  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Once catch vs. Miami

    Lazard hauled in his lone target for eight yards during the Jets' 27-21 loss to the Dolphins on Monday.

    Lazard was on the field for 27 of the Jets' 63 snaps on offense (42.9 percent), which was fourth most among wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson (62), Josh Reynolds (42) and rookie fourth-rounder Arian Smith (29). Lazard has logged three catches (on four targets) for 21 yards and a touchdown over the last two games, but his role in the offense is unlikely to expand unless more snaps become available due to injury, illness or suspension. Lazard and the Jets will travel back to New York for the start of their three-game homestand, beginning with the Cowboys on Sunday.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Lands on IR

    The Browns placed Tillman (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Tillman had generated an 11-106-2 receiving line on 20 targets through the first four weeks of the season before an early exit from this past Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Lions due to a hamstring injury. The wideout will have to miss at least the next four games, marking the Browns' Week 10 contest against the Jets as his earliest possible return date. While Tillman is out, Isaiah Bond and Jamari Thrash are expected to see added opportunities on offense behind No. 1 wideout Jerry Jeudy.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Season-ending surgery confirmed

    Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Hill (knee) underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    McDaniel relayed that Hill's surgery addressed a dislocation of the receiver's left knee, as well as damage to multiple ligaments, including a torn ACL. Given the extensive damage he sustained in Monday's win over the Jets, the 31-year-old wideout could require additional follow-up procedures, which may affect his availability for next season. Hill will be entering the final season of his contract in 2026 at a non-guaranteed $29.9 million salary, though he'll be fully guaranteed $11 million plus a $5 million bonus if he remains on Miami's roster through the third day of the new league year in March. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with a 21-265-1 receiving line on 29 targets over four games.

  • Eagles' John Metchie: Season-high two catches

    Metchie recorded two receptions for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-25 victory over Tampa Bay.

    Metchie totaled two catches for eight yards across the first three games of the season, so Sunday's performance represented his best effort to date. He remains firmly the fourth receiver on the Eagles' depth chart, however, as he saw the field for just five offensive snaps compared to 31 for No. 3 wideout Jahan Dotson.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | PHI

    Eagles' Jahan Dotson: No catches in Week 4

    Dotson was not targeted a single time in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Buccaneers.

    Dotson has rarely recorded more than one catch in a game during his two seasons with the Eagles, and he didn't even reach that low threshold Sunday. He's now been blanked seven times in 21 regular season games with the team.

  • Jalen Royals WR | KC

    Chiefs' Jalen Royals: Sees first pro action in Week 4

    Royals accrued zero targets during Sunday's 37-20 win against the Ravens.

    Royals didn't accumulate any snaps in any of the first three weeks, but the Chiefs took hold of a sizable lead against the Ravens, enough so that in the second half, the bench players got into the mix. Royals remains buried on the depth chart at this juncture, and there's little reason to anticipate that changing, especially with Rashee Rice's six-game suspension expiring prior to the Week 7 clash with the Raiders.

  • Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Finds paydirt against Ravens

    Smith-Schuster hauled in four of six targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-20 win versus the Ravens.

    The veteran wideout's workload is set to decline in a couple weeks when Rashee Rice returns from his six-game suspension, but Smith-Schuster continues to play a key role in the offense for KC in the meantime, as he led the wideout room with 57 offensive snaps (78 percent) in Week 4. Sunday's effort marked the first time he's reached double-digit PPR points this season, and he'll likely remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy option while in a prominent role. That said, he has a decent matchup ahead versus the Jaguars in Week 5.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Status uncertain for Week 5

    San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Tuesday that he expects Pearsall (knee) to be listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Pearsall is on the mend from what the 49ers have labeled as a minor PCL injury to his right knee, which the second-year wideout sustained in the third quarter of Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars. He was sent in for further testing Monday and was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated practice report later that day. The 49ers will hold a walk-through session Tuesday for their lone on-field workout for Week 5, and if Pearsall isn't able to take any reps, he could face an uphill battle to gain clearance. Through the first four weeks of the season, Pearsall leads the 49ers in receiving yards (327) and ranks second to only running back Christian McCaffrey in catches (20) and targets (29).

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Production slips in Week 4

    Bateman caught one of two targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.

    Bateman took on his highest offensive snap share of the season (81 percent), but the box-score production didn't follow. He had his lowest target count of the season and was held to just one reception after seemingly having a breakout in the Week 3 loss to Detroit with five catches for 63 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore's passing attack suffered in the second half against the Chiefs after quarterback Lamar Jackson exited midway through the third quarter with a hamstring injury. Bateman's fantasy upside for the Ravens' Week 5 matchup with the Texans largely hinges on Jackson's health and availability for that contest.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Plays five offensive snaps in loss

    Bech was not targeted by quarterback Geno Smith in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

    Not only was Bech absent from Sunday's box score, but he also played just five offensive snaps while Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton remain well ahead in the pecking order at wide receiver. Bech figures to retain a special teams role with limited opportunities on offense against the Colts in Week 5.
