Montgomery rushed twice for one yard and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Patriots.

Montgomery got two touches to Le'Veon Bell's 22. Bell will continue to be a workhorse while healthy, so Montgomery's only value lies in being a handcuff.

Berrios caught two of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Patriots.

Berrios actually led the team in targets and receiving yards, as quarterback Luke Falk failed to reach 100 yards on the day. He won the punt returner job in New York in part because the team believes Berrios is also capable of chipping in offensively, and he's starting to flash some of that ability heading into the team's Week 4 bye after being blanked from scrimmage in the first two games.

James caught two passes on three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Steelers.

James saw most of his action from the slot again Sunday, but he was still limited in terms of production. The 24-year-old has just four catches through three games, although one of them (a 39-yard touchdown) showcased his big-play ability. James should continue to be worked in sporadically along with his usual return duties after Trent Taylor (foot) was transferred to injured reserve earlier this week.

Samuel had three catches on four targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over Pittsburgh.

Samuel's production settled in between his poor Week 1 and strong Week 2 outputs. The rookie still led all wide receivers in yardage on a day where Jimmy Garoppolo spread the ball evenly among his wideouts. Even in his strong showing last week, Samuel still finished fourth in terms of offensive snaps, making it tough to rely on the receiver until he can carve out a larger role, possibly later this season. The 49ers have a bye week coming up, but will face the Browns on Monday Night Football in Week 5.

Goodwin corralled both of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Steelers.

Goodwin continues to see only a handful of targets on a weekly basis (eight through three games), and he was unable to break free for a touchdown Sunday as he did in Week 2. Coach Kyle Shanahan has been deploying a four-man rotation between Goodwin, Dante Pettis, Deebo Samuel and Richie James early on, and Jimmy Garoppolo has been spreading the ball out relatively evenly through the team's 3-0 start. Goodwin possesses the speed to be a deep threat, but the lack of targets makes him risky to start on a week-to-week basis. His next chance to make an impact comes against the Browns in Week 5 after the 49ers' bye.

Pettis caught four passes on five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over Pittsburgh.

Pettis appeared to be on his way to another forgettable performance before making his first touchdown grab of the season in the waning moments of a tight contest -- and while 20 yards is nothing to write home about, the score certainly boosted the wideout's confidence, as evidenced by the energy he showed on the sideline after the big grab. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been spreading the ball evenly among his WRs, a formula that has resulted in three victories but has also created angst among fantasy owners trying to figure out who will be the top receiver not named George Kittle in any given game. Expect Pettis to be involved in some form against the Browns on Monday Night Football following the 49ers' upcoming bye week.

Woods caught three passes (eight targets) for 40 yards and also rushed twice for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over Cleveland.

Woods was held to a disappointing receiving total for the second consecutive week, but he did see his targets shoot back up to eight after getting just two looks against the Saints. Cooper Kupp and Brandin Cooks shined in this one, and quarterback Jared Goff seems to look in their direction before going to Woods. The veteran wideout does have a unique quirk in that he usually receives a carry or two per game to pad his stats a bit, but it seems he has fallen to third in the pecking order for targets despite technically sitting at second on the depth chart. Woods' owners will hope he gets more involved in a favorable matchup against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Cooks caught eight passes (12 targets) for 112 yards and also added an eight-yard rush in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Browns.

It was the Cooks & Kupp Show for the Rams on Sunday, as both receivers garnered 12 targets each and both eclipsed the century mark. It was the latter who hit paydirt twice, but Cooks' output -- and heavy target share -- will certainly satisfy fantasy owners. The big-play wideout will have a favorable matchup next Sunday against a Buccaneer secondary that was just gashed for 300-plus yards by rookie Daniel Jones this week.

Kupp hauled in 11 of 12 passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Browns.

Kupp eclipsed the century mark for the second consecutive week, and this time he added two touchdowns to boot. The Rams' slot man has picked up right where he left off before suffering a torn ACL last season, proving to be completely in sync with quarterback Jared Goff, especially when the quarterback needs to find him in the end zone (six touchdowns in eight games last season). Kupp is looking the part of top fantasy receiver through three games, averaging 7.7 receptions on 10.3 targets for 89.3 yards per game early on this year. A matchup against a pedestrian Buccaneer secondary should prove fruitful for the entire Rams' passing unit in Week 4.

Washington caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to San Francisco.

For a third straight game Washington managed just two receptions. Fantasy owners hoping he might benefit from having Mason Rudolph -- his quarterback from Oklahoma State -- under center were disappointed in Week 3 as Washington was outperformed by rookie Diontae Johnson (3-52-1). Washington will look to rebound on Monday night against Cincinnati's beleaguered defense.
