Jeudy brought in five of seven targets for 81 yards in the Broncos' 70-20 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Jeudy was quiet early but came on as the game unfolded and finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Courtland Sutton for the Broncos on the afternoon. Jeudy, a fourth-year speedster, exponentially improved on his Week 2 season debut performance, when he produced a 3-25 line on five targets. Jeudy's first opportunity to continue his upward trajectory comes in a favorable Week 4 road matchup against the Bears.

Olave notched eight receptions (on 11 targets) for 104 yards during Sunday's 18-17 loss against the Packers.

Olave was the most dynamic offensive player for either team during Sunday's loss. The second-year wideout hauled in four of his five targets in the first half, though he let a would-be seven-yard touchdown pass slide through his arms near the end of the first half. He also caught all but one of his six targets from quarterback Derek Carr, who was forced out with a right shoulder injury sustained on a sack during the third quarter. The veteran underwent X-rays on his right shoulder and was taken to a local area hospital for further evaluation. In his stead, backup quarterback Jameis Winston struggled to spur the Saints' offense during the second half, but he still completed two of three targets to Olave for 32 yards on the team's final offensive series. Olave finished with two more receptions than Michael Thomas, with the duo targeted on 20 of the 34 total passing attempts put up by Carr and Winston. Olave should remain the primary receiver for New Orleans moving forward, though his production could take a hit if Carr misses time.

Sutton brought in eight of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 70-20 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost two fumbles.

Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when Denver simply had no chance of keeping up with a juggernaut of a Dolphins offense. The veteran wideout's performance was one of the few positives for head coach Sean Payton's squad, although his two fumbles did lead to Miami touchdowns, albeit when the game was essentially out of reach. Sutton partly atoned with a 12-yard scoring grab and also set new season highs across the stat sheet. The 27-year-old has looked like a smooth fit in Payton's system thus far, and his fantasy prospects are bright going into a favorable Week 4 road matchup against the Bears.

Ridley brought in three of seven targets for 40 yards in the Jaguars' 37-17 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Ridley had about as uneven a day as the rest of the Jaguars' air attack, leading to his second straight underwhelming performance following an 8-101-1 line in Week 1. The veteran speedster has particularly had trouble with his efficiency in the last pair of contests, now having brought in just five of 15 targets in that span. The amount of Trevor Lawrence's attention that he's garnering is encouraging, however, and he'll aim to put together a resurgent effort across the pond in a Week 4 matchup against the Falcons in London.

Bateman noted after Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts that his hamstring tightened up on him during the contest, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Though Zrebiec indicates that Bateman was laboring late in the game and walked back to locker room with a pronounced limp, the wideout doesn't think his hamstring issue is anything serious. That said, Bateman's status is now worth tracking (along with that of fellow WR Odell Beckham/ankle) as next weekend's tilt against the Browns approaches.

Dell brought in five of seven targets for 145 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 37-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Dell led the Texans in receptions, receiving yards and targets during the upset victory, putting a punctuation mark on Houston's surprising 20-point win with a 68-yard touchdown grab with just under nine minutes remaining. Dell has quickly ascended in the pecking order of the Texans' air attack, now having produced a 12-217-2 line in his last two games while logging 17 targets in that span. Dell could continue taking away his fair share of targets from veteran Robert Woods and challenge Nico Collins for the mantle of C.J. Stroud's top option in certain games this season, with his next opportunity to do so coming in a Week 4 home matchup against the Steelers.

Cooper recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans.

Cooper was overshadowed by Elijah Moore for much of the day, but he beat the Titans' secondary deep down the field for a 43-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to put together a big line. Since a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Bengals, Cooper has 206 yards combined between his last two games. He also has a hold on a key role in the offense, as he's seen at least seven targets in all three of Cleveland's contests to this point.

St. Brown caught nine of 12 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Falcons. He also rushed once for four yards.

St. Brown overcame a toe injury to suit up and performed like his usual self. The Pro Bowl wideout led Detroit in catches, targets and receiving yards, although rookie Sam LaPorta had the team's only touchdown grab. Along with recording at least six receptions in each game this season, St. Brown has either scored or topped 100 yards in all three contests. That puts him in excellent form ahead of Thursday night's visit to Green Bay, where top cornerback Jaire Alexander (back) was sidelined in Week 3.

Williams is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the knee injury he suffered in the Chargers' 28-24 win over the Vikings on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, Williams rode a cart to the bus at U.S. Bank Stadium following the contest with his left leg in a brace. If the wideout is forced to miss time beyond Week 3, Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston would see added opportunities going forward alongside Keenan Allen. Prior to his exit Sunday, Williams caught seven of his eight targets for 121 yards and a TD.

Allen recorded 18 receptions on 20 targets for 215 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Vikings. He also threw for a 49-yard touchdown.

Allen's monstrous line unsurprisingly set career-best marks in both receptions and yards in a single game. He did that on impressive volume, but he also managed five catches of more than 20 yards -- a particularly impressive mark given that he had only seven such plays across 10 games in 2022. Allen also contributed to the win in unexpected ways, as he tossed a 49-yard touchdown to Mike Williams midway through the third quarter. The Chargers have shown a willingness to be more aggressive with their passing attack early on this season, and Allen has benefitted by now seeing at least nine targets in all three games.
