Tolbert caught three of five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

The third-year wideout was on the other end of Dak Prescott's first TD pass of the game, a 15-yard strike midway through the fourth quarter as the Cowboys tried to rally from a 28-6 deficit. Tolbert has out-produced Brandin Cooks in back-to-back games, and through three weeks the younger player has a 10-136-1 line on 16 targets compared to Cooks' 8-75-1 line on 15 targets. Tolbert could continue to push for the team's No. 2 receiver role Week 4 against the Giants.

McCloud caught two of three targets for 17 yards and rushed once for 20 yards during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned one kickoff for 28 yards.

McCloud played 95 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps but finished with season lows in targets, receptions and receiving yards. However, he somewhat salvaged the night with a 20-yard run. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has gotten McCloud involved in the running game in back-to-back games, and the wideout appears to have solidified himself as the clear No. 3 option behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney. However, Kirk Cousins has averaged only 19 completions and 209 passing yards per game thus far, so there isn't much to go around until Atlanta's offense starts clicking on all cylinders.

Turpin caught all three of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

He also added one yard on his lone carry. Turpin's first offensive TD of the season came late in the fourth quarter on a 16-yard pass from Dak Prescott as the Cowboys furiously tried to rally from a 21-6 halftime deficit. With Brandin Cooks struggling, Turpin's role on offense could continue to increase, but his main value to Dallas comes in the return game, as he has 165 total return yards through three games, including a Week 1 punt-return touchdown.

Whittington caught all three of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 27-24 victory against San Francisco.

Whittington's snap share actually decreased compared to Week 2, with the sixth-round rookie only on the field for 22 snaps on offense. The former Texas Longhorn managed to be productive with his three targets, including a 15-yard catch to open the second half. With Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell and Tyler Johnson operating as the top three wideouts with Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) out, Whittington may struggle to earn enough volume to stay fantasy relevant. A Week 4 showdown against a Bears defense allowing just 165 passing yards per game is next up for Whittington and the Rams.

Thielen (hamstring) said after Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders that he will undergo an MRI on Monday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Thielen was forced out of Sunday's win shortly after connecting with new starting quarterback Andy Dalton on a 31-yard touchdown in the first half, and he was subsequently unable to retake the field. He finished with three catches for 40 yards and one score. The results of Thielen's MRI could help clear up his availability for Week 4 against the Bears.

Miller secured both of his targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

Miller wasn't targeted over the first two weeks of the regular season, but his snap count increased against the Chargers, as he was on the field for 37 offensive snaps after playing no more than 17 in either of his first two appearances of the season. Although the 2019 sixth-rounder had an encouraging performance in Sunday's win, it appears as though he'll have an inconsistent role in the Steelers' offense this year.

Mingo caught three of his four targets for 18 yards and rushed once for two yards during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

The second-year wideout saw increased opportunities with Adam Thielen (hamstring) missing the second half of Sunday's contest. Mingo played the second-most snaps (49) of any Panthers wide receiver in Week 3, which bodes well for his fantasy value if Thielen is forced to miss more time. Andy Dalton taking over as Carolina's top signal-caller changes the Panthers' offense entirely, and Mingo will have the opportunity to continue building rapport with his new quarterback in Week 4 against the Bengals.

Wicks was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

Wicks caught three passes for 26 yards and a score in Week 2, but he has now sandwiched that showing between a pair of goose eggs. He has finished fourth among Packers wideouts in snaps in all three games this season, and while his upside will get a boost when starting quarterback Jordan Love (knee) returns, he remains in a complementary role heading into Week 4's clash with the Vikings.

Doubs was targeted twice and caught one pass for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

Doubs had a respectable showing in Week 2 with the Packers leaning on the run game behind backup quarterback Malik Willis, but he could not repeat that performance in similar surroundings Sunday. Starting signal caller Jordan Love (knee) could return in Week 4, which would be a benefit for Doubs and all of Green Bay's pass catchers. Either way, though, the Packers are spreading out the opportunities -- eight receivers or tight ends played at least 11 snaps Sunday -- which makes it tough to trust Doubs on a week-to-week basis.

Hutchinson did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota in Week 3.

Hutchinson had another target that would have resulted in a 16-yard catch for a first down, but it was wiped out by an illegal formation penalty. Through three weeks, the second-year wideout has one catch on three targets for three yards. He and Robert Woods are getting similar playing time thus far as depth behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell.
