Raymond caught one pass for minus-two yards and rushed once for 40 yards during Thursday's win over the Packers.

Raymond logged about half of the offensive snaps he had seen in each of the past two games as Detroit spent most of the second half running the ball. While he did next to nothing as a receiver in the first half anyway, Raymond still made an impact on punt returns and his 40-yard scamper on an end-around was the biggest reason Detroit was able to quickly gain a two-touchdown lead early in the second quarter. More valuable in real terms than in fantasy, Raymond will enter a Week 5 matchup with Carolina as nothing more than a differentiating option in single-game DFS contests.

Reynolds caught three of six targets for 69 yards during Thursday's win over the Packers.

Reynolds again logged the majority of offensive snaps and saw another six targets for the third time in four weeks. Oddly coming off a zero-target showing Week 3, it was encouraging for his fantasy investors to see Reynolds back in the box score even if it remains a concern that he can completely disappear from a game. With Marvin Jones ineffective at this stage of his career and the diminutive Kalif Raymond largely a clear-out runner, Reynolds should be good for a handful of targets every week as the next-best wideout after Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Smith (illness) is practicing Friday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The quick return after one missed practice suggests Smith isn't dealing with a serious illness and will be ready for Sunday's game against Washington. He may even avoid a designation on the final injury report Friday afternoon.

Toure was targeted once and caught one pass for 35 yards in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Lions.

The reception was easily Toure's longest of the season, but it was the only pass he saw thrown his direction, which isn't too surprising given that he played far fewer snaps than he did in the first three weeks. With fellow wideout Christian Watson joining the fray in Week 4 and another one -- Malik Heath -- dropped from the game-day roster, consider Toure Green Bay's fifth receiver moving forward.

Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Agnew (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta in London, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

While the Jaguars want to wait and see how Agnew feels ahead of kickoff, Pederson said he's optimistic the speedster will play. If Agnew is available, he could see increased snaps on offense for a second straight week due to Zay Jones (knee) being ruled out again. Agnew secured four of five targets for 49 yards during last week's loss to the Texans, temporarily putting him on the map as a deep-league option and cheap DFS play ahead of the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Jones didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week, and coach Doug Pederson said the receiver was a "long shot" to suit up for the Jaguars' game in London. Jones is officially unavailable for a second consecutive week, which should lead to larger roles for Tim Jones and/or Jamal Agnew (questionable - quad) again.

St. Brown secured five of seven targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 34-20 win over the Packers on Thursday night.

The star wideout took a back seat to running back David Montgomery, who pace Detroit's victory with a 121-yard, three-touchdown effort on the ground. However, St. Brown found a way to make an impact via his 24-yard scoring grab in the first quarter. The third-year star's reception and receiving yardage totals were season lows, yet he remains an elite option in all formats heading into a Week 5 home matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 8.

Reed brought in three of five targets for 55 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Green Bay and returned one punt for no gain.

The highlight of the speedy rookie's night was a game-long 44-yard grab, which accounted for the majority of the wideout's production. Reed still saw a solid target total in what was Christian Watson's season debut -- in fact, he outpaced the latter by one in that category -- an encouraging development with respect to his potential involvement moving forward. Reed has already developed plenty of chemistry with Jordan Love, and he'll have a chance to continue building that rapport ahead of a Week 5 road matchup versus the Raiders on Monday night, Oct. 9.

Doubs brought in nine of 13 targets for 95 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

Doubs comfortably led the Packers in receptions, receiving yards and targets despite the season debut of Christian Watson after the latter's recovery from a hamstring injury that led to three straight absences to open the season. Doubs was also the intended receiver on Love's second interception of the night, one that came at the Lions' four-yard line and essentially sealed the win for Detroit. The 2022 fourth-round pick now has a 20-224-3 line heading into a favorable Week 5 road matchup against the Raiders on Monday night, Oct. 9.

Watson (hamstring) brought in two of four targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

Watson's season debut would have been a total dud had it not been for a one-yard touchdown grab just before the midway point of the third quarter. The speedy second-year wideout was way behind fellow starter Romeo Doubs, who turned 13 targets into a 9-95 line. The 24-year-old Watson was also the intended receiver on Jordan Love's first interception of the night, which came at the Packers' 27-yard line early in the second quarter and led to the Lions' first touchdown. Watson will now have plenty of extra opportunity to continue shaking off rust and build chemistry with Love, as the Packers don't return to action until a Week 5 Monday night road matchup versus the Raiders on Oct. 9.
