Kaden Davis WR | CLE
Kaden Davis: Reverts to practice squad
Davis reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Davis played 14 snaps on special teams and returned one kick for 28 yards during the Browns' 13-10 win over the Packers on Sunday. It was the first time he was elevated from the practice squad, and he can be called up twice more before the Browns would be required to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play again this season with Cleveland.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Titans' Tyler Lockett: Some impact in Week 3
Lockett recorded four receptions (on four targets) for 37 yards in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.
Lockett has maintained a consistent snap rate across three games in Tennessee, playing nearly exactly half of the snaps in every contest. His performance in Sunday's loss was his best of the year, highlighted by a long gain of 16 yards. Elic Ayomanor, Calvin Ridley and Chig Okonkwo are likely to remain prioritized ahead of Lockett in the offense, leaving him with limited upside on a weekly basis.

Chimere Dike WR | TEN
Titans' Chimere Dike: Stays involved
Dike recorded three receptions on four targets for two yards in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts. He added two rushes for three yards as well as six kick returns for 162 yards.
Dike looked to have his first career touchdown on a jet sweep midway through the third quarter, though the play was reviewed and it was determined he went out of bounds at the one-yard line. He also commanded four targets for the second consecutive game, though his increased role has resulted in only one total receiving yard on five catches.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre' Harris: Just one target Week 3
Harris failed to haul in his lone target during the Chargers' 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Harris' lone look from Justin Herbert came in the third quarter on a deep pass that fell incomplete. While Harris' production was down from Week 2 against Las Vegas (two catches on three targets for 34 yards), he did see the field for 25 offensive snaps against Denver, and his playing time has increased over the first three games of the regular season. Next up for the Chargers is a Week 4 road bout against the Giants.

Jaylin Lane WR | WAS
Commanders' Jaylin Lane: Returns punt for TD
Lane ran a punt back for a touchdown and lost two yards on his lone reception in a 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
The rookie fourth-round pick was one of five Washington wide receivers with route share above 40 percent but below 60 percent. That was partially a product of Terry McLaurin exiting early with a quad injury and Noah Brown (groin) not being available, but Deebo Samuel also had his snaps scaled way back for reasons seemingly unrelated to any injury. In any case, Lane is making a strong impression in the return game and could eventually take over some of Samuel's tasks on offense if Deebo misses time.

Chris Moore WR | WAS
Commanders' Chris Moore: Targeted twice
Moore caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders.
Moore's 59 percent route share was tops among Washington wide receivers, albeit on an unusual afternoon that saw OC Kliff Kingsbury deploy deep rotations and a slew of players at each position. Terry McLaurin ended up suffering a quadriceps injury in the second half, potentially opening the door for Moore to have a considerable role again in Week 4 at Atlanta, although playing time won't necessarily lead to much production.

Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS
Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Scores first NFL TD
McCaffrey caught each of his three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in a 41-24 win over Las Vegas on Sunday.
With Noah Brown (groin) inactive and Deebo Samuel playing less than usual, McCaffrey split snaps with Jaylin Lane on a day when Terry McLaurin (quad) and QB Marcus Mariota were Washington's only full-time players at the skill positions. McCaffrey scored his TD from 43 yards out in garbage time, against a Las Vegas defense that may have been expecting Washington to simply run out the clock. In any case, McCafrey could get another look Week 4 at Atlanta if McLaurin's quadriceps injury proves to be a real problem.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Considered day-to-day
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings (shoulder/ankle) is considered "day-to-day," Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Jennings was able to play Week 2 with a shoulder injury that he suffered in the season opener, but he emerged from the second contest with an ankle issue that didn't allow him to practice last week. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals but eventually was ruled out. Wednesday's session will mark Jennings' next chance to get his first on-field work since Week 1.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Suspension lifted
Robinson's suspension has been lifted by the NFL, which sets the stage for the wideout to be available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) on the reserve/PUP list and Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) having missed Sunday's 16-15 win over the Cardinals, Robinson -- in his return from a three-game suspension -- has a path to an immediate role in a 49ers wideout corps that was led by Ricky Pearsall in Week 3 and also includes Kendrick Bourne, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore. In 17 regular-season contests with the Rams in 2024, Robinson compiled a 31-505-7 line on 64 targets. It's possible that Robinson is eased back into the mix this weekend, but looking ahead he may end up garnering enough snaps and targets to merit attention in deeper fantasy formats.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: In concussion protocol
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Jones emerged from Sunday's loss in San Francisco with a concussion, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Gannon added that the injury occurred on the Cardinals' last offensive play, which was a Kyler Murray deep shot to Jones at the two-minute warning. Jones logged 33 of 66 snaps on offense Week 3 en route to two catches (on three targets) for 25 yards. With a short week to prepare for Thursday's game against the Seahawks, he'll likely be hard-pressed to make his way through the protocol for head and injuries and suit up for Week 4 action.
