Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Leads pass catchers in loss
London secured five of eight targets for 55 yards in the Falcons' 30-0 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
On a day when the host Panthers delivered a shocking thumping to the Falcons, London managed to cobble together a serviceable, albeit uninspiring, fantasy day. The talented wideout led Atlanta in both receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets, and the yardage tally tied London's season high. While Michael Penix took a step back Sunday, London will aim to help the second-year signal-caller atone during a Week 4 home matchup against a Commanders defense that's been prone to allowing chunk plays through the air early this season.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Over 100-yard mark in loss
Collins secured eight of 11 targets for 104 yards in the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
The big-bodied receiver was able to persevere through a ragged overall day for Houston's air attack, finishing as the Texans' leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Collins also found the end zone for the second time in as many games when he recorded a 50-yard touchdown grab on what appeared to be a blown coverage by Jacksonville in the fourth quarter. However, he also committed a critical fumble at the Jaguars' 21-yard line with just under four minutes remaining following a 10-yard catch, leading to Jacksonville's game-winning touchdown. Collins will take a 14-181-2 line on 25 targets into a Week 4 home date against the Titans next Sunday.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Three grabs in Sunday's loss
Meyers caught three of four targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.
After seeing double-digit targets in each of the first two games of 2025, Meyers saw his volume crater in Week 3 as Tre Tucker instead got more of Geno Smith's attention. Meyers has still topped 60 receiving yards in three straight contests en route to a 17-228-0 line on 26 targets, and there could be plenty of volume to go around in Week 4 against a Bears defense that has been one of the worst units in the NFL to begin the year.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Targeted 15 times
Nacua recorded 11 receptions on 15 targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles. He added one rush for six yards.
Nacua dominated opportunity amongst the Rams' receiving corps, accounting for 15 targets on 34 total pass attempts for the team. It wasn't his most efficient performance, though he still managed long gains of 20, 15 and 12 yards to top 100 yards from scrimmage for the third stright game to begin the campaign. While Davante Adams has been impactful in the Rams' offense, Nacua looks likely to remain the top producer most weeks.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Five catches in Week 3 win
Jefferson brought in five of seven targets for 75 yards in the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
The Vikings obviously didn't need to do much through the air after a certain point in the lopsided victory, but Jefferson managed to still put together a respectable fantasy day. The perennial Pro Bowler tied T.J. Hockenson for the team lead in receptions while also setting the pace in receiving yards and targets and working with Carson Wentz as his quarterback. Jefferson has yet to eclipse the 100-yard mark through three games this season, but he's accrued an impressive 8-156-0 line over the last pair of contests heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Steelers in Ireland next Sunday.

Stefon Diggs WR | NE
Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Three grabs against Pittsburgh
Diggs caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers.
The veteran wideout continues to have a quiet start to his Patriots tenure. Diggs has yet to reach 60 receiving yards in a game or score a touchdown through three weeks, and Sunday's three targets represented his lowest volume yet. The 31-year-old simply may not be the same player he was prior to the ACL injury that cut short his 2024 campaign with the Texans, but Diggs will look to continue building chemistry with Drake Maye in Week 4 against the Panthers.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Injures ankle Sunday
Lamb is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to an ankle injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Prior to sustaining the injury, Lamb wasn't targeted in the contest. In his absence, George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy are the Cowboys' available WRs versus Chicago.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Serviceable numbers in rout
Chase secured five of six targets for 50 yards, rushed once for nine yards and lost a fumble in the Bengals' 48-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Chase was part of the collateral damage of a miserable day for the Bengals on both sides of the ball. The aggressive Vikings defense capitalized on Jake Browning's presence under center to collect two interceptions, three sacks and three fumble recoveries, but Chase still managed to tie for the team lead in receptions and also set the pace in receiving yards and targets. The star wideout's production will naturally be hard to trust on a week-to-week basis for as long as Joe Burrow (IR, toe) remains out, but Chase will undoubtedly remain heavily involved in an unenviable Week 4 road matchup against the Broncos on Monday night, Sept. 29.

Calvin Austin III WR | NYG
Steelers' Calvin Austin: Finds end zone again
Austin caught three of five targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.
The third-year wideout hauled in a 17-yard toss from Aaron Rodgers with a little over two minutes left in the fourth quarter to break a 14-14 tie. Austin has quickly earned the veteran QB's trust, and after scoring five TDs in 34 games through his first two NFL seasons, he already has two in the first three contests of 2025, part of an 8-126-2 line on 15 targets. Austin will look to stay productive in Week 4 against the Vikings.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Steelers' DK Metcalf: Hauls in TD against Pats
Metcalf caught three of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.
The veteran wideout continues to build chemistry with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, bringing down a 12-yard jump ball early in the second quarter -- a score that moved Rodgers past Brett Favre into fourth place on the NFL's career passing TD list. Metcalf has found the end zone in back-to-back games, but he isn't yet seeing the target volume as a Steeler that he was accustomed to in Seattle. He'll take a 10-135-2 line on 17 targets into a Week 4 clash with the Vikings.
