  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Saves day with late TD

    Moore recorded four receptions on five targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Cowboys. He added three rushes for seven yards.

    Moore continued to be overshadowed by Rome Odunze, but he also lost out to Luther Burden in the blowout win. Moore still finished second on the team in targets, but his longest gain went for only 12 yards as he was targeted exclusively in short areas of the field. He saved his day with a four-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter, his first trip to the end zone this season. Nevertheless, Moore has yet to see more than six targets in a game and has topped 50 receiving yards only once in three contests.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Scores again

    Pickens recorded five receptions on nine targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears.

    Pickens looked to be in for a very big performance after the departure of CeeDee Lamb (ankle), as he tallied a long catch of 21 yards and recorded a two-yard touchdown on a drive early in the second quarter. However, Pickens disappeared in the second half, with his only catch coming on a target from Joe Milton after the game was out of reach with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Though Pickens padded his line in garbage time, he has exactly 68 yards with a touchdown in each of his last two games.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Breakout continues

    Odunze recorded three receptions on seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-14 win over Dallas.

    Odunze made an immediate impact, hauling in a 35-yard touchdown on Chicago's first offensive possession. He was relatively quiet thereafter, though he still managed a pair of additional receptions for 13 and 14 yards. Odunze has found the end zone in every game this season while surpassing 60 yards in each of his last two contests.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Held to one catch

    Robinson recorded one catch on four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    The Giants' passing offense never got on track, limiting the production of the entire receiving corps. Robinson wasn't immune, turning in season-worst marks in every statistical category. Many of his targets were tightly contested -- including one that was picked off in double coverage -- and Robinson was hit hard over the middle on his lone catch of the night late in the fourth quarter. Positively, he should continue to maintain a significant role in the offense in Week 4 against the Chargers.

  • Tory Horton WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tory Horton: Finds end zone twice Sunday

    Horton brought in three of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints. He also returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown.

    Horton finished second on the Seahawks in targets, receptions and yardage on a low-volume day for the passing attack. The fifth-round rookie has generated five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns through three games. Horton's current role is too small to generate fantasy buzz heading into Thursday's primetime tilt against the Cardinals.

  • Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Leads KC in receiving Sunday

    Thornton finished with five receptions on nine targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Thornton was afforded another opportunity to post noteworthy numbers after Xavier Worthy (shoulder) was held out for another contest. The 25-year-old Thornton had a second touchdown grab taken off the board when replay review determined he was down before extending past the goal line. It will be hard to ignore Thornton's production in recent weeks, but it is worth noting again that his role could be reduced when Worthy eventually is cleared for action. The latter's next opportunity to return will come against the Ravens next Sunday.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Draws key penalty in SNF win

    Brown finished with four receptions on six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Brown's monster usage in Week 1 (16 targets) appears to have been an anomaly after the wideout averaged 5.5 targets in the two games since. The speedy receiver did draw a crucial pass interference flag on a deep shot in the waning moments of the first half that allowed the Chiefs to sneak in a field goal before the break. Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) remained out, with the former having a chance to return against the Ravens next Sunday. Brown will continue filling in as one of Patrick Mahomes' top options until both projected starters have returned to action.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Leading receiver on six targets

    Harrison brought in three of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the 49ers.

    Harrison wound up leading Arizona with 44 receiving yards in a game during which the team generated just 159 yards of offense through the air. The sophomore receiver suffered an uncharacteristic drop on a wide-open deep shot from Kyler Murray that could have resulted in a lengthy touchdown. Harrison continues to flash potential, only to disappear at times like he did against Carolina last week (2-27-0). The high-pedigree receiver should be treated as a boom-or-bust play against the Seahawks on Thursday.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Struggles in primetime

    Nabers recorded two receptions on seven targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    The Giants were unable to replicate their offensive success from Week 2, which led to a very disappointing showing for Nabers. Many of his seven targets came in highly contested situations on passes that were nearly uncatchable, though he was finally schemed two short receptions in the fourth quarter. Nabers' talent isn't in question, but performances like this will happen occasionally given the current state of the Giants' offense. Nabers did leave the game briefly in the second half after breaking up a potential interception, but he returned shortly afterward and finished the game.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Gains 42 yards Sunday

    Shaheed brought in four of six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to Seattle.

    Shaheed finished third in targets, receptions and yardage for the Saints in a one-sided affair Sunday. The 26-year-old has proven to be a solid fantasy option for those in deeper formats, averaging 4.7 receptions and 42.3 yards through three weeks. Expect Shaheed to continue providing a solid floor as New Orleans' No. 2 receiver in a road matchup against the Bills next Sunday.
