Rice (hamstring) is doubtful to return to Sunday's contest in Las Vegas.

Considering the downgrade from questionable to doubtful, Rice appears poised to finish Week 4 without a target in about half of a quarter of play. Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen will be the primary wide receivers available to QB Patrick Mahomes for as long as Rice is sidelined.

Collins caught seven of eight targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys.

Making his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Collins led the Texans in catches, targets and scrimmage yards while hauling in C.J. Stroud's only two TD passes of the day. While Houston is a disastrous 0-4 to start the season, the offense has scored 61 points in the two games Collins has been active for, and just 23 in the two games he missed. The star wideout will look to come up big again in Week 5 on the road in Tennessee.

Odunze caught six of seven targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets.

Odunze led the Bears in receiving yards while finishing two targets shy of Colston Loveland's team-high total as Tyson Bagent threw for 268 yards. This was the first time Odunze exceeded 52 receiving yards in a game this season, as he showed nice chemistry with the third QB to start a game for the Bears this season. Odunze's outlook is unlikely to change significantly whether the Bears get Caleb Williams (hamstring) back or stick with Bagent for Week 5 at Green Bay.

Watson secured all three targets for 47 yards in the Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Watson led the Packers in receiving yards on an afternoon when Jordan Love threw for only 197 yards. The speedy wideout's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season lows, but Watson has still enjoyed a productive start to the campaign with a 20-331-4 line on 32 targets and good health throughout. Watson and the Packers' air attack as a whole will look for a boost in production at the expense of the division-rival Bears in a Week 5 home matchup next Sunday.

Wilson caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.

Wilson accounted for two of Geno Smith's three completions in the first half, and the star wide receiver finished with a team-high three catches as Smith completed only eight passes in a forgettable performance from New York's offense. Heading into Sunday's loss, Wilson had been averaging seven catches for 81 receiving yards per game. Wilson and the Jets will try to bounce back from this dud in Week 5 against the Browns.

Pickens caught two of three targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Texans.

CeeDee Lamb was the target on a massive 21 of Dak Prescott's 45 pass attempts, which didn't leave much volume for any other Cowboy. Pickens made an impact when he got a chance however, hauling in receptions of 53 and 22 yards. Pickens is still looking for his first TD of 2026 after scoring a career-high nine last season, and he'll take an 18-225-0 line on 28 targets through four games into a Week 5 meeting at home against the Buccaneers.

Lamb caught 17 of 21 targets for 189 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Texans.

Per RJ Ochoa of Blogging The Boys, it was just the fourth time in NFL history, and the first since Brandon Marshall in 2009, that a player recorded 17-plus receptions, 180-plus yards and a TD in a single game. Lamb's final catch was his biggest, as he connected with Dak Prescott for a 12-yard score with just 40 seconds left on the clock to complete a comeback from a 10-point halftime deficit. The 17 catches and 21 targets were career highs for the five-time Pro Bowler, and the yardage total was his best since Week 17 of 2023, when Lamb erupted for 227 yards against the Lions. Lamb will take a massive 37-498-4 line on 46 targets through four games, and a three-game streak of 100-plus receiving yards, into a Week 5 home tilt against the Buccaneers.

Adams caught four of nine targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Eagles.

Adams took a back seat to Puka Nacua (hip), who caught nine of 12 targets for 125 yards and scored a two-yard rushing touchdown in the latter's return from a two-game absence. In two games alongside Nacua, Adams has just 58 receiving yards, compared to 332 yards and two touchdowns across the two games Nacua missed. With Nacua available, Adams is likely to play second fiddle again in Week 5 against the Bills.

Rice officially sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Las Vegas.

Rice grabbed at his hamstring at the end of a seven-yard catch that was negated due to a penalty on the Raiders defense, limping to the sideline before the Chiefs ruled him questionable to return. For as long as Rice is off the field, Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen figure to pick up the slack in the WR corps.

Rice suffered an apparent hamstring injury during Sunday's game in Las Vegas, James Palmer of Bleacher Report reports.

Rice exhibited a limp while clutching at his hamstring while going to the sideline in the first quarter. The precise nature of the issue isn't known, but he wasn't targeted before his exit.
