  • Samori Toure WR | PHI

    Packers' Samori Toure: Snap count takes hit

    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.

  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Considered game-time call

    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.

  • Zay Jones WR | HOU

    Jaguars' Zay Jones: Won't play 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.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Finds end zone in Week 4 win

    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.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Game-long catch in loss

    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.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Paces pass catchers in Week 4 loss

    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.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Relatively quiet in debut

    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.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Rams' Ben Skowronek: Misses practice Thursday

    Skowronek (Achilles) did not practice for the second straight day Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    The wide receiver emerged from Monday night's loss to the Bengals with the injury. Skowronek caught one pass for three yards in the Week 3 defeat. The third-year pro has zero starts and four targets through three games.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Still managing rib injury

    Metcalf (ribs) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Metcalf is beginning Week 4 prep as he started Week 3, the result of a lingering rib injury. While he handled a lower snap share (72 percent) this past Sunday against the Panthers than he did in the first two games of the season, he actually put together his most productive performance (6-112-0 on eight targets) to date. It appears the Seahawks will manage Metcalf's on-field reps until he's past the current concern, and the extra day of rest ahead of Monday's road game versus the Giants should allow him to continue to be available to Seattle's offense.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Gets back to full participation

    Nacua (oblique) was a full practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Nacua finally is back to handling all practice reps due to a lingering oblique issue, which first reared its head on the second injury report of Week 2. Despite the health concern, he handled at least 85 percent of the offensive snaps in both of the last two games and continued to produce, as evidenced by his 30-338-0 line on 42 targets to begin his career. Nacua will aim to keep it up Sunday against a Colts defense that has yielded the ninth-highest catch rate (69.6 percent) to opposing wide receivers this season.
