  • 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.

  • 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 | NYG

    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.
