Olszewski was on the field for seven of a possible 77 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jets.

Olszewski, who wasn't targeted in the game, saw some snaps on offense Sunday with Julian Edelman (ribs) banged up. Unless Edelman's injury costs him time in future contests, Olszewski should see the bulk of his snaps on special teams moving forward, but even his role on those units could become smaller after he muffed a punt in the win over New York.

Meyers was on the field for 49 of a possible 77 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jets.

In the process, Meyers hauled in two of his three targets for 38 yards. With Antonio Brown no longer in the mix, Meyers now profiles as the Patriots' No. 4 wideout, behind Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon and Phillip Dorsett. Meyers saw some added work Sunday, with Edelman getting banged up during the contest, but the UDFA out of NC State remains a speculative fantasy play, given where he currently slots in on the team's depth chart.

Shepherd made his NFL debut Week 3 and played two snaps on offense in Sunday's victory over the Broncos.

Shepherd missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury, but he was able to take the field Sunday for the first time as a professional. He worked as a depth option at receiver and also served as the Packers' punt returner, but only got one opportunity to return a kick and called for a fair catch. Shepherd made some noise during the preseason despite being an undrafted free agent and could get more involved moving forward now that he has put the injury behind him.

Lazard played five snaps on offense in Sunday's victory over the Broncos.

Lazard was on the field for just one offensive play over the first two games of the season, but he saw a minor bump Week 3 with Jake Kumerow (shoulder) inactive and Trevor Davis no longer on the roster, and finished fourth among Packers receivers in the snap count department. Lazard may not hold that spot for long, though, as Kumerow is not facing a long-term absence and fellow wideout Darrius Shepherd could gradually become more involved after making his season debut Week 3.

Grant caught four of seven targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Cowboys. He also logged one carry for four yards.

Grant additionally served as Miami's top return man, but he wasn't able to bring a spark to the team's offense during any phase of the game. The 2016 sixth-round pick hasn't yet managed to break off a big play this season, but it appears as though the Dolphins intend to continue giving him notable weekly touches.

Parker caught three of six targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Cowboys.

Parker brought in a sensational 40-yard one-handed catch during the first minutes of Sunday's loss, but he had minimal impact on the game after that point. The 2015 first-round pick struggled with drops during Sunday's loss, including a would-be touchdown that ricocheted off his hands. Until Parker is able to put together some sort of consistency, he'll be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

The Jets signed Smith off the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Smith suited up in seven games for the Texans last season. He wasn't used often on special teams, while his offense was limited to five catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. However, he did have two catches of over 20 yards, and Smith should add solid depth if Demaryius Thomas (knee/hamstring) misses additional time.

Wilson failed to catch his only target and returned one punt for 13 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

With Michael Gallup (knee) and Tavon Austin (concussion) both sidelined for Week 3, Wilson was added to the active roster but didn't see much action on offense, playing only 14 of 72 snaps (19 percent). His primary role will be on special teams, and he's likely to get bumped back to the practice squad once Austin is cleared to return.

Cobb caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

Devin Smith got the start on the outside in place of Michael Gallup (knee), leaving Cobb in his usual slot role, and the former Packer was on the field for 74 percent (53 of 72) of the Cowboys' offensive snaps -- right in line with his workload in Weeks 1 and 2. Cobb has 15 targets through those three games, turning them into 11 catches for 116 yards and a TD. Even with Gallup sidelined, Cobb should remain a secondary option for Dak Prescott heading into Week 4's clash with the Saints.

Montgomery rushed twice for one yard and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Patriots.

Montgomery got two touches to Le'Veon Bell's 22. Bell will continue to be a workhorse while healthy, so Montgomery's only value lies in being a handcuff.
