Smith-Njigba caught 10 of 14 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.

Having Sam Darnold back under center instead of Drew Lock did nothing to slow Smith-Njigba's momentum. The superstar wideout recorded his third straight game with more than 120 receiving yards while hauling in his fifth and sixth TDs of the season, catching a one-yard toss in the second quarter and an 11-yard strike in the fourth. Smith-Njigba will take an eye-popping 27-405-6 line on 36 targets into a Week 4 clash at home against the Chargers.

Mims (foot) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Rams, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Despite being limited on all three of Denver's Week 3 practice reports, Mims will miss a second contest in a row due to a foot issue. His next chance to play is next Sunday at San Francisco. Kolbe Katsis likely will handle return duties in Mims' absence.

Bech suffered a broken forearm in Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to go on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Bech's broken forearm isn't expected to be season-ending, but the wide receiver will face an absence of at least four weeks if he's placed on injured reserve, which would require an official transaction from the Raiders. He didn't record a catch Sunday prior to being ruled out against the Saints.

Nacua (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game in Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Nacua has been listed as a non-participant on each of the Rams' last five injury reports as he deals with a hip injury that head coach Sean McVay has termed "soreness in his groin" that's unrelated to the psoas discomfort that he dealt with in training camp. McVay told Barshop on Friday that if Nacua doesn't suit up Sunday, he likely will be back in action Week 4 at Philadelphia. While Nacua misses a second consecutive contest, fellow WR Davante Adams again will have unfettered access to targets from QB Matthew Stafford, with Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith the others available at the position.

Moore brought in six of 10 targets for 67 yards in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Making his return from an early Week 2 exit due to a shoulder injury, Moore jumped right back into the swing of things by leading the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran wideout has made an impact in both of his non-injury-shortened games with Josh Allen, producing an 11-167-1 line on 18 targets. Moore figures to continue commanding the majority of Allen's attention in a Week 4 home matchup against the Patriots next Sunday.

Williams caught all four of his targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.

The fifth-year wideout has watched Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown dominate the Lions' offense to begin the season, as that duo has combined for 11 total touchdowns -- including four in Sunday's win -- while Williams is still looking to make his first trip to the end zone in 2026. Williams will take a 10-137-0 line on 17 targets into a Week 4 tilt on the road against the Panthers.

McConkey secured four of five targets for 66 yards in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Justin Herbert's top target turned in a solid stat line in the Chargers' third straight loss to open the season, but it still wasn't enough to net Los Angeles its first win. McConkey finished second in receptions and receiving yards while slotting in third in targets on the afternoon for the Bolts, but through three contests, he sports a modest 12-183-1 line on 15 targets. It doesn't get any easier for the Chargers in Week 4, as they pay a visit to the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday afternoon.

St. Brown caught four of eight targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.

The star wideout tied Jaymyr Gibbs to lead the Lions in targets, but St. Brown did little with his volume aside from a four-yard TD strike from Jared Goff in the second quarter. It was still St. Brown's fifth score of the season in three games, to go along with 23 catches for 228 yards on 35 targets. He'll likely get plenty of looks from Goff again in Week 4 on the road against the Panthers.

Metcalf brought in three of five targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Metcalf once again put together a very modest receiving line, but the veteran wideout managed to deliver his first touchdown of the season on a six-yard grab late in the third quarter. Metcalf's high-water mark through three games is the four-catch, 40-yard tally he managed in Week 1 against the Falcons, but with Aaron Rodgers and the passing attack as a whole looking much more cohesive Sunday, there's some hope for an uptick in production during a Week 4 road matchup against the Browns on Thursday night.

Evans (rib) is dealing with a rib strain after exiting Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Evans was knocked from the 49ers' Week 3 matchup after taking a hit to the midsection from Arizona safety Budda Baker in the second quarter and eventually was ruled out. He'll undergo a full evaluation Monday, after which a prognosis likely will become clearer. Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge are the team's available wide receivers with Evans unable to return.
