Wilson secured 11 of 17 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Wilson's afternoon was reminiscent of several of those in his 2025 campaign, as the veteran receiver garnered a bulk of Jacoby Brissett's attention in his short- and mid-range role while leading the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Marvin Harrison was a bit more involved Sunday with three catches for 40 yards on five targets, but it appears clear Wilson and Trey McBride have far and away the most chemistry with Brissett. Wilson will take an 18-163-1 line on 31 targets in a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Purdy completed 15 of 27 passes for 297 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed twice for 34 yards in the 49ers' 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Purdy's completion percentage was below his usual standards, but the fifth-year signal-caller more than made up for it with some effective downfield passing and his quartet of scoring tosses. Purdy's yardage total also got a boost from an 80-yard hook-and-lateral play in the first quarter between Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel that the latter took all the way to the house from San Francisco's 20-yard line, which also served as the quarterback's first touchdown pass of the day. Purdy would go on to connect with Evans (23 yards) and George Kittle (10, 20 yards) for his other three scoring tosses, and he now boasts a 9:1 TD:INT and 789 passing yards over his first three games heading into a tough Week 4 home showdown against the Broncos next Sunday.

Johnson caught all eight of his targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders.

The veteran tight end continues to have an impressive start to the season, hauling in TD strikes of one and two yards from Tyler Shough. but Johnson had a tough end to his day as he fumbled to end the Saints' final possession while they were trying to mount a comeback late in the fourth quarter. Johnson has put together a 15-173-3 line on 19 targets through three games, and he'll look to atone for his miscue in a Week 4 home tilt against the Falcons.

McBride brought in nine of 11 targets for 75 yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

The talented tight end filled his usual workhorse role, finishing second in all of receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Cardinals behind Michael Wilson. The chemistry between McBride and Jacoby Brissett is extremely well-established after a season-plus of working together, and the former already has a 26-211-2 line on 34 targets through only three games, recording at least eight receptions and logging no fewer than 10 targets in each contest. McBride will continue to offer perhaps the best floor of any player at his position in a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Egbuka recorded five catches (on nine targets) for 62 yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings.

Egbuka turned his highest target count in a game this season into his second-most receiving yards (behind Week 1's 63 such yards), but the Buccaneers' passing attack again was inconsistent under the direction of QB Baker Mayfield (17-for-34 for 217 yards, one TD and one interception). Mayfield suffered a dislocated thumb on his right throwing hand on the team's second-to-last possession, so if the veteran signal-caller needs to miss any time, Egubka then would be on the receiving end of passes from undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels, who didn't complete any of his three attempts Sunday.

Love rushed 21 times for 90 yards and brought in all five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Sunday may have marked the official crowning of Love as the Cardinals' unquestioned lead back, as he took 19 more carries than veteran backup Tyler Allgeier. All of Love's rush attempts, rushing yardage, receptions, receiving yardage and targets were new season-high figures for the rookie first-round pick, who also recorded his first career receiving touchdown on a one-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. Love's draft pedigree and talent always made an ascension to the lead role a matter of when and not if, and it will be interesting to see how the Notre Dame product fares in what could be a favorable Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Kamara carried the ball nine times for 36 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders.

The veteran RB once again took a back seat to Travis Etienne to begin the game, but that changed after the former Jaguar aggravated a hamstring strain and left the game in the third quarter. Over the Saints' last five possessions, Kamara split the workload in the backfield with Kendre Miller, getting six touches to Miller's five. The severity of Etienne's injury isn't yet clear, but if he misses significant time, Kamara and Miller would likely continue working in tandem, with rookie CJ Donaldson also potentially mixing in as a short-yardage option.

Addison hauled in five of nine targets for 90 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-16 victory at Tampa Bay.

Serving as the Vikings' de facto No. 1 wide receiver after Justin Jefferson (ankle) exited in the first half and didn't return, Addison parlayed the opportunity into his productive performance of the young campaign. In particular, Addison connected with QB Kyler Murray for a 41-yard TD (his first of the season) with less than five minutes left in the second quarter. Head coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune afterward that Minnesota isn't too worried about Jefferson's health concern, so even if he's able to suit up next Sunday versus the Dolphins, Addison could hold more sway in the offense if Jefferson isn't 100 percent.

McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 75 yards and a touchdown while bringing in four of five targets for 41 yards in the 49ers' 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

McCaffrey's carry total was modest by his standards, but he still outpaced backup Kaelon Black by 11 carries and four targets while also recording a one-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. McCaffrey was highly efficient with his rushing opportunities, and he finished second in receptions and third in targets for the 49ers on the afternoon. San Francisco's pass-catching corps suffered further attrition this weekend -- Mike Evans exited the game with rib and oblique injuries, while Demarcus Robinson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday -- so McCaffrey could continue to see his pass-game work creep up in a Week 4 home showdown against the Broncos next Sunday.

Shough completed 29 of 42 passes for 255 yards and four touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders. He added 36 rushing yards on his lone carry, but also lost two fumbles.

The second-year QB was dynamic once again, tossing two TDs each to tight ends Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant, but protection issues in the absence of left tackle Kelvin Banks (ankle) ending up proving costly as all four of the Saints' fourth-quarter possessions ended in turnovers, causing them to squander a 27-22 lead. Shough has thrown eight touchdowns through three games but has also given the ball away six times (three INTs and three lost fumbles), and he'll try to clean up those issues in Week 4 at home against the Falcons.
