Brycen Tremayne WR | CAR
Panthers' Brycen Tremayne: Two grabs vs. Atlanta
Tremayne caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.
The Stanford product finished third on the Panthers in receiving yards Sunday, bringing his season total to five catches for 63 yards across three games. Tremayne ranked fourth amongst Carolina receivers in offensive snaps played (16), suggesting his role could diminish once Jalen Coker (quadriceps) returns from injured reserve. However, while Coker remains sidelined, Tremayne is expected to continue serving as a depth option in the Panthers' wide-receiver corps.

Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL
Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Makes first grabs of 2025
Flournoy caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
CeeDee Lamb (ankle) was knocked out of the game early, giving Flournoy an opportunity to get his first targets, and make his first receptions, of the season. Lamb seems to have avoided a serious injury, but if he ends up sitting out a Week 4 clash with the Packers. Flournoy could have some appeal in deep PPR formats or as a DFS punt play.

Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Season-high target volume in loss
Tolbert caught three of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
While none of his receptions went for longer than 12 yards, Tolbert's six targets were a season high as he took on a bigger role in the Cowboys' passing attack following the early exit of CeeDee Lamb (ankle). Tolbert's 6-40-0 line on 12 targets through three games is uninspiring, but if Lamb misses additional time, Dak Prescott could look to his fourth-year wideout more frequently in a Week 4 tilt against the Packers.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Big-play specialist Sunday
Turpin caught two of three targets for 64 yards, rushed for four yards on his only carry and added 77 yards on two kickoff and two punt returns in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
While he remains a threat as a return man every time he touches the ball, Turpin is also beginning to make an impact as a receiver, hauling in gains of 27 and 37 yards in Sunday's blowout loss. Over the last two games, he's produced a 6-111-1 line on seven targets, and Turpin's role in the Cowboys offense could increase further if CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is sidelined for a Week 4 clash with the Packers.

Dareke Young WR | LV
Seahawks' Dareke Young: Impresses as returner
Young caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints. He also returned two kicks for 92 yards.
Young's a big, speedy wide receiver, and although he hasn't put it together on offense, he may have carved out a role as a returner moving forward. The 2022 seventh-round pick also consistently serves as a gunner on special teams.

Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Still no targets
Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.
Sam Darnold threw the ball just 18 times in the blowout win, so Bobo's chances to get into the rotation were slim. He's the clear No. 4 wide receiver and won't have much fantasy value unless there's an injury ahead of him on the depth chart.

Xavier Hutchinson WR | HOU
Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Maintains limited role
Hutchinson caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.
Hutchinson's playing time was not impacted by the season debut of Christian Kirk, who missed Weeks 1 and 2 due to hamstring injury. While Hutchinson's snap volume remains healthy -- 61.9 percent Sunday, 62.9 for the season -- he's not a high-priority option for C.J. Stroud. Through three games, the wideout has seven receptions on eight targets for 75 yards.

Jaylin Noel WR | HOU
Texans' Jaylin Noel: Reduced snaps on offense
Noel caught his lone target for four yards, returned two punts for 11 yards and two kickoffs for 53 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Jaguars.
Noel was the wideout most impacted by the season debut of Christian Kirk, who missed the first two weeks with a hamstring injury. Noel played nine snaps, his fewest in the first three games. He did, however, maintain a role in the return game with a healthy Braxton Berrios inactive Sunday.
-
Jayden Higgins WR | HOU
Texans' Jayden Higgins: Playing time remains stable
Higgins caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.
The season debut of Christian Kirk had little impact on Higgins' workload, as the rookie was on the field for 44 percent of the offensive snaps, right at his season average through three games. That was the positive. The negatives are that Higgins has seen just one target each of the last two weeks, and that quarterback C.J. Stroud needs to elevate his game. Houston's pass attack was held under 200 net passing yards, accounting for yards lost via sack, for a second consecutive week.

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | ATL
Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Posts 36 scrimmage yards in win
Zaccheaus caught three of four targets for 24 yards and added 12 rushing yards on his only carry in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
In Week 1, Zaccheaus posted 42 receiving yards, but he has just 36 yards over the last two games. Still, the veteran has at least four targets in each contest, and as long as he retains the No. 3 receiver role, he could continue to post limited yardage most weeks.
