Tucker caught five of six targets for 41 yards and added a three-yard rushing touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Tucker tied Jakobi Meyers for the team lead in catches, and while he was eight yards and four targets shy of Meyers' totals as a receiver, Tucker more than made up for that with a three-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Tucker had 96 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 loss to the Panthers, but most of that production came with the game out of hand, so it was encouraging to see him remain heavily involved from the get-go in Sunday's competitive win. Tucker should continue to play a larger role in Week 5 against the Broncos if Davante Adams (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Meyers caught five of 10 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Meyers paced the Raiders in targets and receiving yards in the absence of Davante Adams (hamstring). Adams is considered week-to-week, so Meyers could remain the team's de facto No. 1 wide receiver in Week 5 against the Broncos. Meyers has 19 targets over the last two games after being targeted only eight times in the first two games of the season.

Whittington brought in six of eight targets for 62 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Whittington was the Rams' leader in receptions and targets while checking in second in receiving yards to Tutu Atwell. The rookie sixth-round pick now has upped his catches, receiving yards and targets in three successive weeks, benefitting from the absences of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee). With Kupp uncertain to return for a Week 5 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday, Whittington could continue enjoying an expanded role.

Jeudy turned nine targets into six receptions for 72 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.

Jeudy took a backseat to fellow starter Amari Cooper last week, but the former bounced back to lead the Browns in targets, receptions and yardage against the Raiders. Cleveland's passing game has been underwhelming in 2024 with Deshaun Watson under center, limiting Jeudy to 18 receptions (30 targets) for 197 yards and one touchdown through four games. Those numbers are good enough for those in deeper and PPR formats, but Jeudy lacks the upside to warrant "must-start" status in standard fantasy leagues heading into a Week 5 matchup against Washington.

Atwell brought in four of six targets for 82 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Atwell finished second in receptions while leading the way in receiving yards for the Rams, an encouraging encore to his 4-93-0 line on five targets against the 49ers in Week 3. The ongoing absences of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee) are fueling Atwell's increase in opportunity, and there's a chance Kupp isn't yet back in action for next Sunday's home matchup against the Packers.

Nailor secured one of two targets for 31 yards and netted no gain on one punt return in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Nailor shifted to the No. 3 receiver role due to Jordan Addison returning from a two-game absence due to an ankle issue, but the former still made an impact on his one catch. The 2022 sixth-round pick saw his season-opening touchdown streak snapped at three games, but given his speed, Nailor should continue seeing a small share of complementary targets from Sam Darnold overseas in a London battle against the Jets in Week 5.

Campbell brought in all four targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Campbell finished with the second-most receptions and tied for the second-most targets on an afternoon in which A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) were sidelined. The veteran also was on the receiving end of Jalen Hurts' only touchdown pass, hauling in his first scoring grab since Week 10 of the 2022 season on a one-yard catch late in the second quarter. Campbell was elevated from the practice squad for the contest due to the absences of Brown and Smith, but with the duo likely to get healthy over a Week 5 bye, Campbell may not be on the active roster for a Week 6 home matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Downs recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Downs was on the field for 51 percent of offensive snaps in Week 3 -- his season debut-- but he appeared fully up to speed against Pittsburgh seven days later. He matched Michael Pittman in targets and led the team in receptions while working primarily in short areas of the field and as an effective chain-moving presence. However, he also showed plenty of playmaking ability, highlighted by a four-yard touchdown late in the first quarter and a 25-yard catch and run to help set up an additional score later in the third quarter. Downs' skills likely mesh better with Joe Flacco as opposed to Anthony Richardson (hip), though he's gained a foothold in the Colts' offense and should have the chance to be productive regardless of who is under center.

Dortch caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders.

Dortch tied with Michael Wilson for second on the Cardinals in receiving yards, seven behind Marvin Harrison's team-high 45. The slot receiver has caught 15 of 20 targets for 131 yards heading into a Week 5 road game against the 49ers.

Wilson caught three of seven targets for 38 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders.

Wilson failed to step up in the absence of tight end Trey McBride (concussion). The second-year wideout led the team in targets but struggled to get on the same page with Kyler Murray after the pair connected for eight completions in Arizona's previous game. Wilson will look to bounce back in Week 5 against the 49ers, but Marvin Harrison should continue to pace Arizona's pass catchers.
