  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Doesn't score for first time this year

    Lockett caught five of six targets for 53 yards and zero touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cardinals.

    This was the first time this season that Lockett failed to find paydirt. On the bright side, Doug Baldwin returned from a knee injury, but Lockett didn't see a drop in targets. The fourth-year pro is still on pace for his best season yet, but he'll face a tough Rams defense Week 5.

    Lions' Marvin Jones: Makes three catches in loss to Cowboys

    Jones caught three of five passes for 56 yards during Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Cowboys.

    Jones made an excellent lunging catch for a 34-yard gain in the second quarter, but he turned his other two receptions into just 22 yards en route to another modest output. He continues to garner attention from Matthew Stafford, but Kenny Golladay's emergence on the outside has eaten into his usage rate this season. Jones is still on pace to flirt with 1,000 receiving yards over the course of a full campaign, but his productivity could suffer from time to time due to the other options around him. He'll next face the Packers on Sunday.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Cowboys' Cole Beasley: Totals 53 receiving yards amid ankle issue

    Beasley (ankle) caught four of five targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Lions.

    Beasley was hampered by an injury heading into the contest, but he tied for the team lead in targets while pacing the wideouts in catches and receiving yards. He was clearly hurting at times and required frequent trips to the sidelines in between plays. With that said, Beasley still came through with a solid performance and should be able to play next Sunday night against the Texans, barring a setback during the week.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Titans' Corey Davis: Snags first career touchdown pass

    Davis caught nine of 15 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-23 win over the Eagles.

    When the Titans drafted Davis fifth overall in the 2017 draft, they probably hoped that he'd score his first touchdown a little sooner. Still, his timing was pretty darn good -- a leaping 10-yard grab in the final seconds of overtime to cap Tennessee's comeback. The second-year receiver made multiple clutch catches during the contest, including a 51-yard bomb downfield. Sunday was the first full game for Davis and a relatively healthy Marcus Mariota under new offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur, who helped work wonders in recent seasons with the Falcons and Rams. They'll look to continue that strong start against an up-and-down Bills defense Sunday.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Jets' Robby Anderson: Held to 18 yards Week 4

    Anderson had just two catches for 18 yards on six targets in Sunday's 31-12 loss to Jacksonville.

    Anderson can be forgiven for a lack of production in this difficult matchup, but he's now been held under 30 yards in each of the past three weeks after catching a 41-yard touchdown in the opener. The speedster built up a great rapport on deep balls with Josh McCown last season, but rookie quarterback Sam Darnold has been unable to rekindle that magic, despite his success throwing deep at USC last season. As a result, Anderson will be little more than a boom-or-bust option against the Broncos in Week 5.

  • Michael Gallup WR | WAS

    Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Sets new career high in yardage

    Gallup caught two of five targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Lions.

    Gallup tied for the team high in targets as he finished with new season highs in receptions and yardage. The majority of his production came on a deep ball from Dak Prescott which he rose up to grab over a defender for a 37-yard gain in the first quarter. Gallup's improved performance coincided with a more adventurous game plan that featured more downfield passing, and he seems the likeliest of the team's wideouts to draw targets on those types of attempts. The rookie has a ways to go before he's useful for fantasy purposes, but he should enjoy his share of looks again next Sunday against the Texans.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Targeted 12 times

    Agholor caught five of 12 targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Titans.

    Though attentions were set on the return of Alshon Jeffery, it was Agholor who led the receiving corps with 12 targets. The return of Jeffery obviously reduces Agholor's value on a relatively thin receiving hierarchy, but Sunday showed that Carson Wentz will still look his way plenty. The question is, how valuable are those looks? Agholor has been targeted at least 10 times thrice this season, but has just one touchdown and a 6.7-yards-per-catch average to show for it. Maybe he can pick up the pace against a suddenly weak Minnesota pass defense Sunday.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: First touchdown in new digs

    Robinson brought in two of four targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 48-10 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Robinson got into the end zone for the first time in a Chicago uniform when he brought in a 14-yard throw from Mitchell Trubisky in the first quarter. The 25-year-old did see only four targets with both Taylor Gabriel and Tarik Cohen taking on more prominent roles Sunday, but the end-zone visit certainly helped to round out his stat line nicely. Robinson will look to keep the momentum going against the Dolphins following a Week 5 bye.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Notches six receptions in loss

    Evans brought in six of nine targets for 59 yards in the Buccaneers' 48-10 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    Evans' catch total drew even with Adam Humphries for the team lead, but given the blowout defeat, it was a rather hollow accomplishment. However, the 2014 first-round pick continues to undoubtedly please fantasy owners -- especially in PPR formats -- as he has no fewer than six receptions in any contest and has already logged a whopping 39 targets while scoring in all but Sunday's loss. With Jameis Winston having played the second half against Chicago and likely to regain his starting job following a Week 5 bye, Evans will seek to revive his traditionally strong connection with the quarterback against the Falcons in Week 6.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Bills' Zay Jones: Catches four balls in 22-0 loss

    Jones caught four of seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 22-0 loss to the Packers.

    Jones led his team in targets, though three guys came in right behind him with six. The No. 2 wide receiver in arguably the league's least threatening passing game isn't a very appealing option most weeks. Week 5 against the Titans should be no exception.
