  • Patriots' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Catches six passes Sunday

    Smith-Schuster was on the field for 23 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Commanders en route to catching six of his seven targets in the contest for 51 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    With Kendrick Bourne (knee) on IR and DeVante Parker out with a concussion Sunday, Smith-Schuster recorded season highs in catches and receiving yards, though his day ended with a with a pass bouncing off his hands and into the arms of Washington cornerback Jartavius Martin on the Patriots' final play on offense. Looking ahead, Smith-Schuster should have an opportunity to remain a key target for QB Mac Jones in Week 10 against the Colts, but with a combined receiving line of 21-140-1 on 33 targets through seven games, the veteran wide receiver is only an option in deeper fantasy formats.

  • Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: No offensive reps

    Eskridge didn't log an offensive snap in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens. He returned three kickoffs for 60 yards.

    Eskridge was the fifth wideout to suit up for the Seahawks but couldn't get into the offensive rotation. We shouldn't expect much out of Eskridge for fantasy purposes this year.

  • Jake Bobo WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Usage drops off in blowout loss

    Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens.

    Bobo finished with just nine offensive snaps while Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba all played at least 40 snaps, despite the fact that Seattle trailed early and had to abandon its run game. That's not encouraging for Bobo's future production, but he at least has a stronghold on the No. 4 wideout role, as Dee Eskridge didn't record an offensive snap Sunday.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Records season-high 49 yards

    Wicks was targeted four times and caught four passes for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-3 victory over the Rams.

    Wicks drew four targets for the second time in as many games, and the 49 yards he put up were the most he has accrued in his rookie season. Despite the recent activity he remains Green Bay's No. 4 option at the wideout spot when everyone is healthy. However, he could bump up a notch against a below-average Steelers pass defense in Week 10 if Christian Watson (upper body) is unable to go.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Used as runner in win

    Hutchinson was not targeted and had one carry for 12 yards in Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

    Hutchinson's 12-yard carry was Houston's longest running play, and he now has three carries for 27 yards for the season. The rookie sixth-round pick has gone six games without being targeted, but he could move up the depth chart if the rib injury that forced John Metchie's exit from Sunday's game causes him to miss time.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Limited in easy win

    Reed had three receptions for 19 yards and one carry for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-3 victory over the Rams.

    The Packers leaned heavily on the ground game in Sunday's comfortable win, which resulted in their tight ends all spending extra time on the field and Reed playing fewer than 40 percent of the snaps for the first time in his rookie season. Green Bay's next opponent, Pittsburgh, has been pretty friendly to receivers over the course of the campaign, so Reed will have a chance to bounce back in Week 10 -- particularly if fellow wideout Christian Watson is out or limited after sustaining several injuries against Los Angeles.

  • James Proche WR | TEN

    Browns' James Proche: Handles punt returns

    Proche was not targeted and returned six punts for 55 yards in Sunday's 27-0 win over Arizona.

    Proche, who was promoted to the active roster after being signed to the practice squad earlier in the week, had six snaps on offense. The Browns earlier in the week traded away their primary punt returner, Donovan Peoples-Jones, which opened up a role for Proche on special teams. However, David Bell (knee) could also compete for the top return job once he's healthy.

  • Browns' Cedric Tillman: Season-high snap count

    Tillman caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 27-0 win over Arizona in Week 9.

    The 2023 third-round pick was the main beneficiary of the Donovan Peoples-Jones trade, as well as an injury absence for David Bell (knee). Tillman played a season-high 54 snaps, bettering his previous high of 14, but much like Peoples-Jones, the usage didn't translate into much volume. Marquise Goodwin, also in the mix for more run as a deep threat for the Browns, saw only eight snaps before leaving the game in the third quarter with a concussion.

  • Giants' Parris Campbell: Sees more work on offense

    Campbell brought in both of his targets for 15 yards and compiled 110 yards on five kick returns in a Week 9 loss to Las Vegas.

    Campbell's receiving output was far from prolific, but it was a step up after he failed to receive a target while playing on just seven offensive snaps combined over New York's previous three contests. The Giants' passing game has struggled all season and is now facing the potential loss of QB Daniel Jones (knee), so there's a possibility that the coaching staff could look to put the ball in the hands of the speedy Campbell more often in order to try to generate a spark. With either rookie UDFA Tommy DeVito or career backup Matt Barkley under center, however, the upside of all the team's receiving options will be even more limited than they have been.

  • Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG

    Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Posts another quiet effort

    Hyatt finished Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Raiders with two catches on five targets for 19 yards.

    Hyatt's five targets tied for second on the team, but those opportunities yielded limited production. The rookie speedster did at least manage to turn things around a bit after he failed to garner a target at all last week against the Jets, but Hyatt's role and performance continue to be volatile. He has failed to register a catch in four contests this season, but Hyatt also posted an 89-yard effort in Week 2 against Arizona and a 75-yard performance in Week 7 against Washington. Daniel Jones may have suffered a season-ending knee injury Sunday, leaving the Giants' already struggling passing game potentially in the hands of rookie UDFA Tommy DeVito and/or veteran backup Matt Barkley. That doesn't help Hyatt's outlook, but even with Jones under center the young wideout hasn't been able to put up the type of consistent numbers that would make him a reliable fantasy asset.
