Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
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.

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Won't return against Jaguars
Brown (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Brown was deemed questionable to return around halftime, and he has been downgraded to out for the remainder of the game. Further updates on Brown's knee injury will likely surface after the game. The Eagles have two NFC East rivalry games in the next 11 days, as they will travel to Dallas in Week 10 before hosting the Commanders on Thursday, Nov. 14 in Week 11.

Ray-Ray McCloud WR | NYG
Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Finds end zone Sunday
McCloud caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys. He added seven yards on his only carry.
It was the journeyman wideout's first TD of the season and just the second of his career. McCloud has already set a new personal best with 305 receiving yards on the year, and he's caught multiple passes in every game so far in 2024. His role in the Atlanta passing game could grow further in Week 10 if Drake London (hip) ends up being sidelined, but McCloud will still be an intriguing dart throw regardless against a reeling Saints defense.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Placed in concussion protocol
Slayton has been placed in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Slayton was evaluated for a head injury late in the fourth quarter, and the tests revealed a concussion. The veteran wide receiver will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he can resume playing. Slayton's placement in concussion protocol could affect the interest in him from other teams prior to the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

Darnell Mooney WR | NYG
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Hauls in TD in win
Mooney caught five of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.
Drake London (hip) left the game after scoring a first-quarter TD, but Mooney stepped ably into the role of top target for Kirk Cousins, leading the Falcons in receiving yards on the day and capping his performance with a 36-yard score in the second quarter. Mooney has set a new career high with five touchdowns on the season, a total he could add to in Week 10 against a reeling Saints defense.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Ejected for throwing punch
Nacua (knee) was ejected in the first half of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
After a pass intended for Nacua was intercepted, another Seattle defender came over to block Nacua as the Seahawks tried to set up a return. Nacua took exception as he had already touched the intercepting player down by contact, and the star receiver appeared to throw a punch at the player blocking him, resulting in the ejection. Prior to being ejected, Nacua had just one catch on four targets for 11 yards. A silver lining for Nacua is that he was able to play after aggravating a knee injury in practice Thursday, so he should be available in Week 10 against the Dolphins on MNF.

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Suffers knee injury Sunday
Brown left Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a knee injury.
Just before halftime, Brown was slow to get to his feet following a hit, and he didn't take the field for the second half, instead remaining in the locker room. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 9 with two catches (on four targets) for 36 yards. DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson are the current healthy wide receivers for the Eagles.

Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Snags TD in Sunday's loss
Tolbert caught three of six targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.
While he didn't generate much yardage, Tolbert salvaged his day with a four-yard TD late in the fourth quarter. The pass came from Cooper Rush and not Dak Prescott (hamstring), and with Prescott headed for an MRI on Monday, there's a real chance Rush could get the start in Week 10 against the Eagles. CeeDee Lamb was also nursing a sore shoulder late in Sunday's loss, so the Cowboys' passing game could look very different for that key divisional matchup.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Pair of touchdowns against NYG
McLaurin recorded two catches on three targets for 19 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Giants.
Jayden Daniels only attempted 22 passes, lowering the volume across Washington's skill-position players. Nevertheless, it was surprising that Noah Brown doubled McLaurin in targets and four total pass catchers outpaced him in yardage. Despite the odd box score, it's hard to complain about the end result, as both of McLaurin's receptions went for touchdowns -- his second multi-score game of the season. He's now tallied 95 or more receiving yards or scored a touchdown in seven straight games, giving him remarkably consistent production.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Hurts wrist late in Week 9 win
Coleman caught one of two targets for 21 yards and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins.
Coleman bobbled a slant in the red zone on his only target of the first half, and the ball ended up in Jalen Ramsey's hands for an interception. The rookie receiver atoned to some extent by catching a two-point conversion in the third quarter and added a 21-yard catch in the fourth. Coleman was seen holding his wrist while walking to the locker room with trainers late in the game, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, so his practice participation will bear monitoring as the Bills prepare to face the Colts in Week 10, especially since Buffalo was already without Amari Cooper (wrist) against the Dolphins.
