  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Flashes athleticism on TD run

    Aiyuk had two receptions (five targets) for 18 yards, but did most of his damage on a 38-yard touchdown run in a loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Aiyuk remained in the starting lineup as Deebo Samuel (foot) was eased back into action. The dynamic rookie put his after-the-catch skills on display when he took a backwards pass behind the line of scrimmage and bounced off of two tackles before hurdling a diving defender and landing in the end zone. It was a highlight-reel play that flashed the potential Aiyuk has to rip off a big play at any moment. It is unclear if the Arizona State product will remain a starter against the Dolphins on Sunday now that the receiver he was replacing (Samuel) is back in the fold. Either way, Aiyuk proved that he doesn't need a ton of touches -- or receptions for that matter -- to make an impact on the scoreboard.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Finds end zone in victory

    Beasley caught three of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Raiders.

    Beasley finished fourth on the team in targets but did quite well with the looks he received, converting an 11-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter. The veteran reached the end zone for the first time this season Sunday, and while his yardage total was his lowest of the season, he is still on pace to top 1,000 yards for the campaign. He left briefly in the first half because of a foot injury but was able to return to the contest. If he is at full strength, Beasley should continue to serve as one of Josh Allen's security options in next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Titans.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Totals 115 yards

    Diggs caught six of seven targets for 115 yards during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Raiders.

    Diggs led the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards while averaging a healthy 19.2 yards per reception. He came through with a season-high gain of 49 yards and continues to build an excellent rapport with ascending quarterback Josh Allen. Diggs is now on pace for over 1,600 yards through four games and will look to continue his excellent season in another favorable matchup next Sunday against the Titans.

  • Zach Pascal WR | NYG

    Colts' Zach Pascal: Leads team in receiving yards

    Pascal recorded three receptions on eight targets for 58 yards in Week 4 against the Bears.

    Pascal worked as the Colts' deep threat -- he averaged 19.3 yards per reception -- but also led the team with eight targets. He accounted for Indy's longest gain of the day on a 36-yard reception during their first drive of the contest, helping set up a touchdown to cap the possession. With Parris Campbell (knee) and Michael Pittman (leg) both out, Pascal should continue to see plenty of targets as the team's number two receiver behind T.Y. Hilton. Pascal will have an exploitable matchup in Week 5 against a leaky Browns secondary.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Raiders' Nelson Agholor: Finds end zone in loss

    Agholor caught all four of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.

    He made a good play to snatch the ball away from Bills safety Jordan Poyer in the end zone as the Raiders tried to mount a comeback inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. Agholor set season highs in catches, targets and yards with rookies Henry Ruggs (hamstring) and Bryan Edwards (ankle) sidelined, potentially setting the former Eagle up for an expanded role again in Week 5's tilt against Kansas City.

  • Tyron Johnson WR | DAL

    Chargers' Tyron Johnson: Scores long TD in loss

    Johnson brought in his only target for a 53-yard touchdown reception in the Chargers' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Johnson opened the scoring with his long touchdown reception, one of two of over 50 yards for the Chargers on the afternoon. The OSU product was making his NFL debut in the contest with Mike Williams (hamstring) sidelined, and it remains to be seen if he'll head back to the practice squad ahead of a Week 5 Monday night road battle against the Saints .

  • Deonte Harty WR | BAL

    Saints' Deonte Harris: Catches one pass in victory

    Harris brought in one of two targets for 10 yards and rushed twice for 10 yards in the Saints' 35-29 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    It was another quiet day for Harris, who has failed to see much boost in value with Michael Thomas (ankle) out of action. In three games with Thomas on the sidelines, Harris has caught just six passes for 38 yards. Targets will be even more difficult to come by in Week 5 when Thomas is likely to return.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Leading Rams receiver in win

    Kupp caught five of seven targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants.

    Most of that production came on a 55-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter as Kupp split the Giants' secondary for the final score of the day, and Jared Goff's only completion of longer than 20 yards. Kupp has found the end zone in consecutive games, and he'll look to continue that streak in Week 5 against a Washington defense that just had trouble containing Marquise Brown.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: Career-high in targets and yards

    Mooney caught five passes for 52 yards in the Bears' 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    With Nick Foles getting his first start as the Chicago quarterback, it was clear that the coaching staff wanted to use Mooney as a downfield threat. He had an impressive 33-yard reception and was also targeted deep on two other occasions, but in each case the pass was uncatchable. Since the start of the season, Mooney has seen the most wide receiver snaps on the team after Allen Robinson, and there's a chance that his increased volume the past two weeks could lead to the rookie breaking out soon.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Leading receiver against Rams

    Slayton caught three of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Rams.

    Despite the modest numbers, Slayton was the Giants' leading receiver on the afternoon, and only tight end Evan Engram saw more targets from Daniel Jones. Slayton has produced nearly identical numbers the last three games after his huge performance in the opener, but he could be in line for a rebound in Week 5 against a Cowboys defense that just surrendered 49 points to the Browns.
