Young caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints. He also returned two kicks for 92 yards.

Young's a big, speedy wide receiver, and although he hasn't put it together on offense, he may have carved out a role as a returner moving forward. The 2022 seventh-round pick also consistently serves as a gunner on special teams.

Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.

Sam Darnold threw the ball just 18 times in the blowout win, so Bobo's chances to get into the rotation were slim. He's the clear No. 4 wide receiver and won't have much fantasy value unless there's an injury ahead of him on the depth chart.

Arroyo didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.

Arroyo played 50 percent of the offensive snaps, his highest mark of the year. There's no indication that he's encroaching on AJ Barner's workload at this point, but if the trend continues in Thursday's matchup versus the Cardinals, it will be worth keeping an eye on.

Barner caught his lone target for 23 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.

Barner played just 52 percent of the offensive snaps while rookie Elijah Arroyo handled 50 percent, but the split was likely due to the blowout nature of the game rather than a changing of the guard at Seattle's tight-end position. A fourth-round pick in 2024, Barner has produced four receptions for 49 yards through three games this season.

Ogunbowale played exclusively on special teams in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Jaguars.

This was the first time in three weeks that Ogunbowale did not get on the field with the offense, despite him being one of only three backs active for the game. Houston is still without lead back Joe Mixon (foot), but only Nick Chubb and Woody Marks are benefitting. Neither Ogunbowale nor Dameon Pierce -- inactive for a second straight week -- have a meaningful role on offense.

Hutchinson caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.

Hutchinson's playing time was not impacted by the season debut of Christian Kirk, who missed Weeks 1 and 2 due to hamstring injury. While Hutchinson's snap volume remains healthy -- 61.9 percent Sunday, 62.9 for the season -- he's not a high-priority option for C.J. Stroud. Through three games, the wideout has seven receptions on eight targets for 75 yards.

Noel caught his lone target for four yards, returned two punts for 11 yards and two kickoffs for 53 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Noel was the wideout most impacted by the season debut of Christian Kirk, who missed the first two weeks with a hamstring injury. Noel played nine snaps, his fewest in the first three games. He did, however, maintain a role in the return game with a healthy Braxton Berrios inactive Sunday.

Higgins caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.

The season debut of Christian Kirk had little impact on Higgins' workload, as the rookie was on the field for 44 percent of the offensive snaps, right at his season average through three games. That was the positive. The negatives are that Higgins has seen just one target each of the last two weeks, and that quarterback C.J. Stroud needs to elevate his game. Houston's pass attack was held under 200 net passing yards, accounting for yards lost via sack, for a second consecutive week.

Wright tallied nine tackles in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

With Jaylon Johnson (groin) on injured reserve, Wright moved into a starting role and immediately had a dominant IDP performance. When Chicago plays pass-heavy opponents, Wright could be a strong fantasy option.

Robinson recorded four tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Robinson was quiet in Chicago's first two games, but he came up big against the Cowboys. Until the defensive end can put together some consistency, he'll be tough to trust as an IDP option.
