  • Bills' Ray-Ray McCloud: Makes NFL debut

    McCloud recovered from a knee injury and made his NFL debut in Sunday's upset win over Minnesota, catching his only target for six yards while returning one punt for 13 yards.

    McCloud saw action on 14 offensive snaps, but it's likely special teams where the rookie will make his most immediate mark. Considering McCloud was the only Buffalo player to return a punt Sunday, it looks like that's his job to lose for the foreseeable future.

  • Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Fourth straight 100-yard game

    Smith-Schuster totaled 116 yards on nine catches in Monday's 30-27 win over the Buccaneers.

    Smith-Schuster led the team with 11 targets and, for the fourth straight game dating back to last season, eclipsed the 100-yard mark. He now has 27 catches for 356 yards and a touchdown, and with defenses having to focus on Antonio Brown, Smith-Schuster should continue to put up big numbers in Pittsburgh's potent offense.

  • Shelton Gibson WR | WAS

    Eagles' Shelton Gibson: Sees just one snap in loss

    Gibson played just one offensive snap and saw no targets in Sunday's 20-16 win over Indianapolis.

    Gibson had a big preseason but has only been on the field for 40 total offensive plays over three games since the regular season started. With the addition of Jordan Matthews and the Eagles' increased use of two-tight end sets while Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) recovers, the 23-year-old is buried in the competition for playing time and will likely need another injury to occur before he gets another real chance.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Scores again Monday night

    Godwin caught five of 10 passes for 74 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-27 loss to the Steelers.

    Godwin also lost a fumble during the first half but helped make up for that by scoring a four-yard touchdown to begin the fourth quarter. In doing so, he found pay dirt for the third time in as many weeks, continuing an excellent start to his second season. With Ryan Fitzpatrick starting in place of the suspended Jameis Winston, Godwin and teammates Mike Evans and O.J. Howard have all come out of the gates strong, so it'll be interesting to see whether the Buccaneers' coaching staff opts to keep Fitzpatrick at the helm or turn back to Winston, who'll be eligible to play Week 4 versus the Bears.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Tops 130 yards while scoring versus Steelers

    Evans caught six of 11 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-27 loss to the Steelers.

    Evans was outstanding once again Monday, hauling in a 51-yard bomb during the first half while also scoring for the third straight game to start this season. The star wideout's latest touchdown came from 24 yards out, bringing the Buccaneers dangerously close to a 20-point second-half comeback. While it's yet to be seen whether Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain at quarterback or Jameis Winston will reclaim the job after serving his suspension, Evans' production should persist no matter who's behind center. In fact, only the Saints' Michael Thomas boasts more than Evans' 367 receiving yards so far, making him a huge threat heading into Week 4 versus the Bears.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Titans' Corey Davis: Improved after catch

    Davis has forced four missed tackles and gained 89 yards after the catch, John Glennon of The Athletic reports.

    Glennon also noted that Davis forced just seven missed tackles and gained 117 yards after the catch all of last season. While Davis has racked up only 13 catches and 151 yards through three games, his ability to make defenders miss is a positive. However, the fact that over half of his yards have came after the reception illustrates the lack of downfield threat the Titans' passing attack has possessed, something that could change once Marcus Mariota returns to full strength.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Jaguars' D.J. Chark: Sees 11 snaps

    Chark failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Titans.

    Chark played only 11 offensive snaps as Jacksonville's offense struggled to move the ball against Tennessee. The rookie second-round pick has just one reception for 13 yards through three games and should remain firmly entrenched as the Jaguars' No. 4 wide receiver.

  • Jakeem Grant WR | ATL

    Dolphins' Jakeem Grant: Flashes upside Week 3

    Grant caught two of three passes for 70 yards and two scores in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Raiders.

    Grant was targeted on the game's highlight play, scoring on a 52-yard bomb from Albert Wilson on a trick play. The third-year wideout then nabbed an 18-yard pass from Ryan Tannehill in the red zone, in addition to serving as Miami's punt returner. Grant is a weekly boom-or-bust play, lacking the target share to put up consistent numbers.

  • Seahawks' Brandon Marshall: Captures two passes Sunday

    Marshall hauled in two of six passes for 30 yards in Sunday's 24-13 win over the Cowboys.

    Marshall is getting consistent enough volume -- 18 targets spread evenly with six per game -- to remain fantasy relevant, but he's only caught nine of those passes. The 34-year-old will look to turn that around with a Week 4 matchup against a struggling Cardinals team that has allowed 261 passing yards per game. Marshall is no more than a flex option, and his value teeters on when Doug Baldwin (knee) returns.

  • Willie Snead WR | MIA

    Ravens' Willie Snead: Nabs three receptions

    Snead reeled in three of five passes for 39 yards in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

    For the second consecutive week, Snead was the third-most targeted receiver for the Ravens and has a 16 percent target share on the season. Snead is also averaging a respectable 7.5 yards per target in his new role, marking a major improvement from his lost 2017 in which he averaged just 5.8 YPT. John Brown and Michael Crabtree are still ahead of him in the pecking order for targets, and the Ravens also tend to use Javorius Allen and the tight ends in the red zone, which caps Snead's touchdown upside.
