Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Iffy for Sunday
Lions head coach Dan Campbell was non-committal about St. Brown's availability for Sunday's game against the Panthers while the receiver tends to an unspecified injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Campbell offered no insight into the injury, which St. Brown presumably sustained in the Lions' 34-20 win over the Packers last Thursday. St. Brown took on a relatively normal snap share (88 percent) in that game and finished with five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown, so no sign of injury was evident in his playing time or production. The Lions will hold their first official Week 5 practice Wednesday and release their injury report after the session, at which time the nature of St. Brown's injury will be known. Birkett notes that the Lions held an informal practice Tuesday, and while St. Brown didn't take part in team drills, he was spotted running at full speed off to the side under the supervision of trainers.

Deonte Harty WR | BAL
Bills' Deonte Harty: Two grabs in win
Harty secured both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins.
Harty had a quiet day against the Dolphins on Sunday, playing just 15 of the Bills' 58 offensive snaps. The veteran wideout saw the fewest snaps of any Bills' receiver, playing behind Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Trent Sherfield and Khalil Shakir. Despite him being in a high-powered offense, Harty's 21 percent snap share average is limiting his opportunities to be a consistent contributor in Buffalo. Buried on the depth chart, the 25-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar, barring injuries to Buffalo's receiver corps. Harty and the Bills are set to take on the Jaguars in Week 5.

Trenton Irwin WR | NYJ
Bengals' Trenton Irwin: One catch in loss
Irwin secured his only target for 17 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.
Irwin had a quiet game Sunday, playing just 22 of the Bengals' 53 offensive snaps. The veteran wideout's reception was his first of the season, as he has found it difficult to get involved in the Bengals struggling passing attack thus far. It's possible that his role could expand some with fellow receiver Tee Higgins dealing with a fractured rib. Even so, Irwin should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a matchup with the Cardinals in Week 5.

Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Dyami Brown: Two grabs in loss
Brown secured two of this three targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Eagles.
Brown operated as the Commanders' No. 4 receiver Sunday, playing 25 of the team's 78 offensive snaps. Despite his limited opportunities, the veteran wideout was able to record his highest yardage total of the season so far. Even so, Brown is extremely difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production playing behind fellow pass catchers Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel and Logan Thomas in Washington's passing attack. The Commanders will host the Bears in Week 5.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Held catchless in loss
Moore failed to secure both of his targets while playing 72 percent of the snaps on offense Sunday in the Cardinals' 35-16 loss to the 49ers.
Despite playing the second-most offensive snaps of any Cardinals receiver Sunday, Moore was unable to have any impact on the game from a production standpoint. The veteran wideout was a complete non-factor, being held without a catch for the first time this season. Moore's limited volume make him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even though he occasionally delivers explosive plays such as the 45-yard touchdown run he had in the Cardinals' upset win over the Cowboys in Week 3.

Zach Pascal WR | NYG
Cardinals' Zach Pascal: Three grabs in loss
Pascal caught three of his four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers.
Pascal played just 21 of Arizona's 71 offensive snaps Sunday, but his four targets in the contest were his most in a game so far this season. Despite the increased opportunity, the veteran wideout was unable to have much of an impact. Pascal will likely remain extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes going forward barring injuries in the Cardinals' receiving corps. The Cardinals will host the Bengals in Week 5.

Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Targeted once in win
Bobo didn't catch his only target in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants.
Bobo logged 20 offensive snaps, ranking fourth among Seahawks wide receivers and behind fellow rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba (27). The undrafted rookie will continue to play a role in the offense both because of his blocking ability and the team's lack of receiver depth.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Three short catches
Smith-Njigba caught three of six targets for five yards in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants.
Smith-Njigba is running routes almost exclusively near or even behind the line of scrimmage, as evidenced by his minuscule aDOT (average Depth of Target) of 1.6 yards. It's disappointing usage for the first-round pick, but it's encouraging that he's still averaging five targets per game. It's worth noting that he suffered a fractured wrist in training camp and likely wasn't 100 percent coming into the season, so the Seahawks' Week 5 bye could help get him more acclimated to the system.

Amari Rodgers WR | IND
Colts' Amari Rodgers: Joins Indianapolis roster
Indianapolis signed Rodgers off its practice squad Tuesday.
Rodgers played just four snaps in his 2023 debut Sunday, but the Colts evidently saw enough to promote him to the active roster with Ashton Dulin (knee) on injured reserve. Rookie third-rounder Josh Downs has struggled a bit to find his footing out of the slot up to this point, so Rodgers may be closer to the field than it appears.

Stanley Berryhill III WR | DET
Stanley Berryhill: Eligible to play
Berryhill had his suspension lifted by the league Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Berryhill was one of multiple Lions to be hit with a suspension in April for violating the league's gambling policies. He was waived by the team shortly thereafter and has remained a free agent since. However, with the NFL and NFLPA agreeing to adjust the league's gambling policy, Berryhill's suspension has come to an end two weeks early, after he served four games of the initial six-game ruling.
