Conley did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 40-0 loss to Buffalo.

It was the second straight week with one target and zero catches for Conley, who has played 88 percent of the offensive snaps those two games. He and the rest of the team's receiving options suffered from poor quarterback play Sunday, as rookie Davis Mills threw four picks and had a 23.4 QB rating.

Humphries caught his lone target for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-30 win over Atlanta.

It was a season low for targets, but Humphries actually handled his second-largest snap share (67 percent) of the year in Curtis Samuel's Washington debut. The former Panther mostly took snaps away from rookie Dyami Brown, who has now caught only five of 14 targets for 51 yards (and picked up a knee injury during Sunday's win). It looks like Samuel and Humphries will get most of the playing time alongside Terry McLaurin in Week 5 against New Orleans, but snaps won't necessarily lead to targets and yards for Humphries.

Peoples-Jones was not targeted over 46 snaps (59 percent) in Sunday's 14-7 win over Minnesota.

This was the first time in four games that Peoples-Jones went untargeted, but he's played a minor role even when getting looks from quarterback Baker Mayfield. The second-year wideout has just four targets through four weeks, and it appears Rashard Higgins will be the primary beneficiary of Jarvis Landry's absence due to a knee injury. Higgins has nine targets compared to Peoples-Jones' two over the last two games without Landry.

Schwartz did not catch his lone target and returned one kickoff for 26 yards in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Vikings.

Schwartz has not caught a ball since snaring three in an opening-week loss to the Chiefs. Since then, he's been targeted exactly once in three straight contests. Sunday did see the 2021 third-round draft pick take on kickoff return duties. Through the first three weeks, fellow rookie Demetric Felton had served as the primary kick returner, but Felton's workload on offense is growing.

Hinton caught one of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

Hinton, like the rest of the Broncos offense, had a tough time getting things going in Week 4, particularly after Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) left the game. Since being signed to Denver's active roster after Jerry Jeudy was placed on IR with an ankle injury, Hinton has not earned much of a role. He did, however, see his snap share on offense jump to 43 percent in Week 4 after playing on only seven percent and six percent of offensive snaps in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively. With injuries to Jeudy, KJ Hamler (knee) and now Diontae Spencer (chest), Hinton may be called upon to take on more of a role going forward. He will look to make the most of any added opportunities when the Broncos travel to Pittsburgh on Oct. 10.

Patrick caught three of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

Patrick's strong start to the year has come to a halt, as he was held out of the end zone for the second straight week after hitting paydirt in the first two games. With that said, the 27-year-old has found himself in a prime spot to be real contributor for the Broncos' offense, as injuries have forced him into the starting lineup alongside Courtland Sutton until Jerry Jeudy (ankle) gets healthy. Patrick will get a chance to bounce back in a Week 5 matchup against the Steelers, a contest that may include Drew Lock at the helm if Teddy Bridgewater is forced to miss additional time due to the concussion he suffered Sunday.

Sutton caught three of eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

It was a rough day at the office for Sutton and the Broncos as the team struggled to get much going on offense, especially once Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) left the game. Sutton's eight targets were the second highest of any Denver pass catcher, however. Despite the lackluster fantasy day, the wideout remains the focal point of a passing attack that has been depleted by injuries so far in 2021. The 6-foot-4, 216-pounder will look to get back on track in Week 5 when the Broncos visit the Steelers, a game which may feature Drew Lock at quarterback.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on eight targets for 29 yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Jets.

Westbrook-Ikhine popped onto the fantasy radar after his Week 3 performance and was expected to maintain an increased role with both A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) absent. However, despite finishing third on the team with eight targets, Westbrook-Ikhine was held in check and averaged only 3.6 yards per target. While no receiver was particularly impressive, both Josh Reynolds and Chester Rogers showcased superior rapport with quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Even so, Westbrook-Ikhine will have the chance to redeem himself in a Week 5 matchup against the Jaguars if Brown and Jones remain sidelined.

Reynolds recorded six receptions on nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Jets.

Reynolds made his debut with the Titans after being slowed by a foot injury and serving as a healthy scratch through three weeks of the season. However, he immediately occupied a big role in the offense and was out-targeted by only Jeremy McNichols. He did a lot of work in the middle range of the field, with the majority of his receptions picked up between seven and 12 yards. Reynolds' potential involvement in the team's Week 5 offensive attack will likely revolve around the availability of Julio Jones (hamstring) and A.J. Brown (hamstring) -- both of whom were absent against the Jets.

Meyers had eight receptions (12 targets) for 70 yards while also completing both of his pass attempts for 45 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Tampa Bay.

Meyers turned in another solid fantasy line, leading the team in receptions and targets for the second week in a row. The 25-year-old also gave his managers a little boost on a couple of trick plays resulting in 45 passing yards. This isn't the first time Meyers has been used as a passer, as he also completed two passes on trick plays last season. The third-year man is looking like the Patriots' top receiving option heading into a soft matchup against the Texans in Week 5.
