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.

Meyers caught seven of eight targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-6 win over New England.

Meyers led the team in targets, most notably reeling in a 10-yard score from quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the second quarter. The touchdown was the second of the year for the wide receiver, and he has now caught 10 of 11 targets for 132 yards over three contests in 2026. Parker Washington has established himself as Lawrence's favorite target, but Meyers has found himself on equal footing with fellow wideout Brian Thomas as an unpredictable fantasy asset early in the season.

Pickens caught seven of 11 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to Baltimore.

The fifth-year wideout led the Cowboys in targets while setting new season highs in targets, catches and receiving yards, as he begins to shake off a slow start to the campaign. Pickens is still searching for his first TD of 2026, or even his first gain of 20-plus yards, but he'll look to continue building momentum in a Week 4 road trip to Houston.

Lamb caught seven of eight targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens. He also caught a two-point conversion.

George Pickens led the Cowboys in targets with 11, but it was Lamb who paced the team in receiving yards while the two star wideouts each tied for the team lead in receptions. This was the first game in 2026 during which Lamb failed to score a TD, but he has produced back-to-back performances of over 100 yards. He'll take a 20-309-3 line on 25 targets into a Week 4 road trip to Houston.

Harrison brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Harrison was a distant third in receiving yards and tied for the same slotting in targets for the Cardinals on the afternoon. Despite the modest stat line across the board, Harrison's Sunday was certainly an improvement on his Week 2, when he was blanked and saw only one target. While his season-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals offer some solace, they fall short of satisfying frustrated fantasy managers who banked on a comeback campaign from the 2024 first-round pick. Harrison still appears to clearly be behind Michael Wilson and Trey McBride in the Cardinals' pass-catching hierarchy heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Wilson secured 11 of 17 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Wilson's afternoon was reminiscent of several of those in his 2025 campaign, as the veteran receiver garnered a bulk of Jacoby Brissett's attention in his short- and mid-range role while leading the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Marvin Harrison was a bit more involved Sunday with three catches for 40 yards on five targets, but it appears clear Wilson and Trey McBride have far and away the most chemistry with Brissett. Wilson will take an 18-163-1 line on 31 targets in a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Egbuka recorded five catches (on nine targets) for 62 yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings.

Egbuka turned his highest target count in a game this season into his second-most receiving yards (behind Week 1's 63 such yards), but the Buccaneers' passing attack again was inconsistent under the direction of QB Baker Mayfield (17-for-34 for 217 yards, one TD and one interception). Mayfield suffered a dislocated thumb on his right throwing hand on the team's second-to-last possession, so if the veteran signal-caller needs to miss any time, Egubka then would be on the receiving end of passes from undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels, who didn't complete any of his three attempts Sunday.

Addison hauled in five of nine targets for 90 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-16 victory at Tampa Bay.

Serving as the Vikings' de facto No. 1 wide receiver after Justin Jefferson (ankle) exited in the first half and didn't return, Addison parlayed the opportunity into his productive performance of the young campaign. In particular, Addison connected with QB Kyler Murray for a 41-yard TD (his first of the season) with less than five minutes left in the second quarter. Head coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune afterward that Minnesota isn't too worried about Jefferson's health concern, so even if he's able to suit up next Sunday versus the Dolphins, Addison could hold more sway in the offense if Jefferson isn't 100 percent.

Thomas secured his only target for eight yards in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Thomas' minimal role in the Jaguars' air attack was glaring on a day when Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes. All of Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, Brenton Strange, Josh Cameron and LeQuint Allen outpaced Thomas with at least one aspect of their receiving lines, the latter has a modest 7-88-0 line on 12 targets over the first three games of the campaign. Given the complementary role he seems to have fallen into, Thomas' prospects are generally dim heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Bengals next Sunday.
