Moore logged three catches on seven targets for 31 yards while adding 134 yards on five kickoff returns during the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.

Moore has seen his playing time on offense steadily increase over the first three games of the regular season, and his 34 snaps on offense Thursday were third-most among wide receivers behind Matthew Golden (54) and Christian Watson (53). Not only were Moore's seven targets third-most among Green Bay wide receivers, they were also a career high for the 2022 second-rounder. The Packers' ground game has struggled due to injuries on the offensive line and the absence of Josh Jacobs (personal), which could mean a higher scoring floor for Moore and the rest of Green Bay's pass catchers.

Branch caught one pass on two targets for seven yards while logging an 18-yard punt return and a 22-yard kickoff return during the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

The rookie third-rounder has contributed on both special teams as a returner and on offense as a rotational pass catcher. He's up to three catches (on four targets) for 21 yards and 110 return yards through three regular-season games. His involvement on offense hasn't been as high as other rookie wide receivers, but the Falcons appear committed to using Branch in multiple ways to utilize his speed and explosiveness.

Zaccheaus brought in both of his targets for nine yards and returned one punt for four yards during the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Both of Zaccheaus catches occurred in the second quarter on the same drive, which ended with a 44-yard field goal by Nick Folk. Zaccheaus is up to four catches (on six targets) for 17 yards through three regular-season games while operating as a depth option in the passing game, though Thursday's win may have been the start for a more explosive offense for the Falcons with Michael Penix under center, rather than Tua Tagovailoa, Cooper Rush (coach's decision) or Jack Strand (coach's decision). The Falcons will travel to New Orleans to face the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

Dotson caught one pass on three targets for 11 yards during the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Dotson's three targets from Michael Penix were actually second-most on the Falcons behind Drake London (10), with Dotson finishing tied for the third-most receiving yards on the team. He's played over 60 percent of offensive snaps in each of the first three games of the regular season but has a 4-41-0 receiving line (on 11 targets) to show for it. That said, Dotson's scoring floor could steadily increase as the season progresses and Penix gets more reps under his belt. The Falcons will stay on the road for a Week 4 NFC South tilt against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

The Broncos elevated Katsis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Katsis was likely elevated as a backup returner in case Marvin Mims (foot) is unable to suit up for Sunday's contest. The undrafted free agent out of Northern Arizona is set to suit up for his first NFL game but may be inactive if Mims is all set to play.

The Giants elevated Berrios from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Giants have elected to expend Berrios' last practice squad elevation after calling upon the wide receiver for three consecutive weeks. The 30-year-old remains the team's primary kick and punt returner, receiving no targets but recording 81 kick-return yards over the past two games. Berrios will need to be signed to the active roster to participate in any more regular-season games for the Giants after Week 3.

The 49ers placed Robinson (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Robinson was carted off the field due to a right ankle injury during San Francisco's Week 2 win against the Dolphins, after which coach Kyle Shanahan relayed that the wide receiver likely suffered a high-ankle sprain. On Monday, Shanahan said that Robinson was facing a recovery timeline of 3-to-6 weeks, so this move to injured reserve doesn't come as a surprise. Robinson will be first eligible to return to action Sunday, Oct. 25 in Atlanta, but with all of Christian Kirk (calf), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Robinson on IR, the 49ers will be going with Mike Evans (hip), Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge at wide receiver this Sunday against the Cardinals.

The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Jones was elevated for the Seahawks' Week 1 win over the Patriots, playing 17 snaps on special teams and none on offense. With Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani all healthy and active, Jones will likely fulfill a similar role as a special teams ace in Sunday's game against the Commanders.

The Raiders elevated White from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

The Raiders have elected to utilize White's last practice squad elevation, allowing the team to carry the wide receiver into game day for each of the first three weeks of the regular season. White caught two touchdowns on two targets for a total of 24 yards in the Raiders' Week 2 win over the Chargers, leaving a strong impression in his seven offensive snaps. The 27-year-old also provides strong value on special teams, making it likely White will be first in line for a 53-man roster spot if one were to open up.

The Saints elevated Moreno-Cropper from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Moreno-Cropper is set for his first taste of regular-season action in 2026. The wide receiver is being elevated alongside Kevin Austin to supplement a Saints wide receiver corps now without Barion Brown (hamstring). With Week 3 marking Austin's third practice squad elevation, the Saints will be unable to utilize him in the future without signing him to the active roster. This predicament means Moreno-Cropper may be the go-to wide receiver elevation for Week 4 and Week 5 if the team likes his game-day performance in Week 3.
