DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Finds end zone in win
Metcalf caught five of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.
While his longest catch went for only nine yards, Metcalf salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a four-yard TD grab in the second quarter. It's the sixth time in nine games he's caught at least five passes, and the fourth-year wideout will look to stretch the field a little more in a Week 10 clash with the Buccaneers in Germany.

Equanimeous St. Brown WR | SF
Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Blanked in defeat
St. Brown failed to catch either of his two targets in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
St. Brown had been targeted 10 times over Chicago's previous two games, but with Chase Claypool having been added to the team, St. Brown played a minor role in the offense. Even before Claypool arrived, St. Brown had been held to fewer than 10 yards in three of his last five games. His uncertain role in the offense going forward will make him tough to count on when setting fantasy lineups.

N'Keal Harry TE | SEA
Bears' N'Keal Harry: Quiet in losing effort
Harry caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Harry has been targeted one or two times in each of his three games on Chicago's active roster, but with Chase Claypool immediately taking on a volume role after being acquired heading into this game, Harry may struggle to see an increase in targets going forward.

Dante Pettis WR | BUF
Bears' Dante Pettis: Targeted once in defeat
Pettis caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
After being targeted 13 times over Chicago's last three games, the team acquired Chase Claypool, and Pettis was barely involved in the offense against Miami. Even when Pettis was seeing targets, he had been held to fewer than three yards in five of eight games. It'll be difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups as long as he's outside the Bears' top-two receivers in a low-volume passing attack.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Targeted six times in win
Meyers recorded five receptions on six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts.
The Patriots didn't need to get aggressive on offense in order to win, and that was reflected in Meyers' stat line. He managed at least five receptions for the fourth time in seven games on the campaign but still came away with his second-lowest yardage total in that same span. The Patriots will head into their bye and may return to another slow-paced game dominated by defense in Week 11 against the Jets.

Chase Claypool WR | BUF
Bears' Chase Claypool: Six targets in Chicago debut
Claypool caught two passes for 13 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
After Chicago acquired Claypool earlier in the week, he tied for second in targets on the team with Cole Kmet. Aside from Darnell Mooney and Claypool, no other Bears receiver was targeted more than twice. It seems apparent that the team has every intention of making its new player an integral part of the offense. However, Chicago still has a low-volume passing attack, which may keep Claypool from having many upside games, though his usage this week provides encouragement that he could have a reasonable scoring floor.

Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Manages only 44 yards
Boyd recorded five receptions on six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers.
As expected, Boyd served as the second receiver for the Bengals due to the ongoing absence of Ja'Marr Chase (hip). While his overall volume was limited due to Joe Mixon's five-touchdown performance and the blowout nature of the game, Boyd narrowly missed out on a bigger day when he was ruled down at the half-yard line on a reception early in the second quarter. Boyd has recorded only eight receptions for 82 yards in the two games since Chase has been out.
-
DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' DJ Moore: Disappears in blowout loss
Moore recorded two receptions on six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals.
After a couple of encouraging performances with PJ Walker under center, Moore was quiet in Carolina's blowout loss. He didn't manage a reception until the third quarter with Baker Mayfield under center and was overshadowed by Terrace Marshall in garbage time. Moore has proven his talent when given a reasonable opportunity this season, but the state of the Panthers' offense makes him difficult to trust on a weekly basis.
-
Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Vikings' Adam Thielen: Three grabs in win
Thielen secured three of seven targets for 67 yards in the Vikings' 20-17 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Thielen checked in third in receiving yards on the afternoon for Minnesota, putting up a higher tally than usual thanks in large part to a 36-yard grab. However, the veteran wideout apparently has some serious competition for targets moving forward in the form of newly acquired T.J. Hockenson, who drew nine looks in his team debut. Thielen will aim to build on his second straight 67-yard effort when he faces a tough Bills defense in a Week 10 road interconference showdown.
-
Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Eight catches in Week 9 win
Wilson caught eight of nine targets for 92 yards and added a seven-yard run in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.
No other Jet had more than 16 receiving yards, as Wilson monopolized opportunities in the passing game with his ability to get open and shiftiness after the catch. He made a rookie mistake when the ball came out of his hands as Wilson turned to run after pump faking on a trick play, but Wilson was able to dive on top of it and avoid disaster on a drive that culminated in James Robinson's go-ahead touchdown. Wilson has 207 receiving yards over the past two weeks, but he may cede some targets to Corey Davis (knee) after New York's Week 10 bye.
