  • Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Held quiet in Week 3 loss

    Wicks recorded two receptions for 32 yards on five targets in Monday's 27-7 loss to the Bears.

    Though he didn't find paydirt, Wicks played a critical role on the Eagles' lone scoring drive on the night late in the second quarter, leading off the possession with a 13-yard catch and run. He was otherwise held in check while the game was still competitive, with his lone other reception coming with 6:30 remaining, when the Bears had built a 20-point lead. Through his first three games with Philadelphia, Wicks has produced a 9-179-1 receiving line on 15 targets.

  • Makai Lemon WR | PHI

    Eagles' Makai Lemon: Notches three receptions in loss

    Lemon recorded three receptions for 29 yards on four targets in Monday's 27-7 loss to the Bears.

    After taking the field for north of 60 percent of the snaps in both of the Eagles' first two contests, Lemon wasn't a major beneficiary of the absence of tight end Dallas Goedert (knee). Even though the Eagles leaned more heavily on three-wide formations, Lemon saw only a slight uptick in playing time Monday, logging 35 of 50 snaps (70 percent). The rookie first-round pick appears to be little more than a tertiary option in the passing game at this stage of his career, as he's thus far been held to seven catches for 38 yards on nine targets through his first three NFL games.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Finds paydirt in Week 3 win

    Bryant recorded two receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown on two targets in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams. He also scored on a two-point conversion.

    Bryant reached the end zone for the first time this season with 7:44 left in the third quarter, connecting with quarterback Bo Nix on a five-yard catch. The second-year wideout has seen his snap share gradually climb through the first three weeks, topping out at 70 percent in Week 3. The Broncos have been without Marvin Mims (foot) for the past two games, however, so Bryant could see a slight downturn in playing time once the Denver receiving corps is at full strength.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Notches TD in Week 3

    Skowronek hauled in his lone target for a 23-yard touchdown during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals.

    Skowronek ranked fifth among Steelers receivers by playing 11 of the team's 62 offensive snaps, but the 29-year-old was able to connect with quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a pass to the end zone during his limited time on the field. Despite coming up with a big play in the Week 3 win, Skowronek remains likely to see most of his field time on special teams moving forward.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Heads to IR

    The Raiders placed Bech (forearm) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Bech will be sidelined for at least the Raiders' next four games after sustaining a fractured left forearm during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints. In a corresponding move, the Raiders signed Cody White off their practice squad. White could be the leading candidate to replace Bech as the Raiders' No. 3 wideout behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Held to two catches in Week 3

    Freiermuth recorded two receptions for 30 yards on four targets and carried once for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals.

    Freiermuth took the field for 37 of the Steelers' 62 offensive snaps, with his 60 percent share placing him slightly behind fellow tight end Darnell Washington (47 snaps, 76 percent). The Steelers should continue to make ample use of two-tight-end sets to keep Freiermuth involved in their game plans, but since he doesn't project to see heavy target volume week to week, he'll remain a largely touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | PIT

    Steelers' Rico Dowdle: Spectator for Tuesday's practice

    Dowdle (toe) was present for Tuesday's practice but was a non-participant, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

    After sitting out Sunday's win over the Bengals due to a right toe injury, Dowdle will go down as a non-participant on the Steelers' first two Week 4 practice report. Unless he's able to fit in some on-field work during Wednesday's session, Dowdle will likely be ruled out ahead of Thursday's game in Cleveland. Dowdle's potential absence for a second straight game would set up Jaylen Warren for another heavy workload out of the backfield, after Warren handled 20 touches in Week 3.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Another muted performance

    Godwin gathered in three of four targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings.

    Godwin ranked third among Buccaneers wide receivers in snap share (62 percent) behind Ted Hurst (75 percent) and Emeka Egbuka (74 percent) in Week 3, resulting in his least productive performance of the season. On top of that, Godwin hasn't been targeted more than four times in a game so far on the campaign. With undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels set to take over Tampa Bay's offense for at least a few contests in the wake of Baker Mayfield's dislocated right thumb, Godwin doesn't have an ideal situation in which to build momentum from week to week.

  • Giants' Braxton Berrios: Appointed to Giants' roster

    The Giants signed Berrios off their practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    After failing to win a spot on the Giants' roster coming out of preseason, Berrios re-signed with the organization as a member of the practice squad. The Giants elevated him from the practice squad ahead of each of their first three games, with Berrios going without a target over 22 snaps on offense but holding a critical role on special teams as the team's kickoff and punt returner. With the Giants releasing Odell Beckham on Tuesday, Berrios will now be awarded a permanent spot on the 53-man roster.

  • Max Brosmer QB | MIN

    Vikings' Max Brosmer: Receives promotion from practice squad

    The Vikings will sign Brosmer off their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

    With the Vikings trading J.J. McCarthy to the Giants on Monday, Brosmer will be awarded a spot on the 53-man roster and slot in as the team's No. 3 quarterback behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. As an undrafted rookie last season, Brosmer appeared in eight games for the Vikings and completed 47 of 71 pass attempts for 328 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions while carrying seven times for 11 yards and also losing a fumble.
