Godwin is likely to see elevated target volume again in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks due to Mike Evans (hamstring) being inactive for the contest.

Godwin made his return from his own serious injury -- a dislocated ankle suffered Week 7 of last season -- Week 4 against the Eagles, the first game of Evans' current absence. He saw 10 targets across 58 snaps right out of the gate, but he was able to haul in only three of them for 26 yards. Nevertheless, with another week of practice, not to mention his first game action in nearly a year, now under his belt, Godwin could well be more efficient while facing a Seahawks secondary that once again will play without cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) and safety Julian Love (hamstring).

Ridley (knee/elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

After logging a 54 percent snap share in the Titans' 26-0 loss to the Texans in Week 4, Ridley registered consecutive DNPs Wednesday and Thursday before working in a limited capacity Friday and then being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. Ultimately, Ridley will be able to give it a go, though if he's limited at all, or suffers any setbacks versus Arizona, Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson would see added WR opportunities alongside Elic Ayomanor. Through four games, Ridley has compiled a modest 10/141/0 receiving line on 24 targets, while Ayomanor has recorded a 12/151/2 line (on 25 targets) in that same span.

Dortch (collarbone) is active for Sunday's game versus the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Dortch operated with a cap on his practice reps during Week 5 prep due to a collarbone injury, but he'll ditch his questionable tag and suit up Sunday. WIth Zay Jones out of the concussion protocol and back in action, Dortch likely will reassume his role as the Cardinals' No. 4 WR behind Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson and Jones, which amounted to a minimal four catches (on four targets) for 12 yards in the first three contests of the season.

White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

White will be a healthy scratch for a second straight week, and his next opportunity to see the field is Week 6 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 12. Jake Bobo and Dareke Young will provide depth at wide receiver while White is sidelined.

Addison secured five of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns in London on Sunday.

Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reported Addison was subject to a first-quarter benching for undisclosed reasons, but the third-year wideout ultimately would make up for lost time in clutch fashion. Addison was efficient with his opportunities, and the bulk of those came at the tail end of the Vikings' game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Addison was on the receiving end of each of Carson Wentz's final three completions and totaled 21 yards on those catches, the last which was a go-ahead 12-yard touchdown grab. For his part, Addison conceded afterward that he wasn't sure if he'd even be able to play in the game, per Seifert, but he made good on his vow to be ready if he did step on the field. Following the completion of his season-opening three-game suspension, Addison has immediately played a key part in Minnesota's air attack with a 9-155-1 line on 14 targets over his first two contests. He'll now prepare to play his first 2025 game stateside following the Week 6 bye when the Vikings host the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 19 in a contest that could also provide Addison his first regular-season opportunity to work with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) as his quarterback.

Jeudy recorded two catches on five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Vikings.

There was some optimism for Jeudy's outlook with the Browns making a quarterback switch to Dillon Gabriel, but Jeudy instead posted his lowest yardage total in a game this season. Even worse was that he was out-targeted by both David Njoku and Isaiah Bond on an offense that isn't likely to sustain many fantasy-viable pass catchers. This was a tough spot for the Cleveland offense due to travel overseas and a stiff defensive matchup, so Jeudy could be in for a better showing in Week 6 against Pittsburgh.

Jefferson brought in seven of 11 targets for 123 yards in the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns in London on Sunday.

Jefferson paced the Vikings in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the day, turning in his second consecutive 100-yard effort in the process. His final reception of the contest was especially critical, as he came down with a 21-yard grab to take the ball to the Browns' 27 yard-line with under two minutes remaining on Minnesota's game-winning drive. Jefferson has displayed excellent chemistry with fill-in signal-caller Carson Wentz over the last pair of contests, but J.J. McCarthy (ankle) may be set to return to action when the Vikings come out of a Week 6 bye to host the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Dulin could see increased snaps in Sunday's game against the Raiders as the Colts' No. 3 receiver behind Michael Pittman and Josh Downs, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Alec Pierce (concussion) is set to miss his second straight game, once again leaving a void in the Indianapolis receiver corps. While Pierce was sidelined for last Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Rams, Adonai Mitchell stepped in as the Colts' No. 3 wideout and played 89 percent of snaps while finishing with three catches for 96 yards on four targets. However, after dropping the football prior to passing the goal line to wipe out a would-be 76-yard touchdown and then committing a holding penalty to negate a 53-yard Jonathan Taylor touchdown run later in the game, Mitchell is active for Week 5 but is expected to see his role on offense get downsized following his pair of major gaffes. The door is thus open for Dulin to see more reps at receiver, though the 28-year-old may serve as a more of a sacrificial downfield threat rather than someone who will command meaningful target volume. Over 74 career games in six seasons, Dulin has turned in a meager 36-528-4 receiving line on 61 targets.

Gipson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Gipson was claimed off waivers following Week 3, but he'll be a healthy scratch for a second straight game with his new team. His next chance to make his Eagles debut will come Thursday against the Giants in New York. Philadelphia's only active wideouts for Sunday's game are A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson and John Metchie.

Walker (oblique) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Walker was limited Thursday and then turned in a full practice Friday, before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, Walker will be among QB Cooper Rush's Week 5 receiving options, but with fellow WRs Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace also on hand, Walker (who has a 3/60/2 receiving line through four games, with both scores occurring in Week 2) is a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option.
