Thompson reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday according to the NFL transactions log.

Thompson was elevated from the practice squad prior to the team's Week 3 loss against the Vikings. He made his NFL debut exclusively on special teams and did not log any stats.

White reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday according to the NFL transactions log.

White was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Bengals. He saw some increased opportunity with Diontae Johnson (knee) inactive and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) forced to exit in the middle of the game. White took advantage by logging the first two receptions of his career, which went for 17 yards.

Davis caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's win over Washington.

While the game was a blowout win for the Bills, the fact that Davis only saw 23 offensive snaps is a bit of a concern. Perhaps the team was just taking it easy on Davis' minor ankle injury, but he's only received six targets through three games and has been on the field for 33 percent (Week 2) and 29 percent (Week 3) of the offensive snaps the last two games. With Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders and perhaps even tight end Dawson Knox all ahead of Davis in the passing game pecking order, the second-year wideout may be best off left on the bench for now.

Jefferson caught four of six targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 34-24 win over Tampa Bay.

The second-year wideout played 50 of 65 offensive snaps and is up to seven receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown through the first three weeks. Jefferson has been a fixture in the offense, but outside of his 67-yard touchdown catch Week 1, he's failed to move the fantasy needle. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford has clicked with fellow wide receiver Cooper Kupp to the tune of 25 receptions, 367 yards and five touchdowns already, and with Robert Woods and DeSean Jackson also on the depth chart, there might not be enough targets left over for Jefferson to be a consistent weekly contributor.

Woods caught three of six targets for 33 yards and rushed once for five yards during Sunday's 34-24 win over Tampa Bay.

It's been a slow fantasy start for Woods. He's caught just 11 passes for 124 yards and a single score through the first three games, whereas fellow receiver Cooper Kupp has exploded out of the gate with a 25-367-5 line. The disparity between the top two wideouts is all the more concerning because of the offseason change at quarterback, as the Kupp-Matthew Stafford connection has been legit. Additionally, the Rams have two other capable wide receivers in Van Jefferson and DeSean Jackson, and tight end Tyler Higbee also found the end zone against the Buccaneers on Sunday. While it's still a little too early to push the panic button on Woods, he's quickly becoming difficult to rely on in many fantasy settings.

Moore was signed by the Broncos off the Raiders' practice squad Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

After four seasons in Seattle, the 26-year-old found a new home in Carolina in the offseason, but the emergence of rookie Terrace Marshall caused the Panthers to include Moore among their final roster cuts. He quickly found employment with Las Vegas, and after waiting three weeks on the practice squad he's landed with a WR-needy team. Currently, Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is on injured reserve, and KJ Hamler is expected to join him after tearing his ACL on Sunday. Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick will continue to gobble up most of the targets from Teddy Bridgewater, but Moore finds himself in a place to produce as a No. 3 wide receiver once he's up to speed on the playbook.

The Buccaneers may place Miller on injured reserve due to a turf toe injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

With Antonio Brown (illness) and Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) sidelined Sunday against the Rams, Miller was poised for an expanded workload, which came to pass. After combining for 20 snaps on offense in the first two games of the season, Miller bumped up to 32 (of 73) in Week 3, resulting in two catches (on three targets) for 11 yards. Now that Miller is set to miss multiple games, Tyler Johnson could receive more run in the short term depending on how soon Brown can get through COVID-19 protocols.

Sherfield saw 13 of his 15 snaps come on special teams Sunday. He did not receive a target in a 30-28 loss to the Packers.

Sherfield has seen his role reduced incrementally over the first three games of the season, which has coincided with starter Brandon Aiyuk's steady increase in playing time. The 25-year-old has performed well in his limited role (three receptions, 32 yards and a touchdown), so his reversion to fourth on the depth chart has more to do with the coaching staff restoring faith in Aiyuk as opposed to Sherfield doing anything to lose his minor role. For now, Sherfield won't carry any fantasy value into Week 4 against Seattle. However, he has shown he can produce over the course of the preseason/early regular season, so he could gain fantasy value if one of the starters goes down to injury at some point this season.

Parker caught four of seven targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.

The 28-year-old finished a distant third in targets, as QB Jacoby Brissett targeted Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki a combined 25 times, mostly in the short passing game. Parker had a strong debut with four catches for 81 yards, but he's struggled in the absence of Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) with 42 receiving yards in both of the past two contests. The season debut of Will Fuller (personal) also likely cut into Parker's workload in the passing game, and it will be difficult to trust either of those options while Brissett remains under center for Miami.

Duvernay caught two of three targets for 22 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Lions.

This marks two weeks in a row that Duvernay has found the end zone, though this time it was a touchdown reception where he got wide open on the Lions defense. Duvernay has five targets through three games, on which he has recorded three catches for 28 yards and a touchdown. He's playing the third-most receiver snaps behind Sammy Watkins and Marquise Brown. Rashod Bateman's looming return could further reduce Duvernay's role. Baltimore travels to Denver in Week 4.
