Reynolds did not catch either of his two targets against the Jets on Sunday.

On a rainy day where rookie Bo Nix could somewhat understandably only throw for 60 yards against a tough Jets defense, there simply wasn't any room in the budget for Reynolds to see much usage Sunday. Although the Broncos passing game doesn't figure to be prolific at any point in 2024, Reynolds should be in position to bounce back a bit against Las Vegas in Week 5.

Wilson caught five of eight targets for 41 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.

Wilson fumbled at the end of a seven-yard catch on New York's opening drive and wasn't targeted again in the first half. He was more involved after halftime, but Wilson notably failed to get on the same page with Aaron Rodgers on a key pass that would have put the Jets into field-goal range on the team's penultimate possession. A combination of inclement weather and tight coverage from Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain limited Wilson's effectiveness Sunday, but this game continued a pattern of underwhelming performances from the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver. Wilson has yet to exceed 60 receiving yards in a game this season heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Vikings in London.

Shaheed caught eight of 11 targets for 83 yards and added 14 rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons.

The speedster posted nearly identical numbers through the air as Chris Olave (8-87-0 on 10 targets), but no one Saints wideout or tight end managed more than 13 receiving yards. It was an impressive bounce-back effort as a receiver from Shaheed after he was held without a catch the week before, and Sunday's receptions and targets were both season highs for him. The performance was marred by a muffed punt that led to an Atlanta fumble recovery TD in the first quarter, however. The Saints' narrow route tree has Shaheed on pace for a career year with a 15-252-2 line on 25 targets through four contests, but he may need to come up big again in Week 5 against Kansas City.

Sutton caught three passes for 60 yards and one touchdown on nine targets against the Jets on Sunday.

Between the brutal matchup and the rain, Sutton's inefficiency was understandable. There's also additional optimism to be gleaned from the fact Sutton's score was the only one of the game, and as rookie signal-caller Bo Nix gains more experience, it's certainly possible he begins to more consistently unleash Sutton's considerable talents. Sutton has a more favorable matchup awaiting in a Week 5 divisional clash against the Raiders.

Olave caught eight of 10 targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons.

The third-year wideout posted nearly identical numbers through the air to Rashid Shaheed (8-83-0 on 11 targets), but no one Saints wideout or tight end managed more than 13 receiving yards. Olave has topped 80 yards in three straight games, showing impressive consistency as one of Derek Carr's top downfield options. but Sunday's catches and targets were both season highs for him. Olave may need to be productive again in Week 5 against Kansas City in order for the Saints to remain competitive for four quarters.

Addison brought in three of four targets for 72 yards and a touchdown and recorded a seven-yard score on his only rush attempt in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Making his return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury, Addison wasted no time making an impact with a 29-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession of the contest. He then stung the Packers defense on the ground, notching a seven-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. The second-year wideout, who played only 24 snaps in the season-opening victory over the Giants before suffering his injury, appears to be all the way back to full health heading into a Week 5 interconference clash with the Jets in London next Sunday.

Reed secured seven of eight targets for 139 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for two yards in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Reed led the Packers in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon while checking in third in targets. His versatile skill set was on display as usual even though he logged only one rush attempt, as his catch, yardage tallies and targets were all season highs. Reed got into the end zone for the first time since his other 100-yard performance back in Week 1, as he found the end zone from 15 yards out just before halftime for Green Bay's first points. Reed also contributed grabs of 21 and 42 yards on back-to-back plays on the Packers' final drive, making it a stellar all-around effort. The second-year wideout next takes aim at the vulnerable Rams secondary on the road in a Week 5 matchup.

Chase recorded three catches on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Panthers.

Chase was surprisingly relatively uninvolved in the offense, as Tee Higgins drew 10 targets and also led the team in receptions. However, Chase had the most impactful performance of the day thanks primarily to a 63-yard touchdown, during which he bounced off at least three potential tacklers over the middle of the field before sprinting down the sideline for the long score. After a modest start to the season, Chase has nine receptions for 203 yards and three touchdowns combined across the last two contests.

Coach Matt LaFleur said after Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings that Watson relayed to him that he believes he suffered a sprained ankle during the game, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

The severity of the potential sprain isn't known, but Watson had his legs bent back awkwardly on his last play before he eventually was ruled out of Sunday's contest. He'll likely undergo testing to determine the extent of the injury, but if he ends up missing time, the Packers' receiving corps will be composed of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath for as long as he may be sidelined.

Jefferson secured six of eight targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Jefferson was in the customary position of leading the Vikings in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he was able to record his fourth touchdown in as many games to open the season via a 14-yard grab with just over five minutes remaining in the second quarter. The star wideout now has back-to-back eight-target games and at least 81 receiving yards in three straight contests heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Jets in London.
