Bell caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

With Caleb Douglas (ankle) inactive and De'Von Achane suffering a torn ACL in the first half against Kanas City, Bell was one of the biggest beneficiaries from both a playing time and opportunity perspective. His seven targets were tied for second on the team with Greg Dulcich behind Malik Washington's 10. If Douglas needs to miss more time, Bell could again see elevated snaps Sunday against Minnesota.

Washington caught five of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs. He rushed two times for five yards.

Washington became the focal point of the offense following De'Von Achane's season-ending torn ACL in the first half. Moving forward, Washington needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats after seeing a combined 12 opportunities against Kansas City. On the season, he's recorded 12 catches for 152 yards on 23 targets. He's also handed three rushing attempts for nine yards.

Thornton caught both of his targets for 22 yards in the Chiefs' 24-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Thornton saw less attention from Patrick Mahomes than in the Chiefs' Week 2 overtime win over the Colts. Thornton saw 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the contest, down from 59 percent and 68 percent in the prior weeks. The lack of downfield targets and attention to the No. 3 wide receiver could be a result of a strong run game that ran out the clock against a trailing opponent.

Shaheed caught two passes on three targets for 14 yards during the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday, He also returned three punts for 29 yards and added 63 yards on two kickoff returns.

Shaheed continued to operate as the Seahawks' primary returner on special teams, and his 31 offensive snaps were third-most among Seattle wide receivers behind Jaxson Smith-Njigba (58) and Cooper Kupp (45). Shaheed has yet to find the end zone this season, with his last touchdown taking place in the 2025 NFC divisional round against the 49ers, when he took the game's opening kickoff 95 yards to the house. The Seahawks will play five of their next six games at home, starting this Sunday against the winless Chargers.

Williams caught two passes on four targets for 15 yards during the Commanders' 33-31 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

The rookie third-rounder's two catches both came in the second quarter, and his six-yard reception at the 0:41 mark helped lead to a 57-yard field goal from Drew Stevens two plays later to give the Commanders a 17-10 lead heading into halftime. Williams' 28 offensive snap were third-most among Washington's wide receivers, ahead of Treylon Burks (25) and Dyami Brown (21) but well behind Terry McLaurin (52) and Stefon Diggs (41). Williams will take a 9-103-1 receiving line (on 11 targets) into a Week 4 clash against the Colts this Sunday in London, England.

Cameron secured one of two targets for a 12-yard touchdown in Sunday's 35-6 win over the Patriots.

Cameron got the scoring started early in the second quarter, catching the first of Trevor Lawrence's three touchdowns. Cameron played 23 offensive snaps against New England, the same amount as Brian Thomas behind Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers, who both played 50 snaps on offense. Cameron could be pushing Thomas for the WR3 role in Jacksonville.

Boutte hauled in both of his targets for 21 yards during the Texans' 19-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

For a second consecutive week, Boutte operated in an elevated role on offense due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring). Boutte's 37 offensive snaps actually led all Texans wide receivers, but he didn't see a target from C.J. Stroud until late in the fourth quarter, when the duo connected on back-to-back passes of 15 and six yards. Those two catches set the Texans up in the red zone and led to a Woody Marks one-yard rushing touchdown at the 1:50 mark. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston on Monday, head coach DeMeco Ryans expressed optimism that Collins would be back for Week 4 against the Cowboys. Collins' practice participation in the coming days will shed light on what Boutte's workload may look like against Dallas this Sunday.

TeSlaa caught all three of his targets for 66 yards in the Lions' 31-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Detroit's third receiver, TeSlaa played 48 percent of the offensive snaps against New York but made the most of his opportunities and ended up leading the team in receiving yards. With Jameson Williams continuing to struggle to get going early in the season, TeSlaa could start earning a couple more looks from Jared Goff. It's still unlikely to be enough to put TeSlaa in the redraft fantasy mix unless one of Williams or Amon-Ra St. Brown misses time with an injury.

Flournoy caught just two of eight targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens.

Flournoy logged 66 percent of the offensive snaps against Baltimore, and his eight targets were good for second on the team and a respectable 20 percent share. He obviously was unable to do much with them against a stingy Ravens secondary. Flournoy has a valuable role as the third receiver in a Dallas offense that likes to use plenty of 11 personnel, but he'd likely need an injury to CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens to become anything more than a bench stash in fantasy.

Jeudy finished Sunday's 21-18 victory against Carolina with no targets or touches.

It was the second straight week that Jeudy didn't log a reception, and this time he didn't even get a target (he logged just one in Week 2 versus Tampa Bay). The veteran wideout continues to be on the field fairly often -- he's recorded an offensive snap share of over 50 percent in each of the Browns' three contests, including Sunday, when he played 51 percent of the team's offensive snaps. However, he doesn't seem to be clicking well with QB Deshaun Watson, and at this point fantasy managers have little reason to include him in their lineups.
