Concepcion finished Sunday's 21-18 victory versus Carolina with two catches on nine targets for nine yards. He also returned one punt for one yard.

Concepcion actually tied tight end Harold Fannin for the team lead with nine targets, but the rookie wideout managed to haul in just two of those looks. His receptions went for five and four yards, continuing what has become a trend, as he's averaging a meager 6.7 yards per reception so far this season. The target share indicates that the Browns want Concepcion to be an integral part of the passing game, but so far he doesn't seem to be clicking with QB Deshaun Watson.

Loveland secured all four targets for 31 yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Head coach Ben Johnson appeared to make a concerted effort to get the ball into Loveland's hands Monday after the tight end's slow first two games, and that approach met with some success. While all three components of Loveland's receiving line qualified as season-high figures, the second-year pro's longest reception went for just 12 yards and he was well behind the wideout trio of Kalif Raymond, Luther Burden and Rome Odunze in receiving yards. Loveland's chemistry with fill-in signal-caller Case Keenum was encouraging, however, and the duo should have a chance to continue working together in Sunday's Week 4 home matchup against the Jets.

Nailor caught one of his three targets for 16 yards in the Raiders' 35-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Nailor struggled for the Raiders in Week 3. The team relied more on tight end Brock Bowers to carry the receiving offense. Tre Tucker and Nailor received over three times fewer targets than the tight end in the contest, with Bowers establishing the pecking order early in his return from injury.

Odunze secured three of six targets for 44 yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Odunze was relegated to a complementary role in the 20-point victory, finishing fourth in receptions and third in both receiving yards and targets for the Bears on the night. While Odunze entered the season as the presumptive No. 1 receiver, veteran offseason addition Kalif Raymond, who had familiarity with head coach Ben Johnson's scheme from their mutual time with the Lions, has enjoyed an expanded role over the first three games while gathering in an impressive 19 of 21 targets. Conversely, Odunze is averaging a career-best 17.4 yards per reception but has a modest eight catches and no touchdowns through three games, numbers he'll look to significantly boost during a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

Helm notched two catches on four targets for 14 yards Sunday in a loss to the Giants.

Helm and fellow tight end Daniel Bellinger each had two catches in the contest, though Helm garnered two more targets. After opening the campaign with a 4-28-0 line against the Jets, Helm has managed a combined 4-27-0 line across his subsequent pair of games. He'll look to be more productive next Sunday in Baltimore, though Tennessee's passing game as a whole is struggling so far, averaging just 159.0 yards per game -- third-fewest in the NFL.

Burden secured seven of 11 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for seven yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

The second-year wideout led the Bears in receptions and targets in the impressive win with totals that also qualified as season highs, while checking in second only to Kalif Raymond in receiving yards. Burden also scored his first touchdown of the season on a nifty shovel pass that he took eight yards to the house while breaking multiple tackles near the goal line to cap off Chicago's opening possession. Burden's ability to click with fill-in signal-caller Case Keenum bodes well for the receiver's fantasy prospects, considering Caleb Williams (hamstring) is still projected to miss several more games. Burden will look to carry over the momentum into a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

Barner caught 5-of-9 targets for 69 yards in the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Barner saw an intense target share in Sunday's contest, picking up the slack for the Seahawks' offense. The Commanders' defense relentlessly prioritized Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the game developed, leaving Barner to see plenty of attention in a losing effort.

Hurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 153 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing four times for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Hurts scuffled through the air as much as his final suggests, averaging a modest 6.1 yards per attempt while taking a pair of sacks. The star signal-caller also absorbed a big hit on the sideline at the end of a two-yard scramble shortly before the midway point of the second quarter, and he missed four plays while undergoing a concussion check he subsequently passed. Hurts led the Eagles to their only points upon checking back in for the following possession, one he capped off with a one-yard touchdown run as time expired in the first half. That would prove to be the highlight of an otherwise forgettable night, and Hurts is averaging a modest 206.7 passing yards per game while carrying a 5:3 TD:INT into a Week 4 home showdown against the Rams on Sunday.

Raymond caught 6-of-7 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown as well as two punt returns for 15 yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday.

Despite having three quarterbacks throwing him the ball in as many weeks, Raymond continues to be a top option for the Bears' receiving offense. The wide receiver was second in targets Monday night, second only to Luther Burden (11), who did not manage to exceed Raymond in yards. The returner's additional value on special teams just further adds to his offensive allure as the season continues.

Keenum completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for six yards and another score in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Keenum's final numbers underscore how effective he was running Ben Johnson's aggressive offense against a quality defense. The 38-year-old signal-caller, who got the starting nod over Tyson Bagent in Caleb Williams' (hamstring) stead, connected with seven different targets overall, facilitating multi-reception tallies for four of his pass catchers. Keenum completed an eight-yard shovel pass to Luther Burden for his first touchdown toss of the night, and he followed it up with an impressive 41-yard scoring strike to Kalif Raymond in the latter portion of the third quarter for his two TD passes. He then closed out the scoring with a one-yard run just past the midway point of the final period, rounding out a rewarding fantasy night. Given Monday night's results, Keenum appears well in line to be under center for a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.
