Cooks caught nine of 10 targets for 173 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.

The veteran speedster not only had his best game as a Cowboy so far, he topped his prior season high in receiving yards by 124. Cooks led the team in yards, although CeeDee Lamb bested him in catches (11) and targets (14), and he's now scored a TD in three of the last four games as the Dallas passing game has roared to life. Cooks will look to keep rolling Week 11 against the Panthers.

Lamb caught 11 of 14 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 win over the Giants. He also ran in a 14-yard TD on his only carry.

The fourth-year wideout didn't even lead the Cowboys in receiving yards on the day -- that honor belonged to Brandin Cooks in a breakout 173-yard performance -- but Lamb's own huge effort put him in the NFL record books, as he became the first player in league history with three straight games of at least 10 catches and 150 yards. Lamb actually has four straight 100-yard games dating back to Week 6, and he sits just 25 receiving yards shy of his third straight 1,000-yard campaign heading into a Week 11 clash with the Panthers.

Powell recorded four catches on five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints.

Powell was pushed up the depth chart with both Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and K.J. Osborn (concussion) sidelined. He finished third on the team in targets, though T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Addison combined to hog 22 opportunities on Joshua Dobbs' 34 pass attempts. Powell's modest role is likely to disappear Week 11 against Denver with the potential for both Jefferson and Osborn to retake the field.

Lockett (hamstring) had eight receptions on 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.

Lockett powered through his lingering hamstring injury to post one of his better receiving lines of the season Sunday. The veteran's eight receptions and 10 targets both matched his previous highs in each category this season, as his usage did not decrease despite playing at less than 100 percent in recent weeks. Lockett's 46-494-4 receiving line through nine starts should be enough to earn a spot in most lineups when the Seahawks visit the Rams next Sunday.

Young is dealing with an abdominal issue following Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Young missed the start of the year due to a groin injury that he sustained in training camp and wasn't targeted in his season debut Sunday. He's also dealing with another injury following the victory, and it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Metcalf (hip) had seven receptions on 12 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 29-26 win over Washington.

Geno Smith looked Metcalf's way early and often after the teammates connected just once (albeit for 50 yards) in last week's blowout loss to Blatimore. Metcalf was not limited by the minor hip injury that held him out of Thursday's practice, receiving his full share of snaps while leading the team in targets and receiving yards Sunday. With his health back in order, the speedy wideout will look to build on a solid 35/552/2 receiving line against the Rams next Sunday. Metcalf recorded three receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown when the two teams met back in Week 1.

Addison recorded four receptions on seven targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints.

The entirety of Addison's production came in the first half, as the Vikings jumped out to a 24-3 lead and were conservative in the final two quarters. While he was overshadowed by T.J. Hockenson, Addison earned at least seven targets and topped 50 yards for the fourth consecutive game. He's retained volume in two games without Kirk Cousins (Achilles), but the impending return of Justin Jefferson (hamstring) will change the dynamic of the offense.

Ridley caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

Christian Kirk led the Jaguars with 104 receiving yards, while nobody else on the team reached 30 receiving yards in the blowout loss. Ridley has failed to find consistency in his first season with Jacksonville, as he's exceeded 80 yards three times but recorded no more than 40 yards in any of the team's other six games. Ridley will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Titans.

Guyton corralled four of his six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the 41-38 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Despite missing over a year due to a torn ACL, Guyton has essentially slotted right into his previous role, playing over 60 percent of the snaps for the second consecutive week. It's hard to imagine the speedster regularly seeing a half-dozen targets even with Mike Williams (knee) done for the season, but he could still have utility in deeper fantasy leagues depending on the matchup. Expect the Chargers to produce plenty of offense against a disappointing Packers defense in Week 11.

Johnston caught all four of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Lions.

It took 10 weeks, but Johnston finally scored his first NFL touchdown thanks to a nifty designed red-zone play early in the fourth quarter. The rookie's counting stats Sunday are hardly worth applauding, but Johnston did draw two long pass interference calls, and on the first, the 22-year-old arguably should have still brought in the ball and galloped untouched for a lengthy score. While fantasy managers have to acknowledge it's a relatively low bar, this was easily Johnston's best game to date and represents a bit of hope for the weeks to come. Expect the Chargers to utilize Johnston heavily next week against the porous Packers defense.
