Thielen caught 11 of 14 targets for 145 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Seahawks.

With veteran Andy Dalton at quarterback instead of rookie Bryce Young (ankle), Carolina's passing game erupted, and Thielen produced his highest single-game receiving yards total since Week 10 of the 2017 campaign, when he was in his prime with Minnesota. The 33-year-old wideout capped his performance with a 15-yard TD catch inside the final two minutes of the game as the Panthers tried to stage a late comeback. Thielen had already begun to establish some chemistry with Young, so his fantasy value might be less affected than some of his teammates by who's throwing him passes in Week 4, but his ceiling will be much higher if Dalton's under center again for a potential revenge game against the Vikings.

Moore had three receptions on six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-10 loss to Kansas City.

Moore cashed in his first touchdown with the Bears on the team's final offensive drive of an ugly loss Sunday. Garbage-time scores count all the same in fantasy, giving the wideout his second consecutive quality line after going for 104 yards last week. He did leave a chunk of yards on the table on a deep pass attempt from Justin Fields that was dropped by the normally sure-handed receiver. Moore will draw a tough matchup against shutdown corner Patrick Surtain when the Bears face the Broncos next Sunday.

Moore recorded nine receptions on nine targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans.

The Browns seemed to prioritize getting Moore involved, as he was targeted three times on the opening drive and was also given a carry. He went on to do most of his damage in the first half, which largely had to do with game script, as the Browns attempted only 13 passes in the final two quarters. Moore now has 25 targets across three games, though that's resulted in only 128 yards.

Pittman recorded nine catches on 11 targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime win over the Ravens.

Pittman led the team in receptions and yards while also drawing double-digit targets for the third consecutive game to begin the season. His stat line was modest given the volume, though he still accounted for long gains of 34 and 13 yards. As his stat lines have indicated to this point, Pittman doesn't have the highest upside, but he has a locked-in role in the Colts' offense and is particularly trustworthy in PPR-scoring formats.

Lazard caught three of five targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.

Lazard finished nine receiving yards shy of Garrett Wilson's team-best total while tying Tyler Conklin for second behind Wilson in both targets and catches. Despite being locked in as the Jets' No. 2 wide receiver, Lazard has failed to reach 50 yards in a game heading into a Week 4 home game against the Chiefs.

Flowers recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts.

Flowers was the primary beneficiary of Odell Beckham's (ankle) absence, and he doubled the target number of any other pass catcher in Baltimore's offense. He was limited to a modest output due to his role, as he was targeted in only short areas of the field and turned in a long gain of only eight yards. However, that shouldn't be a big concern moving forward as Flowers entered the game with three receptions of more than 20 yards and one of more than 40. In addition, Rashod Bateman (hamstring) suffered an injury toward the end of the game, which could result in even more opportunity for Flowers heading into a Week 4 matchup against a stingy Cleveland defense.

Parker caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.

Parker had the third-most receiving yards on the team behind Pharaoh Brown (71) and Kendrick Bourne (46) in the low-scoring win. While he's locked into a starting role on the outside, Parker has a low target floor in a run-heavy New England offense. He'll look to bounce back in Week 4 against a Dallas secondary that recently lost Trevon Diggs (knee) for the season.

Thomas gathered in six of nine targets for 50 yards during Sunday's 18-17 loss against the Packers.

After being targeted twice during the first half, Thomas caught his final six targets from backup quarterback Jameis Winston, who had to step in during the third quarter for injured starter Derek Carr (shoulder). All six of the veteran wideout's receptions came during the fourth quarter as the Saints tried to defend the 17-0 lead they carried over from the first half. Thomas was a consistent short-to-intermediate target for Winston while second-year wideout Chris Olave helped stretch the field vertically. Olave finished as New Orleans' leading receiver in terms of yards (104) and targets (11), though he was targeted one fewer time than Thomas in the second half. Carr is believed to be dealing with an AC sprain in his right shoulder, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, which shouldn't be season-ending but could cause him to miss time moving forward. Should Winston step in as QB1 over the next few weeks, Thomas could stand to benefit while seeing more targets as a short-yardage security blanket behind Olave.

Collins brought in two of three targets for 34 yards in the Texans' 37-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Collins finished tied with Robert Woods for a distant second in receiving yards to Tank Dell for the afternoon, a far cry from the 13-226-1 line the third-year receiver had put up on 20 targets over the first two weeks. Despite Sunday's downturn, the chemistry Collins has already demonstrated with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud is sure to serve the duo well more often than not, and the big-bodied wideout will look to bounce back at the expense of the Steelers in a Week 4 home matchup.

Wilkerson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Raiders.

Wilkerson played 28 offensive snaps in Week 2 against the Bills but failed to draw a target. Tre Tucker and DeAndre Carter will provide depth at the wide receiver position behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Hunter Renfrow.
