  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Decreased workload in Week 4

    Douglas was on the field for eight of a possible 49 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-13 win over the Panthers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

    In the process, the slot receiver didn't record a target, with Reiss noting that Douglas' dip in playing time corresponded with Stefon Diggs' snap share increasing Sunday. Though there will be weeks where Douglas is more involved in the offense, be it via game plan or game flow, his 5-13-1 line on 13 targets through four games has him off the fantasy lineup radar for now.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Scores TD versus Panthers

    Hollins, who logged 24 of a possible 49 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-13 win over the Panthers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target in the contest for a four-yard TD.

    Hollins has scored in two of his last three games, but with an overall 7-42-2 line on nine targets through Week 4, he profiles as TD-dependent option in deeper fantasy formats as this weekend's game against the Bills approaches.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Once catch versus Carolina

    Boutte, who was on the field for 34 of a possible 49 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-13 win over the Panthers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his three targets in the contest for 18 yards.

    Since opening the season with a six-catch, 103-yard effort Week 1, Boutte has just four catches (on seven targets) for 62 yards and a TD in three games since then. At that rate of production, he's a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option ahead of this coming weekend's game against the Bills.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Snags pair of passes in win

    Palmer caught two of three targets for 25 yards in the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Palmer's playing time has dwindled in recent weeks. After playing over 62 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1 against the Ravens, Palmer's workload has dipped in each game since, landing at just 25 percent against New Orleans. In a Buffalo offense that likes to cycle through its receivers and tight ends throughout the course of a game, Palmer holds minimal fantasy value unless injuries crop up ahead of him on the depth chart.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Scores again in Week 4

    Shakir secured all five of his targets for 69 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.

    Most of Shakir's production came on a 43-yard touchdown in the first quarter, as he put his YAC ability on full display and broke multiple tackles on a reception initially made behind the line of scrimmage. He played a season-low 29 offensive snaps versus New Orleans, but game script may have been a factor in his reduced workload. Shakir has scored in back-to-back weeks and is one of the top targets for Josh Allen in a Bills offense that has piled up 30-plus points in all four regular-season games so far. He'll look to keep up his momentum at home against the division-rival Patriots in Week 5 on Sunday, Oct. 5.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: ACL tear confirmed

    Nabers (knee) suffered a season-ending torn right ACL tear in Sunday's win over the Chargers, Dianna Russini of The Athletic and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.

    Nabers went down while attempting to make a leaping grab on a deep pass attempt from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, and the nature of the injury was confirmed Monday via an MRI. His loss is a brutal blow to both Dart's development and New York's passing game as a whole, which now will turn to Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt as regulars in three-wide sets, as well as offer further opportunities for tight end Theo Johnson and running back Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) once he's healthy. Nabers is expected to land on IR in short order.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Just two catches versus Pats

    Renfrow caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Renforw has been held in check over the Panthers' last two contests, catching four of his six targets for just 16 yards, despite Carolina being without two of its top wideouts in Jalen Coker (quadriceps) and Xavier Legette (hamstring). Additionally, Renfrow (32 snaps) played fewer offensive snaps than Brycen Tremayne (53 snaps), suggesting he's operating as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver even with all the injuries. His role in Carolina's offense seems to have diminished, making him a risky fantasy option in a Week 5 matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Panthers' Brycen Tremayne: Another solid outing Sunday

    Tremayne caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Patriots.

    The Stanford product has emerged as one of the Panthers' key depth options at wide receiver with both Xavier Legette (hamstring) and Jalen Coker (quadriceps) sidelined. Over the past three games, Tremayne has caught eight of his 11 targets for 99 yards, second to only Tetairoa McMillan's 210 yards during that stretch. Tremayne is expected to continue serving as one of the Panthers' top reserve wideouts in Week 4, when the Dolphins travel to Carolina.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Targeted once in win

    Noel caught his lone target for minus-2 yards and returned three punts for 15 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over Tennessee in Week 4.

    Noel, who continued to play a limited role on offense, has caught three of four targets for nine yards through the first quarter of the season. He does have a more significant role on special teams as a punt returner and sometimes kickoff returner, although he was replaced on kickoffs Sunday by Tremon Smith.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | ATL

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Anticipated Week 6 return

    The Falcons expect Mooney (hamstring) to get healthy over the team's bye and retake the field Week 6 versus the Bills on Monday, Oct. 13, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Mooney was forced out of Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders early in the third quarter due to a hamstring injury, but he's not expected to miss any further time. He secured his only target for 16 yards before exiting Sunday's contest. Mooney also missed Week 1 due to a shoulder injury, and across his three appearances this season he's tallied just seven catches for 79 yards on 16 targets.
