Johnson caught two of three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

For the second consecutive week, the 27-year-old received increased snaps with the Jets' first-team offense while filling in for the injured Josh Reynolds (hamstring). Johnson tied Allen Lazard for the second-most targets among New York receivers, trailing Garrett Wilson's 13 looks. Regardless of whether Reynolds returns in the Jets' Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins, Johnson is expected to continue playing a depth role in the team's wide-receiver corps.

Douglas, who logged 29 of 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught two of five targets for seven yards.

Douglas was out-snapped by fellow WRs Kayshon Boutte (56 snaps, two catches), Mack Hollins (46 snaps, four catches) and Stefon Diggs (39 snaps, three catches). Through the Patriots' first three games, Douglas has caught five of his 13 targets for 13 yards and a TD and added four yards on one carry. Based on his production so far, Douglas is a speculative fantasy option at best unless he picks up the pace.

Smith caught both of his targets for two yards during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

With Josh Reynolds (hamstring) sidelined for the Jets' Week 3 loss, Smith played a career-high 48 offensive snaps. However, his increased workload didn't translate to production, as the rookie from Georgia was targeted just twice. Through his first three NFL games, the 23-year-old has posted three catches for 10 yards and one carry for minus-10 yards. The Jets' wide receiver corps is largely unproven outside of Garrett Wilson, so Smith's role could continue to grow in the Jets' Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins.

Wilson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

Wilson was held without a target for the second time in the first three weeks of the regular season, and he was on the field for just 17 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 3. Although Wilson appears to be third on the Steelers' depth chart at wide receiver, he's unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role as long as DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin stay healthy.

Moore caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

The veteran wideout went without a target and played just 23 offensive snaps through Carolina's first two games this season. However, with Xavier Legette (hamstring) inactive in Week 3, Moore saw a significant uptick in usage and logged a team-high 53 snaps among Panthers wide receivers. This large snap share didn't translate to production, as Carolina leaned heavily on the run while protecting a big lead. Moore could see increased opportunities again if Legette is sidelined in Week 4, when the Panthers travel to New England.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
