  • Texans' Brandin Cooks: Four catches in return

    Cooks recorded four receptions on seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Giants. He added one carry for five yards.

    Cooks returned from a one-game absence and finished second on the team in targets, receptions and yards. Most of his catches were non-consequential, though he did chip in a 25-yard gain early in the fourth quarter to get the Texans into the red zone. Two plays later, he caught a 19-yard touchdown, but the play was nullified by a holding penalty. Cooks has now failed to top 50 receiving yards in four of his eight games on the season.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Limited impact in Week 10 win

    Robinson caught both of his targets for 20 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Texans.

    Robinson won't enjoy watching the tape from his rushing attempt, as he tried to reverse field rather than settling for a minimal loss and wound up running into a negative play. The rookie's seeing consistent usage in the slot but has only four catches for 35 yards over the past two games after setting career highs with six catches and 50 yards against the Jaguars in Week 7. A visit from the struggling Lions defense should raise Robinson's Week 11 ceiling, but his volume floor remains low in the run-first Giants offense.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Overshadowed by Jefferson

    Thielen caught five of seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over Buffalo.

    Thielen finished fourth on the team in targets behind Justin Jefferson (16), K.J. Osborn (11) and T.J. Hockenson (10). Jefferson dominated to the tune of 193 yards and one touchdown, but no other Viking reached 50 yards or found the end zone. Thielen's nose for the end zone has been key to his fantasy success in recent years -- he totaled 24 touchdowns over the previous two campaigns -- but he's scored only twice in 2022. Ending a touchdown drought that dates back to Week 6 won't be easy in Week 11 against the tough Dallas defense.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Step back against Pittsburgh

    Olave recorded three receptions on five targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.

    For the first time since Week 4, Olave faced legitimate target competition due to the return of Jarvis Landry (groin). As a result, Olave earned his fewest targets since Week 1, also turning in his lowest yardage total of the campaign. Olave should have the potential to regain volume moving forward, but the poor state of the Saints offense limits his potential to produce consistently.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Leaves Sunday's game

    Kupp (ankle) went to the locker room early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Kupp incurred a low hit from Arizona cornerback Marco Wilson and was seen holding his right leg after the play. After receiving medical attention, he was hobbled going to the sideline, where he was looked at by team trainers before limping to the locker room. Officially doubtful to return, Kupp likely will finish Week 10 action with three catches for minus-1 yard on five targets.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Matches season-high 11 targets

    Sutton recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Tennessee.

    Jerry Jeudy (ankle) exited the game on Denver's first offensive play, which opened up the path for Sutton to dominate targets. He largely did so, matching his season-high in targets while nearly doubling everyone else in the offense. His efficiency was less inspiring, as he averaged only six yards per target, and his longest catch of the day went for 17 yards. Sutton entered the game having recorded 50 total yards combined across his last three contests, so this performance was a step forward. However, with only one touchdown and one 100-yard effort, his season has been a disappointment to this point.

  • Zay Jones WR | HOU

    Jaguars' Zay Jones: Busy day in loss

    Jones brought in eight of 10 targets for 68 yards in the Jaguars' 27-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Jones checked in second across the board to Christian Kirk in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Jaguars. The veteran possession receiver has been a trusted target of Trevor Lawrence's all season, now having logged double-digit looks on three occasions and at least eight in five games overall. Jones' fantasy value is capped somewhat by his short-area role, but he'll continue to offer plenty of PPR value in a Week 12 home matchup against the Ravens following the Week 11 bye.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Produces with more opportunity

    Toney brought in four of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for 33 yards in the Chiefs' 27-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 11 yards.

    Playing in his second game with the Chiefs, Toney enjoyed a significant boost in involvement that was partly the result of JuJu Smith-Schuster's early exit due to a head injury. Toney scored his first career touchdown on a tip-toeing reception down the right sideline from six yards out to open the scoring. The second-year wideout's increase in involvement is encouraging under any circumstance and could lead to even more production than it did Sunday if Smith-Schuster is forced to miss the Week 11 Sunday night road showdown against the Chargers.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: Four catches Sunday

    Mooney caught all four of his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Lions.

    The four targets represented Mooney's lowest volume since Week 2, but the third-year wideout did what he could with them. Cole Kmet has emerged as Justin Fields' favorite option in recent weeks, leading the Bears with seven targets Sunday and catching five TDs over the last three games, but no other Chicago player saw more than two targets. Mooney remains the top WR in a low-volume passing attack heading into a Week 11 clash with the Falcons.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Makes 12 catches in Week 10

    Diggs caught 12 of 16 targets for 128 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    While Diggs' longest catch went for only 25 yards, he consistently got open on short and intermediate routes to help the Bills march down the field. Buffalo led 27-10 in the third quarter before momentum swung Minnesota's way, but Diggs still crossed the 100-yard threshold for the sixth time in nine games. It wouldn't be surprising to see a similar performance from Josh Allen's favorite target at home against Cleveland in Week 11.
