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.

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.

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.

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.

Woods caught three of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over Jacksonville.

Woods and Nico Collins took a back seat to rookie Tank Dell, who led Houston wideouts with five catches on seven targets for 145 yards and a touchdown. Over the first two weeks, it was Woods and Collins pacing the wide receivers, but it looks like Dell is in position to overtake them. Woods, remains the target leader with 25 through three games, followed by Collins (23) and then the surging Dell (21).

Tillman played 11 snaps and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans in Week 3.

That made three consecutive weeks without a target for Tillman, who has averaged 10 snaps per game. He sits on the second tier of Cleveland's wideout depth chart along with David Bell (four targets, 31 snaps) and Marquise Goodwin (four targets, 30 snaps).

Bell played nine snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 27-3 win over Tennessee.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson focused his attention on Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore in what was his best game since joining the Browns. Any looks left over for other wideouts went to Donovan Peoples-Jones, as Marquise Goodwin and Cedric Tillman joined Bell among the untargeted. Barring injury ahead of him on the depth chart, Bell's role doesn't seem likely to increase.

Goodwin played five snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans. He had one carry for one yard.

Goodwin went untargeted for the first time this season, but he went without a catch for a third consecutive week. The 10-year veteran also saw a season-low snap count. It's clear Goodwin is not going to be a high-volume target unless there's an injury above him on the depth chart. When he has been targeted -- four times through the first two games -- it's been on deep balls, but Donovan Peoples-Jones is also fighting for a field-stretching role in the Browns' passing game.

Peoples-Jones caught three of four targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over Tennessee. He also returned two punts for 11 yards.

He had his best game of the season, but he remains well behind Amari Cooper (eight targets) and Elijah Moore (nine) in the pecking order at wideout. Peoples-Jones had the Browns' second-longest play of the game, a 29-yard reception in the third quarter -- his first of more than 20 yards in 2023 -- on the drive that produced the team's second touchdown of the game. He also had a 12-yard grab on a third-and-five during that same drive. Peoples-Jones has caught five of 10 targets for 68 yards over the first three weeks.

Robinson caught all four of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-18 win over the Raiders.

Robinson doubled his production from a week ago, but it still resulted in an unsavory fantasy line. The 30-year-old has struggled to fit in with a developing Pittsburgh offense, even with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) getting hurt in Week 1. Since Johnson landed on IR, Robinson has seen roughly equal snap counts to second-year wideout Calvin Austin, but the latter has been more productive and scored a 72-yard touchdown in Sunday's win. Robinson should be considered a low-end fantasy play against Houston in Week 4.
