Moore caught one of his two targets for three yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Bengals.

Moore hardly contributed to the stat sheet, but it's at least encouraging that he was on the field for virtually half of Carolina's offensive plays. Following Week 2, coach Ron Rivera stated his intent to get Moore involved, and his uptick in playing time reflected that initiative. Now, as the Panthers head into their bye week, we'll see if they can get the ball in Moore's hands more going forward.

Agholor caught four of his five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Colts.

Agholor saw a season-high snap count but season lows in targets, catches, and yards in Carson Wentz's first game back from an ACL injury. Virtually all of the fourth-year wideout's work came close to the line of scrimmage with the lone exception being an incompletion on a deep route. Meanwhile, tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert saw 17 targets between them. Whether that was a game-plan specific blip or Carson Wentz's preference is tough to determine after just one Wentz start, so Week 4's matchup in Nashville should be telling.

Robinson had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Buffalo.

He played nine snaps on offense, which is encouraging since he was only signed to the roster earlier in the week. It's possible he could challenge Laquon Treadwell for the No. 3 receiver role once he's more familiar with the playbook, but the offense has had few targets for receivers outside of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.

Treadwell had four receptions on four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss at Buffalo.

His four receptions were a career high. Even though he got a lot of playing time in a blowout loss (58 snaps on offense), it's still encouraging for his outlook that he remained the No. 3 receiver after having three key drops the week before. It looks like he'll still be a steady part of the offense, but the offense has few targets for receivers outside of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.

Jones caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 26-10 victory over the Patriots.

Jones continues to be an afterthought in the Lions offense and is only really seeing the field in order to keep the receivers above him on the depth chart fresh. Injuries could force him into a bigger role at some point, but at this juncture, Jones is not worthy of fantasy consideration in any format.

Dorsett was on the field for 45 of a possible 48 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Lions.

Though targeted five times, Dorsett did not catch a pass in the game. After hauling in 12 catches for 110 yards and a TD in two contests out of the gate, Dorsett's early-season window of opportunity is starting to close. The Patriots acquired Josh Gordon (hamstring) last week, and he's a threat to Dorsett's snap count once he's healthy and up to speed with the Patriots offense. Additionally, Julian Edelman is due back Week 5, following the completion of his four-game suspension. Looking ahead, Dorsett will still be in the team's pass-catching mix, but the looming reinforcements will hamper his weekly target volume.

Jones caught his only target for a 17-yard gain in Sunday's win in Minnesota.

Jones has been a clear-cut starter all season and even led all receivers in snap count Sunday with 42 snaps, but there's even some worry with that figure in that the Bills used all five receivers Sunday, while Jones' time amounted to just 63 percent of the offensive plays. If it was another receiver for another team, we could chalk it up to the Bills not needing to throw much in a game well in hand, but in Jones' case the focus continues to be horrible output for a starter. He stands at just six catches for 106 yards and no scores through three games, and in 18 pro contests his receiving high is 68 yards.

Shepard caught six of seven targets for 80 yards and a touchdown against the Texans on Sunday.

With Evan Engram (knee) out, Shepard was Eli Manning's clear No. 2 read after Odell Beckham. While Shepard is not as explosive as Beckham, he's a reliable second wideout for Manning and could see a bigger target share if Engram misses more time.

Beckham caught nine of 10 targets for 109 yards Sunday against the Texans.

His longest play was only 30 yards, but Beckham made some nice catches in traffic and used his elusiveness to steal extra yards. He looks completely healthy after last year's major injury.

Montgomery had four carries for 16 yards and six receptions for 48 yards in Sunday's loss to the Redskins.

Montgomery had his most active game of the season, receiving 10 touches after putting up that same number over the first two contests. Despite the increase in opportunities, Montgomery played a season-low 20 snaps, as fellow running back Aaron Jones returned to action and joined the mix. Montgomery has been productive this season, averaging 4.9 YPC while catching nine passes, but Jones' 17 snaps nearly matched Montgomery's total despite it being his first game back, and he figures to cut into Montgomery's workload further moving forward.
