Jalen Nailor WR | LV
Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Three targets in win
Nailor had one reception for 11 yards on three targets in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Nailor played on 42 of the offense's 84 snaps as he works as the No. 3 receiver. However, he may not get many targets with T.J. Hockenson returning and back to full speed.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Two grabs in Week 10
Humphrey secured two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Humphrey played a solid 59 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, but Denver's No. 3 receiver was unable to get much going against Kansas City. The 26-year-old has failed to record more than 50 receiving yards in all but one game so far this season, making him an extremely unreliable option for fantasy purposes. Humphrey should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

JuJu Smith-Schuster WR | NYG
Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Close to practicing again
Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is close to returning to practice, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Smith-Schuster has missed three consecutive games due to the hamstring injury that he suffered Sunday, Oct. 20 at San Francisco. Considering an IR stint would have required at least four games out of commission, perhaps Reid and the Chiefs anticipate Smith-Schuster returning to action Sunday in Buffalo, but ultimately getting back on the field this week will be the first step in that endeavor.

Devaughn Vele WR | NO
Broncos' Devaughn Vele: Hits pay dirt against Chiefs
Vele caught all four of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
After a quiet performance in Week 9, Vele had a nice bounce-back performance against Kansas City while scoring his first career touchdown. The rookie wideout's 35 offensive snaps were the most he's played in six games thus far, so it's possible the developing chemistry between him and quarterback Bo Nix could continue to lead to more playing time for Utah product. Vele will look to build off his solid performance when the Broncos host the Falcons in Week 11.

Allen Robinson WR | DET
Lions' Allen Robinson: Four offensive snaps in win
Robinson failed to garner a target in Sunday night's 26-23 victory over Houston.
Robinson played just four offensive snaps, operating as an extreme depth option at wide receiver once again in Week 10. He had seen a slight uptick in usage over the past two weeks, but with Jameson Williams returning from a two-game suspension, Robinson reverted back to the bench versus the Texans. Over five games with the Lions in 2024, the veteran wideout has caught one of three targets for two yards.

Tim Patrick WR | NYJ
Lions' Tim Patrick: No targets in Week 10
Patrick failed to garner a target in Sunday night's 26-23 win over the Texans.
Patrick saw his workload go down in Week 10, as he played only 48 percent of the team's offensive snaps after seeing more than 70 percent in back-to-back games. The return of Jameson Williams from a two-game suspension dropped Patrick back into a depth role at wide receiver, although he posted just a 2-12-0 line on three targets in the two games Williams missed. Sunday marked the first time in eight games this season that Patrick failed to see a target.

Mike Williams WR | LAC
Steelers' Mike Williams: Reaches end zone in team debut
Williams secured his lone target for a 32-yard touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.
Williams was on the field for just nine offensive snaps during his first game in a Steelers uniform, but he made his presence felt by securing a go-ahead touchdown with 2:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was the first time he'd reached the end zone this season, after being shut out in nine games for the Jets, and his volume with the Steelers figures to grow as he gets more familiar with the playbook.

Van Jefferson WR | WAS
Steelers' Van Jefferson: No catches in narrow win
Jefferson failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 28-27 win over Washington.
Jefferson had a season-best performance in the Steelers' final game before their Week 9 bye, securing four of five targets for 62 yards. Although he was on the field for 71 percent of the team's offensive snaps against the Commanders, the 2020 second-rounder was held without a catch for the third time this season. Jefferson hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this year, and his role seems likely to diminish as Mike Williams gets up to speed on the playbook.
-
Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Three grabs against Philly
Tolbert caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
The wideout's first game of the year without Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center didn't go smoothly. Tolbert got a few short receptions from Cooper Rush, but when Trey Lance took over the offense late, the duo failed to connect on a deep pass that went for an interception. In fact, Tolbert never even turned around to see if the ball was coming his way. Prescott could be headed for season-ending surgery, and no matter who his replacement at QB is, Tolbert's ceiling figures to be a lot lower heading into a Week 11 clash with the Texans.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: No targets in Week 10
Washington played 23 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.
The 22-year-old worked as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout with Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) returning from injuries, and Washington didn't end up being involved in the passing attack. He caught six passes for 87 yards across the previous two games, but the Jaguars' offense doesn't have much upside with Mac Jones under center instead of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).
