  • Kaden Davis WR | CLE

    Browns' Kaden Davis: Works in return game

    Davis did not play on offense and returned one kickoff for 28 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Green Bay.

    Davis was called up from the practice squad for the day, giving the offense a sixth wideout, but he was one of two receivers who didn't get on the field with the offense. He may have been added so that the Browns wouldn't feel the need to expose Jerome Ford or Isaiah Bond on special teams.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Just two grabs Sunday

    Kupp had two receptions on three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over New Orleans.

    Kupp reverted to his low-usage role after commanding nine targets in a Week 2 win over Las Vegas. The veteran wideout finished third in targets, receptions and yardage for the Seahawks behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba (5-96-1) and Tory Horton (3-32-1). Perhaps Kupp can get more involved in Week 4 against a familiar NFC West opponent in the Cardinals on Thursday Night Football.

  • Jamari Thrash WR | CLE

    Browns' Jamari Thrash: Snap count drops Week 3

    Thrash caught two of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers.

    Thrash, a fifth-round draft pick in 2024, was hoping to make a leap in his second season, but he's no better than fourth on the depth chart. He opened the season competing with Isaiah Bond as the No. 3, but Thrash played just 12 snaps Sunday compared to Bond's 43. Thrash has four catches for 18 yards through three weeks.

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Finds end zone in Week 3

    Pittman recorded six catches on six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans.

    Daniel Jones distributed targets fairly evenly, as four Colts pass catchers were targeted at least four times. Pittman led the way in every statistic, highlighted by a 20-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter and a 17-yard gain later in the same quarter. While Pittman has the potential to be the leader of the receiving corps, targets have been relatively evenly distributed through three weeks, so Pittman will need to rely on efficiency to deliver strong statistical lines in most weeks.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Playing time spikes Week 3

    Bond caught two of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Green Bay.

    Bond made his first start of the season and was given 43 snaps, nearly as many he had over the first two games. He's gone from 21 snaps in Week 1 to 28 in Week 2 before prior to a big jump in usage Sunday. Bond has emerged as the Browns' No. 3 wideout, which might normally hold value but not necessarily on an offense that has managed to score only 15 points per game.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Cracks century mark in win

    Pearsall racked up eight receptions on 11 targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 16-15 victory over the Cardinals.

    Pearsall was the last man standing for the 49ers' starting passing offense with Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder), George Kittle (hamstring) and Jauan Jennings (ankle) all missing Sunday's tilt. The 24-year-old Pearsall was up to the task, finishing as the club's leading receiver while making several key drive-extending grabs. Expect Pearsall to continue spearheading San Francisco's depleted receiver room -- potentially with his starting QB back under center -- against the Jaguars next Sunday.

  • A.J. Brown WR | PHI

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Breaks out of early-season slump

    Brown recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.

    The Eagles had taken to the air sparingly in the first two weeks of this season, and Brown entered the game with 35 total yards from scrimmage. However, Philadelphia fell behind early against the Rams, and Jalen Hurts had to attempt 32 passes in a comeback effort, allowing Brown to get more opportunity. He turned that into several highlight-worthy plays, including a 38-yard catch deep down the right sideline early in the third quarter and a nine-yard touchdown catch one possession later. It's no surprise that Brown was productive when given the chance, and the Eagles could be pushed once again in a Week 4 matchup against the Bucs.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Three catches in Week 3 win

    Tillman caught all three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers.

    Tillman, who had 15 targets and two touchdowns through the first two weeks, was kept out of the end zone for the first time and had his fewest targets of the season. The production drop in Week 3 has more to do with Cleveland's sputtering offense and shouldn't be seen as a designed plan to reduce Tillman's role. He's been on the field for 86 percent of the offensive snaps, second only to Jerry Jeudy (86.5 percent) among the Browns wide receivers.

  • Travis Hunter WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Hunter: More productive on defense in win

    Hunter brought in one of two targets for 21 yards and recorded six tackles (four solo) in the Jaguars' 17-10 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Hunter had a nice splash play on his one reception, his longest gain yet as a pro. However, the rookie also saw his lowest target total to date, leading to new lows in receptions and receiving yards as well. Meanwhile, Hunter was heavily involved on defense, but it would be accurate to say the Colorado product has been a significant disappointment as an offensive player over three games. Trevor Lawrence's own struggles in Liam Coen's offense certainly have a part to play, and perhaps the duo will have better chemistry in a Week 4 road trip to San Francisco.

  • Christian Kirk WR | HOU

    Texans' Christian Kirk: Three catches in season debut

    Kirk (hamstring) brought in three of four targets for 25 yards in the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Making his season/team debut, Kirk finished tied for third in receptions on another relatively difficult day for the Texans' passing game. The veteran wideout was projected to serve as an effective short-to-mid-range complement to Nico Collins coming into the season, and now that Kirk is finally healthy, he'll have a chance to start building chemistry with C.J. Stroud on an ongoing basis and likely provide Houston's struggling air attack with a boost. Kirk next takes aim at the Titans' inconsistent defense in a Week 4 home matchup.
