#3 - Romeo Doubs

Aaron Rodgers has been missing Davante Adams since the latter's trade to the Las Vegas Raiders, but Romeo Doubs may go some way to fill the void Adams left.

Doubs was outstanding in the Green Bay Packers' victory over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, catching eight passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. He was a constant threat throughout the contest and seemed to have won Rodgers' trust already. Expect him to be on this list again in the coming weeks.

#2 - Chris Olave

NFL - New Orleans Saints v Carolina Panthers

New Orleans Saints first-year wide receiver Chris Olave was one of the few standouts for the team during their loss to the Carolina Panthers.

The Ohio State alum caught nine passes for 147 yards in the game while being targeted 13 times. This gave Olave an average yardage of 16.3 as he continued to help Jameis Winston move the chains. In a new-look pass attack in New Orleans, Olave looks like he'll see plenty of the ball so he could be in for OROY honors.

#1 - Jalen Pitre

NFL - Houston Texans v Chicago Bears

Despite losing to the Chicago Bears in Week 3, Houston Texans rookie cornerback Jalen Pitre was outstanding. He ended the clash with eight total tackles, two TFLs, two passes defended, and a sack. On top of this, he also managed to intercept Justin Fields twice to cap off an incredible display.

If Pitre can keep balling as he did in Week 3, he could prove to be one of the steals of the 2022 NFL Draft, where he fell to Houston in Round 2.
