Tyler Johnson WR | DAL
Buccaneers' Tyler Johnson: Catchless in Week 4 win
Johnson failed to come up with either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 19-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday night. He also returned one kickoff for 10 yards.
A week after producing an encouraging 3-63 line against the Rams in a Week 3 loss, Johnson came up empty even with Scotty Miller (toe) on injured reserve. Antonio Brown's return from a one-game absence due to a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list and bad weather helped play a part in Johnson's downturn. His role seems unlikely to increase versus the Dolphins in Week 5.

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Gets another touchdown
Renfrow caught six of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 28-14 loss to the Chargers.
Renfrow did his usual work on crisp routes underneath, with his touchdown coming on a 10-yard reception to begin the third quarter. That play gave Renfrow a score in consecutive contests, and the 25-year-old has now hauled in at least five passes in every game this season. Despite the presence of Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller and lightning-quick deep threat Henry Ruggs, Renfrow remains a security blanket for Derek Carr, consistently helping the Raiders move the sticks.

Mike Williams WR | LAC
Chargers' Mike Williams: Just one catch
Williams caught just one of four targets for 11 yards in Monday night's 28-14 win over the Raiders.
Williams caught at least seven passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in each of his first three games entering Monday, so his mere one grab certainly fell well short of expectations. In his defense, though, Williams was badly missed by quarterback Justin Herbert on a wide-open deep pass early on. With hardly anything to show for his Week 4 performance, Williams will strive to get back on track Sunday against the Browns.

Keenan Allen WR | IND
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Makes seven grabs
Allen caught seven of 11 targets for 36 yards in Monday night's 28-14 win over the Raiders.
Allen was restricted to underneath passes in the first half but nearly hauled in a deep crossing route in the second, only for the ball to glance off his fingertips. Without a gain longer than nine yards, Allen was held in check by the Raiders defense, but the veteran once again led the Chargers in receptions and targets to salvage some value. Following consecutive games with under 6.5 yards per catch, Allen will try to get loose in Week 5 versus the Browns.

Equanimeous St. Brown WR | SF
Equanimeous St. Brown: Returns to practice squad
St. Brown reverted to Green Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
St. Brown was on the field for 11 offensive snaps and 10 on special teams in the Week 4 win over the Steelers. He failed to haul in his lone target, but he did register a tackle on special teams. St. Brown has one catch on two targets through two games so far this season.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Earns five touches Sunday
Moore had three catches on three targets for 28 yards, two carries for nine yards and one kick return for nine yards during Sunday's road victory against the Rams.
Moore made his presence felt in his first two NFL games, combining for an 11-182-1 line on a team-high 13 targets. In two outings since, he's hauled in just five passes from Kyler Murray for 29 yards to go with 12 more yards on the ground. Murray is spreading the ball around this year, and six different Cardinals have between 16 and 25 targets, but Moore seems likely to be hit or miss on a weekly basis. The rookie's next chance to make an impact arrives Sunday against the 49ers.
-
Christian Kirk WR | SF
Cardinals' Christian Kirk: Receives just one target Sunday
Kirk gathered in his only target for five yards during Sunday's 37-20 road win versus the Rams.
After opening the season with at least 65 yards receiving in each of Arizona's first three games, Kirk barely made an impact Week 4, despite getting a season-high 72-percent share of the offensive snaps. Kyler Murray has been keeping all of the team's key skill players involved, with Kirk (18 targets) one of six with at least 16. Kirk is just four yards shy of A.J. Green's 248 through the air for the team lead, and he's also one of three Cards with multiple TD catches. With another divisional battle looming against the 49ers on Sunday, Kirk will aim to bounce back.
-
DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins: Gets seven targets Week 4
Hopkins hauled in four of seven targets for 67 yards during Sunday's 37-20 road win against the Rams.
The Cardinals are closing in on the quarter mark of the season, and Hopkins has yet to reach 100 receiving yards in any of the team's four games. And after salvaging Weeks 1 and 2 with three touchdowns combined, he hasn't visited the end zone since. While Hopkins leads Arizona in targets with 25, quarterback Kyle Murray is keeping all his key skill players involved, with A.J. Green, Chase Edmonds, Rondale Moore, Christian Kirk and Maxx Williams also seeing at least 16 targets to date. The result has been four different players with at least 200 receiving yards and one TD (Hopkins, Green, Kirk and Moore), while Williams is just short of that pace. Hopkins will look to break out when the Cardinals host the 49ers on Sunday.
-
Parris Campbell WR | DAL
Colts' Parris Campbell: Just two receptions Sunday
Campbell had two receptions for 22 yards on three targets in Sunday's win at Miami.
Campbell's playing time was down as he was used on 31 of the offense's 71 snaps as the Colts used fewer three-receiver sets while the running game was going well (Jonathan Taylor had 103 yards rushing). Campbell still has upside if Indy's passing game gets in high gear, but Sunday's win showed Indy may be best when focused on the run.
-
K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Four touches in loss
Osborn had three receptions for 26 yards on seven targets and had one carry for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to Cleveland.
Osborn didn't produce many yards from scrimmage, but it was a positive sign he was second on the team in targets and used on a designed running play, especially after he had just two targets last week. Minnesota's offense struggled to move the ball against Cleveland's stout defense, so Osborn should improve next week against Detroit.
