Jones caught three of five passes for 77 yards during Sunday's 34-30 loss to Kansas City.

Jones got involved early, cutting up the middle of the defense for a 33-yard gain midway through the first quarter. Jones started the season off somewhat quiet, but has 178 yards and a touchdown over his past two games. He and Kenny Golladay are fairly even in usage through the first quarter of the season, though Jones fans would surely like a more even split in touchdowns, currently four to one in favor of Golladay.

Snead caught both of his targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-25 loss to the Browns.

Garbage time scores count just the same as all others, and anybody who plugged in Snead was rewarded with a 50-yard touchdown in the final minute after he had posted a dud up until that point. Snead has only eight catches through four games, but he's managed to top 40 yards three times. He also has two touchdowns on the season heading into the Ravens' Week 5 trip to Pittsburgh.

Davis caught five of his six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against Atlanta.

Davis finally got on track, surpassing three receptions and 50 receiving yards for the first time this season. The performance was highlighted by a 23-yard touchdown late in the second quarter to put the Titans up 24-7. Despite the encouraging performance, Davis figures to be inconsistent throughout the season given the team's continued low pass volume combined with the potential emergence of rookie wideout A.J. Brown. Davis will draw a tough matchup against Buffalo in Week 5.

Brown caught four of seven targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 40-25 loss to the Browns.

While Lamar Jackson's passing numbers looked respectable (247 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions), they were aided by a meaningless 50-yard touchdown to Willie Snead in the final minute, as Baltimore's passing game actually struggled mightily throughout most of this one. Brown's game is predicated on big plays, and he failed to get free for any in this one. The rookie wide receiver's yardage total has dropped in every game, from 147 to 86 to 49 to 22. Brown has hauled in just six of 16 targets over the past two weeks, so he'll be a low-floor, high-ceiling flier against the Steelers in Week 5.

Beasley caught seven of 12 targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

Beasley edged out John Brown by one target, two catches and six yards for the team lead in each category. Starting quarterback Josh Allen got knocked out of the game in the fourth quarter with a concussion, but backup Matt Barkley proved capable of moving the offense effectively with 127 passing yards after coming in. While Buffalo's red-zone efficiency will likely suffer without the threat of Allen running the ball, the team's receivers could actually benefit from having a more accurate quarterback under center should Allen need to sit out against the Titans in Week 5 or beyond, though having Allen back clearly gives the offense more long-term upside.

Ridley caught three of six targets for 32 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Titans.

The 24-year-old Ridley jumped out to an electrifying start to his sophomore campaign with 12 catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns through Atlanta's first two games of the season, However, he's been targeted just seven times since, with three catches for 17 yards against Indianapolis and Tennessee the past two games outside of the 21-yard reception he recorded Sunday. Week 5 doesn't present the most encouraging matchup for Ridley to get back on track, as the Texans have allowed just one wideout -- Keenan Allen -- to exceed 75 receiving yards against them over the past three weeks.

Shepard caught seven of nine targets for 76 yards and carried once for an additional 23 yards during Sunday's 24-3 win over the Redskins.

Shepard led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards as he built on last week's breakout performance. He's meshed well with rookie quarterback Daniel Jones over the last two contests, catching 14 of 18 targets for 176 yards and a touchdown, in addition to 44 rushing yards. Shepard will face a tough home matchup next Sunday against the Vikings, but his prominent role in the passing game should still afford him some fantasy utility.

Brown hauled in all three of his targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4 against Atlanta.

Brown finished third on the team in targets and receptions, but he led the Titans in receiving yards. The highlight was a 55-yard touchdown that came in the first quarter, when he caught a slant over the middle before racing down the sideline for the long score. Still in the opening frame, Brown hauled in his second touchdown reception on a back-shoulder fade from 11 yards away. Overall, he has just 17 targets and 10 receptions through four games, but he has quickly proven to be a big-play threat by averaging 22.3 yards per reception. Despite an inconsistent passing attack, Brown shows continuously growing rapport with Marcus Mariota, and that should only increase as the season progresses.

Allen caught five of his six targets for 48 yards in the 30-10 win Sunday over the Dolphins.

Allen had a relatively mundane final line but was once again frequently utilized in the red zone, falling just short of cashing in a touchdown on two separate occasions. While the 27-year-old receiver has an impressive 452 receiving yards and three touchdowns through four weeks, Allen could be in for a tougher test Week 5 against the Broncos. In eight career games against Denver, Allen is averaging just five receptions and a paltry 49 receiving yards per contest.

Hopkins caught five of eight targets for 41 yards and threw an interception on his lone pass attempt during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Panthers.

Hopkins averaged a mere 8.2 yards per catch as he recorded a long gain of just 14 yards. He also attempted an ill-advised pass which resulted in an interception on a trick play in the red zone during the second quarter. After an electric season opener, Hopkins has struggled to the tune of 49.3 receiving yards per game with no touchdowns over the last three. He'll look to get back on track in a favorable home matchup with the Falcons next Sunday.
