Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Titans' Tyler Boyd: Role shrinks
Boyd was not targeted in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Patriots. He recorded one rush for three yards.
Boyd was on the field for a season-low 21 offensive snaps, a 29 percent rate. As a result, he failed to record a catch for the first time this season. Boyd's usage has been a disappointment since the departure of DeAndre Hopkins, and he seems to be falling further out of favor in Tennessee.

Devaughn Vele WR | NO
Broncos' Devaughn Vele: Quiet against Ravens
Vele secured two of his three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
Vele earned three targets for the third straight game, yet he continued to struggle to make much of his opportunities. In five games, the rookie wideout is averaging 3.6 receptions and 35.2 yards per game. Vele played 29 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, tied for third amongst wide receivers with fellow rookie Troy Franklin. The 26-year-old should continue to struggle for fantasy purposes as Denver's No. 4 receiver when the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 10.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Finishes without reception
Wicks was targeted three times and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.
Wicks would have had a better day had he hauled in a pass from quarterback Jordan Love in the end zone during the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, but when it was all said and done he was shut out in the receptions department for the third time in nine games. Wicks has found pay dirt four times this season, but he has totaled just 16 catches, and all of Green Bay's receivers are healthy, so it could be worth making a roster move with the Packers on bye Week 10.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Likely dealing with hip pointer
London is believed to have sustained a right hip pointer in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
A hip pointer isn't considered a long-term injury, but if the diagnosis is confirmed when London undergoes further testing Monday, he could be at risk of missing the Falcons' Week 10 game in New Orleans next Sunday. London was forced out of the Week 9 victory in the first quarter after landing hard on his hip on a nine-yard touchdown reception.

Ja'Lynn Polk WR | NO
Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: Limited snaps in return
Polk logged nine of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Polk, who was inactive in Week 8 due to a concussion, returned to the mix Sunday but saw limited playing time and didn't catch his only target. He's behind DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne in the Patriots' wideout pecking order, making Polk an unreliable fantasy lineup option.

Kayshon Boutte WR | HOU
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Two catches Sunday
Boutte, who was on the field for 66 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans, caught two of six targets for 18 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Boutte once again led the Patriots' wideouts in snaps Sunday, but he wasn't able to parlay that into significant production. As long as the 2023 sixth-rounder sees steady playing time with Drake Maye at QB, Boutte will have a chance to make an impact. He'll still be a risky fantasy option in Week 10 against the Bears.
-
Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Gets pair of touches Sunday
Dulin did not catch either of his two target but took two rushes for 17 yards during Sunday's 21-13 loss at Minnesota.
Dulin saw very limited action on offense again in Week 9, but the Colts tried to funnel the ball to him when he was on the field and he recorded two touches in a game for the first time this season. However, as long as Josh Downs remains healthy, Dulin won't have much fantasy appeal.
-
Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Receives six targets
Washington caught three of six targets for 41 yards and returned one punt for four yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to Philadelphia.
The 2023 sixth-round pick got the start Sunday with Gabe Davis (shoulder) inactive and Christian Kirk (collarbone) on injured reserve, and Washington finished second on the team in receptions, targets and receiving yards. He should continue to see regular playing time even once Davis is healthy, though it's unclear just how involved Washington will be in the passing game.
-
Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL
Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Hauls in catch in Sunday's loss
Flournoy caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
The 2024 sixth-round pick hauled in his second career reception late in the fourth quarter with Cooper Rush under center for the Cowboys in place of Dak Prescott (hamstring). CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) also came out of Sunday's loss at less than 100 percent, and if the team's top wideout is sidelined for a Week 10 clash with the Eagles, Flournoy could be in line for career-high volume.
-
Jalen Brooks WR | ARI
Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Season-high two catches Sunday
Brooks caught two of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
The second-year wideout saw five-plus targets for the second time in the last three games but once again failed to do much with the increased volume, although his two catches were a season high. Brooks remains an afterthought in the Cowboys offense, but he could be pushed into a bigger role Week 10 against the Eagles if CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) ends up missing time.
