  • K.J. Osborn WR | TEN

    Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Gets TD on lone reception

    Osborn had one reception for a 36-yard touchdown on three targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

    Osborn started at receiver over Jordan Addison and played more snaps (77 to 59) on offense, but Addison had six receptions for 52 yards on eight targets. Osborn is getting more playing time due to his prowess as a run blocker, but he's fallen behind Addison in terms of his role in the passing game.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Effective in expanded role

    Agholor caught all four of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's loss to Indianapolis.

    The veteran saw plenty of playing time Sunday with Odell Beckham (ankle) sidelined as Agholor played the second-most snaps (52 of 72) among Baltimore receivers, behind only Zay Flowers' 67. Rashod Bateman played 50 snaps as well, signaling that Baltimore was comfortable with having three wide receivers as its base personnel. Agholor caught everything thrown his way and is up to nine catches for 102 yards and a touchdown over his last two games. Beckham isn't expected to miss extended time, but if he remains out again Week 4, Agholor would project to see a high snap share again.

  • River Cracraft WR | WAS

    Dolphins' River Cracraft: Could miss extended time

    Cracraft (shoulder) is still undergoing tests to find out how long he could be sidelined according to head coach Mike McDaniel, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Cracraft suffered the injury in the second quarter of the Dolphins' win Sunday against the Broncos and did not return. Any potential absences moving forward would be made worse if Jaylen Waddle (concussion) were to continue to miss time, although Waddle was able to log a limited practice Friday and seems to be trending in the proper direction. Cracraft's status for Week 4 against the Bills will likely be clearer after test results are in, as well as his status in the team's practice reports in the days ahead. If he is unable to play, Robbie Chosen would likely get an opportunity with the active roster once again.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Still in concussion protocol

    Waddle remains in concussion protocol Monday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Coach Mike McDaniel sounded optimistic about Waddle's progress Monday, but the wide receiver's status is unchanged after he sat out Sunday's historic 70-20 win over the Broncos. Miami proved it can get by just fine without him, but the Dolphins still would welcome Waddle back with open arms for the team's pivotal clash with the AFC East rival Bills on Sunday. In order to play, Waddle first needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

  • Colts' Isaiah McKenzie: Makes impact on punt returns

    McKenzie had one reception for three yards on his only target in Sunday's overtime win over Baltimore. He also returned two punts for 16 and 32 yards.

    McKenzie played just nine snaps on offense, a slight increase from two snaps Week 2. He has a limited role as the Colts' fourth receiver but made an impact as a punt returner.

  • Rams' Austin Trammell: Joins active roster

    Trammell has been elevated to the Rams' active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Trammell was also bumped up from the practice squad in Week 2, so this most likely has little to nothing to do with Puka Nacua (oblique) being questionable for the contest. The former only saw one snap on offense during the Rams' loss to the 49ers, but he did carry out kick-return duties and may do so again in Monday's matchup with the Bengals.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Back at facility but can't practice

    Williams (suspension) returned to Detroit's team facility Monday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports. Williams remains ineligible to participate in group workouts or practices, and the earliest he can play in a game is Week 7 against Baltimore.

    In addition to his gambling suspension, Williams also has been rehabbing a hamstring injury, though it's unclear where he stands in the recovery process from that injury. Detroit's team doctors will get a chance to assess the health of the wide receiver's hamstring with nearly a month remaining before he'll be eligible to play. Once he returns, the 2022 first-round pick could find himself battling for playing time with Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond. Reynolds is tied with rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs for third on the team with 13 targets through three games, trailing Amon-Ra St. Brown (28) and rookie tight end Sam LaPorta (22).

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Could get pronounced role

    Palmer is expected to see more targets moving forward after Mike Williams was diagnosed Monday with a season-ending ACL tear, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Both Palmer and 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston are expected to take on increased volume in the Chargers' passing game in Williams' absence, though Keenan Allen should continue to work as the top target for quarterback Justin Herbert. Through three games, Palmer has 13 targets -- exactly one third of Allen's total and half of Williams' -- while Johnston has been targeted only eight times.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Finds end zone vs. Las Vegas

    Austin secured two of six targets for 72 yards and a touchdown during the Steelers' 23-18 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    The Steelers' offense has struggled to put together big plays early in the 2023 campaign, but Austin had the longest play of Sunday's primetime matchup with his 72-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) out once again, Austin saw elevated playing time for a second consecutive week while playing in 73 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Johnson will be unavailable for at least two more games while on injured reserve, so expect Austin's increased playing time to continue next Sunday against Houston.

  • Patriots' Demario Douglas: Records one catch in Week 3

    Douglas logged 17 of a possible 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Douglas finished the contest with one catch (on three targets) for 15 yards while being out-snapped by DeVante Parker (55), JuJu Smith-Schuster (53) and Kendrick Bourne (40). At this stage, the rookie sixth-rounder is off the fantasy radar as long he remains the No. 4 option in New England's WR pecking order.
