Mooney caught two passes on three targets for 20 yards and logged a nine-yard carry during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Mooney has logged two catches in each of the first three games of the regular season, and his 95 receiving yards are third-most on the Giants behind Isaiah Likely (124) and Malik Nabers (96). The Giants will stay home for Week 4 against the Cardinals, whose defense has given up the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Ayomanor caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Giants.

Ayomanor didn't make much noise in the defeat, but it's notable that he finished with the second-most offensive snaps (48) among Tennessee's wideout corps. Meanwhile, veteran Calvin Ridley dropped considerably to a 33 percent snap share and went without a catch for the second time through three weeks. Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson are the clear top WR options for the Titans, but Ayomanor may be making a move up the pecking order to the No. 3 role. With that said, Tennessee's air attack has so far appeared to be among the worst in the league, so none of the team's pass catchers makes for a particularly appealing week-to-week fantasy asset.

Ridley didn't catch his only target Sunday in a loss to the Giants.

For the first time this season, Ridley was not among the Titans' top three wideouts in terms of offensive snaps. Carnell Tate (53 snaps) led the WR corps in that category, with Elic Ayomanor (48 snaps) and Wan'Dale Robinson (38 snaps) also both ahead of Ridley (20 snaps). That could be an indication that Tennessee is turning toward the younger Ayomanor over the veteran Ridley, who has caught just two passes for 35 yards through three contests on the campaign.

Fields caught both of his targets for 19 yards during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Fields' 44 snaps on offense were actually second-most among Giants wide receivers behind Malik Nabers (50), though the former finished fourth on the team in targets behind Nabers (six), tight end Isaiah Likely (five) and running back Cam Skattebo (four). Fields has logged two catches in each of the first three games of the regular season, but the rookie third-rounder and the rest of the Giants pass catchers will take on the Cardinals in Week 4, with Arizona's defense ranking second-to-last in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.

Vele caught three of six targets for 39 yards Sunday in a loss to Las Vegas.

Tyler Shough had another big day at quarterback for the Saints, with 160 of his 255 passing yards going to the combination of No. 1 wideout Chris Olave and top tight end Juwan Johnson. Vele finished third (behind that duo) in both targets (six) and receiving yards (39). The third-year wideout has been locked into a key role in the Saints' passing game, and through three contests he's registered 15 catches on 22 targets for 172 yards and one touchdown.

Williams caught one of his two targets for 21 yards and returned four kicks for 95 yards over 63 total snaps in the Jets' 31-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Williams played 90 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps in the contest alongside an additional eight special-teams snaps as a returner. The wide receiver has stayed on the field longer due to the injuries to Adonai Mitchell (finger) and Omar Cooper (ankle). If Mitchell must miss another week, Williams should see similar playing time as the No. 2 option in the Week 4 matchup with the Bears.

Douglas caught one of his five targets for 38 yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Douglas played 60 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps in the loss. The sole ball the wide receiver was able to haul in went for a 38-yard gain, marking quarterback Drake Maye's longest pass of the night. Douglas continues to be a threat out of the slot for a struggling Patriots offense.

Bell caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

With Caleb Douglas (ankle) inactive and De'Von Achane suffering a torn ACL in the first half against Kanas City, Bell was one of the biggest beneficiaries from both a playing time and opportunity perspective. His seven targets were tied for second on the team with Greg Dulcich behind Malik Washington's 10. If Douglas needs to miss more time, Bell could again see elevated snaps Sunday against Minnesota.

Washington caught five of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs. He rushed two times for five yards.

Washington became the focal point of the offense following De'Von Achane's season-ending torn ACL in the first half. Moving forward, Washington needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats after seeing a combined 12 opportunities against Kansas City. On the season, he's recorded 12 catches for 152 yards on 23 targets. He's also handed three rushing attempts for nine yards.

Thornton caught both of his targets for 22 yards in the Chiefs' 24-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Thornton saw less attention from Patrick Mahomes than in the Chiefs' Week 2 overtime win over the Colts. Thornton saw 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the contest, down from 59 percent and 68 percent in the prior weeks. The lack of downfield targets and attention to the No. 3 wide receiver could be a result of a strong run game that ran out the clock against a trailing opponent.
