Dontayvion Wicks Falls Flat in Favorable Spot
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks recorded three catches and 18 yards on five targets in the team's 24-20 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Philly's offense struggled on Sunday, totaling 172 yards. It's no surprise, really, considering they were down four starters before the game began. Still, the attack couldn't get anything going after halftime, and no Eagles pass catcher recorded more than three receptions or 33 yards. Wicks' target share has been favorable -- acting as the second option at worst behind teammate DeVonta Smith (hamstring). Moreover, he'll get plenty of opportunities while Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) are shelved. However, with quarterback Jalen Hurts' erratic play, it's challenging to project Wicks for a reliable weekly floor. He'll get a dream matchup in a porous Jaguars pass defense next weekend in London.

Puka Nacua Roasts Eagles' D in Return From Injury
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught nine passes for 125 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old led all Rams pass catchers in Week 4 in yards, but running back Kyren Williams out-targeted him (13) and out-caught him (10). While it would have been nice to see him score in this one, it's encouraging that he wasn't limited by a groin/hip injury that kept him out of the prior two contests. Moreover, Nacua's return slid teammate Davante Adams back into a tertiary role in the offense, maintaining the former's ludicrous ceiling. Barring any setbacks, the former fifth-round pick of the 2023 NFL Draft will get another smash spot in Week 5 when LA takes on a susceptible Buffalo Bills defense. Nacua will be a high-end WR1.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Scores Touchdown On Lone Catch In Week 4 Loss
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. caught one of his four targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 4 loss to the New York Giants. He was once again a ghostly presence -- or lack of a presence -- on a struggling team that fell to 1-3 on the season. His one catch was on an end zone fade route in which he made a nice over-the-shoulder grab, but it wasn't nearly enough for fantasy managers. 8.2 PPR fantasy points is hardly earth-shattering. Harrison is less of a part of the game script for his team as he was last year. The new coaching staff has repeatedly downplayed concerns about getting him the ball, and the results have been ugly. The matchup doesn't seem to matter, as it's been tight end Trey McBride and wide receiver Michael Wilson who have led the team's pass-catching room. Harrison is a drop candidate in many leagues, and there aren't many in which fantasy managers would benefit from sticking him in starting lineups moving forward unless something big changes with his usage. He remains a WR4 who shouldn't be started until he carves out a bigger slice of his team's target pie. A good chance for a bounce-back is coming in Week 5, though, as the Cardinals will face the Detroit Lions, who have one of the weakest pass defenses in the NFL.

Darius Cooper Benefits From Increased Role
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Darius Cooper caught three of seven passes for 33 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Philadelphia's offense entered Week 4 riddled with injuries, forcing Cooper into a more than 41% snap share for the first time in his career. In fact, the former undrafted free agent fell just a snap behind teammate Dontayvion Wicks (56) for the team lead. His yardage and receptions matched career highs, while his target total set a new high-water mark. It was decent production in a game in which quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for a paltry 93 yards. If fellow wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) misses another week, then fantasy managers can turn to Cooper as a nice DFS play. However, the latter is expected to slide back into a depth role once Smith returns. Philadelphia will line up for a date with Jacksonville in London next Sunday.
