St. Brown caught six of eight targets for 70 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bears.

After totaling 10 targets over the first three weeks of the season, St. Brown nearly reached that number Sunday alone as he shared the team lead in targets with T.J. Hockenson. While Quintez Cephus was the No. 1 receiver and Kalif Raymond popped for two scores, there is certainly room in the slot for St. Brown to continue making a name for himself going forward, though the eventual return of Tyrell Williams (concussion) could throw a wrench into things.

Samuel (groin) caught all four of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-30 win over Atlanta.

Samuel didn't play a significant role in his first game for Washington after being activated off injured reserve. His four targets tied with Ricky Seals-Jones for third on the team behind Terry McLaurin (13) and J.D. McKissic (five). Samuel's versatility should earn him some touches on short passes, gadget plays and runs moving forward, but he's more of a supporting player rather than a go-to wideout of McLaurin's ilk.

Pascal brought in four of five targets for 44 yards in the Colts' 27-17 in over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Pascal gained 41 of his yards on one reception where he flashed some nice after-the-catch skills, so the remainder of his three grabs went for just three yards. The veteran possession receiver's yardage total qualified as a season-high figure, but Pascal will look to build up his overall numbers in a Week 5 Monday night road matchup against the Ravens.

Raymond caught three of six targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bears.

It was a big day for Raymond, who saw 10 targets last week and previously hadn't seen pay dirt since 2019. His first score came on a short pass near the goal line while his second came on a 25-yard bomb thanks to broken coverage on the Bears' part. While Quintez Cephus seems to be emerging as the top wide receiver in the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion), the 5-foot-6 Raymond is holding his own as the other starting option. However, it may be hard for him to see double-digit targets or multiple TDs again once Williams returns.

Pittman brought in six of eight targets for 59 yards in the Colts' 27-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

It was another busy afternoon for Pittman, who led the Colts in receptions, receiving yardage and targets one week after logging 12 looks against the Titans. The big-bodied wideout continued to serve as a fixture in the short and intermediate passing windows for quarterback Carson Wentz, a role that does cap his fantasy upside many weeks but helps lock in plenty of high-percentage targets. Pittman now has at least six receptions in three straight contests, and he'll look to record his first touchdown of the season in a Week 5 matchup on the road versus the Ravens on Monday night, Oct. 11.

Cephus caught four of five targets for 83 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.

After matching his previous career-high in receiving yards in Week 2, Cephus topped that mark Sunday while looking like Detroit's most competent wide receiver in the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion). He could have had a bigger day, but Jared Goff wasn't able to find him open on at least two occasions. With Williams on the shelf for at least one more game, Cephus' emergence could continue in Week 5 against the Vikings.

Parker secured four of nine targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

The veteran put the finishing touches on a solid fantasy day with a three-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. Parker led the Dolphins in receiving yardage with the help of a game-long 42-yard grab, and the late score was his first of the campaign. Parker has yet to exceed five receptions in any contest this season, but given Miami's shaky quarterback situation, he's actually served as a reliable week-to-week target thus far. Parker will look to build on the productive afternoon in a tough Week 5 road matchup against the Buccaneers.

Ridley caught seven of 13 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 34-30 loss to Washington.

The fourth-year receiver once again led the Falcons in targets and catches, but it was Cordarrelle Patterson who led the club in receiving yards. Ridley has seen double-digit targets in three straight games but his actual production has been a little disappointing, as Sunday's yardage was a season high and he has only one TD. Ridley will get a golden opportunity for a breakout in a Week 5 matchup against the Jets in London.

McLaurin caught six of 13 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons.

McLaurin hauled in fewer than half of the balls thrown his way but made the most out of his catches. He got Washington on the board with a 33-yard touchdown in the second quarter, then scored the first of two Washington touchdowns in the final four minutes of the fourth from 17 yards out. After watching his touchdown total plummet from seven as a rookie to four last season, the third-year wide receiver out of Ohio State has already scored three times through four games. McLaurin will have a tricky matchup against standout Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore in Week 5 but should continue to get plenty of attention from quarterback Taylor Heinicke.

Beckham brought in two of seven targets for 27 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Browns' 14-7 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Beckham's final line would have looked appreciably better had Baker Mayfield hit him on what would have been a likely walk-in 62-yard touchdown, but the duo failed to connect in what has been a fairly frequent trend during their time together. Mayfield had only 15 completions on the day, and Beckham did tie Rashard Higgins for the team lead in targets, so a bit more efficiency overall would have resulted in a serviceable fantasy performance, at minimum. Beckham will look to bounce back versus the tough Chargers secondary on the road Week 5.
