Dortch recorded four catches (on five targets) for 35 yards, one carry for four yards, three kick returns for 82 yards and one punt return for 15 yards during Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Seahawks.

After earning no more than a 24 percent snap share in any of the Cardinals' first three games of the season, Dortch jumped all the way up to 64 percent Week 4 with Zay Jones (concussion) inactive. Dortch continued to handle most of the return duties, but he also surpassed his total number of targets from the first three games (four) in just one contest. For as long as Jones is sidelined, Dortch appears as if he'll be the team's No. 3 WR behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson.

Wilson hauled in three of six targets for 15 yards during Thursday's 23-20 defeat to the Seahawks.

Wilson earned a season-high 97 percent snap share Week 4, but he again didn't get much going within the confines of the Cardinals offense. His target count did mark a season best, but he now boasts a measly 6-36-1 line on 14 targets through four games. Until QB Kyler Murray begins to look his way more often, Wilson appears to be on the outside looking in when it comes to fantasy relevance.

Watkins (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.

Watkins was unable to practice at all during the week, and he will now be forced to miss a second game in a row due to a calf injury. The wide receiver has yet to make his NFL debut, so his absence should not have an impact in Week 4.

Brown (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after practicing in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday.

Brown was forced out of the Jaguars' 17-10 win over the Texans in Week 3 after logging 23 snaps and two catches for seven yards on three targets. Overall, he's compiled a 10-116-1 line on 14 targets in three contests, a pace that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats while working in a WR corps that also includes Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter and Parker Washington.

Pearsall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury but was able to do so in a limited capacity one day later. Before that first session, he told Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area that he'd play if there was a game that day, but the 49ers seemingly are less optimistic about the second-year wide receiver's status for Week 4. In the end, Pearsall's availability will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jennings (shoulder/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings was listed as a non-participant on five straight injury reports due to shoulder and ankle injuries before getting back on the field Friday, giving him a chance to return to action this weekend. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's able to suit up, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (left shoulder/toe), who has been cleared for his first game action since Week 1.

Reynolds (hamstring) practiced fully Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Reynolds thus is on pace to return from a two-game absence when the Jets face the Dolphins on Monday. The veteran pass catcher logged a 97 percent snap share and two catches (on three targets) for 18 yards Week 1, but in his looming return he'll need to compete with Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard for WR targets that don't go to clear-cut top option Garrett Wilson.

Waddle (shoulder) practiced fully Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Waddle has been dealing with a shoulder issue since Week 2 prep, but he's suited up the last two games and logged more than 80 percent of the offensive snaps both times en route to a combined 10-107-2 line on 12 targets during that span. After opening this week with a limited practice Thursday, he handled every rep one day later and thus is on pace for his typical workload Monday against the Jets.

Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Reports suggest Lamb will miss multiple games and possibly even be placed on injured reserve, but the Cowboys waited until Friday to rule him out for Week 4. His absence leaves more playing time for WRs Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy, with WR George Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson also getting boosts in target-share projection.

Gould (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Gould has battled an illness the last couple of days and missed practice Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. If the wide receiver can't go in Week 4, Ashton Dulin and Josh Downs would be top candidates to see an increase in workload on special teams.
