McLaurin caught six of 13 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons.

McLaurin hauled in fewer than half of the balls thrown his way but made the most out of his catches. He got Washington on the board with a 33-yard touchdown in the second quarter, then scored the first of two Washington touchdowns in the final four minutes of the fourth from 17 yards out. After watching his touchdown total plummet from seven as a rookie to four last season, the third-year wide receiver out of Ohio State has already scored three times through four games. McLaurin will have a tricky matchup against standout Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore in Week 5 but should continue to get plenty of attention from quarterback Taylor Heinicke.

Beckham brought in two of seven targets for 27 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Browns' 14-7 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Beckham's final line would have looked appreciably better had Baker Mayfield hit him on what would have been a likely walk-in 62-yard touchdown, but the duo failed to connect in what has been a fairly frequent trend during their time together. Mayfield had only 15 completions on the day, and Beckham did tie Rashard Higgins for the team lead in targets, so a bit more efficiency overall would have resulted in a serviceable fantasy performance, at minimum. Beckham will look to bounce back versus the tough Chargers secondary on the road Week 5.

Moore recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 113 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Cowboys.

Moore drew double-digit targets for the third consecutive game and has now surpassed 100 receiving yards in each of his last two contests. Against the Cowboys, he managed big gains of 39 and 29 yards, both of which came primarily after the catch. His touchdowns did come late in the game and with the Panthers down multiple scores. Regardless of when the production has come, it's been a strong start to the season for Moore, as he has 398 receiving yards and three touchdowns through four contests.

Thielen brought in three of eight targets for 46 yards in the Vikings' 14-7 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Thielen's catch rate left plenty to be desired, but his yardage total, modest as it was, did qualify as the second highest on the Vikings for the afternoon. The veteran went without a touchdown for the first time in four games this season, and both his reception and yardage totals qualified as low-water marks on the campaign for him as well. Thielen will look to bounce back against the vulnerable Lions secondary Week 5 at home.

Jefferson brought in six of seven targets for 84 yards in the Vikings' 14-7 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Jefferson looked like he was headed for another big day when he capped off the Vikings' opening 14-play drive with a 12-yard touchdown grab. He did end up pacing Minnesota in receptions and receiving yards for the day, and the 22-year-old now has a touchdown grab in three straight games. Jefferson will look to boost his overall production at the expense of a vulnerable Lions secondary in a Week 5 home matchup.

Smith caught seven of 10 targets for 122 yards in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

Smith successfully created separation throughout the game against the struggling Chiefs defense. The 10th overall pick still made some rookie mistakes, including running a wrong route that almost led to a Jalen Hurts interception late in the first half, but there's no question that Smith has the talent to thrive in the NFL. Smith's 122 receiving yards in this one topped the 115 he had compiled over his first three games combined, and he'll look to build on this performance in Week 5 against the Panthers.

Robinson caught three passes for 63 yards in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Robinson had one short catch in the first half of action, but fortunately, Justin Fields was able to connect with him on a pair of passes over 20 yards after the break to give the receiver a decent fantasy performance. On the afternoon, Robinson was targeted just three times, but with the Bears controlling the game, Justin Fields only attempted 17 passes. With almost a quarter of the season in the books, Robinson has just 149 yards and one score, and unless the Chicago gets its passing game going on a week-to-week basis, he'll remain a risky fantasy option.

Mooney caught five passes for 125 yards while adding a 10-yard rush in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Mooney streaked between a pair of defenders, and Justin Fields threw a perfect pass on a 64-yard connection, helping the receiver to the first 100-yard game of his career. In a game the Bears threw just 17 passes, Mooney had seven targets, and he was the only Chicago receiver with more than three looks. He's now seen at least seven targets in all but one game this year, but with inconsistent production so far, he'll be a risky fantasy option with moderate upside.

Hill caught 11 of 12 targets for 186 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 42-30 win over the Eagles.

Hill came just short of the end zone on a 36-yard catch in the first quarter, as he hit the pylon with his arm before going out of bounds but the ball was in his other hand. He had no trouble crossing the plane as the game went on, scoring a six-yard touchdown on the very next possession before adding touchdowns of 12 and 44 yards in the fourth quarter. Hill has two 11-catch games north of 180 yards and two quiet performances through four weeks, and his immense ceiling will keep Kansas City's top wide receiver a premier fantasy play in Week 5 despite a tough matchup against the Bills.

Sims has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Falcons due to a hamstring injury.

Sims wasn't targeted to begin Sunday's game, but he went down in the fourth quarter and will be unable to return. DeAndre Carter could see a slight uptick in playing time with Sims unavailable.
