Pierce recorded four catches on six targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Titans.

Pierce posted his best game as a pro, primarily on the strength of a pair of big plays that went for 44 and 25 yards, respectively. Matt Ryan spread the ball around fairly evenly between several Colts pass catchers, which could bode well for Pierce's ongoing involvement in the offense. Pierce has also shown the ability to deliver big plays, as three of his first seven receptions as a pro have gone for more than 20 yards.

James recorded one catch on three targets for nine yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Bears.

James was expected to serve as the Giants' lead pass catcher with Wan'Dale Robinson (knee), Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Sterling Shepard (knee) all sidelined. The Giants attempted only 16 total passes, which limited all pass catchers. However, James had a particularly disappointing effort, especially considering he lost a fumble on his lone catch of the day.

Hollins caught three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over the Broncos.

After a career-best performance last week, Hollins crashed back to earth in this one, but with Derek Carr managing only 188 passing yards, there wasn't much production to go around for anyone not named Davante Adams. Hollins' role and target volume could be dependent on how quickly Hunter Renfrow (concussion) returns to action, but the entire Las Vegas passing game will probably need to make a much bigger impact in Week 5 against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City.

Adams caught nine of 13 targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over the Broncos.

He also added four yards on one carry. Adams continues to enjoy his reunion with Derek Carr, topping 100 receiving yards in two of four games as a Raider so far, and his volume was especially impressive in this one as Carr managed to throw for only 188 yards in total on the afternoon. Adams saw his TD streak end at three games to begin the season, but he'll look to start a new one in Week 5 in an AFC West clash with Kansas City.

Jeudy caught four of five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders.

After two quiet games while he dealt with a rib injury, Jeudy appeared to be fully healthy when he hauled in a 20-yard TD late in the second quarter, his second score of the season. The third-year wideout has yet to see more than seven targets in a game so far this year, but with Javonte Williams (knee) potentially set to miss time, Jeudy could see a much bigger role in Week 5 against the Colts.

Claypool failed to secure either of his two targets during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Claypool saw a steady increase in production over the first three weeks of the season, but he was held without a catch against the Jets. He drew a deep target early in the second half, but the pass was intercepted after being tipped. The Steelers' pass catchers face a tough test against Buffalo next week, but it's possible that rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett draws his first career start after Mitch Trubisky was benched for the second half of Sunday's loss.

Sutton caught five of seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders.

The wide receiver got the Broncos on the board in the first quarter with a five-yard TD grab, his first score of the season. Sutton's 52 yards were his lowest total in four games, however, and his seven targets tied for fewest as well. With Russell Wilson growing more comfortable in the offense and Javonte Williams (knee) potentially set to miss time, Sutton could have a much bigger role in Week 5 against the Colts.

Jones wasn't targeted in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Jones did contribute by returning two kickoffs for 44 yards and a pair of punts for 19 yards. He missed part of training camp along with the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury. It's possible he begins to see more work on offense in the near future, but with the Bears averaging fewer than 20 pass attempts per week, there may not be many targets to go around.

Smith-Marsette failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Smith-Marsette has seen limited snaps on offense, but his only contribution on the stat sheet has been a 17-yard kick return in Week 2. Unless his role changes, his fantasy value will remain low.

Pettis failed to catch any of his three targets in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Aside from a 51-yard touchdown in Week 1 on a broken play, Pettis has failed to catch another pass this season. Unless his role changes, and the Bears begin throwing the football more, Pettis is unlikely to collect many receptions.
