  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Hauls in second TD of season

    Jeudy caught four of five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders.

    After two quiet games while he dealt with a rib injury, Jeudy appeared to be fully healthy when he hauled in a 20-yard TD late in the second quarter, his second score of the season. The third-year wideout has yet to see more than seven targets in a game so far this year, but with Javonte Williams (knee) potentially set to miss time, Jeudy could see a much bigger role in Week 5 against the Colts.

  • Chase Claypool WR | BUF

    Steelers' Chase Claypool: No receptions against Jets

    Claypool failed to secure either of his two targets during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

    Claypool saw a steady increase in production over the first three weeks of the season, but he was held without a catch against the Jets. He drew a deep target early in the second half, but the pass was intercepted after being tipped. The Steelers' pass catchers face a tough test against Buffalo next week, but it's possible that rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett draws his first career start after Mitch Trubisky was benched for the second half of Sunday's loss.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Gets into end zone against Raiders

    Sutton caught five of seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders.

    The wide receiver got the Broncos on the board in the first quarter with a five-yard TD grab, his first score of the season. Sutton's 52 yards were his lowest total in four games, however, and his seven targets tied for fewest as well. With Russell Wilson growing more comfortable in the offense and Javonte Williams (knee) potentially set to miss time, Sutton could have a much bigger role in Week 5 against the Colts.

  • Bears' Velus Jones: Makes NFL debut

    Jones wasn't targeted in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Jones did contribute by returning two kickoffs for 44 yards and a pair of punts for 19 yards. He missed part of training camp along with the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury. It's possible he begins to see more work on offense in the near future, but with the Bears averaging fewer than 20 pass attempts per week, there may not be many targets to go around.

  • Bears' Ihmir Smith-Marsette: First target with Chicago

    Smith-Marsette failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Smith-Marsette has seen limited snaps on offense, but his only contribution on the stat sheet has been a 17-yard kick return in Week 2. Unless his role changes, his fantasy value will remain low.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    Bears' Dante Pettis: Posts no stats in loss

    Pettis failed to catch any of his three targets in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Aside from a 51-yard touchdown in Week 1 on a broken play, Pettis has failed to catch another pass this season. Unless his role changes, and the Bears begin throwing the football more, Pettis is unlikely to collect many receptions.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Makes three grabs

    Agholor caught three of four targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Packers.

    Agholor led the Patriots in receiving yards, evidencing the team's mild passing output on a day when rookie third-stringer Bailey Zappe was forced to fill in for the injured Brian Hoyer (head) while usual starter Mac Jones (ankle) was unavailable. It remains to be seen who will be under center in Week 5 versus Detroit, and Agholor's stock could also be impacted by fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers' (knee) status, making New England's injury report worthwhile to monitor throughout the coming week.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Just two catches on seven targets

    London had two receptions on seven targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    Atlanta's passing game was a non-factor despite the team getting the victory, resulting in poor stat lines for London and the rest of the receiving corps. The Falcons' first-round pick from this year's draft led the team with seven targets, with no other wideout receiving more than two. London had been a reliable starting fantasy option prior to Sunday's dud, so fantasy managers should remain confident heading into a matchup against Tampa Bay next Sunday.

  • Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Targeted twice

    St. Brown failed to catch a pass but gained nine yards on the last play of the game in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    On the final play of the game, the Bears were pitching the ball around in an effort to tie the game. On the play, St. Brown was one of the players involved, running for nine yards before pitching the ball to a teammate. This was the first time in four games that he's posted fewer than 18 yards. With 11 targets on the season, his fantasy scoring ceiling is limited.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Scores in second straight

    Doubs caught five of eight targets for 47 yards and a touchdown but lost a fumble in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Patriots.

    Doubs had a mixed performance in Green Bay's narrow victory. The rookie coughed the ball up following his first reception, then rebounded with a 13-yard touchdown grab to help tie the game in the fourth quarter. While that score gave Doubs two in as many weeks, he failed to secure a would-be 40-yard touchdown on the Packers' next drive, losing the ball while going to the ground in the end zone. Despite that big missed opportunity, quarterback Aaron Rodgers went back to Doubs in overtime, helping the wideout match Allen Lazard for the team lead in targets. Although his showing wasn't perfect, Doubs maintains good early season traction ahead of Week 5's game in London versus the Giants.
