintain solid value as one of quarterback Jordan Love's favorite options, particularly on jump balls near the goal line.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Records two receptions in loss

    London caught two of six targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 20-6 loss versus Detroit.

    London finished fourth on the team in targets and third in receiving yards. It was certainly a disappointing performance after the wideout submitted a 6-67-1 line versus Jaire Alexander and the Packers in Week 2. You can't blame this effort on Atlanta's run-heavy scheme, as Desmond Ridder attempted 38 passes. London's skill set is up there with the elite pass catchers in the NFL, but his usage hasn't been conducive to consistent production in fantasy.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Tops 100 yards in blowout win

    Diggs caught eight of 12 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 37-3 win over Washington.

    Diggs set up a field goal with a 30-yard catch on the opening drive and ultimately topped 100 receiving yards for the second time in three games. Buffalo's No. 1 receiver has 25 catches on 32 targets for 279 yards and one touchdown through three weeks heading into a Week 4 visit from fellow star wideout Tyreek Hill and the AFC East rival Dolphins.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Chargers' Mike Williams: Suffers knee injury Sunday

    Williams exited Sunday's game at Minnesota due to a knee injury.

    Williams was on the receiving end of a screen pass from Justin Herbert late in the third quarter that he took for 11 yards. However, Williams took a hit at the end of the play and remained on the turf for a spell. He eventually was carted to the locker room, after which the nature of the injury was revealed. Williams had seven catches (on eight targets) for 121 yards and one touchdown at the time of his departure.

  • Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Healthy scratch in Week 3

    St. Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs.

    St. Brown will continue to await his season debut, as Sunday qualifies as his third healthy scratch in as many games to open the season. The speedster's next opportunity to see his first action of 2023 comes in a Week 4 home matchup against the Broncos next Sunday.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Suits up against Chicago

    Toney (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Toney, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited session Friday, will give it a go Sunday and barring any in-game setbacks will look to build off the five-catch, 35-yard effort he turned in last weekend against the Jaguars. Also in the mix for Kansas City's Week 3 WR targets are Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson, Rashee Rice and Justyn Ross. In that context, Toney (who was held to one catch in Week 1) profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option versus Chicago.

  • River Cracraft WR | WAS

    Dolphins' River Cracraft: Done for Sunday's game

    Cracraft (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    The severity of the injury Cracraft suffered in the second quarter still isn't fully known, but with the Dolphins taking a 22-point lead into halftime, the team may just be opting to play it safe with the 28-year-old receiver. He'll finish the day with one catch for 13 yards on one target.

  • Tylan Wallace WR | CLE

    Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Unlikely to return Sunday

    Wallace (hamstring) was ruled doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Wallace did not record a statistic before exiting Sunday's game with a hamstring issue. The third-year wideout has been primarily limited to a role on special teams so far this season; however, with Odell Beckham (ankle) already inactive, the Ravens will be left with four available wideouts for the time being.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Suiting up Sunday, as expected

    Metcalf (ribs) is active for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

    The Seahawks managed Metcalf's practice reps during Week 3 prep due to sore ribs, but he was able to return as a full participant Friday before the team deemed him questionable to play this weekend. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported early Sunday that Metcalf was expected to suit up, and indeed that has come to pass. There's no indication that Metcalf will be limited by the injury as he looks to build upon the 9-122-1 line on 11 targets he's accrued through two contests this season.
