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.

Robinson caught seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Aside from a leaping 27-yard catch in the first half, Robinson was very quiet until the last drive of the game, when Nick Foles kept firing the ball to his star receiver, not only padding his yardage total but getting him his only score of the afternoon. With at least 100 yards and a touchdown in each of his last two games, Robinson is producing as the top-12 receiver that fantasy managers have come to expect, and he should continue to have one of the safest weekly floors based on his excellent target volume.

Jefferson caught four of his five targets for 103 receiving yards during Sunday's 31-23 win against the Texans.

After a quiet Weeks 1 and 2 in which he produced five combined receptions for 70 yards, Jefferson has exploded the past two weeks to the tune of 11 total receptions for 278 yards and a touchdown. Jefferson was dominant on contested catches during his final year at LSU (nation-leading 92.3 percent contested catch rate, according to Pro Football Focus), and so far this year he has remained very reliable in tighter NFL windows, corralling 16 of 20 balls thrown his way. Next up is a Sunday night showdown against a Seattle defense that has surrendered an astronomical 401.8 passing yards per game.

Lamb caught five of seven targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns while adding one three-yard carry during Sunday's 49-38 loss to the Browns.

Lamb was wide open for a 43-yard touchdown in the first quarter and capped off his team's scoring for the day with a five-yard strike in the fourth. He had yet to reach the end zone through his first three NFL games, so his ability to get behind the defense and his usage in the red zone Sunday were positive developments for his future fantasy value. Moreover, Lamb finished second on the team in receiving yards and is now on pace for over 1,200 yards in his rookie year, making him a viable fantsy option for next Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

Butler (healthy scratch) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

The Eagles promoted Butler from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest, but he'll need more time to pick up the offense before being trusted in game-time action. Butler is being asked to learn the tight end position in Philadelphia, so the team may consider him more of a developmental project than a player expected to contribute in the near future.

Kirk hauled in three passes on five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against the Panthers.

Kirk returned to the field after missing the team's Week 3 contest against Detroit. He managed to find the end zone for a three-yard score late in the third quarter. However, he was outgained by the likes of Dan Arnold and Chase Edmonds, though his performance was salvaged by the score. In three healthy games, Kirk has not surpassed five targets.

Brown tallied four receptions on eight targets for 86 yards in the team's Week 4 win over Washington.

Brown delivered a pair of receptions over 30 yards in the first half to account for the majority of his production in the game. He set up the Ravens' first score of the contest with a 33-yard catch, beating Washington's secondary down the field before being tackled at the one. Due to Baltimore's run-heavy approach on offense, Brown has failed to rack up large volume through four games. However, he's made the most of the chance he's received, as five of his 12 receptions have gone for 20 yards or more. He'll have another positive matchup as the Ravens line up against Cincinnati in Week 5.

Arcega-Whiteside (calf) is listed as inactive Sunday at San Francisco.

Arcega-Whiteside joins Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) on the Eagles' list of inactives for Week 4, which leaves Greg Ward, John Hightower, Deontay Burnett and Travis Fulgham as the healthy wide receivers available to Carson Wentz. Looking ahead, Arcega-Whiteside will attempt to get past his calf injury for next Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Anderson hauled in eight of 11 targets for 99 receiving yards during Sunday's 31-21 win against the Cardinals.

Anderson continues to produce like a Pro Bowl receiver for his former college coach Matt Rhule, as the Temple product has already accumulated 28 receptions for 377 yards and a touchdown through the first quarter of Carolina's regular-season slate. The argument can be made that he is the top WR option (if not co-WR1) for the new-look Panthers, as Anderson has out-targeted D.J. Moore 34-32 through four weeks. It's all systems go for Anderson heading into Week 5, when he'll face a Falcons defense that is currently dealing with injuries to Keanu Neal (hamstring), Ricardo Allen (elbow) and Darqueze Dennard (hamstring).

Agnew had one carry for two yards and caught one of two targets for one yard during Sunday's loss to the Saints.

The Lions tried to get creative with Agnew but nothing became of it. While the versatile gadget player should continue to get a few opportunities per game, Agnew will probably remain an unreliable bet for production on a weekly basis.
