Ben Skowronek WR | PIT
Rams' Ben Skowronek: Seven targets Sunday
Skowronek caught two of seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Skowronek was on the field for nearly every play on offense for the Rams, and he was peppered with seven targets from John Wolford. One of those targets bounced off of the hybrid wide receiver/fullback's hands, however, and was intercepted by Budda Baker in the fourth quarter to essentially end any hope of a comeback for the Rams. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) looking like he may miss some time, Skowronek will be looked upon as one of the top receiving options for the Rams, along with Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson, heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Saints.

Allen Robinson WR | DET
Rams' Allen Robinson: Four catches Sunday
Robinson caught four of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Robinson's role in the offense seemingly has regulated itself after some rough patches to start the year, as Robinson's yardage totals and targets both were around his season-long averages. For the first time all season, the veteran wideout didn't have a target in the red zone, but that may have been more indicative of the offense as a whole than Robinson being shut out of his normal role as a red-zone threat. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) potentially out for some time, Robinson likely would be thrust into the leading receiver role for the Rams, one that has been generous to Kupp (75-812-6) through nine games this season.

Samori Toure WR | PHI
Packers' Samori Toure: Reduced role in Week 10
Toure played 12 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-28 overtime victory over the Cowboys but was not targeted.
Toure had a bit of momentum heading into Week 10, but that came to a halt, as he did not see a pass in his direction and played eight fewer snaps than Sammy Watkins -- who finished a distant third in the snap count department behind Allen Lazard and Christian Watson. Toure will remain in the mix as long as fellow wideouts Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Randall Cobb (ankle) are sidelined, but given how Watson (4-107-3 on eight targets) fared in Week 10, Toure's stock may have plateaued.

Amari Rodgers WR | IND
Packers' Amari Rodgers: Loses work in Week 10
Rodgers played six snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-28 overtime victory over the Cowboys but was not targeted. He also returned two punts for 13 yards and lost a fumble.
Rodgers averaged 20.3 snaps over Weeks 6-9, but he was fazed out Week 10 with four of his fellow receivers soaking up nearly all the snaps played by Packers wideouts. Rodgers also lost snaps on special teams, as he was pulled in favor of Keisean Nixon after losing a fumble for the second time this season. Rodgers was selected in the third round of the 2021 Draft, and the Packers have given him chances to contribute. However, he hasn't capitalized and could be running out of opportunities to do so.

Brandon Powell WR | MIN
Rams' Brandon Powell: Sparse usage in defeat
Powell rushed once for seven yards and failed to secure his only target in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals. He also returned three punts for 30 yards and two kickoffs for 32 yards.
Powell's usage was nearly a carbon copy of last week's game against the Buccaneers, with a single target and five offensive snaps. Powell also opened the contest with a seven-yard rush on the fourth play of the game but would fail to accrue another yard outside of his punt- and kick-return duties from there. Cooper Kupp (ankle) may miss some time, however, and Powell's role could grow back into what it was in Week 6 against the Panthers, when he recorded four receptions for 27 yards and three rushing attempts for 13 yards across 24 snaps from scrimmage.

Michael Bandy WR | DEN
Chargers' Michael Bandy: Kept in check
Bandy did not catch his lone target in the 22-16 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
With Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (foot) out once again, Bandy wound up playing 49 offensive snaps (84 percent); however, the short-yardage specialist was completely kept in check. Despite the extended playing time of late, the undrafted rookie hasn't been able to attract much in the way of targets.
-
Noah Brown WR | LV
Cowboys' Noah Brown: Just one catch in OT loss
Brown caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Packers.
After missing the Cowboys' last game before their Week 9 bye due to a foot injury, Brown saw his usual snap share in his return to action. His role as a receiver continues to dwindle, however. After catching exactly five passes in three straight games to begin the season while Michael Gallup was out, Brown has just 11 receptions on 21 targets for 129 yards in five contests since Week 4. Barring an injury to Gallup or CeeDee Lamb, Brown's target volume isn't likely to increase significantly Week 11 against the Vikings.

DeVante Parker WR | PHI
Patriots' DeVante Parker: Back at practice
Parker (knee) has returned to practice, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Parker sat out New England's Week 9 win over the Colts, but a well-timed bye Week 10 seemingly has helped him recover. Whether the veteran wide receiver will be available Sunday against the Jets likely will come down to his level of participation in practice as the week unfolds.
-
Cedrick Wilson Jr. WR | DET
Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Held to one catch
Wilson secured his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 39-17 win over the Browns.
Wilson was again overshadowed by Trent Sherfield, who turned in a 5-63-1 line versus Cleveland and has clearly established himself as the Dolphins' No. 3 wideout. On the bright side, Wilson's played his highest percentage of offensive snaps (30) since Week 2. Still, the 26-year-old remains definitively off the fantasy radar heading into Miami's bye week.

Trent Sherfield WR | BUF
Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Productive in win over Browns
Sherfield secured four of five targets for 63 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 39-17 win over the Browns.
Sherfield's highlight of the day was a 14-yard, toe-tapping touchdown catch via a perfectly placed pass from Tua Tagovailoa in the second quarter, his first score of the season. Though Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle account for the vast majority of Miami's passing production, Sherfield has emerged as a more than competent No. 3 complementary man, and he turned in his best performance of the season Week 10. Sherfield has played more than 50 percent of offensive snaps in eight straight games, and it's possible that he could continue to see more regular looks after the Dolphins return from a bye. In deeper fantasy formats, the 26-year-old warrants monitoring, as he should be available on the vast majority of waiver wires when Miami takes on Houston in Week 12.
