Chase caught four of eight targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Bills.

Chase took a back seat to Tee Higgins (8-110-0), who finished as the Bengals' leading receiver Sunday. The usual No. 1 option also ceded a pair of touchdowns in the red zone to tight ends Drew Sample and Irv Smith Jr., resulting in a down performance by the wideout's lofty standards. Chase was coming off of a massive three-game stretch in which he produced 31 receptions, 372 yards and four touchdowns for fantasy owners, which helps soften the blow of Sunday's underwhelming line. In positive news, Joe Burrow continues to excel as his health returns, putting Chase in a prime position to bounce back against the Texans next Sunday.

Diggs brought in six of seven targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 24-18 loss to the Bengals on Sunday night. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

Diggs led the team in receiving yards and also gave the Bills a glimmer of hope with a 17-yard touchdown grab with 3:32 remaining and subsequent two-point conversion catch. The perennial Pro Bowler has a solid 21-214-2 line on 31 targets in the three contests since his four-game streak of 100-yard efforts was snapped, and he'll draw a potentially favorable matchup against the Broncos in a Week 10 Monday night home battle on Nov. 13.

Beckham recorded five receptions on seven targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-3 win over Seattle.

Beckham was targeted seven times in the game, matching his season high. As has been the case, he worked primarily in short areas of the field, as his longest catch went for only 15 yards. The Ravens were seemingly hunting for a touchdown for Beckham, as he scored the final touchdown of the game -- which was delivered by Tyler Huntley rather than Lamar Jackson -- for his first score of the season. Before Sunday's performance, Beckham had failed to 50 receiving yards in a game.

Powell recorded two catches on three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Falcons.

Powell made little impact on the game until 22 seconds remained, when he found the end zone from six yards away to score what proved to be the game-winning touchdown. Making the moment even more impressive was that he was battling through cramps at the time, according to Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Despite the clutch score, Powell's overall involvement in the offense remains limited, as he's failed to top 45 yards in four of five games with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) sidelined. However, he could have a larger role in Week 10 if Justin Jefferson isn't activated from injured reserve and K.J. Osborn (concussion) isn't able to play.

Smith-Njigba recorded six receptions on seven targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 37-3 loss to Baltimore.

The majority of Smith-Njigba's production came with the game out of reach, though he now has at least 60 receiving yards in two of his last three contests to go along with two scores. The highlight of his performance Sunday came on a 35-yard catch deep down the right sideline on the first play of the fourth quarter. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf will almost certainly be the top pass catchers in the Seattle offense moving forward, but Smith-Njigba is showing signs of a breakout with his recent performances.

Robinson (knee) had four receptions on five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Raiders.

Robinson overcame the knee injury that limited him in practice this week in order to suit up and become the beneficiary of a garbage-time touchdown from replacement starter Tommy DeVito. They all count the same on the stat sheet, resulting in the second-year wideout's first touchdown in seven active games this season. Robinson's 27-198-1 line is nearly identical to what he produced over six games in his injury-shortened rookie campaign last year, with neither pace creating any sort of buzz in fantasy circles. The Giants' uncertain quarterback situation following Daniel Jones' (knee) injury only magnifies the risk that comes with starting Robinson in a road matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

Smith caught all three of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys.

The wideout saw a season-low target volume against a tough Dallas secondary, but Smith was still able to make an impact, hauling in a 29-yard TD strike from Jalen Hurts on Philly's first possession of the second half to give the team a lead it didn't relinquish. Heading into the Eagles' bye, Smith is on pace to top 1,000 receiving yards for the second time in his career and has four touchdowns in nine games, but he'll face another stingy group of defenders in a Week 11 Super Bowl rematch against Kansas City.

Brown caught seven of nine targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys.

While Brown scored his fourth TD in the last three games on a four-yard toss from Jalen Hurts late in the third quarter, the wideout's production still felt a little disappointing after he'd set an NFL record by topping 125 receiving yards in six straight contests. Brown heads into the Eagles' bye on pace for nearly 1,900 yards on the season, keeping him within striking distance of Calvin Johnson's all-time record of 1,964, but he'll face a tough matchup on the other side of the break in a Week 11 Super Bowl rematch with Kansas City.

Tolbert caught three of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.

The second-year wideout hauled in his first career TD in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys tried to rally from a 28-17 deficit, getting free in the end zone for a seven-yard strike as Dak Prescott escaped the pocket and bought some time. Tolbert hadn't caught a single pass in the three prior games, so his role in the offense is far from consistent, but he appears to be earning some trust from his QB. In addition, veterans Michael Gallup and Brandin Cooks, the two receivers immediately ahead of him on the depth chart, haven't exactly been reliable themselves. Tolbert will look to build on Sunday's performance in Week 10 against the Giants.

Slayton hauled in four of seven targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-6 loss to Las Vegas.

Slayton finished as the Giants' leading receiver and the only position player other than star tailback Saquon Barkley to crack 50 yards Sunday. A good portion of that production came while playing with Tommy DeVito, who took over at QB for starter Daniel Jones after the latter left with a potential major knee injury on the first play of the second quarter. The UDFA quarterback wound up targeting Slayton five times after taking over, more than any other receiver over the three quarters of action DeVito was active for. That said, Slayton remains a risky fantasy play while New York attempts to address its dire QB situation against Dallas next Sunday.
