Jalen Richard catches six passes against the Dolphins.

Richard was targeted seven times, gaining 59 yards ons his six receptions. Richard’s targets, receptions, and yards were all second on the game. DeAndre Washington was notably inactive despite no longer being listed on the injury report, and Richard remains locked in as the clear lead receiving back for the Raiders. Richard is in FLEX conversation for PPR leagues in Week 4.

Ray-Ray McCloud catches first career pass in first NFL action.

After being inactive in Week 1 and Week 2, McCloud caught a six-yard pass in Sunday’s win over Minnesota. He also operated as the team’s punt returner. The Clemson product isn’t on the fantasy radar, but he has a prime opportunity to carve out an offensive role on a depth chart that’s starved for playmakers.

Zay Jones caught one pass in Sunday’s win over the Vikings.

It went for 17 yards. Buffalo’s second-year receiver doesn’t need to be owned in 10- or 12-team leagues heading into a matchup with the Packers. He might need to wait until 2019 for a potential breakout with the hope that more weapons around Jones will allow him to thrive.

Charles Clay caught two passes for 18 yards in Sunday’s win over Minnesota.

Tight ends are usually a good security blanket for young quarterbacks, but Josh Allen hasn’t relied on Clay much through two starts with just four receptions and 47 yards. Perhaps the veteran will get going against Green Bay in Week 4, but he’s nothing more than a borderline TE2.

Jason Croom scores first-career touchdown in win over the Vikings.

Croom found himself wide open on a first quarter score from 26 yards out for his only reception of the game. The 24-year-old isn’t a recommended fantasy option heading into a matchup with the Packers.

Evan Engram is dealing with a sprained MCL and is week to week, according to Adam Schefter.

Engram left Sunday’s game with a knee injury, and it sounds like it’s leading to a multi-week absence for the second-year tight end. Engram got going in Week 2 against the Cowboys with a  7/67/1 line, but fantasy owners will need to look elsewhere for a TE1, and Sterling Shepard could be asked to handle more targets for the Giants. If he is available, David Njoku would be a good pickup now that Baker Mayfield is under center for Cleveland, but Engram should still be rostered, particularly if you have an IR spot to stash him on.

Andre Holmes caught three passes for 29 yards in Sunday’s win over the Vikings.

Holmes continues to operate as a top-three receiver for Buffalo, but he isn’t a recommended fantasy option on a low-volume passing attack.
