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.

Lockett brought in six of eight targets for 91 yards, returned one punt for seven yards and lost a fumble in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Lockett finished with the second-highest reception, receiving yardage and target totals behind DK Metcalf on the afternoon. The veteran speedster also recorded a 34-yard grab that served as a season high, and he's enjoyed a very busy start to the season with 30 targets in the last three games alone. Lockett's next opportunity to build on his early chemistry with Geno Smith comes in a Week 5 road matchup against the Saints in a dome environment that should favor his speed.

Duvernay brought in four of five targets for 51 yards and returned two kickoffs for 40 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Duvernay's yardage total made him the somewhat surprising leader in that category for the Ravens on an afternoon during which the air attack didn't find much success against the tough Bills defense. However, the third-year speedster has found a way to make an impact in each game thus far, displaying more consistency than in his first two seasons on his way to 12-172-3 line over his first four games. Duvernay's next opportunity continue building on his solid start comes in a key Week 5 AFC North home clash versus the Bengals next Sunday night.

Shenault (hamstring) is questionable to return Sunday against the Cardinals, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Shenault had one carry for no gain before suffering the injury. While he is out, Rashard Higgins may see extra opportunity.

Smith (back) had three receptions (four targets) for 17 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Jaguars.

Jalen Hurts struggled from the pocket Sunday (204 yards, no touchdowns and one interception), resulting in quiet fantasy game for Smith. The 23-year-old was dealing with a minor back issue during practice this week, but he was cleared prior to kickoff and did not appear to be physically limited. Smith will look to bounce back next Sunday against an Arizona secondary that entered Week 4 allowing the third-most passing yards to opposing offenses.

Bateman secured three of six targets for 17 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Bateman was one of the victims fantasy-wise of a lackluster showing through the air for Lamar Jackson. The second-year wideout's receiving yardage total was a season low, but he'll aim to play a much more prominent role in a Week 5 Sunday night AFC North showdown against the Bengals at home.

Davis secured one of three targets for 13 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

The speedster was again questionable with an ankle issue coming into the day, but he was able to play through it without any obvious limitations. However, the Ravens' defense made life more difficult than usual on Josh Allen, leading to Davis' meager showing. He'll look to bounce back from his season-low totals at the expense of the Steelers defense in a Week 5 home matchup.

Brown had a game-high 95 yards on five receptions (seven targets) in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Jaguars.

Brown remains quarterback Jalen Hurts' favorite weapon early on, finishing with the team lead in targets for third time in four contests. The 25-year-old continues to thrive with his new club while playing alongside fellow star wideout DeVonta Smith. Brown is averaging a whipping 101.0 yards per game heading into a favorable matchup against Arizona's pass defense next Sunday.

Metcalf secured seven of 10 targets for 149 yards in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Metcalf produced team-high figures in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with a 54-yard grab the highlight of his performance. The trademark effort made up for a slow start to the season for Metcalf, who'd topped out at seven receptions and 64 yards in terms of his individual game highs over the first three weeks of the campaign. With his first 100-yard effort of 2022 now under his belt, Metcalf will look to put together a successful encore in a Week 5 road battle versus the Saints.

Gallup caught two passes for 24 yards and one touchdown on three targets against Washington on Sunday.

Gallup's target count was a bit disappointing, but he didn't seem especially limited as he made his 2022 debut following his 2021 season-ending ACL tear. A more likely reason for Gallup's limited usage would simply be the fact that quarterback Cooper Rush, though he played well overall Sunday, doesn't have the arm to make the most of Gallup's downfield skill set. If Dak Prescott (thumb) can return to full strength soon, that would probably help Gallup generate a bit more momentum.
