Metcalf had seven receptions (on 12 targets) for 104 yards while losing a fumble in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.

Metcalf overcame an early turnover to wind up leading all receivers in Monday's high-scoring affair. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the star wideout was unable to cash in Seattle's lone passing touchdown after Kenneth Walker punched in three rushing scores. It was still a strong showing from Seattle's No. 1 wideout, who now has hit the century mark in receiving yards for three weeks running. Metcalf will ride this hot streak into a Week 5 tilt against the Giants on Sunday.

Ridley caught one of three targets for five yards and added a 10-yard rush in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.

Ridley was a non-factor for a second consecutive game. After starting his Titans tenure with 137 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown through two games, Ridley has just 24 total yards in the last two games heading into a Week 5 bye. Ridley will try to get back on track Week 6 against the Colts, though it remains to be seen if he'll be catching passes from Will Levis (shoulder) or Mason Rudolph, the latter of whom had 85 passing yards after replacing the injured Levis in the first quarter Monday.

Hopkins caught two of four targets for 31 yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.

Hopkins led the Titans in targets and tied with Tyler Boyd for the team lead in receiving yards, as Will Levis (shoulder) and Mason Rudolph combined for just 110 passing yards in the run-heavy win. Levis is mistake-prone but can push the ball downfield more effectively with his stronger arm. Luckily for Hopkins' fantasy prospects, Levis will have a chance to recover during Tennessee's Week 5 bye before a Week 6 matchup with the Colts.

Waddle secured four of six targets for 36 yards in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Miami's offense ironically got off on a very good foot with 30 yards over its first two plays, and Waddle accounted for 14 of those on the Dolphins' first play from scrimmage. However, much like the team as a whole, it would go on to be a quiet and largely unproductive night for Waddle, who did record an 18-yard grab in the fourth quarter but gained just four yards on his other two catches. Like fellow wideout Tyreek Hill, Waddle doesn't figure to come close to flashing his true potential while working with either Tyler Huntley or Skylar Thompson (ribs) as his quarterback, and he'll face a pair of talented Patriots cornerbacks in a Week 5 road matchup.

Hill secured four of seven targets for 23 yards and rushed three times for 19 yards in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Hill's numbers unsurprisingly continued to be significantly compromised by the Dolphins' tenuous quarterback situation, as Tyler Huntley wasn't able to deliver any more of a competent performance than Week 3 predecessor Skylar Thompson (ribs). With the Dolphins' backfield particularly short-handed due to Jeff Wilson's pregame knee injury and Raheem Mostert's (chest) inactive status, Hill also did some moonlighting in the ground attack with a season-high carry count. The elite wideout, who did wipe out a 22-yard reception with his own illegal shift penalty in the fourth quarter, figures to continue having trouble capitalizing on his talents in a Week 5 road matchup against the Patriots. Either Huntley or Thompson figure to serve as his quarterback for that contest, and New England does have a pair of talented cornerbacks in Jonathan Jones and Christian Gonzalez.

Tipton reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons.

Tipton played a season-high 39 percent of offensive snaps Week 4. But, this didn't translate to more targets, as the undrafted rookie out of Yale has now totaled five targets while appearing in each of the first four games this season. He's still seen consistent playing time behind top three wideouts Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Cedrick Wilson so far, so Tipton's role could increase if any of these starters miss time with injury at some point in the future. The Saints will have an extra day of prep before the Week 5 matchup against the Chiefs on Monday night.

Shepard reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Shepard was afforded a large workload in his second appearance of the season Sunday against the Eagles with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) inactive and Trey Palmer suffering a concussion in the contest. On his 50 (of 77) offensive snaps, Shepard hauled in three of five targets for 51 yards, which mostly was fueled by a 30-yard catch. With all of Mike Evans (knee/calf), McMillan and Palmer estimated as non-participants and Kameron Johnson (ankle) listed as limited on Monday's injury report, Shepard is poised for another expanded look in the Buccaneers offense for Thursday's game at Atlanta, assuming he's elevated again from the practice squad.

Campbell reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

With both A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) sidelined Week 4, Campbell earned his biggest workload of the season yet Sunday at Tampa Bay, finishing second among Eagles wide receivers behind Jahan Dotson (49 snaps) with 48 of 57 offensive snaps. Campbell paced the position group with four catches (on four targets), which he turned into 17 yards and one touchdown. Philadelphia has a Week 5 bye, giving Brown and Smith time in their respective recoveries to get healthy before the team's next game Sunday, Oct. 13 against the Browns. The Eagles also have used three elevations on Campbell, meaning he must be signed to the active roster in order to contribute Week 6 and beyond.

Ross reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Elevated for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Ross played 12 offensive snaps for the Eagles and caught one of two targets for six yards as the fourth wideout with A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) out.

Smith reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Smith was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss to the Bears, most notably returning one punt for 17 yards while playing 10 snaps with the special-teams unit. He failed to record any stats on offense, playing two snaps in the contest. Smith can be elevated one more time before Los Angeles would have to sign him to its active roster.
