Chark caught two of three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Chark's production dipped as rookie quarterback Bryce Young returned to the lineup. Although veteran Adam Thielen again led the Panthers with 76 receiving yards, it was No. 3 wideout Terrace Marshall who topped the team in catches (nine) and targets (10). While Young goes through his first-season growing pains, Chark could unfortunately be subject to low-output performances like Sunday's.

Pickens caught three of seven targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Texans.

He led the Steelers in targets but did little with them, as the team's passing game struggled even before Kenny Pickett (knee) was sidelined. Pickens has been Pittsburgh's top wideout with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) on IR, but if Mitch Trubisky is forced to start at quarterback in Week 5 against the Ravens, there may not be much production to go around through the air.

Moore secured eight of nine targets for 131 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Moore comfortably set the pace for the Bears in receiving yards while tying with Cole Kmet for the lead in targets as well. The veteran wideout's touchdown grab was a thing of beauty along the right sideline in the end zone in the first quarter from 29 yards, and all of his receptions, receiving yardage and target totals were his best of the season. Moore will certainly be a primary beneficiary if Justin Fields can continue to perform as he did for most of Sunday's four-touchdown effort, and the duo will look to remain hot in a Week 5 Thursday night matchup on the road against the Commanders.

Addison was not targeted in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Panthers.

Addison's goose egg came while quarterback Kirk Cousins managed just 139 passing yards and threw two interceptions, including one that was returned 99 yards for a touchdown. Besides star wideout Justin Jefferson, no Minnesota player caught more than two passes, so Addison wasn't alone in his Week 4 struggles. With a matchup against the high-powered Chiefs next Sunday, Addison could be featured more in order for the Vikings to keep pace.

Marshall caught nine of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Marshall once again saw his role expand with rookie wideout Jonathan Mingo (concussion) unavailable. In fact, that situation contributed toward Marshall setting career highs in both receptions and targets while leading the Panthers on the day in both categories. Although his average of merely 6.2 yards per grab was unimpressive, Marshall nonetheless helped his value with Sunday's showing.

Thielen caught seven of eight targets for 76 yards and rushed once for six yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Thielen led the Panthers in receiving yards despite falling to his former team. After a quiet Week 1, Thielen has now caught 25 passes on 31 targets since. The 33-year-old offers a dependable option for rookie quarterback Bryce Young, providing good value despite Young's inconsistencies.

Jefferson caught six of nine targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Panthers.

Jefferson led Minnesota in all major receiving categories, helping the team clinch its first victory of the season. The star wideout first went uncovered for a four-yard touchdown during the second quarter, then made an impressive jump-ball reception for a 30-yard score to end the third. Although his streak of three 145-plus-yard games was snapped, Jefferson continued his spectacular start to the campaign with Sunday's pair of end-zone trips.

Dotson (ankle) returned to Sunday's contest at Philadelphia, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Dotson left for a spell of Week 4 action spanning the end of the third and start of the fourth quarters, but he'll attempt to gut out the ankle injury that forced the brief time away from the field. He'll look to build upon his two catches (on six targets) for 12 yards.

Dotson departed Sunday's game in Philadelphia due to an ankle injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Dotson had just two catches (on six targets) for 12 yards at the time of his exit late in the third quarter. As long as Dotson is sidelined, Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown, Byron Pringle and Jamison Crowder are the healthy and available wide receivers behind the Commanders' top option Terry McLaurin.

Jennings (shin) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

A shin injury thus will sideline Jennings for Week 4 action, thereby giving Ronnie Bell, Ray-Ray McCloud and potentially Willie Snead expanded opportunities for wide receiver reps behind Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) and Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder). Jennings will set his sights on returning to practice once the 49ers reconvene for Week 5 prep on Wednesday.
