Woods caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

Woods was targeted for the first time this season. The veteran is purely a depth option behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell, as is second-year wideout Xavier Hutchinson.

Slayton underwent X-rays on his thumb following Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns, but they came back negative, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Slayton was briefly forced out of Sunday's contest early in the fourth quarter due to the thumb injury, but he returned with 7:40 remaining and finished the afternoon with a 1-7-0 receiving line on two targets while logging 81 percent of snaps. The wideout might have been playing through some discomfort the rest of the game, but with X-rays coming back negative, Slayton would seem to have a good chance at being available for the Giants' Week 4 matchup with the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Tillman caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.

The ball Tillman didn't catch was costly; he dropped a nicely placed pass from Deshaun Watson on fourth down, which turned out to be the Browns' final offensive play. Tillman was filling in for Amari Cooper, who was shaken up on the previous play. If Cooper has a significant injury, that would mean more playing time for Tillman, who has three catches on five targets for nine yards through three weeks.

Moore caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.

For the second time in three games, Moore was held to fewer than 20 yards. His one productive effort was in Week 2's win over the Jaguars, when the Browns showed a more balanced offense, though far from a highly functioning unit. That side of the ball is a growing concern early on. Cleveland hasn't yet cracked the 20-point mark, and head coach Kevin Stefanski appears reluctant to establish the ground game behind a banged-up offensive line. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has also disappointed. Moore has eight fewer targets and 58 fewer yards through three weeks than he had at this time in 2023, but that was expected after the Browns added Jerry Jeudy during the offseason. Perhaps an equalized run/pass mix and a better performing quarterback could result in Moore being a reliable and viable fantasy wideout.

Bateman recorded three catches on four targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over Dallas.

Bateman tied with Zay Flowers to lead the team in targets, and the duo put up remarkably similar numbers. Bateman ultimately was on the better end of things thanks to a 13-yard touchdown reception just before halftime after settling into a wide open area of Dallas' zone defense. Bateman has not topped five targets in a game this season, so even if Baltimore is forced to take to the air more, Bateman does not have significant volume secured.

Tucker recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.

Tucker was targeted four times during garbage time drives in the final quarter, but the Raiders also seemed to prioritize getting the ball to him early in the game. His biggest play of the contest came late in the first quarter on a 54-yard catch deep down the middle of the field, and he also chipped in a touchdown to conclude the Raiders' final offensive drive. In more typical game scripts, Tucker is likely to serve as the Raiders' primary deep threat while seeing only a few targets per game.

Legette recorded two catches on three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

Legette wasn't targeted in Week 2, so this performance was a step in the right direction. However, it was less impressive in the context of the rest of the offense, as Diontae Johnson racked up 122 yards while Adam Thielen (hamstring) caught a long touchdown before exiting. The Carolina offense looks significantly improved with Andy Dalton under center, which should continue to give Legette opportunity to produce as the season progresses.

Mooney hauled in all eight of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to Kansas CIty.

Mooney kept his momentum rolling following last week's 3-88-1 receiving line with a flawless receiving performance in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The newly-signed Falcon brought his season numbers up to 12-169-1 through three weeks, making him a definite deep-league option while likely enticing managers in shallower formats currently viewing Mooney on the waiver wire. Another strong fantasy game from the former Chicago wideout against the Saints next Sunday would likely generate even more fantasy buzz as the NFL inches toward the quarter point of the season.

Meyers recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.

The stat line suggests that Meyers took a significant step forward in opportunity, though how he got to those numbers is less inspiring. He had just one catch for zero yards at the start of the fourth quarter. With the Raiders down 33-7, Meyers went on to record a 13-yard touchdown and another lengthy reception of 16 yards -- the latter of which came from backup quarterback Aidan O'Connell -- to account for a significant amount of his production. Meyers will maintain a role in the offense moving forward, but it's likely to be a more peripheral role behind both Davante Adams and Brock Bowers.

London finished with six receptions (on nine targets) for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

London joined Bijan Robinson as the pair of young Falcons to cash in on scoring plays in a one-score loss to last year's champs. The No. 1 wideout led Atlanta in targets and yardage while grabbing the only touchdown thrown by Kirk Cousins on Sunday. London has seen his production steadily increase in each week to begin the 2024 campaign, highlighting a potential breakout in a divisional matchup when the Falcons host the Saints on Sunday.
