Kupp caught one of three targets for a seven-yard touchdown Monday in a loss to the Bears.

Kupp had another low target share, but he at least made the most of his only catch by hauling in a seven-yard TD early in the fourth quarter. That score probably isn't going to be enough to inspire confidence in him in fantasy, though, given that the veteran wideout has drawn three or fewer targets in six of his eight games this season. Kupp's seven receiving yards Monday also were a season-low mark, and there simply doesn't seem to be much room for any wideout aside from Jaxon Smith-Njigba to regularly find success in Seattle's offense given Smith-Njigba's massive target share. With that said, Kupp at least will have a favorable matchup in Week 9, as he'll face an Arizona defense that has surrendered 11 receiving TDs to wideouts this season, tied for the most in the NFL.

Raymond finished Monday's 34-17 win against Seattle with two catches for 14 yards on three targets along with one rush for 39 yards.

Raymond's most memorable contribution was a 39-yard dash on a third-down play early in the fourth quarter to take the ball down to Seattle's five-yard line and set up a D'Andre Swift touchdown. Though he didn't put up massive numbers, Raymond's 53 total yards were his most since Week 3 and represented more yardage than he had recorded over his previous four games combined. Raymond remains a shaky fantasy play given his recent numbers, and a Week 9 matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that has been pretty stingy on wideouts doesn't improve his outlook.

Odunze brought in four of six targets for 87 yards in the Bears' 34-17 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.

Odunze's yardage total led the Bears on the night while finishing second in receptions and targets. The third-year wideout's catch and yardage totals both qualified as his second highest of the season, and Odunze now has 156 receiving yards over the last pair of contests for his most productive two-game stretch this season. Odunze is averaging a career-best 16.7 yards per catch and already has a career-high 14 catches of 20-plus yards heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday night.

Burden secured seven of nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 34-17 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.

Burden tied Colston Loveland for the team lead in both receptions and targets, and he was on the receiving end of Caleb Williams' one touchdown pass of the night. The second-year wideout's scoring grab came from one yard out in the first quarter and was his third of the season, and Burden now has a 19-281-2 line on 21 targets over the last three games heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday night.

Smith-Njigba brought in six of 11 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Smith-Njigba was in his usual position of leading the Seahawks across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he crossed the 100-yard mark for the seventh time in eight games this season with a pair of catches on Seattle's final drive of the night. Smith-Njigba's target total was also his sixth double-digit tally of the campaign, and the absence of Rashid Shaheed (knee) helped reinforce JSN's downfield role even further. Smith-Njigba will now head into a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday just 15 yards short of his third consecutive 1,000-yard campaign and only a touchdown shy of tying the career-high 10 he recorded over 17 regular-season games last season.

Allen caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Broncos.

The rookie wide receiver usurped Jalen Royals on the depth chart, operating as the clear WR3 behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. Allen ran 22 routes on Patrick Mahomes' 44 dropbacks, but with both Rice and Worthy healthy alongside Travis Kelce and Kenneth Walker, there doesn't appear to be much juice to squeeze for Allen.

Lane caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills.

The rookie wideout ran 21 routes on 30 dropbacks by Baltimore's three quarterbacks, but his one target represented just a 3.8 percent share. With Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) both injured, Joe Fagnano (ankle) could be in line to start Thursday night against the Jaguars. It would be a downgrade for all Ravens skill players.

Bateman caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills.

Bateman actually led the Ravens in receiving yards on a day in which three quarterbacks attempted passes for Baltimore. Since posting a 7-88-1 receiving line in Week 2 against the Saints, Bateman has totaled 12 grabs for 200 yards and no scores over his last six games. He has minimal fantasy appeal while Zay Flowers is healthy.

Hurst failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.

Even with Emeka Egbuka (foot) missing a second straight game, Hurst couldn't catch a break, as the game was played in a downpour. Tampa Bay attempted just three passes during the entire game. Hurst has now gone without a catch in back-to-back games without Egbuka in the lineup. He has minimal fantasy appeal outside of being a hold in dynasty formats.

Harris caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

After missing Week 6 with a hamstring injury, Harris was healthy coming out of the Week 7 bye but played pretty clearly behind both Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston against the Rams. Harris ran just 20 routes to McConkey's 34 and Johnston's 30. Harris would see a big boost if Johnston gets traded ahead of next week's deadline.
