  • Tai Felton WR | MIN

    Vikings' Tai Felton: Gets first NFL reception

    Felton had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

    Felton has been used almost exclusively on special teams and only got 12 snaps on offense late in the game in a blowout win. He has less upside for playing time on offense with the return of Jordan Addison from a suspension next week. Still, he showed promise in training camp and could be a factor if injuries strike the receiving corps.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks

    Lamb is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks due to the high-ankle sprain he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Bears, though the Cowboys haven't yet officially ruled him out for Week 4 against the Packers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Dallas executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that the Cowboys would "would love to have [Lamb] back for Green Bay," per Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News, though Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the star wide receiver is considered unlikely for Week 4 and will instead be evaluated within the next 10-to-14 days. While a 3-to-4 week absence seems realistic given the severity of Lamb's injury, it appears the team may hold out hope he's able to manage an earlier return and thus not place him on IR. In any case, George Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson will figure to step up as the leader of Dallas' passing attack until Lamb is ready to retake the field, with wideouts Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin also likely for bumps in volume.

  • Skyy Moore WR | GB

    49ers' Skyy Moore: Gets involved on offense Sunday

    Moore brought in his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Cardinals.

    Moore was on the field for 32 snaps on offense (52 percent) after logging a combined five snaps on that side of the ball over the first two weeks of the season. The 24-year-old still handled his usual return duties, racking up 87 combined return yards between three punts and two kickoffs. Moore may be strictly limited to special teams Week 4 with Demarcus Robinson (suspension) expected to return against the Jaguars next Sunday.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | MIA

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: One target in defeat

    Atwell failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles.

    Jordan Whittington has clearly pushed ahead of Atwell on the depth chart at this point, and for the second straight week, Atwell's single target fell unsecured. The veteran second-round pick was on the field for just 25 of the Rams' 66 snaps on offense, falling in line with his typical usage this season, and a breakout seems less and less likely as Puka Nacua and Davante Adams continue to command the lion's share of Matthew Stafford's attention. The Rams take on the surprisingly hot Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.

  • 49ers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: First reception with SF

    Valdes-Scantling had one reception for nine yards in Sunday's 16-15 win over Arizona.

    Valdes-Scantling finally recorded his first catch as a member of the 49ers after posting bagels in his first two appearances. The 30-year-old was on the field for 17 snaps (26 percent) and finished behind Ricky Pearsall, Kendrick Bourne and Skyy Moore in terms of playing time and production. With San Francisco expecting reinforcements to the receiver room Week 4, Valdes-Scantling may find his marginal role on offense reduced further.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Does little with four touches

    Whittington secured two of three targets for seven yards and rushed twice for seven yards during Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles.

    Once again operating as the tertiary option at wideout, Whittington found little room to run when presented with opportunities and was unable to replicate the huge 40-yard catch from last week against the Titans. On the field for exactly half of the Rams' snaps on offense, Whittington seems to have secured his hold as the No. 3 wideout for the Rams, a role that is unlikely to hold much fantasy appeal given the dominance Puka Nacua and Davante Adams have in target share; 23 of Matthew Stafford's 33 pass attempts were targeted to the duo.

  • 49ers' Kendrick Bourne: Nabs four receptions in spot-start

    Bourne had four receptions (on six targets) for 38 yards in Sunday's 16-15 win over Arizona.

    Bourne got the spot start in place of Jauan Jennings (ankle) on Sunday, finishing with season highs in targets, receptions and yardage. The 29-year-old Bourne saw his playing time increase from 49 percent as the third receiver last week to 73 percent as the starter. Jennings may end up missing just one game, and suspended WR Demarcus Robinson likely will be active Week 4, so the small role Bourne carved out in recent weeks may vanish in short order.

  • David Sills WR | TB

    Falcons' David Sills: Catches first pass since 2022

    Sills caught one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers.

    After playing only five offensive snaps through Atlanta's first two games, Sills saw extended action during Sunday's blowout and caught his first pass since 2022, when he was with the Giants. As long as Jamal Agnew (groin) and Casey Washington (concussion) are sidelined, Sills will be the No. 5 wideout behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Not on same page with Penix

    McCloud caught two of five targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers.

    McCloud's role has been volatile to start 2025. He played 73 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 1, securing three of five targets for 51 yards. In Week 2, McCloud played only 24 percent of the offensive snaps and didn't record a catch on two targets. On Sunday, the veteran WR was more involved, playing over 70 percent of the offensive snaps and garnering five targets again. However, the entire offense struggled to find any consistency. McCloud is the clear top slot option, but he remains the fifth in the offensive pecking order behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | LV

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Three receptions in win

    Nailor had three receptions for 37 yards on five targets in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

    Nailor stayed active in the passing game after Carson Wentz took over at quarterback as the two appeared to have a good rapport. Nailor will move to the No. 3 wide receiver role next week with the return of Jordan Addison from a suspension, which could reduce his workload and targets.
