  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Packers' Davante Adams: Monster game Sunday night

    Adams corralled 12 passes (18 targets) for 132 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-28 win over San Francisco.

    The patented Aaron Rodgers-Davante Adams connection carried the Packers' offense all evening, highlighted by a perfect 25-yard strike that put Mason Crosby in range for a game-winning kick as time expired. The superstar wideout exited the game briefly after taking a hard shot to the head that left him on the ground for a couple of moments, but he was able to return in time to play a pivotal role on the final drive. After a forgettable Week 1 for the entire Green Bay offense, Adams has racked up a whopping 20 receptions, 253 yards and a touchdown over the last two contests.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Busts out in Week 3 loss

    Metcalf caught six of nine targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.

    The third-year wideout opened the scoring on the afternoon with a 10-yard grab from Russell Wilson in the first quarter, setting the stage for Metcalf's first 100-yard game of the year. He led Seattle in catches, yards and targets, and he might need to come up big again in Week 4 in a tough road matchup against the 49ers.

  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Hurts hamstring Sunday night

    Valdez-Scantling (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against San Francisco.

    Valdez-Scantling pulled up while running a deep route, but the Packers caught a break when fellow wide receiver Davante Adams returned to the game on the next play after Adams had gone to the medical tent due to a big hit over the middle. Prior to getting hurt, MVS was in the midst of a strong bounce-back performance, with three catches for 59 yards and a touchdown on four targets.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Hits pay dirt against Miami

    Renfrow caught five of six targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Dolphins.

    Six different Raiders caught between three and five passes and saw between five and seven targets as Derek Carr spread the ball around very effectively, but Renfrow was the only one of the group to get into the end zone as he fought his way through traffic after the catch on a 12-yard TD in the third quarter. The slot receiver has caught at least five passes in three straight games to begin the season, and Renfrow stands a good chance of extending that streak Week 4 in a potential barnburner against the Chargers on Monday night.

  • Raiders' Bryan Edwards: Big-play threat in OT win

    Edwards caught three of five targets for a game-high 89 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Dolphins.

    The second-year wideout didn't get many looks from Derek Carr, but he made his catches count, hauling in passes of 23, 32 and 34 yards, with the latter two helping to set up both of the Raiders' field goals in OT. Late-game heroics are beginning to become a habit for Edwards, and he could get an opportunity for more big receptions Week 4 in an AFC West showdown with the Chargers.

  • Adam Humphries WR | HOU

    Football Team's Adam Humphries: Catches just one pass

    Humphries caught one of four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 43-21 loss to the Bills.

    The veteran slot man tied for second on the team in targets on a day where Buffalo ate up most of the possession and Taylor Heinicke attempted only 24 passes. Humphries and Logan Thomas are tied for second on the team with 14 targets through three games, but the former has managed just 71 scoreless yards, while the tight end has 117 yards and two TDs. Humphries at least gets a good matchup Week 4, facing the Falcons in Atlanta.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Can't do much with big volume

    Waddle caught 12 of 13 passes for 58 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    He was Jacoby Brissett's favorite option on the afternoon, but Waddle wasn't able to do much with his team-leading volume. The rookie's longest catch went for only nine yards, and he got tackled for a safety on a botched wide receiver screen late in the first quarter. With Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) out for at least two more games, Waddle may need to rely on his ability to gain yards after the catch to post stronger numbers Week 4 at home against the Colts.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Tops 100 receiving yards

    Evans recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 106 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Rams.

    Evans paced the team in receiving yards and was tied with Giovani Bernard as the only other pass catcher to command double-digit targets. Evans provided a number of explosive gains, including a reception of 20 yards and two catches that went for 17 yards. After managing only 24 yards Week 1, Evans has since managed 13 receptions, 181 yards and two touchdowns across his last two games combined. Next, he and the Buccaneers will travel to New England for a Week 4 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Football Team's Dyami Brown: Finishes without a catch

    Brown finished without a catch on two targets and took one carry for a loss of four yards in Sunday's 43-21 loss to Buffalo.

    The rookie third-round pick hasn't done much through his first three games, despite handling the No. 2 receiver role -- at least in terms of snaps -- while Curtis Samuel (groin) has been on injured reserve throughout September. Samuel is eligible to return Week 4 at Atlanta, but it won't come as any surprise if he misses another game, which could allow Brown to make another start. The rookie has caught just four of his 12 targets for 32 yards.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Posts 74 yards

    Godwin recorded six receptions on seven targets for 74 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Rams. He also added one rush for two yards and a touchdown.

    With Antonio Brown (COVID-19) sidelined and Tom Brady taking to the air 55 times, Godwin's relative lack of volume is a bit disappointing. However, Godwin still made the most of his opportunity, posting 10.6 yards per target and recording big gains on catches of 21 and 17 yards. With his rushing score, he now has found the end zone in each game this season. He's also displayed a strong floor as a receiver, posting no fewer than 62 yards through three games. In Week 4, Godwin and the Buccaneers will travel to New England to take on the Patriots.
