Carter caught a seven-yard pass in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Carter had a pair of three-catch games when Keenan Allen missed time in Weeks 2 and 3. However, since Allen returned to action, Carter has one catch over the last four games. Unless other Chicago wide receivers miss time, Carter is unlikely to post useful fantasy numbers.

Samuel (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, 49ers team reporter Lindsey Pallares reports.

Samuel had been playing effectively despite battling pneumonia over the week leading up to the game, but he injured his ribs in the second half. He caught four of seven targets for 71 yards while adding four rushing attempts for 15 yards prior to the injury. That production didn't include a 66-yard touchdown catch that was nullified by a holding penalty in the second quarter.

Moore caught two passes on four targets for 27 yards in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. He also rushed twice for seven yards.

Moore struggled in a game in which Caleb Williams completed just 10 passes. However, the receiver has been held to 27 or fewer receiving yards in three of the last four games. The pass catcher has one game this season with double-digit PPR points, and Moore is on pace for one of the worst seasons of his career.

Allen recorded two receptions on seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders.

Allen led the team with seven targets -- his highest mark since Week 1 -- a particularly notable total given that Caleb Williams took to the air only 24 times. His stat line left plenty to be desired, though he did manage a key 22-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to set up a go-ahead touchdown. Despite some reasons for optimism, Allen has yet to record more than 41 receiving yards in a game this season.

Moore caught eight of 12 targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens in Week 8.

Moore established season highs in catches, targets and yards, and he wasn't the only receiver to benefit from Jameis Winston taking over at quarterback for the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles). Winston wasn't perfect -- he lost a fumble and two passes could easily have been intercepted -- but he guided the offense to its most points scored this season and made onlookers wonder what could have been had head coach Kevin Stefanski replaced Watson sooner. Moore has 14 catches on 18 targets for 122 yards the last two weeks and may have resuscitated a season that had been going nowhere after the first six games.

Odunze recorded three receptions on six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders. He added two rushes for 13 yards.

Odunze ended with a modest stat line, but his ability to command opportunity stood out. Caleb Williams attempted only 24 passes in the low-scoring affair, which led to Odunze finishing second on the team in targets -- Keenan Allen earned seven -- while leading the way in receptions and yards. The Bears also made a point to get Odunze involved in the offense with two rushing attempts, another indication that he could see an expanded role throughout the second half of the season.

Worthy finished with four receptions (on eight targets) for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders.

Worthy did not record a rushing attempt for just the second time in eight games, but he did nab his third receiving touchdown of the season. The versatile rookie continues to be a fantasy asset with five combined scores halfway through the schedule. Worthy should be busy again in a potential high-scoring affair between the Chiefs and Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 9.

Hopkins had two receptions on three targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Las Vegas.

Hopkins got eased in with his new club as expected, but he still made a mark on the box score with a pair of healthy receptions. The veteran No. 1 wideout might need a week or two to get fully integrated into head coach Andy Reid's complex scheme, but his fantasy stock undoubtedly trended upward following the move from Tennessee. Hopkins is worth rostering in all formats, with deeper-league managers likely starting the wideout against the Buccaneers next Monday.

Coleman brought in five of seven targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.

Coleman followed up his breakout performance against the Titans last week with another notable fantasy performance versus Seattle. The addition of star wideout Amari Cooper has clearly opened up the offense for Buffalo's other receiving options, with Coleman benefiting the most from the recent trade. Fantasy managers should continue starting the rookie wideout with confidence heading into next Sunday's game against Miami.

Lockett had one reception on three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to Buffalo.

Lockett got the start in place of the injured DK Metcalf (knee), but the results did not match his opportunity. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (6-69-0) wound up leading the Seahawks in receiving in a game during which the offense scored just one touchdown. Lockett will resume his role as the No. 2 or 3 receiver (pending Metcalf's availability) ahead of next Sunday's home tilt against the Rams.
