  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Quiet again in Week 4 win

    Williams recorded two receptions on eight targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns. He added one rush for minus-three yards.

    Williams has had a slow start to the season, with Sunday's performance marking the third time in four games that he's logged fewer than 45 receiving yards. This showing was particularly troubling because he led the team in targets, and the Lions seemingly made an effort to get him going. Per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, Jared Goff took responsibility for some miscues when targeting Williams, saying he made poor reads, though Williams also dropped several passes.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Scoring binge continues Sunday

    Odunze had four receptions on eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Raiders.

    Odunze's scoring onslaught continued when he gutted the Raiders' secondary for a 27-yard touchdown on Chicago's first possession of the second half. The breakout fantasy star has generated five touchdowns during his impressive four-game scoring streak to kick off the season. Odunze's eight targets Sunday were on par with his 8.8 average through four weeks, giving fantasy managers a reliable WR1 asset so far. The talented sophomore will attempt to extend his scoring streak when the Bears resume play against the Commanders in Week 6 on Oct. 13 following the team's upcoming bye.

  • A.J. Brown WR | PHI

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Forgettable numbers in loss

    Brown brought in two of nine targets for seven yards in the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    After coming to life with a 6-109-1 line against the Rams in Week 3, Brown's production slumped again. The veteran wideout's yardage total was a new season low and his second single-digit yardage figure over the first four games of 2025. Jalen Hurts did try to get the ball in Brown's hands however, and he has 27 targets in his last three contests. Brown could struggle once again to build momentum as the Broncos' suffocating secondary comes to town next Sunday afternoon for a tough Week 5 matchup.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Over 100-yard mark in win

    Diggs brought in six of seven targets for 101 yards in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Drake Maye threw for a relatively modest 203 yards on the afternoon in the easy victory, but Diggs accounted for about half of that in his best game yet as a Patriot. The veteran wideout led New England's pass catchers across the board, including a team-best 33-yard reception, and the performance could serve as a launchpad for Diggs ahead of a marquee Week 5 divisional showdown against his old Bills teammates next Sunday night.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Felt pain, instability in knee

    Pearsall said he felt some pain and instability after he fell hard on his knee in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

    Pearsall tried to gut through the injury but returned for just one play in the second half before deciding to shut things down for the remainder of the day. San Francisco has a quick Week 5 turnaround ahead of Thursday night's upcoming divisional battle with the Rams in Los Angeles. If Pearsall can't suit up for that one, the 49ers will again be relying on Kendrick Bourne to play significant offensive snaps alongside Jauan Jennings, who is playing through multiple nagging injuries of his own, and Demarcus Robinson.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Explodes for 170 yards and TD

    Nacua hauled in 13 of 15 targets for 170 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 victory over Indianapolis.

    Nacua finally cashed in his first receiving touchdown of 2025, which had been the only ingredient missing from a white-hot start to the campaign. The star wideout garnered a whopping 15 targets for the second consecutive game, confirming his status as QB Matthew Stafford's unquestioned No. 1 option even with the addition of Davante Adams this past offseason. The 24-year-old Nacua is also proving to be one of the top players in general in fantasy with 555 combined yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns through four games, as he scored a 45-yard rushing TD in Week 2. The Rams will face a quick turnaround before hosting the 49ers in a battle of 3-1 NFC West clubs on Thursday Night Football in Week 5.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Just three grabs Sunday

    Robinson caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    The five targets tied for the team lead with tight end Theo Johnson, but it was still disappointing volume for Robinson in Jaxson Dart's first career NFL start under center, especially considering that Malik Nabers (knee) was knocked out of the game in the second quarter. Nabers could have a torn ACL which would sideline him for the remainder of 2025, a brutal blow to the Giants offense that would leave Robinson and Darius Slayton atop the depth chart at WR. Robinson will take an 18-237-1 line on 27 targets into a Week 5 clash with the Saints, but the bulk of that production came Week 2 with Russell Wilson at the helm of the offense.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Leading receiver in Week 4 win

    Slayton caught three of four targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers.

    While the volume and production were modest, Slayton wound up leading the Giants in receptions and receiving yards in Jaxson Dart's first career start at QB, as Malik Nabers (knee) was knocked out of the game in the second quarter. Nabers' injury is feared to be a torn ACL which would end his season, a development that would make Slayton the team's top downfield option, albeit in arguably the weakest wide receiver group in the league. The veteran WR will take a 9-135-0 line on 13 targets into a Week 5 contest against the Saints.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Long TD in Week 4 loss

    Egbuka brought in four of 10 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for no gain during the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    The rookie tied for the team lead in targets with Chris Godwin (ankle) in the veteran's season debut, and Egbuka flashed with a 77-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter. The 2025 first-round pick's yardage total was also a career-high figure, and his TD was already his fourth in four NFL games. Egbuka's target total has risen in each contest, and that trend could continue in a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks with Mike Evans (hamstring) expected to remain on the shelf.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Three catches in season debut

    Godwin (ankle) secured three of 10 targets for 26 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Godwin made his season debut after completing his recovery from last October's ankle dislocation, and despite concerns he'd be eased into action, the veteran wideout finished tied for the team lead in targets with Emeka Egbuka. Godwin's inefficiency wasn't unexpected considering the coverage skills of the Eagles' secondary and his long layoff, but the immediate attention from Baker Mayfield was also warranted due to the absence of Mike Evans (hamstring). With Evans expected to miss multiple games, Godwin is likely to remain heavily involved in the passing attack in a Week 5 road trip to Seattle.
