Washington caught all five of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings.

The third-year wideout led the Dolphins in catches, yards and targets, but he didn't have much competition as Malik Willis attempted only 17 passes in total. Washington is still looking for his first TD of 2026, but he's become Willis' top downfield option, posting a 17-219-0 line on 28 targets through four games. Washington will try to build on this effort in a Week 5 home clash with the Bengals.

Willis completed nine of 17 passes for 85 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings. He added 11 yards on two carries and lost a fumble.

It was a miserable day for the Miami passing game against Brian Flores' defense, as Willis wasn't able to find receivers downfield -- his longest completion went for just 17 yards to Malik Washington -- or escape the pocket to do damage with his legs. Willis has produced just two TDs (one through the air, one on the ground) through four starts against four turnovers (two INTs and two lost fumbles) while completing just 56.3 percent of his passes, but there's been no suggestion the 0-4 Dolphins will make a switch at QB ahead of a Week 5 home tilt against the Bengals.

Mayer caught eight of 10 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Mayer led the Raiders in catches while finishing four receiving yards and one target shy of Brock Bowers' team-high totals. Kirk Cousins has relied heavily on his tight ends in the passing game, and even third-stringer Ian Thomas got in on the fun with a 27-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. Bowers will continue to lead the position group in Week 5 against the Patriots, but Mayer remains an integral part of Vegas' offense as well.

Kelce caught two of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

Kelce was surprisingly quiet in this battle between AFC West rivals that both entered the game with 3-0 records. This was the second consecutive game in which Kelce was held to two catches, but he was averaging 77 receiving yards per game prior to Sunday's 15-yard performance. He will celebrate his 37th birthday Monday and will have a chance to rest up during a Week 5 bye before the Chiefs return to action in Week 6 against the Chargers.

Worthy caught four of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

Worthy finished second on the team in targets and receiving yards behind Tyquan Thornton, who caught five of eight targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns prior to suffering an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Rashee Rice (hamstring) exited the game in the first quarter, so Worthy is the top healthy wide receiver for Kansas City, though Rice will have a chance to heal during the Week 5 bye before the Chargers come to town in Week 6.

Cousins completed 31 of 52 passes for 365 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He also threw a successful two-point conversion.

Cousins opened the scoring with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Ian Thomas in the first quarter, but his next touchdown pass didn't come until 1:46 remained in the fourth quarter, when Cousins connected with Brock Bowers for a 20-yard touchdown and added a two-point conversion to Cody White to cut the Raiders' deficit to three points. Vegas got the ball back, but Cousins was picked off on the game's penultimate play as the Raiders' comeback bid came up short. Despite Sunday's setback, Cousins has led the Raiders to a 3-1 record while posting an 11:4 TD:INT heading into a Week 5 road game against the Patriots.

Hampton had nine carries for 45 yards and one touchdown and two catches (on two targets) for eight yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss at Seattle.

Hampton failed to reach 10 rushes in a game for the first time in four opportunities this season, and he ceded a number of backfield reps to position mates Keaton Mitchell (15 touches for 63 yards) and Kimani Vidal (seven touches, 36 yards and one TD). It's unclear if the Chargers intend to keep up more of a timeshare between the trio moving forward, but Hampton's lack of targets (five) so far in 2026 inhibit his overall value if he isn't taking on a majority of the rushing workload. His next chance to take the field arrives next Sunday versus the Broncos.

Golston suffered a neck injury in Sunday's win over the Cardinals and did not return, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his injury, Golston recorded two tackles (one solo). He mans a starting interior defensive lineman spot alongside D.J. Reader for the Giants. Darius Alexander and CJ Okoye would be next up for snaps if Golston needs to miss time.

Pinnock suffered a concussion during Sunday's 36-24 win over the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Pinnock finished his day without having recorded any stats. He will now have to clear concussion protocol in order to be available for Week 5 against Washington.

Waddle secured five of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Waddle recorded his first touchdown as a member of the Broncos at a critical juncture, as his 13-yard scoring grab with just over four minutes remaining helped Denver get to within three points at the time. Waddle also finished second in receptions and tied for runner-up status in targets as well, and he's now seen a total of 23 passes from Bo Nix come his way in the last three contests. The Broncos' air attack and Waddle's chemistry with Nix remains a work in progress, but the veteran receiver takes a solid 16-185-1 line on 26 targets into a Week 5 divisional road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.
