Trent Taylor with five catches in Week 4

Trent Taylor was targeted 10 times and made five receptions for 47 yards in the 49ers 18-15 loss to Arizona on Sunday.

Fantasy Implications: The 10 targets for Taylor in Week 4 surpassed the total of nine he saw in the first three weeks of the season. The rookie from Louisiana Tech played exclusively from the slot even when wideout Marquise Goodwin was forced to exit the game early because of a concussion, and fared surprisingly well against All-Pro nickel back Tyrann Matthieu. Taylor, who is known for his good hands and crisp route running ability, makes for a possible flyer for PPR owners in Week 5 when he goes against a leaky Colts defense next Sunday.

Aldrick Robinson leads team in yardage and targets in Week 4

Aldrick Robinson hauled in three passes on 12 targets for 52 yards in the 49ers' 18-15 loss to Arizona on Sunday.

Fantasy Implications: Robinson essentially took over Marquise Goodwin's outside receiver spot when Goodwin was forced to leave the game early with a concussion.  Although he led the team in targets and receiving yardage, Robinson was only able to corral three passes due to a couple of drops and Brian Hoyer's inaccuracy. The 12 targets were double those the 29-year-old speedster saw during the first three weeks of the season. Goodwin is in concussion protocol and is currently considered questionable for Week 5. If he is unable to play, Robinson may be of fantasy value against a porous Colts defense that is yielding 283.5 yards per game.
