Jennings caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Chargers.

The rookie fourth-round pick has been targeted six times this preseason, and he has one catch for 12 yards to show for it. It's an unimpressive stat line, but the Seahawks will likely give him ample opportunity to right the ship in the final preseaosn game versus the Raiders. If he can show more promise, Jennings has a chance to be in the starting lineup since D.K. Metcalf (knee) and David Moore (shoulder) are both battling injuries.

Lockett hauled in two of three targets for 50 yards in Saturday's preseason matchup versus the Chargers. He also rushed once for six yards.

Lockett is projected to play more of a slot role in 2019 with Doug Baldwin out of the picture, though Saturday showed that the 26-year-old still will get some deep looks outside. While Lockett figures to be Russell Wilson's top option, fantasy owners should remember this is a run-first offense in which no player drew more than 73 targets last season.

Arcega-Whiteside likely will see more work than most No. 4 wide receivers, as well as red-zone looks, Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Arcega-Whiteside has opened eyes this preseason, leading the team with 12 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown so far. The rookie has shown he knows how to use his 6-foot-2 frame in the red zone and will be employed as a weapon there. Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson missed seven games combined last year, so there is a good chance the Stanford product will make a few starts throughout the season as well.

Anderson caught both of his targets for 60 yards in Saturday's 28-13 preseason loss to the Saints.

New York's starting offense was out there for most of the first half, but the Jets couldn't get much going until Anderson got free for a 41-yard catch to help set up Ty Montgomery's two-yard touchdown reception. Anderson should pick up plenty of chunk gains this season, but the fast and lanky wideout will leave most of the underneath work to the likes of Jamison Crowder and Quincy Enunwa, which could lead to some up-and-down results for Anderson.

Hardman caught three of four targets, accounting for 40 receiving yards during Saturday's 27-17 preseason loss to San Francisco. He added one kick return of 21 yards, as well as a two-yard punt return.

Against the 49ers in Week 3 of preseason play, Hardman flashed the game-breaking ability that convinced Andy Reid and the Chiefs' brass to invest a second-round draft choice in him during April's draft. Hardman was called for an offensive pass interference penalty on a second-quarter drive with Chad Henne leading the charge, but made up for that misstep with receptions of 15, 18 and seven yards -- all from backup quarterback Kyle Shurmur, within a span of six offensive plays on Kansas City's second drive of the third quarter.

Hodge brought in three of four targets for 54 yards in the Rams' 10-6 preseason win over the Broncos on Saturday.

The second-year pro co-led the team in receptions while checking in second behind Mike Thomas in receiving yardage. Hodge also generated a productive 3-63 line in the preseason opener versus the Raiders two weeks ago, so he's seemingly making a strong case for the No. 5 receiver job. He'll look to continue battling the likes of JoJo Natson and Thomas for that slotting in Thursday's preseason finale versus the Texans.

Hill caught all three of his targets, accumulating 31 receiving yards during Saturday's 27-17 preseason loss to San Francisco.

Hill was effective with a limited workload during Kansas City's dress rehearsal game against San Francisco, commanding a 30 percent target share with Patrick Mahomes in the game, and picking up first downs on all three of his first-half receptions. Hill was somewhat of a volatile fantasy asset in 2018, but finished as the No. 1 receiver in many formats by way of his uncanny playmaking ability. The three-time Pro Bowl wideout had at least 90 receiving yards or multiple receiving scores in seven of 16 regular-season games last season, but also was contained to fewer than 65 receiving yards with zero touchdown catches on five occasions.

Thomas caught both of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 28-13 preseason win over the Jets.

Thomas only played the opening drive, but he dominated while he was out there, pulling down a contested 20-yard catch before capping the possession with a 19-yard touchdown. With a new contract in hand, the Saints' clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver should have no problem breaking the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth consecutive season to open his career, and a healthy Thomas should challenge last season's career-best totals of 1,405 yards and nine touchdowns.

Cain caught three of four targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-17 preseason loss to the Bears.

Cain turned in another strong preseason performance and looks like he's going to lock down a roster spot as a depth receiver. Most of his yardage came on a 46-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Unfortunately, everything the Colts did on the field in this one was overshadowed by the news that quarterback Andrew Luck has announced he's retiring. As a result, the entire outlook on the Colts' passing game has grown much bleaker.

Wims caught one pass for three yards in the Bears' win over the Colts.

Wims got the start, but didn't spend much time on the field, as the deep reserves handled most of the on-field duties in this contest. He's been competing for a depth role on the 53-man roster, and his fate should be announced soon.
