Jones caught six of eight targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Cardinals.

Jones continues to be the favorite target of QB Trevor Lawrence, as he led the Jaguars' pass catchers in catches, targets and receiving yards again Sunday. The veteran wideout appears to have a solid floor despite Lawrence's and the offense's overall struggles, with at least five catches and 55 yards through each of the first three games of the season, along with a pair of touchdowns overall.

Hill secured five of seven targets for 56 yards and rushed once for 11 yards in the Chiefs' 30-24 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

It was mostly a rough go of it for the superstar speedster for the second consecutive week, but Hill's final line at least was an improvement over the 29 total yards he garnered Week 2 against the Ravens. His fumble was costly as well, even though it came late in the first quarter, as it occurred at the Chargers' 14-yard line following an eight-yard catch and led to Los Angeles' first touchdown of the day. Hill will look to bounce back from his pair of duds when he and the Chiefs travel to Philadelphia for a Week 4 battle against the Eagles.

Williams caught seven of his nine targets for 122 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Chiefs.

We might be in the midst of an all-time "contract year" season. The seventh overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Williams has one season with 10-plus touchdowns (2018) and one year with 1,000-plus receiving yards (2019), but it's fair to say the big-bodied target hasn't put it all together, never catching more than 50 passes in a given campaign. At this point, any reservations regarding Williams' talent have dissipated, as he clearly has emerged as a key threat in the red zone for quarterback Justin Herbert. Through three games this season, Williams has four touchdowns, all of which have occurred within the aforementioned area of the field. If Sunday's game-winning touchdown is any indication, he's even being targeted in critical situations. Given the pass-heavy nature of the Chargers offense, Williams is almost guaranteed to far exceed his ADP so long as he stays healthy.

Hopkins (rib) brought in three of six targets for 21 yards in the Cardinals' 31-19 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Hopkins' status was in doubt until inactives were announced 90 minutes before kickoff, and given his final numbers Sunday, he may have been best served sitting out the contest. The star wideout did tie A.J. Green for the second-most targets on the Cardinals, but he still limped to his lowest yardage tally since Week 6 of the 2017 season. Hopkins will aim to get healthier and back to his usual numbers in a tough Week 4 road divisional showdown against the Rams.

Goodwin was targeted once, but posted no stats in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

After collecting 45 yards in the season opener, Goodwin has just one catch for 12 yards in the two games since, and unless his role grows in the offense, he'll be a player who can post a zero in any given week.

Chark caught three of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 loss to Arizona.

Chark caught a 12-yard touchdown late in the second quarter and tied for second on the team in targets, but he didn't offer significant production in the passing game overall. The 25-year-old has only seven receptions for 154 yards through the first three games of the season, though he's salvaged some fantasy value with two scores. Chark may remain a touchdown-dependent option until QB Trevor Lawrence and the offense are able to find more consistency.

Beckham (knee) secured five of nine targets for 77 yards in the Browns' 26-6 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also rushed once for 10 yards and reportedly temporarily dislocated his shoulder before popping it back in, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Playing in his first game since suffering an ACL tear in October of last season, Beckham paced the Browns in receiving yards and targets while also recording a team-high 26-yard grab. Beckham's shoulder issue was clearly not much of a hindrance and is unlikely to be a problem heading into a Week 4 battle against the Vikings on the road. Beckham will draw a highly favorable matchup in that contest and should continue to see heavy volume with Jarvis Landry (IR-knee) out of action.

Mooney caught one pass for nine yards in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Mooney was second on the team with four targets, but with the Chicago offense completely dominated by the Browns, the team was unable to sustain drives, which contributed to his weak performance. After having been targeted at least seven times in each of his prior games, he'll likely bounce back in an excellent matchup next week against the Lions.

Chase caught four of five targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-10 win over Pittsburgh.

Chase found the end zone from 34 yards out with 37 seconds left in the first half on a play reminiscent of his Week 1 touchdown against Minnesota, which also came in the final minute before halftime. The rookie fifth overall pick scored again from nine yards out in the third quarter, giving him four touchdowns in his first three NFL games. With Chase and Joe Burrow having reignited the chemistry from their days together at LSU, the rookie receiver will be an appetizing fantasy play against the Jaguars on Thursday.

Robinson caught two passes for 27 yards in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Although Robinson led the team with six targets, Justin Fields was completely overmatched, and the offense was so bad that Robinson's 27 yards was the highest total on the team. With 35 or fewer yards in each of his first three games, it's fair to be concerned with his slow start, but with a long history of high-level performance in non-optimal situations, it's likely Robinson gets back on track as early as next week against the Lions.
