Worthy recorded five receptions on eight targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Ravens. He added two rushes for 38 yards.

Worthy returned from a shoulder injury and was active for the first time since Week 1, and he quickly regained his role as Kansas City's top playmaker. He accounted for each of the team's three longest plays from scrimmage on gains ranging from 28 to 37 yards while being used in all areas of the field and on an end around. While Worthy did his damage on big plays, he also led the team in targets, indicating this level of production is sustainable as long as his shoulder holds up.

Shepard brought in two of four targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

The veteran wideout continued to operate the No. 3 receiver, as Chris Godwin's season debut was offset by Mike Evans' absence due to a hamstring injury. Shepard saw a significant downturn from his season-high 80-yard output in Week 3, but given his chemistry with Baker Mayfield, he could be more productive in a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks.

Coleman secured three of four targets for 45 yards in the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Coleman finished tied for second in receptions and targets while also serving as the runner-up in receiving yards for the Bills during a relatively low-volume day for the passing attack. The Saints did give Buffalo a more competitive game than expected, and Coleman recorded his third catch of 20-plus yards this season on his way to his best yardage tally since Week 1. The second-year wideout will take a 17-203-1 line on 22 targets into a Week 5 home matchup against the Patriots next Sunday night.

Smith brought in both his targets for 29 yards in the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Smith had the Eagles' second-longest gain through the air of the afternoon with a 20-yard reception, but his production stalled during another very quiet day for the air attack. The 2021 first-round pick has multiple receptions in every game thus far, but after clearing the 50-yard threshold in the previous two contests, Smith mustered his second-lowest yardage total of the campaign Sunday. He could be hard-pressed to improve much on his relatively modest 17-158-1 line in Week 5, as a stingy Broncos secondary pays a visit to the defending champions.

Jeudy brought in three of nine targets for 48 yards in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Joe Flacco completed under 50.0 percent of his passes on the afternoon, so Jeudy's inefficiency isn't surprising. The veteran wideout did finished second in receiving yards while pacing the Browns in targets, and Jeudy has either eight or nine targets in three of four contests this year. The 2020 first-round pick doesn't lack for upside, but Flacco's struggles -- and the fact that he would be replaced by a rookie if he were to get benched -- depress Jeudy's fantasy outlook.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
