  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Tops century mark in win

    Jefferson caught nine of 11 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Seahawks.

    The second-year wideout led the Vikings in catches, targets and yards in his best performance yet this season. Jefferson is averaging 10 targets a game through three weeks with the production to match, and he'll remain the most dangerous weapon at Kirk Cousins' disposal heading into a Week 4 clash with the Browns.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Quiet in loss to Vikings

    Lockett caught all four of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.

    After two huge games to begin the season, Lockett turned in a far more pedestrian line Sunday as it was DK Metcalf's turn to shine instead. At least one of Russell Wilson's two elite receivers is likely to pop in any given week, but the fact that Lockett has seen five targets or less in two of three games so far makes him the more volatile of the duo heading into a Week 4 clash with the 49ers.

  • Tim Patrick WR | NYJ

    Broncos' Tim Patrick: Works as deep threat

    Patrick recorded five receptions on five targets for 98 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Jets.

    Patrick flipped roles with Courtland Sutton, with Patrick serving as the primary deep threat in Week 3. He connected with Teddy Bridgewater for gains of 31, 27 and 24 yards, which accounted for the majority of his production. Patrick was held back from more significant volume by game script as Bridgewater attempted only 25 passes throughout the contest. The Broncos may be forced to the air more in a Week 4 matchup against Tennessee, and Patrick should carry a significant role in the offense so long as Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is sidelined.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Limited in blowout win

    Sutton recorded five receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Jets.

    Sutton couldn't follow up his impressive Week 2 performance, though that was largely because of game script. Teddy Bridgewater attempted only 25 passes as the Broncos led comfortably for much of the game. Sutton did the majority of his work in short areas of the field, as his longest catch of the day went for 14 yards and served as his only reception that went for 10 or more yards. Despite the down performance, Sutton continues to play a major role in the offense, and he could see more opportunity in a Week 4 matchup against Baltimore.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Jets' Corey Davis: Inefficient against Broncos

    Davis recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 41 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Broncos.

    Davis commanded his highest target total as a Jet but couldn't make much of the opportunity. His longest reception of the day went for only 13 yards, and he recorded only one other catch that went for double-digit yards. Since recording 97 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1, Davis has combined to log seven receptions for 49 yards combined across his last two games. It's possible that Davis' production improves as he and rookie Zach Wilson have more time to work together, though it will be difficult to trust the veteran wideout in the immediate future given his current level of production. He will draw a matchup against his former team when the Jets take on the Titans in Week 4.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Packers' Davante Adams: Monster game Sunday night

    Adams corralled 12 passes (18 targets) for 132 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-28 win over San Francisco.

    The patented Aaron Rodgers-Davante Adams connection carried the Packers' offense all evening, highlighted by a perfect 25-yard strike that put Mason Crosby in range for a game-winning kick as time expired. The superstar wideout exited the game briefly after taking a hard shot to the head that left him on the ground for a couple of moments, but he was able to return in time to play a pivotal role on the final drive. After a forgettable Week 1 for the entire Green Bay offense, Adams has racked up a whopping 20 receptions, 253 yards and a touchdown over the last two contests.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Busts out in Week 3 loss

    Metcalf caught six of nine targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.

    The third-year wideout opened the scoring on the afternoon with a 10-yard grab from Russell Wilson in the first quarter, setting the stage for Metcalf's first 100-yard game of the year. He led Seattle in catches, yards and targets, and he might need to come up big again in Week 4 in a tough road matchup against the 49ers.

  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Hurts hamstring Sunday night

    Valdez-Scantling (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against San Francisco.

    Valdez-Scantling pulled up while running a deep route, but the Packers caught a break when fellow wide receiver Davante Adams returned to the game on the next play after Adams had gone to the medical tent due to a big hit over the middle. Prior to getting hurt, MVS was in the midst of a strong bounce-back performance, with three catches for 59 yards and a touchdown on four targets.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Hits pay dirt against Miami

    Renfrow caught five of six targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Dolphins.

    Six different Raiders caught between three and five passes and saw between five and seven targets as Derek Carr spread the ball around very effectively, but Renfrow was the only one of the group to get into the end zone as he fought his way through traffic after the catch on a 12-yard TD in the third quarter. The slot receiver has caught at least five passes in three straight games to begin the season, and Renfrow stands a good chance of extending that streak Week 4 in a potential barnburner against the Chargers on Monday night.

  • Raiders' Bryan Edwards: Big-play threat in OT win

    Edwards caught three of five targets for a game-high 89 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Dolphins.

    The second-year wideout didn't get many looks from Derek Carr, but he made his catches count, hauling in passes of 23, 32 and 34 yards, with the latter two helping to set up both of the Raiders' field goals in OT. Late-game heroics are beginning to become a habit for Edwards, and he could get an opportunity for more big receptions Week 4 in an AFC West showdown with the Chargers.
