Waddle caught two of seven targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams. He also rushed once for 14 yards and caught a two-point conversion.

The highlight of Waddle's night came on the two-point conversion after Denver's first touchdown in the third quarter. Bo Nix dropped a pass just over a defender's helmet and Waddle came down with it while getting both feet down in the corner of the end zone to cut Denver's deficit to 16-8. Waddle tied for the team lead with seven targets, matching the totals of Courtland Sutton and RJ Harvey, who were two of the five players that topped Waddle's total in receiving yards Sunday night. The prized offseason acquisition is off to an inconsistent start with the Broncos ahead of a Week 4 trip to San Francisco, sandwiching a 138-yard outburst in Week 2 between two games in which he recorded a combined 12 receiving yards.

Adams caught seven of 13 targets for 137 yards in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Broncos.

Adams continued to thrive as Matthew Stafford's top target in the absence of Puka Nacua (hip). During Nacua's two-game absence, Adams has compiled 15 catches for a whopping 332 yards and two touchdowns. Adams led the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions during the 2025 regular season and is showing no signs of slowing down at age 33 early in the 2026 campaign. He is poised to maintain a prominent role in Week 4 against the Eagles, though the Rams are optimistic that Nacua could be cleared to return by then.

Downs caught five of 11 targets for 77 yards during Sunday's 19-17 win over Houston.

Downs garnered the most targets on the team, narrowly edging out tight end Tyler Warren (10), while his 77 receiving yards led the way for Indianapolis. With Alec Pierce (heel) sidelined for the foreseeable future, Downs appears to have taken command as the team's No. 1 option at wide receiver. Over three games to open the regular season, the wideout has reeled in 14 of 24 targets for 186 yards, and he'll have a strong chance to secure his first touchdown of the season in Week 4 against the Commanders.

Hurst caught one of three targets for a 40-yard touchdown during Sunday's 23-16 loss to Minnesota.

Hurst made the most of his one catch, notching his first career touchdown on a 40-yard deep ball from quarterback Baker Mayfield in the first quarter. The wide receiver has now caught six of 13 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown over the first three regular-season games. Mayfield suffered a thumb injury in the fourth quarter and seems likely to miss action moving forward, so Hurst and the rest of Tampa Bay's offense may have a tough time getting into a rhythm with backup quarterback Jalon Daniels likely at the helm in Week 4 against the Packers.

Harris caught six of seven targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to Buffalo.

Harris led the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards in the loss, all of which represented new career highs for the second-year pro. The wide receiver has now reeled in 10 of 16 targets for 149 yards over three games to open the regular season, and he appears to be on track to be a pivotal member of the team's passing attack in 2026.

Hollins caught six of nine targets for 87 yards during Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jaguars.

Hollins saw nearly twice as many targets as the next closest option DeMario Douglas (5), and his 87 yards were his highest total in a regular-season contest since Week 10 of the 2025 campaign. With A.J. Brown (ankle) on injured reserve, someone will have to take the reigns as the Patriots' top option at wide receiver, and Hollins certainly showed he's capable of handling a larger workload in Week 3.

Kupp caught four of five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.

Kupp was able to take advantage of the return of quarterback Sam Darnold in Week 3, connecting with Darnold for a seven-yard score with 2:55 left in the fourth quarter. The wide receiver doubled his season total in targets Sunday, and he has now caught eight of 10 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown over three games so far in his second season with Seattle.

Wilson caught three of six targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals.

Wilson came out of the gates hot Sunday, securing a 38-yard touchdown from quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the team's opening drive of the game. The wide receiver led the team in targets in Week 3, and he has now registered exactly six targets in each of the team's first three contests this season. Wilson has reeled in 11 of 18 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown so far this year.

Allen caught six of nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Texans.

Allen was able to take advantage of the absence of Alec Pierce (heel) in Week 3, matching his season-high six receptions while notching his first touchdown of the year in the second quarter, reeling in a six-yard score from quarterback Daniel Jones. With Pierce set to miss extended time, Allen will have a chance to carve out a significant role for himself as a reliable option for Indianapolis.

Samuel turned two carries into 14 yards and scored an 80-yard touchdown during Sunday's 36-30 win over Arizona.

Samuel started off his day with a bang, receiving a lateral from fellow wideout Mike Evans during a hook-and-ladder play by San Francisco in the first quarter, taking off down the sideline for an 80-yard score. Samuel failed to catch a pass and didn't garner a target for the first time in three games this year, but he still found a way to make the most of limited opportunities. Evans suffered a rib/oblique injury in the second quarter of the victory, and if he's sidelined moving forward, Samuel will stand to operate as the team's No. 1 option at wide receiver.
