Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Not targeted against Chargers
Bryant failed to record a single target in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
Bryant was a nonfactor Sunday, playing just 13 of the Broncos' 52 offensive snaps in the contest. The rookie wideout remains stuck on the depth chart behind fellow receivers Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims and Trent Sherfield. Bryant remains off the fantasy radar until his role in the offense develops. Nonetheless, the 22-year-old will have his next opportunity to earn more playing time when the Broncos host the Bengals in Week 3.

Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: One grab in loss
Mims caught one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
Mims continued his disappointing start to the 2025 campaign, as the third-year wide receiver has recorded just six catches for 40 yards and a touchdown through three games. The 23-year-old operated as Denver's No. 3 wideout behind both Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. Quarterback Bo Nix and Mims had trouble connecting in the contest, as Nix struggled with accuracy while pushing the ball down the field. The Oklahoma product hasn't had the role in the Broncos' offense that fantasy managers hoped for thus far, making him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Mims will look to get more involved in Denver's aerial attack when the Broncos host the Bengals and their vulnerable defense in Week 4.

Tez Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: Blanked on one target Sunday
Johnson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 29-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.
The rookie played on 21 snaps (29 percent snap share) but was barely involved. Johnson had been a healthy scratch Week 2 against the Texans and was in on just eight snaps Week 1, but as a result of Mike Evans' hamstring injury, Johnson could retain active status in a Week 4 home matchup against the Eagles despite the potential return of Chris Godwin (ankle).

Jameson Williams WR | DET
Lions' Jameson Williams: Gains 43 yards on MNF
Williams had two receptions (on three targets) for 43 yards in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens.
Williams garnered a season-low three targets in a contest where the passing offense took a back seat to monster rushing performances from Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. The 24-year-old Williams managed to break off a couple of chunk plays on his two grabs, but the end result was mediocre from a fantasy perspective without a trip to the end zone. Williams is averaging a massive 21.8 yards per reception this season, so there's upside available for those who can stomach the lows that come with a boom-or-bust asset. The Lions will prepare to host a tough Cleveland defense Sunday.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Cashes in fourth TD on MNF
St. Brown hauled in seven of eight targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 38-30 victory over Baltimore.
St. Brown carried over the momentum from his standout three-score game against the Bears last week into Monday's tilt, where he posted prototypical WR1 numbers on the road against the Ravens. The 25-year-old shook his assignment with a double move in the third quarter to hit pay dirt for the fourth time this season. The star wideout also chipped in an assist that will not show up in the box score when he pitched the ball to Jahmyr Gibbs on a fourth-down option play that resulted in a touchdown for his teammate. St. Brown will boast a pristine 20-237-4 receiving line heading into a Week 4 matchup against Cleveland on Sunday.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Limited to two grabs in loss
Flowers brought in two of three targets for 13 yards in the Ravens' 38-30 loss to the Lions on Monday night.
After coming into the night with an impressive 14-218-1 line that he'd generated over the first two games of the season, Flowers crashed down to earth in the interconference clash. The 2023 first-round pick's downturn was precipitated by a significant drop in targets, as he drew just three looks from Lamar Jackson after seeing a combined 20 over the first pair of contests. Flowers is likely to be much more involved in another potential wire-to-wire battle versus the Chiefs on the road in Week 4.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Gets into end zone Monday night
Bateman brought in five of seven targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 38-30 loss to the Lions on Monday night.
Bateman finished second in receptions and receiving yards for the Ravens behind Mark Andrews, while also setting the pace in targets. Bateman recorded his first touchdown of the season on a three-yard grab just before halftime, and the fifth-year pro has now upped his yardage total over that of the prior game in consecutive contests heading into a Week 4 road showdown with the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon.

Kalif Raymond WR | DET
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Little impact in Week 3
Raymond caught one of two targets for four yards in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens.
Raymond remains an afterthought on offense for Detroit, and his production dropped for the third week in a row. The wide receiver is firmly behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams on the depth chart, and his weekly upside is greatly reduced as a result. On the year, Raymond has caught four of six targets for 34 yards, while also adding a nine-yard carry over three games.

Malik Turner WR | SF
Malik Turner: Lands back on practice squad
Turner reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Turner got his first elevation of the season for Sunday's win over Arizona and logged seven special-teams snaps along with one snap on offense. San Francisco's wideout corps has been depleted early in the season, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is on the PUP list, Jacob Cowing (hamstring) and Trent Taylor (undisclosed) are on IR, and Jauan Jennings (shoulder/ankle) missed Week 3. With that being said, even if Turner gets elevated again Week 4, he probably won't see much (if any) work on offense.

Alex Bachman WR | LV
Alex Bachman: Returns to practice squad
Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Bachman was elevated to the active roster for the third game in a row, failing to record any stats while playing four snaps on offense and 15 snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders. The wide receiver will now be ineligible to appear in another contest this season with Las Vegas unless the Raiders officially sign him to the active roster.
