The Chiefs reached out to Hill's (knee) agent Sunday, Mike Silver of The Athletic reports.

Kansas City lost Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Tyquan Thornton (ankle) to injuries in Sunday's win over the Raiders, depleting the team's wideout depth. Thornton suffered a long-term injury, while the severity of Rice's hamstring issue is uncertain. Provided he's back somewhere close to his normal self, Hill would be a logical replacement for deep-threat Thornton.

Fields caught two of three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-24 win over the Cardinals.

Fields has emerged as the Giants' clear WR3 in terms of routes, as he ran 22 routes to Malik Nabers' 30 and Darnell Mooney's 26 against Arizona. On the season, Fields has out-targeted Mooney 15 to 10. Fields caught a 12-yard score from Jameis Winston on Sunday and now has eight catches for 126 yards and the one score through four contests to begin his rookie season.

Samuel caught five of six targets for 26 yards and a touchdown while also adding 44 yards on three carries and 49 kickoff-return yards during Sunday's 24-14 win over the Broncos.

Samuel was able to reach the end zone for the second straight week, reeling in a one-yard touchdown from quarterback Brock Purdy in the third quarter. The wide receiver went without a target in Week 3, but he has now registered at least four targets in each of the team's other three contests. Samuel has now caught 14 of 17 targets for 185 yards and three touchdowns while also adding seven rushes for 74 yards and 231 yards as a kick returner over four games in 2026.

Williams caught two of three targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.

The lowly Jets ran a total of 32 offensive plays to Chicago's 89 in this one, and Geno Smith attempted just 15 passes, as the Bears dominated the time of possession. Williams got loose for a meaningless 58-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. On the season, he has 10 catches for 135 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. If Adonai Mitchell (finger) is back, Williams won't carry much fantasy appeal into next Sunday's game against the Browns.

Cooper caught three of seven targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams.

With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dallas Goedert (knee) out versus Los Angeles, Cooper actually led the Eagles in targets and receiving yards while securing both of Jalen Hurts' touchdowns. Each score was of the red-zone variety. Despite carrying a 20-10 lead into halftime, Philly was unable to do anything on the scoreboard after the break. Cooper is unlikely to have much fantasy appeal moving forward if Smith is able to return next Sunday against Jacksonville.

Washington caught all five of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings.

The third-year wideout led the Dolphins in catches, yards and targets, but he didn't have much competition as Malik Willis attempted only 17 passes in total. Washington is still looking for his first TD of 2026, but he's become Willis' top downfield option, posting a 17-219-0 line on 28 targets through four games. Washington will try to build on this effort in a Week 5 home clash with the Bengals.

Worthy caught four of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

Worthy finished second on the team in targets and receiving yards behind Tyquan Thornton, who caught five of eight targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns prior to suffering an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Rashee Rice (hamstring) exited the game in the first quarter, so Worthy is the top healthy wide receiver for Kansas City, though Rice will have a chance to heal during the Week 5 bye before the Chargers come to town in Week 6.

Waddle secured five of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Waddle recorded his first touchdown as a member of the Broncos at a critical juncture, as his 13-yard scoring grab with just over four minutes remaining helped Denver get to within three points at the time. Waddle also finished second in receptions and tied for runner-up status in targets as well, and he's now seen a total of 23 passes from Bo Nix come his way in the last three contests. The Broncos' air attack and Waddle's chemistry with Nix remains a work in progress, but the veteran receiver takes a solid 16-185-1 line on 26 targets into a Week 5 divisional road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Moore (shoulder) is dealing with an injury that isn't considered long-term, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Moore exited Sunday's loss to the Patriots after aggravating a previous shoulder injury. He isn't expected to miss significant time, though it remains to be seen if Moore will play against the Rams in Week 5. The 29-year-old wide receiver has suited up for 92 consecutive regular-season games dating back to the 2020 season.

Evans brought in five of eight targets for 76 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Despite playing through a rib injury, Evans tied for the team lead in receptions while also setting the pace in receiving yards and targets for the 49ers on the afternoon. The veteran wideout's totals in the latter pair of categories were also new season highs, and having presumably made it through the game without setbacks, Evans has a bright fantasy outlook overall heading into a tough Week 5 road showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.
