  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Quiet in Week 9

    Coker caught two of his three targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints.

    Coker was held without a catch in the second half of Sunday's win; however, the rookie from Holy Cross still finished with the most receiving yards among Panthers wideouts. The 23-year-old's role in Carolina's offense appears likely to continue growing after Diontae Johnson was traded to the Ravens on Oct. 29, and he and the Panthers will next face the Giants in Week 10.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Key role in close win

    Legette brought in four of six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 23-22 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards.

    Legette shared the team lead in receptions with Ja'Tavion Sanders and set the pace in targets as well, and the rookie recorded two particularly critical catches. Legette tallied his fourth touchdown of his career on a three-yard grab early in the second quarter to give Carolina its first points of the day, and he also came down with a 26-yard catch over the middle on third-and-10 during the Panthers' game-winning drive. Legette has an 8-67-2 line on 13 targets over the last two games while working with Bryce Young, so he'll head into a Week 10 matchup against the Giants in Germany trending in the right direction.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Seven catches in loss

    Jeudy secured seven of 11 targets for 73 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Jeudy set the pace in receptions while sharing the lead in targets with Cedric Tillman on a difficult afternoon overall for Jameis Winston. Jeudy has now exceeded 70 receiving yards in back-to-back games for the first time as a member of the Browns and logged 25 targets over the last three contests, affording him a formidable fantasy floor heading into a Week 11 road matchup against the Saints following a Week 10 bye.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Gets into end zone late Sunday

    Tillman secured six of 11 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Jameis Winston struggled throughout the afternoon against a relentless Chargers defense that sacked him six times and picked him off on three occasions. However, Tillman still garnered enough of his attention to tie with Jerry Jeudy for the team lead in targets while setting the pace in receiving yards. The second-year wideout was also on the other end of Winston's only passing touchdown of the day, securing a difficult 17-yard grab late in the fourth quarter for his third score in the last two games. Tillman has clearly established himself as one of Winston's most trusted targets, leaving the 2023 third-round pick with a bright outlook for a Week 11 road matchup against the Saints following a Week 10 bye.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Torches Denver in Sunday's win

    Flowers caught five of six targets for 127 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-10 rout of the Broncos.

    Both scores came in the second quarter as Flowers was on the other end of seven-yard and 53-yard strikes from Lamar Jackson. The Ravens' acquisition of Diontae Johnson doesn't seem likely to threaten Flowers' spot as Jackson's top downfield option -- the second-year wideout has erupted for four 100-yard performances in the last five games, although Sunday's TDs were his first since Week 2. Flowers could be poised for big numbers again in Week 10 against a Bengals secondary he posted a 7-111-0 line against on 12 targets in their first meeting.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Five catches in win

    McConkey secured five of seven targets for 64 yards in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    McConkey set the pace in receptions and targets for the Chargers while checking in second in receiving yards to Quentin Johnston. The rookie has shown consistently improving chemistry with Justin Herbert, now having recorded at least five receptions in four of the last five contests. McConkey next takes aim at the Titans in a Week 10 home matchup.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Stellar showing in return

    Johnston secured four of five targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards.

    Johnston comfortably led the Chargers in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets to Ladd McConkey. The highlight of the speedy second-year wideout's return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury was a 66-yard touchdown grab on busted coverage by the Browns in the second quarter, Johnston's fourth score of the season. Johnston's receiving yards were also a season high, affording plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: MRI scheduled on shoulder

    Lamb is dealing with an AC joint injury in his right shoulder following Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons, and he's scheduled to get an MRI on the injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed optimism that Lamb will be able to play through the injury, as Lamb returned against Atlanta after initially hurting his shoulder. Lamb finished the game with eight catches for 47 yards on 12 targets while adding two rushing attempts for 15 yards and catching a two-point conversion. The results of Lamb's MRI will determine whether he's in danger of sitting out against the Eagles in Week 10. Dallas' quarterback situation is also uncertain, as Dak Prescott (hamstring) is scheduled to get an MRI on his injury.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Eclipses century mark in loss

    Meyers secured eight of 11 targets for 105 yards in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    The veteran wideout was the leader across the board for the Raiders' pass catchers despite middling quarterback play from both Gardner Minshew and Desmond Ridder. Meyers' reception, yardage and target totals were also all season-high figures, and he now has at least six receptions in four of the last five games. It remains to be seen what quarterback Meyers will work with in a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17 coming out of a Week 10 bye, but the sixth-year pro should remain the clear-cut leader of the wideout corps under any circumstance.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Caps big day with TD pass

    Sutton caught seven of 10 targets for 122 yards and threw a two-yard touchdown to Bo Nix in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.

    The veteran wideout produced the Broncos' only TD of the afternoon, just not in the way anyone likely expected. Sutton has erupted for back-to-back 100-yard performances, posting a combined 15-222-0 line on 21 targets, and he'll try to get back into the end zone himself for the first time since Week 6 in next Sunday's road tilt against Kansas City.
