Cooks caught three of five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Cooks operated as the Saints' No. 3 wide receiver, playing 51 of the team's 73 offensive snaps behind both Chris Olave (62) and Rashid Shaheed (54). The 31-year-old wideout has failed to record more than three catches in all three games this season, offering very little upside in New Orleans' struggling offense. Cooks is best left out of fantasy lineups heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Bills.

Wilson caught one of his two targets for five yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the 49ers.

Wilson recorded just one reception for the third straight game, and he now has just three catches for 21 yards and a touchdown on eight targets to start the season. The third-year wideout is not getting enough of an opportunity within the Arizona offense to be considered for fantasy purposes with any type of confidence. Wilson will look to get more involved in Week 4 when the Cardinals host the Seahawks.

Dotson caught one of his three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.

After finishing Week 1 with three catches for 59 yards, Dotson has just one reception in both of the last two weeks. He did play a season-high 49 offensive snaps against the Rams, likely due to the fact that the Eagles were trailing for most of the game, but that didn't result in a large number of targets.

The Vikings cut Jackson from the practice squad Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

Jackson failed to make the Vikings' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He opted to stay in Minnesota as a member of the practice squad, but the 28-year-old wideout will now look to join a team in need of depth at the position. Jackson last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Vikings, when he served in a special-teams role across three games.

The Vikings released Jones on Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

Jones played 31 snaps (25 on special teams, six on offense) through the first two games of the regular season but was inactive for the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday. The veteran wideout will now have the ability to sign with another team in need of a wide receiver who can also contribute on special teams.

The Cardinals removed Jackson (thumb) from injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jackson suffered a thumb injury during the Cardinals' preseason game against the Chiefs in early August, which led to him being placed on injured reserve. Now that he's been let go from IR, Jackson will look to sign with a team in need of depth at wide receiver once he has fully recovered from his injury. Jackson appeared in two regular-season games for the Vikings in 2024 and logged 12 snaps (10 on offense, two on special teams) between those two contests.

TeSlaa failed to catch either of his targets in Monday's 38-30 win the Ravens.

TeSlaa was limited to 14 offensive snaps in Week 3, which was three less than the week prior, but the two targets were a season high. The rookie wide receiver has caught two of four targets for 42 yards over the first three games of the year, and TeSlaa is still firmly below Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams on the WR depth chart despite the flashes of upside he's shown.

The Packers signed Keeney-James to the practice squad Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Keeney-James will take the spot on the Packers' practice squad roster vacated by Mecole Hardman, who was cut in a corresponding move. Keeney-James signed with the Lions in late April as an undrafted free agent but failed to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He'll work on learning the offensive playbook and prepare to be elevated to the active roster.

The Packers cut Hardman from the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Hardman elected to stay in Green Bay on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was not elevated to the active roster in any of the first three games of the season, and the 2019 second-rounder will now be on the lookout for a team in need of depth at wide receiver.

The Falcons signed Thompkins to the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Since entering the league in 2022 as an undrafted free agent, Thompkins has mostly served in a return role on special teams, having returned 33 kickoffs for 724 yards and 36 punts for 314 yards while adding 26 catches (on 39 targets) for 135 yards and one touchdown. Thompkins could be elevated to the active roster to serve in a return role for Sunday's game against the Commanders if Jamal Agnew (groin) is unable to play.
