Trey Palmer WR | NO
Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Two catches in OT loss
Palmer secured two of four targets for 33 yards and returned two punts for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City on Monday.
The second-year wideout generated modest production despite a 49 percent snap share in the absence of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (ankle), and Jalen McMillan (hamstring). Palmer did record both of his catches on a game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter, but Monday's 33 yards were a season high and he's yet to top three receptions in any contest heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers.

Mecole Hardman WR | BUF
Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Musters up 17 yards
Hardman caught all three of his targets for 17 total yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers. He also returned one punt for 30 yards.
Hardman served as the team's No. 4 wide receiver because JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was inactive. The 2019 second-round pick has produced just nine receptions for 75 yards through the last four games.

Nelson Agholor WR | BAL
Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Notches one catch in Week 9
Agholor recorded one reception on one target for 29 yards Sunday in a 41-10 rout of the Broncos.
Agholor's lone reception came in the first quarter and helped set up a Derrick Henry touchdown run. Agholor logged 33 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps in the contest, his lowest mark of the season. The veteran wideout could spend less time on the field after the Ravens acquired Diontae Johnson in a trade with the Panthers last Tuesday.

Justin Watson WR | HOU
Chiefs' Justin Watson: Reels in three passes
Watson caught three of four targets in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers.
JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was inactive, meaning Watson served as the No. 3 wide receiver and recorded a 69 percent snap share. Watson has handled a consistent role in this offense, but he has yet to post more than three receptions or 45 receiving yards in a game this season.

Trenton Irwin WR | NYJ
Bengals' Trenton Irwin: No catches in win
Irwin failed to haul in his only target in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders.
For the second straight week, Irwin played double-digit snaps on offense with Tee Higgins (quadricep) out of the lineup, but he didn't make much of a mark in the box score. Through five appearances this season, Irwin has tallied three catches for 15 yards on 10 targets.
-
Brandon Powell WR | MIN
Vikings' Brandon Powell: One catch in win
Powell caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
Powell played 19 offensive snaps in the victory, reeling in his first reception since Week 3. The wide receiver is a clear No. 4 option behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor on Minnesota's depth chart.
-
Trent Sherfield WR | BUF
Vikings' Trent Sherfield: One catch in Week 9
Sherfield caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
Sherfield played 10 offensive snaps, his highest total since Week 4 versus Green Bay, but he wasn't able to make much of an impact against Indianapolis. With Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison garnering the vast majority of looks at wide receiver, Sherfield doesn't have a major role in Minnesota's offense.
-
Mack Hollins WR | NE
Bills' Mack Hollins: Catches all five targets in Week 9
Hollins recorded five catches on five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win against Miami.
Hollins entered Week 9 without a catch in two straight contests, but he emerged with season-high marks in catches and receiving yards against the Dolphins. The veteran wideout notched his third touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard reception midway through the third quarter. Hollins needs one more TD to tie his career-high mark for a season, but his volume has been too low to make him more than a dart throw even in deep fantasy leagues.

Marquez Callaway WR | LV
Marquez Callaway: Back to practice squad
Callaway reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction long
Callaway was elevated to the active roster ahead of Monday's 30-24 loss to Kansas City, failing to log any stats while playing just two offensive snaps. With Mike Evans (hamstring) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) both unavailable, Callaway failed to capitalize on his opportunity. If either Evans or McMillan is unable to play Sunday against the 49ers, Callaway could be elevated from the practice squad again.

Justyn Ross WR | KC
Justyn Ross: Lands back on practice squad
Ross reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) unable to play Monday night against Tampa Bay, Ross received an elevation to the active roster. The latter logged just seven offensive snaps in the contest and didn't get any targets. The elevation was Ross's first of the campaign, and his chance of being elevated again in Week 10 could depend upon whether Smith-Schuster is able to return to action.
