Thornton was unable to haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

Thornton posted a zero in the fantasy scoring column, while quarterback Geno Smith struggled to get much of anything going through the air, completing 14 of 21 pass attempts for just 117 yards. On a more positive note for Thornton, he continues to retain the WR3 role behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, with fellow rookie Jack Bech logging only five offensive snaps Sunday.

Westbrook-Ikhine hauled in his lone target for a one-yard gain in Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.

Westbrook-Ikhine's 47 percent snap share placed him behind fellow wideouts Jaylen Waddle (90 percent) and Malik Washington (48 percent), but the workloads for both Westbrook-Ikhine and Washington should rise with Tyreek Hill having suffered a season-ending knee injury during the contest. While Westbrook-Ikhine had nine touchdowns in 17 games with the Titans in 2024, the scoring output came on just 32 catches and 60 targets, making it tough to rely on him repeating that sort of production even if his snaps increase dramatically in the weeks to come. Waddle, Washington, running back De'Von Achane and tight end Darren Waller are all likely to be higher priorities in the passing game than Westbrook-Ikhine, who has earned plaudits mainly for his blocking rather than his receiving abilities through his first six NFL seasons.

Washington reeled in two of three targets for 13 yards and added eight yards on two carries in Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.

Washington started and was on the field for 28 of the Dolphins' 58 offensive plays (48 percent), but his snap share appears destined to rise in the upcoming weeks after star wideout Tyreek Hill sustained a season-ending knee injury during Monday's contest. Jaylen Waddle is expected to settle in as the clear No. 1 target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sans Hill, but fellow receivers Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as well as running back De'Von Achane and tight end Darren Waller could all see their profiles in the passing game expand to varying degrees.

Hill was diagnosed with multiple ligament tears, including one to his ACL, after dislocating his left knee during Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill is slated to undergo surgery Tuesday, and based on the severity of his injury, the wideout is facing a lengthy recovery process that could extend into the start of the 2026 season. In the looming absence of Hill, Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are candidates to see added snaps at receiver alongside new No. 1 wideout Jaylen Waddle, while running back De'Von Achane and tight end Darren Waller could also be in line for expanded pass-game roles. In addition to his surgery Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes that Hill could require additional procedures to address the extensive damage to his knee. The 31-year-old is under contract at a non-guaranteed salary of $29.9 million for 2026, though $11 million will become fully guaranteed if he remains on the roster by the third day of the new league year in March.

Reynolds (hamstring) had no receptions (on two targets) in Monday's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins.

Reynolds returned from a hamstring injury that he suffered back in Week 1. The veteran wideout resumed his unappealing role as the Jets' No. 2 receiver behind Garrett Wilson (6-82-1), but he still finished in a tie for fourth in targets while failing to record a reception. While Reynolds technically is a starter for the Jets, he's not involved enough offensively to generate fantasy appeal even in a soft matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Mims had six receptions on as many targets for 69 yards while taking his only carry for a 16-yard touchdown in Monday's 28-3 win over Cincinnati.

Mims saved his best for the bright lights of Monday Night Football, finishing with a team high six receptions while scoring his second touchdown of the season. This was clearly a standout performance from the Broncos' third receiver, with Monday's receiving yardage surpassing the combined totals from his previous three outings. Mims possesses big-play ability that could show up on any given week, but his role is too unpredictable to warrant starting him in standard leagues against the Eagles on Sunday.

Higgins brought in three of six targets for 32 yards in the Bengals' 28-3 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.

Higgins led the Bengals in receiving yards, but considering Jake Browning threw for just 125 yards, it was still a very quiet night for the talented receiver. Higgins has put together an underwhelming first four games overall, as he has a 10-136-1 line on 20 targets in his first four games, including a three-catch, 33-yard effort against the Browns in Week 1, the one full game he played with Joe Burrow (IR, toe). With Browning averaging just 5.1 yards per attempt in his first two starts and Brett Rypien the only other healthy option on the QB depth chart, Higgins' fantasy outlook remains depressed heading into a Week 5 home matchup against the Lions.

Franklin brought in four of eight targets for 55 yards in Monday's 28-3 victory over the Bengals.

Franklin rebounded from last week's stinker (2-8-0) with his second-highest yardage total through four games. The 22-year-old's eight targets paced Denver's receiving corps, but drops were an issue after finishing with a 50 percent catch rate. Franklin has flashed upside with a 18-196-1 line as a second-year pro, but his Week 5 fantasy value should be limited to deeper formats against the Eagles on Sunday.

Vele accrued zero targets during Sunday's 31-19 loss versus the Bills.

Vele missed the Saints' Week 3 loss to Seattle with a hip injury, and he was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Buffalo. The 27-year-old played just four offensive snaps after he logged 17 in Week 1 and 24 in Week 2. Vele will look for more usage during the Week 5 contest versus the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 5, but his fantasy value will remain extremely minimal so long as Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Juwan Johnson and Brandin Cooks are healthy.

Chase secured five of eight targets for 23 yards in the Bengals' 28-3 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.

Chase led the Bengals in receptions, but on a night when Jake Browning threw for only 125 yards, that slotting didn't come close to leading to any meaningful fantasy production. Chase has recorded 10 receptions in his first two full games with Browning as his quarterback, but he's averaging only 7.3 yards per reception in that span, with only one of those catches going for 20-plus yards. If Browning remains under center for a Week 5 home matchup against the Lions, Chase will be hard to trust against a talented Detroit defense irrespective of his upside.
