Washington secured one of three targets for seven yards, rushed once for three yards and returned one punt for three yards in the Jaguars' 22-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Washington had been Trevor Lawrence's top target by a comfortable margin over the first three games of the season, but the Bengals effectively shut down the bulk of Jacksonville's wide-receiver production Sunday. Washington saw the biggest downturn, making it a forgettable fantasy afternoon overall despite the team-level success the Jaguars enjoyed. Washington figures to have an uphill battle in terms of a potential Week 5 resurgence as well, considering the Jaguars will face off with a talented Eagles defense in a Week 5 matchup in London next Sunday.

Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

Nailor took a blow to the head late in the second quarter, and he was ultimately diagnosed with a concussion. The wide receiver will finish his day having recorded no stats. In his absence, Tre Tucker, Cody White and Dareke Young will operate as the Raiders' top options at wide receiver.

Thomas secured both targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 22-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Thomas was a minimal part of the air attack once again, but that description also applied to fellow wideouts Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington as the Bengals did an effective job taking away Trevor Lawrence's primary targets. However, the Thomas was able to break through with what turned out to be a key score, as he recorded a seven-yard scoring grab late in the first half in a game that was ultimately decided by five points. Thomas still has a modest nine receptions for 105 yards and Sunday's touchdown on 15 targets as the Jaguars head across the pond to face the Eagles in London in Week 5.

Burden caught four of six targets for 63 yards and added an 11-yard rush in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets.

Burden finished second on the team in receiving yards, trailing Rome Odunze by 31. Both of Chicago's touchdowns came on the ground, but Tyson Bagent looked capable under center and threw for 268 yards. If Caleb Williams (hamstring) doesn't return in Week 5 against the Packers, Burden will likely continue to catch passes from Bagent. Burden has topped 60 yards in three of four games to begin his sophomore season, but he has yet to exceed 63 receiving yards in a game after reaching the 100-yard mark twice during his rookie campaign.

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.
