  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Getting MRI on hamstring

    Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Evans (hamstring) is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Evans was forced out of Sunday's win over the Jets due to a hamstring issue, and while Bowles said the team is optimistic that the star wideout has escaped with a low-grade injury, a full update on Evans' health won't arrive until after Tuesday's evaluation at the earliest. It remains to be seen whether Evans will be available to suit up Week 4 against the Eagles. On a positive note for Tampa Bay, Chris Godwin (ankle) appears to be nearing a return to the field, and the ascension of rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka provides some stability in the passing game.

  • Tim Patrick WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Tim Patrick: Quiet in Week 3

    Patrick caught his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans.

    The 31-year-old wideout from Utah has seen his snap share rise each week in Jacksonville, playing a season-high 21 offensive snaps Sunday. However, Patrick still operated as the team's No. 5 wide receiver and saw just one target, suggesting he's a minimal part of the offensive gameplan. He's expected to continue playing behind Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter, Dyami Brown (shoulder) and Parker Washington in a Week 4 matchup against the 49ers.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Nabs touchdown vs. Buccaneers

    Lazard caught two of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Despite being a healthy scratch in the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Steelers, Lazard has played 39 offensive snaps across the team's last two games. He went without a catch in Week 2 but stepped up in the absence of Josh Reynolds (hamstring) in Week 3, catching a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The 29-year-old wideout is expected to remain a depth option in the Jets' wide-receiver corps heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Two catches versus Steelers

    Boutte was on the field for 56 of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, en route to catching two of his three targets for 28 yards.

    While Boutte led Patriots WRs in snaps Week 3 for the second straight game, his target volume was modest, as QB Drake Maye spread the ball around Sunday. After opening the season with a six-catch, 103-yard effort, Boutte's recent output makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option ahead of this weekend's game against the Panthers.

  • Tyler Johnson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Tyler Johnson: Logs 32 yards in Week 3

    Johnson caught two of three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

    For the second consecutive week, the 27-year-old received increased snaps with the Jets' first-team offense while filling in for the injured Josh Reynolds (hamstring). Johnson tied Allen Lazard for the second-most targets among New York receivers, trailing Garrett Wilson's 13 looks. Regardless of whether Reynolds returns in the Jets' Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins, Johnson is expected to continue playing a depth role in the team's wide-receiver corps.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Two catches Sunday

    Douglas, who logged 29 of 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught two of five targets for seven yards.

    Douglas was out-snapped by fellow WRs Kayshon Boutte (56 snaps, two catches), Mack Hollins (46 snaps, four catches) and Stefon Diggs (39 snaps, three catches). Through the Patriots' first three games, Douglas has caught five of his 13 targets for 13 yards and a TD and added four yards on one carry. Based on his production so far, Douglas is a speculative fantasy option at best unless he picks up the pace.

  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: Two catches vs. Tampa Bay

    Smith caught both of his targets for two yards during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

    With Josh Reynolds (hamstring) sidelined for the Jets' Week 3 loss, Smith played a career-high 48 offensive snaps. However, his increased workload didn't translate to production, as the rookie from Georgia was targeted just twice. Through his first three NFL games, the 23-year-old has posted three catches for 10 yards and one carry for minus-10 yards. The Jets' wide receiver corps is largely unproven outside of Garrett Wilson, so Smith's role could continue to grow in the Jets' Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Roman Wilson WR | PIT

    Steelers' Roman Wilson: Not targeted against New England

    Wilson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

    Wilson was held without a target for the second time in the first three weeks of the regular season, and he was on the field for just 17 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 3. Although Wilson appears to be third on the Steelers' depth chart at wide receiver, he's unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role as long as DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin stay healthy.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Panthers' David Moore: Minimal output in win

    Moore caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

    The veteran wideout went without a target and played just 23 offensive snaps through Carolina's first two games this season. However, with Xavier Legette (hamstring) inactive in Week 3, Moore saw a significant uptick in usage and logged a team-high 53 snaps among Panthers wide receivers. This large snap share didn't translate to production, as Carolina leaned heavily on the run while protecting a big lead. Moore could see increased opportunities again if Legette is sidelined in Week 4, when the Panthers travel to New England.

  • Panthers' Brycen Tremayne: Two grabs vs. Atlanta

    Tremayne caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

    The Stanford product finished third on the Panthers in receiving yards Sunday, bringing his season total to five catches for 63 yards across three games. Tremayne ranked fourth amongst Carolina receivers in offensive snaps played (16), suggesting his role could diminish once Jalen Coker (quadriceps) returns from injured reserve. However, while Coker remains sidelined, Tremayne is expected to continue serving as a depth option in the Panthers' wide-receiver corps.
