Humphries caught one of four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 43-21 loss to the Bills.

The veteran slot man tied for second on the team in targets on a day where Buffalo ate up most of the possession and Taylor Heinicke attempted only 24 passes. Humphries and Logan Thomas are tied for second on the team with 14 targets through three games, but the former has managed just 71 scoreless yards, while the tight end has 117 yards and two TDs. Humphries at least gets a good matchup Week 4, facing the Falcons in Atlanta.

Waddle caught 12 of 13 passes for 58 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.

He was Jacoby Brissett's favorite option on the afternoon, but Waddle wasn't able to do much with his team-leading volume. The rookie's longest catch went for only nine yards, and he got tackled for a safety on a botched wide receiver screen late in the first quarter. With Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) out for at least two more games, Waddle may need to rely on his ability to gain yards after the catch to post stronger numbers Week 4 at home against the Colts.

Evans recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 106 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Rams.

Evans paced the team in receiving yards and was tied with Giovani Bernard as the only other pass catcher to command double-digit targets. Evans provided a number of explosive gains, including a reception of 20 yards and two catches that went for 17 yards. After managing only 24 yards Week 1, Evans has since managed 13 receptions, 181 yards and two touchdowns across his last two games combined. Next, he and the Buccaneers will travel to New England for a Week 4 matchup against the Patriots.

Brown finished without a catch on two targets and took one carry for a loss of four yards in Sunday's 43-21 loss to Buffalo.

The rookie third-round pick hasn't done much through his first three games, despite handling the No. 2 receiver role -- at least in terms of snaps -- while Curtis Samuel (groin) has been on injured reserve throughout September. Samuel is eligible to return Week 4 at Atlanta, but it won't come as any surprise if he misses another game, which could allow Brown to make another start. The rookie has caught just four of his 12 targets for 32 yards.

Godwin recorded six receptions on seven targets for 74 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Rams. He also added one rush for two yards and a touchdown.

With Antonio Brown (COVID-19) sidelined and Tom Brady taking to the air 55 times, Godwin's relative lack of volume is a bit disappointing. However, Godwin still made the most of his opportunity, posting 10.6 yards per target and recording big gains on catches of 21 and 17 yards. With his rushing score, he now has found the end zone in each game this season. He's also displayed a strong floor as a receiver, posting no fewer than 62 yards through three games. In Week 4, Godwin and the Buccaneers will travel to New England to take on the Patriots.

Cephus secured his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.

Cephus drew a pass interference penalty on a second pass that was sent his way, but he and most other Lions receivers took a backseat to Kalif Raymond, who was the lone receiver in the starting lineup and ultimately saw a team-leading 10 targets. It was a disappointing but not totally surprising result for Cephus investors who may have been trying to take advantage of the receiver's ascent into a key role with Tyrell Williams (concussion) on IR. However, with Williams set to miss at least the next two games, Cephus will have more chances to take advantage of an expanded role.

Kupp recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 96 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Buccaneers.

Kupp continued his exceptional start to the season. He now has five receiving touchdowns in three games, with his pair Sunday coming from two and 10 yards away, respectively. Kupp also provided a few big plays, recording receptions of 22, 20 and 17 yards. While Kupp won't be able to maintain this touchdown pace throughout the season, he's clearly developed a rapport with Matthew Stafford and has earned double-digit targets in every contest. Kupp should be for in another positive offensive game environment Week 4 when the Rams take on the Cardinals.

Moore has been diagnosed with a concussion after sustaining a head injury in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Moore was evaluated for a head injury late, and the examination has revealed a concussion. The rookie wide receiver will need to clear concussion protocol in order to play Week 4 against the Titans as the Jets try to pick up their first win of the season.

McLaurin brought in four of seven targets for 62 yards in Washington's 43-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

McLaurin unsurprisingly paced Washington in targets while tying Logan Thomas for the team lead in receptions. The speedy third-year wideout's line matched his Week 1 tally, with his 11-catch, 107-yard, one-touchdown effort versus the Giants in Week 2 the outlier thus far through three weeks. McLaurin will look to get back to that type of production when Washington tangles with the Falcons on the road Week 4.

Kirk secured seven of eight targets for 104 yards in the Cardinals' 31-19 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Kirk extended what has been a strong stretch of play to open the campaign with Sunday's effort, which featured a season high in receptions, receiving yardage and targets. He's looked like a steadier performer, albeit over a modest sample, thus far this season now that he's no longer a starter and likely facing a lower quality of cornerback on many of his routes. Kirk will look to put together a successful encore to his Week 3 performance in a tough Week 4 road battle against the Rams.
