Davis secured one of three targets for 13 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

The speedster was again questionable with an ankle issue coming into the day, but he was able to play through it without any obvious limitations. However, the Ravens' defense made life more difficult than usual on Josh Allen, leading to Davis' meager showing. He'll look to bounce back from his season-low totals at the expense of the Steelers defense in a Week 5 home matchup.

Brown had a game-high 95 yards on five receptions (seven targets) in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Jaguars.

Brown remains quarterback Jalen Hurts' favorite weapon early on, finishing with the team lead in targets for third time in four contests. The 25-year-old continues to thrive with his new club while playing alongside fellow star wideout DeVonta Smith. Brown is averaging a whipping 101.0 yards per game heading into a favorable matchup against Arizona's pass defense next Sunday.

Metcalf secured seven of 10 targets for 149 yards in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Metcalf produced team-high figures in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with a 54-yard grab the highlight of his performance. The trademark effort made up for a slow start to the season for Metcalf, who'd topped out at seven receptions and 64 yards in terms of his individual game highs over the first three weeks of the campaign. With his first 100-yard effort of 2022 now under his belt, Metcalf will look to put together a successful encore in a Week 5 road battle versus the Saints.

Gallup caught two passes for 24 yards and one touchdown on three targets against Washington on Sunday.

Gallup's target count was a bit disappointing, but he didn't seem especially limited as he made his 2022 debut following his 2021 season-ending ACL tear. A more likely reason for Gallup's limited usage would simply be the fact that quarterback Cooper Rush, though he played well overall Sunday, doesn't have the arm to make the most of Gallup's downfield skill set. If Dak Prescott (thumb) can return to full strength soon, that would probably help Gallup generate a bit more momentum.

Johnson secured two of four targets for 11 yards while rushing twice for 11 yards during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Johnson was held without a catch during the first half of Sunday's matchup, but he secured both of his targets in the second half after Kenny Pickett entered the game at quarterback. However, Johnson was held under 50 yards for the first time this season, and he had just four targets after tallying double-digit looks in each of the first four weeks of the season. The 26-year-old will face a tough test in Week 5 against Buffalo's stingy pass defense.

Lamb caught six passes for 97 yards and one touchdown on eight targets in a loss to Washington on Sunday.

Lamb has seemed locked in since his brutal dropped pass in Week 3, both in that game and in this strong Week 4 showing. Although Washington's pass defense is among the league's weakest, it's still reassuring to see Lamb post this clean box score with his backup quarterback, especially after a slow start to the season. Lamb will need to keep playing well to maintain his momentum against the Rams in Week 5 -- a matchup where hopefully he can avoid the coverage of Jalen Ramsey as much as possible.

Mooney caught four of five targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants.

Mooney came into this one averaging just nine receiving yards per game in 2022 but posted a performance reminiscent of last season's 1,055-yard campaign. He accounted for most of Justin Fields' 174 passing yards, with the majority of Mooney's production coming on a 56-yard catch in the first quarter. Mooney should remain the top fantasy option in Chicago's low-volume passing game against the Vikings in Week 5.

Pickens secured six of eight targets for 102 yards during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Pickens was held to 31 yards on two receptions in the first half of Sunday's matchup, but he had increased success after Kenny Pickett entered the game to begin the second half. Pickens had the team's longest reception for a third consecutive week and topped 100 yards for the first time in his career. The Steelers haven't yet indicated which quarterback will start next week against the Bills, but it's possible that Pickens remains more involved if Pickett serves as the team's starter under center.

Samuel caught four passes for 38 yards on six targets against Dallas on Sunday.

Samuel saw zero carries for the first time all year, and he otherwise was limited by the poor production of quarterback Carson Wentz. The pass rush was once again a big issue for Washington, and until that's figured out, it might be difficult for Samuel to spring the big play, though he certainly has the ability to.

McLaurin caught two passes for 15 yards on six targets in a loss against Dallas on Sunday.

For the second consecutive week, quarterback Carson Wentz struggled badly, taking far too many hits and displaying scattershot accuracy. McLaurin's abilities are well documented and rarely are his struggles his fault, but he really needs Wentz and the Washington offensive line to get its act together. The good news is that Washington plays Tennessee in Week 5, and its pass rush should prove less threatening than those of the Eagles and Cowboys over the last two weeks.
