  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Totals 61 yards in return

    Pierce (concussion) caught three of five targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.

    Pierce returned after missing Week 2 and immediately stepped into the No. 2 wide receiver role behind Michael Pittman, who returned from a quadriceps injury of his own. The rookie second-round pick will look to solidify his spot as Matt Ryan's second option in the passing game Week 4 against a Titans defense that's tied for the most touchdowns allowed to wide receivers with six this season.

  • 49ers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Another one-catch game

    McCloud caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Broncos.

    McCloud got off to a rough start when he slipped on the opening kickoff return and started San Francisco deep in its own territory. The return specialist logged 10 snaps on offense (18 percent) and 13 on special teams. McCloud doesn't carry any fantasy value in his current role as fourth on the receiver depth chart heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Rams.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Limited to one catch

    Jennings had one reception (three targets) for five yards in Sunday's 11-10 loss to Denver.

    Jennings logged 26 offensive snaps (46 percent) in his usual role as the 49ers' third wideout on the depth chart. The 25-year-old did convert the team's lone third-down conversion late in the fourth quarter, but it was an otherwise forgettable night from a fantasy perspective. Jennings and the 49ers will take on the Rams next Monday.

  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Sticking in minor role

    Agnew caught his lone target for 17 yards and returned three punts for 18 yards during Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.

    The 27-year-old played 12 offensive snaps in the blowout victory and once again operated as Jacksonville's No. 4 wideout. Agnew should remain in that role, in addition to handling return duties, heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Eagles.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Jaguars' Marvin Jones: Secures touchdown in win

    Jones caught four of seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.

    Christian Kirk and Zay Jones combined for 157 yards and two scores on 20 targets, as the pair appear to be the go-to options for Trevor Lawrence early in 2022. Marvin Jones grabbed his first touchdown of the year in the fourth quarter, but he has yet to reach 40 receiving yards in any of the first three games of the season.

  • Patriots' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Sees 54 snaps Sunday

    Humphrey logged 54 of a possible 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-26 loss to the Ravens, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Despite being second among the Patriots wideouts in terms of snaps Week 3, Humphrey didn't record a catch (on one target) in the contest. For now, the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is off the fantasy radar, though his versatility (Humphrey saw TE reps in training camp) and blocking ability could keep earning him a share of playing time in the weeks ahead.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Two catches in Week 3

    Agholor was on the field for 50 of a possible 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-26 loss to the Ravens, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Agholor, who caught two of his three targets for 41 yards in the contest, was out-snapped Week 3 by DeVante Parker (64) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (54), while Jakobi Meyers was inactive due to a knee injury. With an 11-179-1 stat line on 14 targets through his first three outings this season, Agholor is on the radar in deeper fantasy formats, but if quarterback Mac Jones is forced to miss time with an ankle injury, the wideout's weekly ceiling could take a hit.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | LAR

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Targeted once in win

    Atwell failed to bring in his only target during Sunday's 20-12 win against the Cardinals.

    Even with Van Jefferson (knee) out for at least the first two months of the regular season after being put on injured reserve. Atwell has failed to earn much of a role on offense, and he was only on the field for three offensive snaps Sunday. Atwell will look to earn his first catch of the season in Week 4 against San Francisco.

  • Michael Gallup WR | WAS

    Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Not expected to play Monday

    Gallup (knee) is expected to be inactive for Monday's divisional matchup against the Giants, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Gallup practiced in full leading up to Monday's contest, so for a moment his status appeared to be trending in the right direction, but the wideout now is expected to miss another game before presumably returning to action Week 4. However, an official word on Gallup's status may not come until roughly 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Gallup is unavailable Monday, Noah Brown once again will be set for a key role on offense alongside CeeDee Lamb.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Rams' Allen Robinson: Disappoints with just two catches

    Robinson secured two of five targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 20-12 victory versus the Cardinals.

    Robinson started the year in dismal fashion with a one-catch game against the Bills, but it looked like he had some momentum after a much more successful Week 2 performance against the Falcons that included his first TD as a Ram. Unfortunately, the veteran wideout regressed Sunday, with the low point coming on a would-be touchdown pass that went right through Robinson's hands. The rapport between him and QB Matthew Stafford just hasn't been developing the way fantasy managers would like, although Robinson seeing two end zone targets Sunday is somewhat encouraging. He'll try to bounce back in Week 4 against a stout San Francisco defense.
