Waddle secured one of two targets for 11 yards during Miami's 16-10 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Waddle and Tyreek Hill combined for just two catches and 19 yards on four targets. Coming off a bye, the Dolphins' offense turned in yet another miserable performance despite facing off against a vulnerable Colts secondary, with the mid-game departure of Tyler Huntley (shoulder) only compounding the issues for Miami's passing game. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be eligible to return from IR as early as Week 8 against the Cardinals, but it's unclear when Miami anticipates the franchise quarterback retaking the field. If one of Huntley, Tim Boyle or Skylar Thompson (ribs) is again under center versus Arizona, it will be difficult to trust any of the Dolphins' pass catchers for fantasy purposes.

Charles didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.

Charles made a valiant effort on his first target of the season, nearly getting both knees down on a low catch in the back of the end zone, but it looked like he couldn't quite maintain control on his way to the ground. His spot on the roster is safe thanks to Charles' contributions as the gunner on special teams, but Charles has been targeted on offense only twice in 19 NFL games.

Gispon had two kickoff returns for 51 yards and two punt returns for four yards but wasn't targeted on offense in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.

Gipson was on the field for only one play on offense, as he remains a non-factor in a receiving corps that now includes Davante Adams. The return man dropped the ball twice on punt returns, but both fumbles went out of bounds. Gipson's a dangerous return man, but he'll need to get the ball-security issues under control lest his special-teams role shrinks as well.

Williams caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.

The former Charger dipped to No. 4 on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart after Tuesday's acquisition of Davante Adams, and Williams was on the field for just one third of the team's snaps on offense. To his credit, he kept his focus after being scapegoated for Aaron Rodgers' game-sealing interception in a Week 6 loss to the Bills, and Williams' lone catch against the Steelers was a fourth-down conversion while the game was still within reach. Williams is a candidate to be dealt before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

Iosivas was held without a catch on one target despite playing 37 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Browns.

Iosivas wasn't able to gain much separation on his routes, but he also was dragged down by the Bengals' offensive struggles in the first half, and their decision to run the ball nearly exclusively late in the game after they took a two-score lead. Iosivas remains firmly behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the passing-game pecking order, but he continues to work ahead of rookie Jermaine Burton, who hasn't seen a target since Week 2.

Hutchinson caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

Hutchinson continued a run of elevated snap counts, as both Nico Collins (hamstring) and Robert Woods (foot) were inactive. Hutchinson, who was on the field for 41 snaps Sunday, has averaged 41 snaps over the past three weeks. The increased playing time hasn't elevated him to fantasy relevance, however. He has three catches on six targets for 42 yards in those three games.

Boyd recorded five receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.

Boyd was a relative bright spot in the Tennessee offense, as he led the team in receptions and finished second in yardage. Nevertheless, his longest gain went for just 12 yards, and Boyd has still yet to reach 50 receiving yards in a game on the campaign.

Hopkins recorded one reception on one target for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.

Per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, Hopkins played 39 offensive snaps -- a 58 percent clip -- tied for his highest total of the season. However, that didn't lead to improved production, as Hopkins was limited to one target for the second time for the campaign. Mason Rudolph didn't improve Tennessee's offensive efficiency, making Hopkins' potential to produce in the future unclear, as he has managed to top 50 receiving yards only twice in six contests.

Ridley recorded three receptions on nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.

Ridley voiced frustration following a Week 6 loss during which he failed to record a reception on eight targets. He remained highly inefficient in Sunday's loss, though he did manage his highest yardage since Week 2. Even with strong opportunity on a weekly basis, Ridley will be unreliable until the Titans' offense shows some signs of improvement.

Cowing caught two of three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.

Cowing saw his usage increase after the 49ers lost both starting wideouts early in the contest. The 2024 fourth-round pick used that opportunity to not only record his first catch as a professional, but he also tied teammate George Kittle for the longest reception of the game (41 yards). Cowing could continue to get work as the team's third or fourth receiver -- depending on the health status of multiple wideouts this week -- when the 49ers host the Cowboys next Sunday.
