McConkey recorded five receptions on seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.

McConkey was one of the few bright spots in Sunday's loss, as he combined both volume and big-play ability in a game for the first time as a pro. He was impressive on the Chargers' opening drive, racking up three catches for 27 yards -- highlighted by a seven-yard touchdown reception. McConkey added a 37-yard catch and run early in the third quarter to cap off the most productive day of his young career. While Los Angeles won't be a pass-heavy offense, McConkey is emerging as Justin Herbert's favorite target.

Polk turned seven targets into three receptions for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers.

Polk didn't produce a strong fantasy line by any means, but he led the team in targets while nearly doubling the output from his first three games in Sunday's loss. The rookie wideout has eight receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown through four games. Polk should continue to get looks and develop on a dismal New England offense this season, continuing with Sunday's tilt against Miami in Week 5.

Aiyuk had two receptions on five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots.

Aiyuk's early slog through the fantasy schedule continued for a fourth week despite the 49ers picking up a comfortable win over New England. The star receiver has seen his numbers slide down across the board since earning a deserved payday just before the start of the regular season. Aiyuk has yet to top 50 yards or find the end zone in any of his four starts this season, while No. 3 option Jauan Jennings led the team in receiving for the second week running. The 26-year-old Aiyuk has bigger fantasy performances ahead of him, with fantasy managers hoping that breakout moment comes in Sunday's home matchup against the Cardinals.

Cooper had four receptions (eight targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.

Cooper took a back seat to Jerry Jeudy (6-72-0) on Sunday after going off for two scores in last week's loss to the Giants, although he did have an 82-yard touchdown catch and run early in the fourth quarter wiped out by a questionable holding penalty. The veteran starter has struggled in three starts outside of Week 3's monster output, but he remains a steady play in fantasy given his track record. Cooper will look to break out of his early-season slump when the Browns face the Commanders on Sunday.

Tucker caught five of six targets for 41 yards and added a three-yard rushing touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Tucker tied Jakobi Meyers for the team lead in catches, and while he was eight yards and four targets shy of Meyers' totals as a receiver, Tucker more than made up for that with a three-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Tucker had 96 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 loss to the Panthers, but most of that production came with the game out of hand, so it was encouraging to see him remain heavily involved from the get-go in Sunday's competitive win. Tucker should continue to play a larger role in Week 5 against the Broncos if Davante Adams (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Meyers caught five of 10 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Meyers paced the Raiders in targets and receiving yards in the absence of Davante Adams (hamstring). Adams is considered week-to-week, so Meyers could remain the team's de facto No. 1 wide receiver in Week 5 against the Broncos. Meyers has 19 targets over the last two games after being targeted only eight times in the first two games of the season.

Whittington brought in six of eight targets for 62 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Whittington was the Rams' leader in receptions and targets while checking in second in receiving yards to Tutu Atwell. The rookie sixth-round pick now has upped his catches, receiving yards and targets in three successive weeks, benefitting from the absences of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee). With Kupp uncertain to return for a Week 5 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday, Whittington could continue enjoying an expanded role.

Jeudy turned nine targets into six receptions for 72 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.

Jeudy took a backseat to fellow starter Amari Cooper last week, but the former bounced back to lead the Browns in targets, receptions and yardage against the Raiders. Cleveland's passing game has been underwhelming in 2024 with Deshaun Watson under center, limiting Jeudy to 18 receptions (30 targets) for 197 yards and one touchdown through four games. Those numbers are good enough for those in deeper and PPR formats, but Jeudy lacks the upside to warrant "must-start" status in standard fantasy leagues heading into a Week 5 matchup against Washington.

Atwell brought in four of six targets for 82 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Atwell finished second in receptions while leading the way in receiving yards for the Rams, an encouraging encore to his 4-93-0 line on five targets against the 49ers in Week 3. The ongoing absences of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee) are fueling Atwell's increase in opportunity, and there's a chance Kupp isn't yet back in action for next Sunday's home matchup against the Packers.

Nailor secured one of two targets for 31 yards and netted no gain on one punt return in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Nailor shifted to the No. 3 receiver role due to Jordan Addison returning from a two-game absence due to an ankle issue, but the former still made an impact on his one catch. The 2022 sixth-round pick saw his season-opening touchdown streak snapped at three games, but given his speed, Nailor should continue seeing a small share of complementary targets from Sam Darnold overseas in a London battle against the Jets in Week 5.
