  • Bears' Marquise Goodwin: Blanked in loss

    Goodwin was targeted once, but posted no stats in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    After collecting 45 yards in the season opener, Goodwin has just one catch for 12 yards in the two games since, and unless his role grows in the offense, he'll be a player who can post a zero in any given week.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Jaguars' DJ Chark: Scores TD on three catches

    Chark caught three of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 loss to Arizona.

    Chark caught a 12-yard touchdown late in the second quarter and tied for second on the team in targets, but he didn't offer significant production in the passing game overall. The 25-year-old has only seven receptions for 154 yards through the first three games of the season, though he's salvaged some fantasy value with two scores. Chark may remain a touchdown-dependent option until QB Trevor Lawrence and the offense are able to find more consistency.

  • Browns' Odell Beckham: Solid effort in season debut

    Beckham (knee) secured five of nine targets for 77 yards in the Browns' 26-6 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also rushed once for 10 yards and reportedly temporarily dislocated his shoulder before popping it back in, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Playing in his first game since suffering an ACL tear in October of last season, Beckham paced the Browns in receiving yards and targets while also recording a team-high 26-yard grab. Beckham's shoulder issue was clearly not much of a hindrance and is unlikely to be a problem heading into a Week 4 battle against the Vikings on the road. Beckham will draw a highly favorable matchup in that contest and should continue to see heavy volume with Jarvis Landry (IR-knee) out of action.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: Nearly invisible in loss

    Mooney caught one pass for nine yards in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Mooney was second on the team with four targets, but with the Chicago offense completely dominated by the Browns, the team was unable to sustain drives, which contributed to his weak performance. After having been targeted at least seven times in each of his prior games, he'll likely bounce back in an excellent matchup next week against the Lions.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Four TDs through three games

    Chase caught four of five targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    Chase found the end zone from 34 yards out with 37 seconds left in the first half on a play reminiscent of his Week 1 touchdown against Minnesota, which also came in the final minute before halftime. The rookie fifth overall pick scored again from nine yards out in the third quarter, giving him four touchdowns in his first three NFL games. With Chase and Joe Burrow having reignited the chemistry from their days together at LSU, the rookie receiver will be an appetizing fantasy play against the Jaguars on Thursday.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Forgettable performance

    Robinson caught two passes for 27 yards in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Although Robinson led the team with six targets, Justin Fields was completely overmatched, and the offense was so bad that Robinson's 27 yards was the highest total on the team. With 35 or fewer yards in each of his first three games, it's fair to be concerned with his slow start, but with a long history of high-level performance in non-optimal situations, it's likely Robinson gets back on track as early as next week against the Lions.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Falcons' Calvin Ridley: Team high in receptions

    Ridley caught eight of 11 targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants.

    Ridley led the Falcons in receptions and targets, but besides a long gain of 20 yards, he mostly was a factor on underneath routes. Through three games, Atlanta's top wideout is yet to surpass 65 yards, but he's hauled in at least five passes each contest. After tying for fifth league-wide with 1,374 receiving yards last season, Ridley still hasn't enjoyed his breakout performance under new coach Arthur Smith, yet he remains a reliable option ahead of Week 4's matchup against Washington.

  • Jacob Harris WR | TB

    Rams' Jacob Harris: Ready to go for Week 3

    Harris (hip) is active for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Harris was a limited participant Thursday and didn't practice Friday, but he will be active against the Bucs in Week 3. The 24-year-old tight end has played primarily on special teams, so his absence shouldn't have an affect on the Rams' offensive rotations.

  • Jaelon Darden WR | SEA

    Buccaneers' Jaelon Darden: Active for first time as pro

    Darden is active for the first time in his career Sunday against the Rams with Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) inactive, and the rookie could see some snaps on offense in addition to his work as a returner, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    The speedy rookie flashed at times during preseason and now will have a chance to show what he's capable of for the first time in regular-season action. Darden is likely to handle both kickoff and punt returns against Los Angeles, but with Antonio Brown (reserve/COVID-19) unavailable, the fourth-round pick could rotate in on offense as a No. 4 WR option for Tom Brady.

  • Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Out with rib injury

    Smith-Schuster won't return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a rib injury, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Smith-Schuster caught all three of his targets for 25 yards prior to going down with the injury. The Steelers, which are already without Diontae Johnson (knee), will manage the rest of Sunday's contest with Chase Claypool, James Washington and Ray-Ray McCloud as the team's top wide receivers.
