Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
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.

Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS
Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Impressive all-purpose effort
McCaffrey caught two of three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown and added 199 yards on six kickoff returns in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.
The second-year wideout found the end zone for a second straight week, snagging a five-yard TD from Marcus Mariota in the second quarter to get the Commanders on the board. McCaffrey has seen only six targets over the last two weeks, but he's turned them into a 5-77-2 line, and he's becoming a special-teams weapon with the new kickoff rules. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) likely to remain on the shelf and Noah Brown (groin) having missed the last two games, McCaffrey could find his role in the offense increasing in Week 5 against the Chargers, especially if Jayden Daniels (knee) returns to elevate the entire passing game.

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Finds end zone in Atlanta
Samuel caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown and added nine rushing yards on three carries in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.
With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) inactive, Samuel was the top option for Marcus Mariota and hauled in a 24-yard TD in the fourth quarter as the Commanders tried to mount a late rally. McLaurin seems unlikely to make a quick return, but the Washington passing game could get a significant boost in Week 5 if Jayden Daniels (knee) is cleared to play. Samuel will take a 22-204-2 line on 27 targets into next week's clash with the Chargers.

DeAndre Carter WR | CLE
Browns' DeAndre Carter: Dealing with knee injury
Head coach Kevin Stefanski relayed that Carter suffered a knee injury during the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Carter will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, and his practice participation will provide clarity on his status heading into the Browns' Week 5 clash against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 5 in London. Carter turned five kickoff returns into 129 yards in Sunday's loss, and his absence would open the door for undrafted rookie Isaiah Bond to take over return duties.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: MRI to determine fate
Nabers is slated for an MRI on his right knee Monday to determine if he indeed suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
In the process of attempting to haul in a deep pass from rookie QB Jaxson Dart in the second quarter, Nabers grabbed at his right knee and remained on the turf for a spell before being carted off the field. The Giants ruled out Nabers after halftime, and Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported not long afterward that the wide receiver was believed to have suffered an ACL tear. If the diagnosis is confirmed, Nabers will finish his second pro campaign with an 18-271-2 line on 35 targets in three contests.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Ruled out of Week 4 action
Mooney (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Commanders, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
At the time he departed early in the third quarter, Mooney had just one catch (on one target) for 16 yards. Behind No. 1 WR Drake London, Ray-Ray McCloud, Casey Washington, David Sills and Jamal Agnew are the Falcons' options at the position also active Week 4.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Torn ACL feared
Nabers is believed to have suffered a torn ACL Sunday against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Nabers has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest, with testing on his knee no doubt slated to occur. If the injury is as serious as feared, it would be a massive blow to the Giants' offense.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Ruled out of Sunday's game
Coach Brian Daboll said Nabers (knee) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
While attempting to make a leaping catch down the sideline in the second quarter, Nabers clutched at his knee and stayed on the turf before being carted to the locker room. The nature of the injury hasn't been revealed, but he'll finish Week 4 with two catches (on three targets) for 20 yards.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Hurts hamstring in Week 4
Mooney injured his hamstring during Sunday's game versus the Commanders, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Prior to his exit just after halftime, Mooney had hauled in his only target for 16 yards. For as long as Mooney is sidelined, Ray-Ray McCloud, Casey Washington, David Sills and Jamal Agnew will be the healthy and available wide receivers for the Falcons that aren't named Drake London.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | PIT
49ers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Not playing Week 4
Valdes-Scantling (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Valdes-Scantling saw the field in each of the 49ers' first three games of the season. However, the veteran wide receiver will be in street clothes for Sunday's contest due to the return of Demarcus Robinson from suspension. Valdes-Scantling's next chance to play will be Thursday against the Rams.
