Robinson compiled two catches for 17 yards on a pair of targets Sunday versus the Chargers.

Robinson once again played the second-most snaps of any wide receiver Sunday but hasn't really drawn much in the way of targets thus far. Through three games, he has amassed a total of eight targets, and it seems unlikely things will change on that front in the near future with at least three or four other options ahead of him in the pecking order for looks in the passing game.

Wilson caught two of four targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-21 win over the Eagles.

The Cowboys put up plenty of points in the rout, but it wasn't the usual suspects getting the scores through the air as tight end Dalton Schultz caught two of Dak Prescott's three TD passes, with Wilson snagging the third. The receiver benefitted from Prescott's ability to create, as on a fourth and goal from Philadelphia's two-yard line in the fourth quarter, the QB bought time and scrambled to his right until Wilson was able to get open at the back of the end zone. The 25-year-old has only seen six targets through two games since Michael Gallup (calf) landed on IR, catching four of them for 37 yards plus Monday's TD, and his snaps and role in the offense haven't actually increased from the Cowboys' opener. That makes Wilson a risky fantasy option in Week 4 against what has been a stingy Panthers defense.

Jones caught his lone target for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win against the Dolphins.

Jones continues to out-snap No. 5 receiver Willie Snead, but the former has drawn just three total targets from quarterback Derek Carr through three games. Expect a similar role for Jones in Week 4 against the Chargers as Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow remain healthy.

Grant was not targeted during Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Grant dealt with an ankle injury leading into Week 3, which may explain in part why he only handled two offensive snaps versus Las Vegas. On the other hand, the debut of Will Fuller may have simply deprived Grant of any real opportunities to handle skill-position reps. The speedster did lock down his usual role as Miami's top return man, but as long as he's limited almost entirely to special teams, he will remain off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of formats.

Toney caught two of three targets for 16 yards Sunday against the Falcons.

With Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard suffering hamstring injuries, Toney could be in line for more work. The first-round rookie has dealt with nagging injuries himself, cutting into his readiness to make an early-season impact. Toney profiles best as a slot receiver, so he would have a clearer path to deliver fantasy value if Shepard in particular misses time.

Darden hauled in his only target for no gain, returned two kickoffs for 48 yards and ran back one punt for four yards in the Buccaneers' 34-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Darden was active for the first time in his NFL career with Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) sidelined, and as expected, the majority of his touches came while filling the latter's returner roles. Darden logged only three snaps from scrimmage overall, but if he's active again Week 4 against the Patriots, he may have a chance for at least a slight bump in opportunity with Scotty Miller (toe) projected to be unavailable.

Moore recorded two catches on two targets for one yard, one carry for three yards and two punt returns for 27 yards during Sunday's 31-19 win in Jacksonville.

Through the first two games of his career, Moore led the Cardinals with 13 targets -- a feat in itself given a receiving corps that features DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Christian Kirk -- and he turned them into 11 catches for 182 yards and one touchdown. With Hopkins (3-21-0 on six targets) not his usual self Sunday after missing every practice last week due to a rib injury, Moore had a chance to produce even better numbers, but instead Green and Kirk put together 100-yard outings. Moore could have a tough time bouncing back this coming Sunday against a Rams defense that has conceded 7.5 YPT to wide receivers this season, eighth best in the NFL.

Smith caught three of six targets for 28 yards in Monday night's 41-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Smith had a long gain of 19 yards in the first half, but he opened the second by slipping on a target from quarterback Jalen Hurts, allowing college teammate Trevon Diggs to intercept the ball and run 59 yards for a touchdown. Despite the score getting lopsided at that point and the Eagles consequently being forced to pass, Smith still couldn't muster much production, failing to top 30 yards for the second straight week. The 10th overall pick in the 2021 draft will now strive for improvement in Week 4 against a Kansas City defense that has struggled so far this season.

Cooper caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Monday night's 41-21 win over the Eagles.

Cooper, who exploded for 13 catches, 139 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1, has now failed to top 30 yards while making just three grabs in back-to-back outings. Although fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb caught the same amount of passes on one less look Monday, his 66 yards trumped Cooper, who also saw tight end Dalton Schultz lead the Cowboys in all major receiving categories. While game flow surely played a part -- as Dallas comfortably led for most the second half -- and Cooper did bruise his ribs last week, the receiver should nonetheless be eager to increase his output in the Week 4 matchup against a Panthers defense that just lost top rookie cornerback Jaycee Horn (foot) to injury.

Lamb caught all three of his targets for 66 yards in Monday night's 41-21 win over the Eagles.

Lamb made his presence felt with a deep ball off play-action early on, going 44 yards to the one-yard line on Dallas' opening drive. The second-year wideout made a couple grabs afterward as well, but it surprisingly was tight end Dalton Schultz who led the Cowboys in all major receiving categories. Still, with at least 65 yards in each of his first three games, Lamb heads into Week 4's matchup against an improved Panthers defense -- albeit one without top rookie cornerback Jaycee Horn (foot) -- with a promising recent track record.
