Johnston caught two of his three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Vikings.

For a third consecutive week the 2023 first-round pick played under 25 percent of the total team snaps. It appears as though Johnston will need at least one injury ahead of him on the depth chart to get any sort of sizable workload, but with Mike Williams slated for an MRI on Monday after injuring his knee in Sunday's win, that opportunity could come sooner rather than later.

Renfrow caught two passes on as many targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.

Renfrow logged a season-high 37 offensive snaps despite Jakobi Meyers' return from a concussion. The slot receiver has earned only three total targets through the Raiders' first three contests of the season however, resulting in a poor 3-40-0 line ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Chargers.

Wicks caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 18-17 victory over the Saints.

Wicks did not reach the end zone like he did in Week 2, but the rookie did set career highs for targets, receptions, yardage and snaps played (47). His opportunities will presumably take a hit once Christian Watson (hamstring) is ready to go, but Wicks has solidified his spot on the depth chart behind Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.

Chosen secured his only target for a 68-yard touchdown during Sunday's 70-20 win over the Broncos.

Chosen, who was elevated from the practice squad to make his season debut Sunday, hauled in a long touchdown from backup Mike White after the Week 3 contest was well out of hand in the fourth quarter. If Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is able to get back on the field Week 4 versus the Bills, Chosen may not be elevated, but it was at least encouraging to see him succeed handling a depth role in Miami's scheme. That bodes well for his chances of producing if called upon again down the stretch. Chosen will automatically revert to the Dolphins' practice squad in the wake of Sunday's win.

Hutchinson played special teams only in Sunday's 37-17 win over Jacksonville.

Hutchinson did not get on the field for the offense for the first time in three games. From comments made by head coach DeMeco Ryans during the preseason, the rookie is still developing consistency, so any impact he may have could come later this season.

Metchie caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jaguars.

Metchie played 15 snaps as the No. 4 wideout. He's gotten opportunities in the wake of Noah Brown's groin injury, but rookie Tank Dell isn't losing his grip on a starting role in three-wide sets following a five-catch, 145-yard, one-touchdown performance Sunday. Metchie remains ahead of Houston's other rookie wideout, Xavier Hutchinson, who played only special teams against Jacksonville. Metchie has three catches on three targets for 30 yards in two games this season.

Cooks caught two of seven targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Cardinals.

Four different Cowboys tied for the team lead with seven targets, but Cooks was the least productive of the bunch as he struggled to gain separation against a surprisingly stout Arizona secondary. The veteran wideout has had a very quiet start to his Dallas tenure, and it could be a while before Cooks begins to make an impact. The Cowboys host the Patriots in Week 4 before a road game against the 49ers in Week 5.

Woods caught three of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over Jacksonville.

Woods and Nico Collins took a back seat to rookie Tank Dell, who led Houston wideouts with five catches on seven targets for 145 yards and a touchdown. Over the first two weeks, it was Woods and Collins pacing the wide receivers, but it looks like Dell is in position to overtake them. Woods, remains the target leader with 25 through three games, followed by Collins (23) and then the surging Dell (21).

Tillman played 11 snaps and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans in Week 3.

That made three consecutive weeks without a target for Tillman, who has averaged 10 snaps per game. He sits on the second tier of Cleveland's wideout depth chart along with David Bell (four targets, 31 snaps) and Marquise Goodwin (four targets, 30 snaps).

Bell played nine snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 27-3 win over Tennessee.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson focused his attention on Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore in what was his best game since joining the Browns. Any looks left over for other wideouts went to Donovan Peoples-Jones, as Marquise Goodwin and Cedric Tillman joined Bell among the untargeted. Barring injury ahead of him on the depth chart, Bell's role doesn't seem likely to increase.
