DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' D.J. Moore: Season low in receiving
Moore caught four of his six targets for 49 receiving yards during Sunday's 31-21 win against the Cardinals.
The Maryland product enjoyed a lucrative Week 2 outing against Tampa Bay, racking up eight catches for 120 yards on his 13 targets. In Moore's other three appearances of 2020, however, the 23-year-old wideout has accumulated 3.3 catches and 56 receiving yards per contest -- certainly not pedestrian production in the fantasy realm, but averages that would land him well short from his 87-catch, 1,175-yard campaign of 2019. Moore's next matchup offers a "get right" opportunity, as he faces a banged-up Falcons defense that entered Week 4 allowing the second-highest total of WR receiving yards (736).

Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: Career-best receiving total in loss
Shenault caught five of six targets for 86 yards and rushed once for five yards in Sunday's 33-25 loss to Cincinnati.
A large chunk of Shenault's production came in the two-minute drill at the end of the first half, as he recorded three catches for 59 yards to set up a 20-yard field goal. He finished nine receiving yards shy of DJ Chark's team-leading total, but Chark found the end zone twice while Shenault has now gone three weeks without a touchdown after scoring in his NFL debut. Shenault more than doubled his previous career high of 37 receiving yards, and he'll look to build off this performance in Week 5 against the winless Texans.

Jalen Guyton WR | LV
Chargers' Jalen Guyton: Makes one reception count
Guyton secured his only target for a 72-yard touchdown in the Chargers' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Drawing a spot start in the No. 2 wideout role in place of Mike Williams (hamstring), Guyton was nearly a complete non-factor on the afternoon before breaking free on a post pattern on the final play of the third quarter to erase a 28-24 deficit for the Chargers. The big scoring play gave those who streamed Guyton in season-long formats or utilized him as a DFS punt play something for their trouble, and it remains to be seen if the North Texas product will have another starting opportunity in Williams' stead in a Week 5 road matchup against the Saints.

Keenan Allen WR | IND
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Heavy workload in loss
Allen brought in eight of 12 targets for 62 yards in the Chargers' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
The veteran wideout was due for a busy day with Mike Williams (hamstring) out of action, and he unsurprisingly ended up pacing the team in receptions and targets. Allen has now brought in 28 of 41 targets for 290 yards and a touchdown in three games with Justin Herbert under center after securing four of eight targets for 37 yards in his one game with Tyrod Taylor (ribs/lung) as his quarterback Week 1. Allen will look to keep up his strong connection with Herbert if the latter helms the offense once again in a Week 5 road matchup versus the Saints.

Odell Beckham Jr. WR | MIN
Browns' Odell Beckham: Scores three TDs vs. Cowboys
Beckham caught five of eight targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Cowboys. He also carried two times for 73 yards and another score in the 49-38 win.
Beckham caught a long touchdown pass from Jarvis Landry in the first quarter and hauled in a four-yard strike from Baker Mayfield in the second. Perhaps his best highlight of the day came on a 50-yard touchdown run in the final minutes after Dallas had nearly climbed out of a massive hole. Beckham had been relatively quiet through the first three games with one touchdown and just 11 catches to his name, so this offensive outburst was a positive sign for his fantasy value moving forward. Next Sunday's matchup with the Colts could prove challenging, but perhaps Beckham can build on this excellent outing.

David Moore WR | CAR
Seahawks' David Moore: Finds end zone in win
Moore caught three of four targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.
We've seen this from Moore in the past, as he's a boom-or-bust receiver due to his blazing speed. Nevertheless, it was an impressive outing, as he tied Tyler Lockett in targets, finished second to DK Metcalf in receiving yards and was the only Seahawks wide receiver to score Sunday. He's worth keeping an eye on in deeper fantasy formats, especially if Metcalf or Lockett get hurt, but keep in mind that he's coming off a one-catch, two-yard performance in Week 3. Moore's best suited for DFS tournament formats.

Scott Miller WR | CHI
Buccaneers' Scotty Miller: Records TD in win
Miller (hip/groin) secured five of seven targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Despite the fact he was beset by a pair of lower-body injuries throughout the week, Miller showed no ill effects on a nifty 44-yard reception and subsequent 19-yard scoring grab in a go-ahead third-quarter drive for the Buccaneers that solely consisted of the speedster's pair of catches. Miller clearly benefited from the absence of Chris Godwin (hamstring), and with the latter not expected to be ready for Thursday night's road battle against the Bears, the second-year pro should have a good chance of putting together a successful encore to his back-to-back 83-yard performances.

Tre'Quan Smith WR | DET
Saints' Tre'Quan Smith: Scores twice as Thomas sits again
Smith hauled in all four of his targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-29 win over the Lions.
Smith caught touchdowns of two and 20 yards in the final 3:03 of the first half, as the Saints turned a 14-0 deficit into a 28-14 halftime lead. New Orleans' offense has gone more run-heavy with top wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) sidelined for the past three games, but Smith has emerged as quarterback Drew Brees' second-favorite target behind running back Alvin Kamara when the team turns to the air. If Thomas isn't ready to return in Week 5, Smith's prominent role will make him an appealing option against a Chargers defense that just surrendered five passing touchdowns to Tampa Bay.
-
DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Second straight 100-yard effort
Metcalf caught four of six targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.
Metcalf has been the epitome of consistency this season. He's reeled in exactly four passes, recorded at least 90 receiving yards, and been targeted six or more times in each game this season. Unfortunately, this is Metcalf's first game without a touchdown, but it's been a fantastic start nonetheless with a total of 403 receiving yards through four contests. He's outpacing Tyler Lockett by a wide margin in the yardage department, too. Metcalf is a must-start fantasy receiver in 2020, especially in Week 5 against a Vikings team that has allowed a total of 13 passing scores this season.
