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.

Smith recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.

The Eagles were forced into a more aggressive offensive game plan after they fell behind by three scores early in the fourth quarter. Smith and A.J. Brown both benefited, with the former chipping in as a reliable target closer to the line of scrimmage. Smith also provided the game-winning touchdown on a four-yard out with just under two minutes remaining in the game. Smith's production will remain volatile, but he should have strong performances when the Eagles are forced to take to the air more often.

Wicks brought in two of four targets with 21 yards in the Packers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Wicks retained a minor role in the Packers' first full game without Jayden Reed (IR, collarbone/foot), actually seeing a two-target drop from Week 2. Wicks has at least two catches in each of his first three games, but he's yet to top 44 receiving yards in any contest as the Packers prepare to head to Dallas for a Week 4 matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday night.

Mooney secured four of 11 targets for 44 yards in the Falcons' 30-0 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

While it wasn't a very efficient performance, Mooney did draw a team-high number of targets and finished tied for second in receptions while also slotting in as the runner-up in receiving yards. Mooney has multiple receptions in each of his first two games after missing Week 1 due to a shoulder injury, and he'll next face off with the Commanders in a Week 4 home matchup.

Carter returned two punts for 15 yards and one kickoff for 27 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers.

Carter was removed from last week's game due to a concussion and missed the first two practices during the preparation for Week 3. He's returned six kickoffs for 145 yards and five punts for 56 yards through three weeks.

Franklin had two receptions on four targets for eight yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.

Franklin followed up the best performance of his young career against the Colts in Week 2 with an absolute stinker against the Chargers. The 2024 fourth-round selection still finished in a tie for second in team targets with Marvin Mims, but both youngsters paled in comparison to No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton's monster 6-118-1 receiving line Sunday. Franklin still provides some good upside in a soft matchup against the Bengals next Monday if managers can look past his dud in Week 3.

Davis did not play on offense and returned one kickoff for 28 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Green Bay.

Davis was called up from the practice squad for the day, giving the offense a sixth wideout, but he was one of two receivers who didn't get on the field with the offense. He may have been added so that the Browns wouldn't feel the need to expose Jerome Ford or Isaiah Bond on special teams.

Kupp had two receptions on three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over New Orleans.

Kupp reverted to his low-usage role after commanding nine targets in a Week 2 win over Las Vegas. The veteran wideout finished third in targets, receptions and yardage for the Seahawks behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba (5-96-1) and Tory Horton (3-32-1). Perhaps Kupp can get more involved in Week 4 against a familiar NFC West opponent in the Cardinals on Thursday Night Football.

Thrash caught two of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers.

Thrash, a fifth-round draft pick in 2024, was hoping to make a leap in his second season, but he's no better than fourth on the depth chart. He opened the season competing with Isaiah Bond as the No. 3, but Thrash played just 12 snaps Sunday compared to Bond's 43. Thrash has four catches for 18 yards through three weeks.

Pittman recorded six catches on six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans.

Daniel Jones distributed targets fairly evenly, as four Colts pass catchers were targeted at least four times. Pittman led the way in every statistic, highlighted by a 20-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter and a 17-yard gain later in the same quarter. While Pittman has the potential to be the leader of the receiving corps, targets have been relatively evenly distributed through three weeks, so Pittman will need to rely on efficiency to deliver strong statistical lines in most weeks.
