Jones failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Eagles.

The 32-year-old appeared primed for an increased role Sunday with Zay Jones (ankle) inactive, but rainy conditions and Trevor Lawrence's five giveaways stymied the offense. The turnovers limited Jacksonville to only 47 offensive plays, and Marvin Jones was an afterthought in the passing game with only a single target. The elder Jones will need to be more involved in the offense going forward to find much fantasy relevance.

Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Shenault will undergo an MRI on Monday after he pulled his right hamstring during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Shenault missed last Thursday's practice due to a left hamstring injury, but he reportedly hurt his other hamstring Week 4. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but the MRI results will provide further clarity.

Nailor had one reception for 13 yards on a fake punt in Sunday's win over New Orleans in London.

Nailor hasn't had a snap on offense this season, as his role is mostly limited to special teams (where he's worked as the gunner on punt coverage).

Osborn had one reception for six yards on two targets and also lost one yard on one carry in Sunday's win over New Orleans in London.

After a season-high eight targets and a touchdown last week, Osborn was back to his more limited third receiver role. He played on 56 of the offense's 76 snaps, which was slightly more than usual. Despite a new offensive-minded head coach in Minnesota, the No. 3 WR continues to be an afterthought in the offense, despite his Week 3 spike in production.

Dulin had two receptions for 18 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

Dulin played on 19 of the offense's 65 snaps as he has moved back to the fourth receiver role the past two weeks with Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce healthy. Dulin continues to outplay Parris Campbell, so it's possible he could be the team's third receiver before too long.

Campbell had four receptions for 43 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

Campbell nearly duplicated his output from the first three games (47 yards) combined. Despite his best game of the season, he played on just 67 percent of the snaps on offense after playing 77 percent or more Weeks 1-3 as the Colts utilized two- and three-tight end sets more frequently Week 4. Campbell may continue to have a smaller role in the offense, despite his slight increase in production.

Coach Ron Rivera noted Monday that Dotson's hamstring injury "might keep him out a week or two," Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Though the 2022 first-rounder officially hasn't been ruled for Week 5 action, it looks like he'll be hard-pressed to play Sunday against the Titans based on Rivera's comment. If Dotson does miss time, Dyami Brown, Cam Sims and Dax Milne would be candidates to log added WR snaps behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel.

Coach Jon Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman's fourth-quarter absence during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills was due to a foot injury, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Harbaugh called Bateman day-to-day and downplayed the severity of the issue, per Shaffer, so it appears that the second-year pro still has a chance of suiting up Week 5 versus the Bengals. The foot injury provides some context to Bateman's three catches (on six targets) for 17 yards, a season-low for him in terms of receiving yardage. Wednesday's first official injury report of the week will provide an update on Bateman's status.

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday about Jones (ankle), "I think he'll be ready to go," Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was expected to suit up for Sunday's loss to the Eagles but ultimately was ruled out before kickoff, to the detriment of Jacksonville's offense. Pederson said more information about Jones' status will come later in the week, likely via monitoring him at practice, but it looks like the No. 2 wideout has a real chance of returning this Sunday versus the Texans.

Burks suffered a turf toe injury during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Burks won't require surgery to address the injury, but Rapoport also noted that he's expected to miss multiple weeks and could hit IR. Coach Mike Vrabel, meanwhile, declined to offer an expected recovery timetable for the first-round rookie Monday, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. If Burks indeed misses time, all of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Cody Hollister could benefit from increased opportunities starting with Week 5's matchup against Washington.
