Hopkins caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Monday's loss to the Lions.

The veteran's snap share remains low despite his per-target productivity. Hopkins has caught five of six targets for 112 yards and two touchdowns through three games. He logged 14 snaps Monday, which amounted to just a quarter of the Ravens' offensive plays while Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace each played over 50 percent of the snaps. While Hopkins has shown he can still play at a high level so far, the low projected snap and target volume make him a difficult player to feel confident starting in redraft leagues.

Bech caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

Bech's lone reception came with the Raiders trailing by 17 in the third quarter, as the TCU product remains firmly in the WR4 role behind Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton. Bech has just two total catches through the first three weeks of the season, and his offensive involvement could be limited again Week 4 versus the Bears.

Thornton caught two of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

Thornton matched Jakobi Meyers' four targets, but fellow wideout Tre Tucker erupted for an 8-145-3 receiving line on nine looks from quarterback Geno Smith, who produced 289 passing yards on just 19 completions in the Raiders' defeat. Thornton has been targeted exactly four times in each of Las Vegas' first three games, and he remains ahead of fellow rookie Jack Bech in the WR3 role with a Week 4 tilt against the Bears looming.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
