Scott caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Scott has three catches for 20 yards on the season, and unless his role in the offense increases, he'll be tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

Hardman played only two snaps on offense and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.

Hardman has barely seen the field while being targeted only once through three games with the Jets. He'll be motivated to deliver against his former team when the Chiefs come to town in Week 4, but Hardman may not get many opportunities to do so.

Claypool caught one pass for 15 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Claypool was second on the team with four targets, but the Chicago offense was unable to move the ball until the Chiefs brought in their defensive backups late in the game. Although Claypool has seen increased snaps since Week 1, the anemic passing game may limit his potential to have consistent production.

Gallup caught six of seven targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Cardinals.

After managing only one reception in each of Dallas' first two games, Gallup broke out and led the team in catches and receiving yards as Arizona largely held CeeDee Lamb in check. It's Gallup's best performance since he put up a 5-106-0 line against the Raiders in Week 12 of the 2021 campaign, before his ACL surgery. He'll look to carry some momentum into Week 4's clash with a Patriots defense that's been stingy through the air so far this season.

Lamb caught four of seven targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Cardinals.

While the Cowboys had some success on the ground, Lamb and the passing game didn't make much of an impact with Dak Prescott working behind an offensive line missing three starters, including Zack Martin (ankle). Lamb has still topped 50 receiving yards in all three games in 2023, but he faces a tough matchup in Week 4 against a Patriots defense that's been the only one to somewhat contain Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins' passing attack so far this season.

Pierce recorded three receptions on seven targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime win over the Ravens.

Pierce had his best game of the season in terms of both involvement and production with Gardner Minshew under center. His biggest contribution came early in the second quarter on a jump ball over the middle of the field for a 23-yard gain to jumpstart a drive that ended in a touchdown. Pierce has remained on the field for nearly 100 percent of the team's offensive snaps, though both Michael Pittman and rookie Josh Downs have bested him in terms of production.

Cobb caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.

Cobb finally made his first catch as a member of the Jets after going two games without a target. He then had a chance to be the hero on the game's final play as Zach Wilson's Hail Mary throw deflected right in Cobb's direction, but Cobb had the ball clank off his arm rather than turn into a game-winning, 54-yard touchdown.

Downs recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime win over the Ravens.

Downs doubled his target total on the season with his performance Sunday, as he displayed rapport with backup quarterback Gardner Minshew. Volume was the most notable part of his performance, however, as his longest catch went for only 12 yards. Downs has made his mark in the short areas of the field in the first three games of his career, as he's tallied 15 receptions on 24 targets but totaled only 124 yards.

Lockett caught three of seven passes for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers. He also caught a two-point conversion.

The 30-year-old wideout took a back seat to DK Metcalf in this one and couldn't repeat last week's two-TD performance, but Lockett was who Geno Smith looked for as he scrambled around on a two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter. Lockett hasn't produced much yardage yet in 2023, but that could change in Week 4 against a Giants secondary that just got torched for a 6-129-1 line by the 49ers' Deebo Samuel.

Rice caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over Chicago.

Rice appeared to have scored the second touchdown of his young career on a 14-yard reception early in the second quarter, but replay review overturned the score, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire punched it in on the ensuing play. It was still a strong performance from Rice, who finished second behind Travis Kelce in receptions, targets and yardage Sunday. Patrick Mahomes likes to spread the ball around to his auxiliary targets, so it's tough to predict this kind of workload every week. That said, Rice could develop into a household fantasy name if he continues to earn his star quarterback's trust. His next opportunity to do so will come in a primetime matchup against the Jets next Sunday.
