Davis rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.

The 2024 fourth-round pick from Kentucky has logged just nine offensive snaps and received one touch over the Bills' last two games, suggesting he's now playing behind both James Cook and Ty Johnson. Davis has rushed 11 times for 29 yards through four games this season, and he'll likely play another reserve role in Buffalo's backfield in the Week 5 matchup against the Patriots.

Hollins, who logged 24 of a possible 49 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-13 win over the Panthers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target in the contest for a four-yard TD.

Hollins has scored in two of his last three games, but with an overall 7-42-2 line on nine targets through Week 4, he profiles as TD-dependent option in deeper fantasy formats as this weekend's game against the Bills approaches.

Boutte, who was on the field for 34 of a possible 49 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-13 win over the Panthers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his three targets in the contest for 18 yards.

Since opening the season with a six-catch, 103-yard effort Week 1, Boutte has just four catches (on seven targets) for 62 yards and a TD in three games since then. At that rate of production, he's a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option ahead of this coming weekend's game against the Bills.

Palmer caught two of three targets for 25 yards in the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Palmer's playing time has dwindled in recent weeks. After playing over 62 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1 against the Ravens, Palmer's workload has dipped in each game since, landing at just 25 percent against New Orleans. In a Buffalo offense that likes to cycle through its receivers and tight ends throughout the course of a game, Palmer holds minimal fantasy value unless injuries crop up ahead of him on the depth chart.

Shakir secured all five of his targets for 69 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.

Most of Shakir's production came on a 43-yard touchdown in the first quarter, as he put his YAC ability on full display and broke multiple tackles on a reception initially made behind the line of scrimmage. He played a season-low 29 offensive snaps versus New Orleans, but game script may have been a factor in his reduced workload. Shakir has scored in back-to-back weeks and is one of the top targets for Josh Allen in a Bills offense that has piled up 30-plus points in all four regular-season games so far. He'll look to keep up his momentum at home against the division-rival Patriots in Week 5 on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Nabers (knee) suffered a season-ending torn right ACL tear in Sunday's win over the Chargers, Dianna Russini of The Athletic and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.

Nabers went down while attempting to make a leaping grab on a deep pass attempt from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, and the nature of the injury was confirmed Monday via an MRI. His loss is a brutal blow to both Dart's development and New York's passing game as a whole, which now will turn to Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt as regulars in three-wide sets, as well as offer further opportunities for tight end Theo Johnson and running back Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) once he's healthy. Nabers is expected to land on IR in short order.

The Browns acquired Robinson from the Texans on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The two teams are swapping late-round picks in 2027 to facilitate the trade. Robinson signed a one-year, $12 million deal with Houston over the offseason with the expectation that he'd start at left tackle. However, rookie Aireontae Ersery beat him out for the job with the Texans, and Robinson was a healthy inactive for Week 4. In Cleveland, 2024 seventh-rounder KT Leveston started at left tackle against the Lions on Sunday and has been one of the worst pass-blocking tackles in the league this season. Robinson could take that spot right away with the Browns.

Renfrow caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Patriots.

Renforw has been held in check over the Panthers' last two contests, catching four of his six targets for just 16 yards, despite Carolina being without two of its top wideouts in Jalen Coker (quadriceps) and Xavier Legette (hamstring). Additionally, Renfrow (32 snaps) played fewer offensive snaps than Brycen Tremayne (53 snaps), suggesting he's operating as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver even with all the injuries. His role in Carolina's offense seems to have diminished, making him a risky fantasy option in a Week 5 matchup against the Dolphins.

Tremayne caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Patriots.

The Stanford product has emerged as one of the Panthers' key depth options at wide receiver with both Xavier Legette (hamstring) and Jalen Coker (quadriceps) sidelined. Over the past three games, Tremayne has caught eight of his 11 targets for 99 yards, second to only Tetairoa McMillan's 210 yards during that stretch. Tremayne is expected to continue serving as one of the Panthers' top reserve wideouts in Week 4, when the Dolphins travel to Carolina.

Evans caught three of four targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Patriots.

With Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) inactive in Sunday's loss, Evans logged a career-high 35 offensive snaps and made the most of his increased opportunities. Three of his four targets came in the first half while the game was still competitive, and he later hauled in a two-yard touchdown from Andy Dalton in the fourth quarter to give Carolina its second score of the day. The rookie out of Notre Dame has now logged five catches for 41 yards and a touchdown through his first four NFL games. He's likely to remain the Panthers' top reserve tight end until Sanders returns from injury, working behind Tommy Tremble.
