  • Keenan Allen WR | LAC

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Five grabs in Week 4 loss

    Allen caught five of seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

    The veteran wideout failed to haul in at least 60 yards for the first time this season and saw his TD streak end at three games, but Allen still racked up at least five receptions for the fourth straight week to begin his reunion with the Chargers. He'll take a 24-231-3 line on 35 targets into Week 5's clash with a vulnerable Commanders secondary.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Finds end zone again Sunday

    Johnston caught eight of 13 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

    The 2023 first-round pick appears to be coming into his own. Johnston hauled in his fourth TD in four games with a 36-yard strike from Justin Herbert in the second quarter, and he led the Chargers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while setting personal bests for the season in all three categories. Johnston's 2025 rise has coincided with a decline in fortunes for Ladd McConkey, and at some point Herbert may make an effort to get the latter going, but Johnston will be the one taking an impressive 22-337-4 line on 36 targets into a Week 5 meeting with the Commanders.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Can't get on same page as Herbert

    McConkey caught just one of six targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

    Justin Herbert had his worst game of the season to date, but Quentin Johnston (8-98-1 on 13 targets) still put together a strong performance while Keenan Allen (5-37-0 on seven targets) maintained a solid floor. McConkey, on the other hand, failed to catch multiple passes in a game for the first time in his career. The 2024 second-round pick showed too much chemistry with Herbert as a rookie to think he's suddenly going to disappear from the Chargers' game plan, but McConkey will be tough to have active in most fantasy formats until he begins to show the same kind of spark he did last year. He'll look to begin a breakout Week 5 against the Commanders.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Back in Sunday's contest

    Pearsall (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Pearsall missed about one quarter's worth of time in the second half due to a right knee injury, which may have been an aggravation of the knee issue that impacted his practice reps during Week 4 prep. In any case, he'll look to build on a 4-46-0 line on five targets that he'd compiled before his exit.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Injures knee Sunday

    Pearsall sustained a right knee injury during Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    After attempting to haul in a Brock Purdy pass early in the third quarter down the left sideline, Pearsall was shaken up and spent some time in the blue medical tent before the 49ers deemed him questionable to return. At the end of the same drive, Jauan Jennings appeared to injure his ribs as he gathered in a Purdy pass for a successful two-point conversion, so the statuses of the team's top wideouts are up in the air with more than a quarter left to play.

  • Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Paces pass catchers in loss

    McMillan secured four of eight targets for 62 yards in the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    McMillan had been listed as questionable coming into the afternoon due to a calf issue, but the rookie first-round pick kept up his strong play while recording a team-high receiving yardage total. He also tied with Tommy Tremble for the team lead in targets, and given the disastrous team outcome for Carolina, the talented wideout's numbers were respectable. The Arizona product has risen above the Panthers' offensive struggles overall to eclipse the 60-yard mark in three of his first four NFL games, and he'll look to capitalize on a favorable matchup against the shaky Dolphins defense in a Week 5 home matchup next Sunday afternoon.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Catches TD, throws INT

    Olave hauled in three of six targets for 20 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 defeat versus the Bills.

    Olave logged his first touchdown of the season with a three-yard scoring grab in the third quarter. This was the silver lining, as he posted season lows in catches, targets and yards, while the Saints had more rushing attempts (34) than passing attempts (28) for the first time this season. Olave also threw an interception on his first career passing attempt. The fifth-year wideout tried to hit quarterback Spencer Rattler on a Philly Special-style trick play in the red zone, but the Bills sniffed out the play and picked it off to end the second quarter. Olave has shown good PPR value through four weeks, averaging 6.5 catches on 10.5 targets per game, but he's yet to record over 57 receiving yards in any contest. He'll look to record double-digit targets for the fourth time this season during New Orleans' next game versus the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 5.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Breaks out in Sunday's win

    London caught eight of 10 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.

    The fourth-year wideout didn't reach 60 receiving yards or find the end zone in the first three weeks of the season, but London broke out in Week 4, highlighting his performance with a five-yard TD reception from Michael Penix in the first quarter. London led the Falcons in targets -- no one else got more than five -- as well as catches and receiving yards, and he remains the unquestioned top option in the team's passing game headed into a Week 5 bye, ahead of a tough Week 6 battle against the Bills.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Posts 79 yards against Titans

    Collins recorded four receptions on six targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Titans.

    Collins didn't dominate targets in his typical fashion Sunday, as four pass catchers logged between four and six targets. He still easily paced the Texans in yardage thanks to long gains of 37 and 22 yards to account for the majority of his production. Even with an underachieving Houston offense, Collins has found a way to be productive early this season by scoring a touchdown or topping 75 receiving yards in each of his last three games.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Two touchdowns in blowout win

    St. Brown recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

    St. Brown was the only Detroit pass catcher to post a notable line in Sunday's blowout win, accounting for seven of Jared Goff's 16 completions. He helped set up the team's first touchdown of the day with a 25-yard catch before turning in a pair of his own scores from two and eight yards away. St. Brown now has six touchdowns across four games while recording at least 70 receiving yards in each of his last three contests.
