Brown had seven receptions on 10 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers.

Brown overcame the thumb injury that threatened his availability during the practice week leading up to Sunday's tilt. The 2019 first-round pick was unable to extend his touchdown streak to three games, but he still provided value with new season highs in yards and receptions. Brown has transitioned well to becoming Arizona's No. 1 receiver following the offseason trade of DeAndre Hopkins. Hollywood is now averaging 5.3 receptions and 59.8 yards to go with two touchdowns through four games this season. Look for the speedster to continue building a rapport with fill-in starter Joshua Dobbs against the Bengals next Sunday while Kyler Murray (knee) remains sidelined.

Meyers recorded two receptions on four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers.

Meyers had proven to be a key target for Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) in two games this season, commanding 10 and 12 targets. However, he lost out significantly with Aidan O'Connell under center, as Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs were the only two pass catchers to be targeted more than four times. The good news for Meyers is that Garoppolo is likely to return in time for a Week 5 matchup against the Packers.

St. Brown caught his lone target for 21 yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

With Chase Claypool a healthy scratch, St. Brown took the field for the first time this season. He was targeted 17 times in 13 games last season in 2022, and should continue to play over Claypool and see light target volume.

Jones rushed once for 10 yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Jones' biggest contribution to the Bears is on special teams. He's yet to see a pass target this season, but he now has two rushing attempts. His current role is unlikely to result in significant fantasy production.

Scott handled two rushes for 19 yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Despite Justin Fields attempting 35 passes, Scott didn't see a target as a receiver, but he did see work as a runner. With 39 scrimmage yards on the season, Scott will need to see an increase in usage before he can be considered a reliable fantasy option.

Mooney caught all four of his targets for 51 yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

With Chase Claypool a healthy scratch. Mooney served as the clear No. 2 wide receiver behind DJ Moore. However, Mooney's role led to him seeing just four of Justin Fields' 35 pass attempts. On the season, Mooney has posted at least 51 yards in two of four games, but his upside may be limited if the Bears' offense can't maintain the production it showed against Denver.

Aiyuk (shoulder) corralled all six of his targets for 148 yards in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Cardinals.

Aiyuk was able to return in full capacity after sitting out the 49ers' last game with a minor shoulder injury. The budding fantasy star continued his hot start by breaking the century mark in receiving yards for the second time in three attempts after achieving that feat just once in 2022. Aiyuk has amassed 320 receiving yards on just 20 targets, and Sunday, he put his unique combination of athletic playmaking and sure hands on display against an outmatched Arizona secondary. Now back at full strength, Aiyuk will shift his focus to a Week 4 matchup against a Cowboys team that is without top corner Trevon Diggs (knee) the rest of the season.

Lamb recorded four receptions on six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Patriots.

Lamb was overshadowed by Jake Ferguson and Michael Gallup in the offense. While that may have been the byproduct of Dallas having a significant advantage on the scoreboard, Lamb has now seen seven or fewer targets in three of four games on the season. Despite the limited volume, he still managed to salvage his fantasy performance with a 20-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter -- his first trip to the end zone this season. He'll turn his attention to another tough defensive matchup in Week 5, as the Cowboys are set to square off against the 49ers.

Johnston caught one of his three targets for 18 yards in the 24-17 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Johnston looked like a candidate to see a significant uptick in opportunities after Mike Williams (knee) suffered a season-ending injury Week 3, but the rookie first-round pick remained only a minor contributor in the passing game Sunday. The fact that the Chargers attempted just 24 passes likely played a factor in Johnston's limited output, but the pecking order clearly favors Keenan Allen (five targets) and Joshua Palmer (eight targets) by a wide margin. Additionally, running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) should be ready to return following the Chargers' Week 5 bye, pushing Johnston further down the hierarchy for targets.

Palmer caught three of his eight targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.

Palmer snared a 51-yard dart by quarterback Justin Herbert on the final throw of the game, salvaging what would have been a disappointing outing for fantasy managers, especially in the absence of Mike Williams (knee). With the Chargers on a bye next week, it's entirely possible the coaching staff will work to better implement 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston into the offensive scheme, but it's hard to imagine that will directly come at the expense of Palmer, who has 20 targets over the last three contests.
