Hill's (knee) agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that he plans to begin negotiating with multiple teams Monday and hopes to have a deal in place for the veteran receiver "over the next few days," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter notes that the Chiefs -- who lost receivers Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Tyquan Thornton (ankle) to injuries in Sunday's win over the Raiders -- are among the teams who have maintained contact with Hill. With Thornton potentially facing a long-term absence, Hill could represent a natural replacement as a vertical threat for the Chiefs, provided he's back to full speed coming off the ACL tear and dislocated knee that he addressed with a pair of surgeries last September. Even if the 32-year-old signs with the Chiefs or another team in the coming days, he may need multiple weeks to regain conditioning before he's deemed ready to make his 2026 debut.

Tyson (hamstring) is said to be making progress and feeling good but isn't expected to be activated from injured reserve until Week 7 at the soonest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

New Orleans placed Tyson on IR with a designation to return back on Aug. 30, making him eligible to resume practicing and playing with the team as soon as Week 5. Saints head coach Kellen Moore previously disclosed Thursday that Tyson wasn't on track to resume practicing during the upcoming week, and Schefter's report further fuels the notion that the team will take a deliberate approach with the rookie first-round draft pick, who is on the mend from a right hamstring strain and had a history of soft-tissue injuries during his time in college. Though a Week 7 return is on the table, the Saints will go on bye Week 8, which could make a Week 9 home matchup with the Browns a more likely target for Tyson's NFL debut.

Robinson caught three of five targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 24-18 loss to the Ravens.

Robinson was able to find paydirt for the second straight week, connecting with quarterback Cam Ward for a three-yard touchdown with 1:16 left in regulation. The wide receiver finished second on team behind rookie first-rounder Carnell Tate (12), and Robinson has now caught 16 of 23 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns over the first four contests of the 2026 campaign.

Williams secured six of eight targets for 102 yards in the Lions' 32-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday night.

Williams led the Lions in receiving yards on the night, and all three components of the fourth-year speedster's receiving line were also season-high figures. The productive performance was an especially welcome sight for fantasy managers who were banking on a true breakout season for Williams after back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns, and the 2022 first-round pick should have a good opportunity to carry over the momentum into a favorable Week 5 road matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

Meyers caught three of four targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 22-17 win against the Bengals.

Meyers finished second on the team in targets behind tight end Brenton Strange (8), but his performance was far from noteworthy. The wide receiver has operated as a distant No. 2 option behind Parker Washington at his position this season, and Sunday's performance was his third game with 40 or fewer receiving yards over four contests this season.

Johnston caught one of two targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks. He added one carry for minus-4 yards.

Despite Ladd McConkey (foot) playing just 24 of 71 offensive snaps, including zero in the second half, Johnston was a ghost most of the afternoon before hauling in a deep ball in the fourth quarter. Johnston continues to pace the team in snaps and routes at wide receiver, but he has little to show for it this season, posting just seven catches for 108 yards and no touchdowns on 19 targets. Johnston won't be a recommended fantasy play next Sunday against the Broncos, even if Patrick Surtain (ankle) and Riley Moss (ribs) are still banged up.

McMillan caught 14 of 16 targets for 192 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Lions.

McMillan got open at will against Detroit's struggling secondary, setting career highs in catches, receiving yards and targets while posting his third multi-touchdown performance through 21 regular-season games. The 2025 first-round pick caught a 32-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and a 10-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. McMillan entered play Sunday with 23 targets through three games compared to 22 targets for fellow starting wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps), who was inactive against the Lions. Coker will have an extra week to heal up during Carolina's Week 5 bye before possibly rejoining McMillan in Week 6 against the Eagles.

St. Brown secured eight of 11 targets for 75 yards in the Lions' 32-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday night.

St. Brown was essentially as busy as usual in the air attack, although he was in the relatively rare position of finishing second in targets, and to tight end Sam LaPorta at that. Nevertheless, the star wideout tied with LaPorta for the team lead in receptions, and St. Brown's yardage tally was his second-highest figure through the first four games. Despite the disappointing team-level outcome, St. Brown's fantasy outlook is as bright as customary headed into a favorable Week 5 road matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

Sutton caught just one of six targets for four yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the 49ers.

Sutton has been wholly unproductive to begin the season, producing just nine catches for 86 scoreless yards on 21 targets through four games. His 0.69 yards per route run is easily a low point for his career. Turning 31 years old this week, it's fair to wonder how much Sutton has left in the tank and if his best days are now behind him. He's not a usable fantasy player right now, playing in a low-scoring offense that likes to spread the ball around to multiple different players.

Noel caught all three targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys. He added four rushing yards on one attempt.

Despite Nico Collins (hamstring) returning to the lineup after missing two games, Noel remained a big part of the offense, as Xavier Hutchinson was the big loser in terms of snaps and routes. Noel ran just one fewer route than Kayshon Boutte and six fewer than Collins. Through four games, Noel has nine catches for 186 yards on 12 targets. He has a chance to become the Texans' WR2 behind Collins at some point this season, especially if Boutte doesn't start producing.
