Perriman (knee/hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Unable to practice during Week 4 prep due to knee and hamstring injuries, Perriman carried a doubtful designation into the weekend, which forecast his lack of availability. Scotty Miller will join Perriman in street clothes Sunday, while all of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin (hamstring), Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) are available to Tampa Bay's offense. Perriman's next chance to play is next Sunday against the Falcons.

Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers.

After being deemed a non-participant Thursday, Valdes-Scantling returned to a limited practice session Friday, setting the stage for him to give it a go Sunday night. Through his first three games with Kansas City, he's compiled a modest 10-105-0 receiving line, but as long as steady snaps and targets (seven in each of his last two games) are the norm for the wideout, he'll have a chance to make his mark in the coming weeks if he's able to continue building on-field chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Gage (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Chiefs.

Gage has dealt with a hamstring issue all season, but he's still suited up for all three games, culminating in a 12-87-1 line on 13 targets last Sunday against the Packers. He's unlikely to see such volume this weekend with Mike Evans back from his one-game suspension and Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) also available. That said, Gage still is in line for modest usage, with room to expand if any of the aforementioned trio again head to the sideline.

Pittman recorded three receptions on six targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Titans.

Pittman tied for the team lead with six targets, though that was down considerably from his marks of 13 and nine in his other two games this season. The Titans also kept Pittman limited to short areas of the field, as his longest reception went for only 14 yards. Until the Colts get the run game going or a supporting pass catcher emerges, opposing defenses may be able to focus much of their attention on Pittman. He's still capable of providing big performances, but the state of the Colts' offense could lead to inconsistency in his results.

Godwin (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Chiefs.

Godwin sandwiched a rest day Thursday around a pair of limited sessions, officially entering the weekend as questionable to play for the first time since straining his hamstring Week 1. Now that he's back in the lineup, he'll join Mike Evans at the top of the depth chart, while Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) mix into the passing game and Breshad Perriman (knee) and Scotty Miller (coach's decision) sit out. Godwin may be on a snap count in his return, but his rapport with Tom Brady is notable, so he could make an impact, even with limited targets.

Wilson caught two of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Steelers.

Quarterback Zach Wilson made his return from a knee injury and featured familiar targets Corey Davis (74 yards, one touchdown) and Elijah Moore (53 yards) over the rookie first-round pick. Wilson the receiver still made an impact by helping to set up the first of New York's two fourth-quarter touchdowns with a 35-yard catch, but he'll look to improve his chemistry with the other Wilson -- no relation -- in Week 5 against the Dolphins.

Davis caught five of seven targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Steelers.

Davis' five-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter pulled the Jets within three, and he led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The 6-foot-3 wide receiver has two touchdowns through four games in 2022, and Davis will look to add to that touchdown total in Week 5 against a Dolphins defense that could be depleted at cornerback if Xavien Howard (groin) misses further time after exiting early for Miami in Week 4.

Moore caught three of four targets for 53 yards and rushed once for two yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Steelers.

Moore showed early chemistry with quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) in Wilson's season debut, recording catches of 20 and 28 yards to help set up a second-quarter Jets touchdown. He was quiet the rest of the way but still finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Corey Davis (74). Moore's off to a slow start after a promising rookie season, but he'll look to build on this season-high yardage total in Week 5 against the Dolphins.

Reynolds brought in seven of eight targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 48-45 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Jared Goff's former Rams teammate once again displayed some strong chemistry with his quarterback, stepping up with the top reception, receiving yardage and target totals among the team's depleted wideout corps. Reynolds found the end zone for the second time this season as well, scoring on a three-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Reynolds has a clear-cut complementary role in the Lions' passing attack even when the receiving corps is at full health, but he could be in for another elevated workload in a Week 5 road matchup against the Patriots if one of Amon-Ra St. Brown or DJ Chark sit out that contest with their respective ankle injuries.

Kirk caught two of nine targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Jaguars.

Trevor Lawrence was not in sync with his favorite target, as Kirk was limited to a horrid 22 percent catch rate. The dynamic slot flashed his skills on a 45-yard connection late in the fourth quarter that salvaged an otherwise forgettable fantasy day. Kirk and the Jaguars will look to get back on track against a struggling Houston squad next Sunday.
