Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Reels in three passes
Bobo secured all three of his targets for 30 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.
Bobo played 27 of the Seahawks 90 offensive snaps Monday, his most of the season thus far. Through four games, the 26-year-old wideout has recorded just five catches for 45 yards. Bobo remains firmly behind DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett on the depth chart, capping his potential for much fantasy utility. The Seahawks are set to host the Giants in Week 5.

Treylon Burks WR | WAS
Titans' Treylon Burks: Another one-catch game
Burks recorded one catch on one target for 13 yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
Burks continued to play around 50 percent of offensive snaps and maintained a limited role in the Titans' game plan. He has no more than one reception in any game this season, and his 13-yard catch late in the first quarter Monday was his longest of the campaign.

Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Titans' Tyler Boyd: Records 31 yards
Boyd recorded two receptions on two targets for 31 yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
Only DeAndre Hopkins saw more than two targets in the Titans' offense during Monday's win. Boyd did manage to tie with Hopkins for the team lead in yardage thanks to a 27-yard reception just before halftime. Despite the relative positivity, Boyd has yet to top 33 receiving yards in a game this season.

Adonai Mitchell WR | NYJ
Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Held catchless against Steelers
Mitchell failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.
Mitchell added one carry for 10 yards in the contest. The rookie wideout failed to record a catch for the second-straight week with teammate Josh Downs back in the lineup in each of the last two games. Mitchell played 20 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps in Week 4, limiting his opportunities to contribute in a meaningful way. As long as Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Downs are healthy, the 21-year-old Mitchell will likely continue to operate in a reserve role, limiting his fantasy utility. The Colts will visit the Jaguars in Week 5.

Jahan Dotson WR | ATL
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Just two catches as No. 1 receiver
Dotson was targeted four times in the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Bucs, finishing with two catches for 11 yards.
Dotson was expected to see an expanded role as the team's top wideout in the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion), and while he did indeed see a season-high number of targets, it's hard to say he made much of an impact. The Eagles have a bye in Week 5, buying Brown and Smith an extra week to recover and push Dotson back down the depth chart.

Odell Beckham Jr. WR | MIA
Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Set to have practice window opened
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Tuesday that Beckham (undisclosed) will have his 21-day practice window opened this week, per NFL.com.
Beckham began the season on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, but it appears the 31-year-old wide receiver's return to practice is imminent. Once fully healthy, Beckham will have an opportunity to claim the No. 3 wide receiver role right off the bat behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Across 14 regular-season games for the Ravens last season, Beckham posted 35 catches (on 64 targets) for 565 yards and three touchdowns.

Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Logs first career catch
Washington secured his only target for eight yards during Miami's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.
Washington played 26 percent of the offensive snaps in his NFL debut. The rookie sixth-round pick missed the first three games of the season due to a quadriceps injury, but he played the same amount in Monday's loss to Tennessee as Braxton Berrios and Dee Eskridge, who was elevated from the practice squad. Washington will look to earn a bigger role against the Patriots on the road in Week 5.

Kameron Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Participates in walk-through
Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant during the Buccaneers' walk-through session Tuesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
Johnson was able to suit up for Week 4 against the Eagles after missing Week 3 against the Broncos due to an ankle injury. He's started this week with back-to-back limited participation designations, and Wednesday's injury report will provide more clarity on his status for Thursday's NFC South showdown against the Falcons. Smith has played 53 snaps (34 on offense, 19 on special teams) and registered one carry for no gain and one target through three-regular season games.

Trey Palmer WR | NO
Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Listed as DNP again
Palmer (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Palmer is highly unlikely to play in Thursday's game at Atlanta, having entered the concussion protocol during Sunday's win over the Eagles. He was filling in for Jalen McMillan (hamstring) as the No. 3 receiver, a role that then fell to Sterling Shepard. With McMillan also listed as a non-participant so far this week, Shepard may again join Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as a regular presence in three-wide formations.

Jalen McMillan WR | TB
Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Listed as DNP again
McMillan (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
McMillan missed Sunday's win over the Eagles and isn't look good for Thursday at Atlanta. Trey Palmer replaced him as the No. 3 receiver and caught a TD early on against the Eagles, but Palmer then left the game with a concussion, thrusting Sterling Shepard into a significant role for the first time in years.
