Moore didn't record a reception (on two targets) during Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Chargers.

Moore could see additional reps at wide receiver moving forward, with the team's two top expected weapons at the position, Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee), likely down for an extended period. However, Moore logged just 13 snaps following Rice's departure Sunday, so there may not be that much upside for the second-year wideout, even with a slightly clearer path to snaps. Xavier Worthy (45), Justin Watson (43) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (32) all played more snaps than Moore, and Noah Gray (32 snaps) may also see additional work if the team elects to run more two-tight end sets moving forward.

Raymond caught his only target for nine yards in Monday's 42-29 win over the Seahawks.

Raymond was on the field for just five offensive snaps in the contest. The wide receiver has played 10 snaps with the offense over the last two weeks and it appears as though Tim Patrick has taken control of the No. 3 role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams in Detroit.

Smith-Schuster logged zero targets during Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Chargers.

On a positive note, Smith-Schuster tallied the third-most snaps (32) of any Chiefs wideout in Sunday's contest behind just Xavier Worthy (45) and Justin Watson (42). Still, it didn't result in any looks in the passing game. There is hope, however, as Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports that head coach Andy Reid intends to spread the ball around more with Rashee Rice (knee) likely down for a significant period, if not the remainder of the year. That said, a few added looks in the passing game don't necessarily equate to fantasy relevance in most formats.

Watson hauled in two of three targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win versus the Chargers.

The Chiefs' carnage of injuries continued to pile up Saturday, when Rashee Rice (knee) was added to the list. Thus, Watson could be in line for additional snaps moving forward; he logged the second-most snaps during Sunday's game behind Xavier Worthy. Per Adam Teicher of ESPN, head coach Andy Reid plans to spread the ball around more in the absence of Rice, meaning Watson could see a few more looks. Even if that's the case, Watson has been in similar positions in years past, so it remains to be seen if the veteran wideout can provide any significant fantasy value.

Watson (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, but the injury is reportedly viewed as mild and unlikely to result in the wideout being placed on injured reserve, NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports.

Watson was reported to be a candidate for injured reserve as recently as Monday, but it appears the 2022 second-round pick has received some good news regarding the injury he sustained in a loss to the Vikings on Sunday. Green Bay not placing Watson on IR would indicate the team believes he'll be able to retake the field within the next four games. At a minimum, though, Watson seems destined to sit out Sunday's road matchup against the Rams, which will provide Dontayvion Wicks an opportunity to start in three-wide sets alongside Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs. Bo Melton and Malik Heath will also figure to handle increased roles until Watson returns to full health.

Turner rushed once for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

His 42 percent snap share marked a season high and came with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined. Although Turner failed to haul in his only target, the 27-year-old hit pay dirt on an 18-yard end-around in the third quarter for his first career touchdown. Expect a similar role for Turner behind starters Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker in Week 5 against the Broncos if Adams remains out with the hamstring injury.

Williams brought in both targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.

Williams appeared on his way to another disappointing performance after a one-catch dud against the Cardinals in Week 3, but he ripped off a 70-yard catch-and-run for a critical touchdown late in the third quarter Monday night. Williams now has three 70-yard-plus performances over the first four games of the season, but after drawing a combined 20 targets over the first pair of contests, he's logged just five in the subsequent two games. Williams will remain a somewhat big-play-dependent option when the Lions return to action against the Cowboys in a Week 6 road battle Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye.

St. Brown secured all six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown and also threw a seven-yard touchdown on his only pass attempt in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.

St. Brown recorded a team-high number of catches and his second receiving touchdown of the campaign on an eight-yard grab in the fourth quarter. However, his most eye-catching moment of the night came in the unusual role of quarterback, as he threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Jared Goff on the Lions' version of the Philly Special just past the midway point of the third quarter. St. Brown now has at least six receptions in three straight games, and when he returns to action against the Cowboys on the road Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye, he'll be striving to reverse a two-game trend of dwindling receiving yardage totals.

Lockett posted five catches (on nine targets) for 61 yards during Monday's 42-29 loss at Detroit.

In a game in which QB Geno Smith put up a career-high 56 pass attempts for 395 yards, no Seahawks pass catcher had more than Jaxon Smith-Njigba's eight receptions, and DK Metcalf led the team with 104 receiving yards. Lockett himself unsurprisingly saw a season-best target count, but he has yet to score a touchdown on the campaign, and his weekly output so far hasn't been something to write home about. Lockett will attempt to make some inroads on Metcalf and Smith-Njigba this coming Sunday against the Giants.

Smith-Njigba finished with eight catches off of 12 targets for 51 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to Detroit.

Smith-Njigba wound up tying DK Metcalf in targets (12) in Monday's exciting primetime matchup, but the latter produced the stronger fantasy line (7-104-0) compared to his upstart teammate. The lack of production makes the sophomore's performance feel underwhelming, but the fact that he garnered double-digit targets twice in Seattle's last three contests bodes well for his rest-of-season projections. JSN remains a solid deep-league play with upside heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Giants.
