Hollins caught seven of eight targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

Hollins overcame a heel issue to suit up and ultimately lead the Raiders in catches and receiving yardage. His production came while starting wideouts Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow combined for a paltry nine yards between them. While they should be expected to rebound in Week 9 versus the Jaguars -- when tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) could potentially return as well -- Hollins at least performed well in Sunday's poor team performance.

Waddle brought in eight of nine targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 31-27 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Waddle provided the Dolphins' first two touchdowns of the day with scoring receptions of five and 29 yards in the first and second quarters, respectively. The second-year speedster checked in second to position mate Tyreek Hill across the board due to the latter's stellar 12-catch, 188-yard performance on 14 targets, but Waddle's first 100-yard effort and touchdowns since Week 2 certainly left his fantasy managers happy. Having now eclipsed the century mark in two of his last three games, Waddle heads into a Week 9 road matchup against the Bears with plenty of steam.

Hill secured 12 of 14 targets for 188 yards and rushed once for seven yards in the Dolphins' 31-27 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Hill comfortably paced the Dolphins' pass catchers across the stat sheet, leading to the speedster tying his season high in receptions and posting his second-highest yardage total of the campaign as well. Hill has arguably been even better than expected thus far in Miami, having recorded a whopping four performances with double-digit receptions and at least 160 receiving yards. Now boasting a 69-961-2 line through eight games, Hill will head into a Week 9 road matchup against the Bears with ample opportunity to exceed the 1,000-yard mark in that contest.

Adams caught one of five targets for three yards and rushed once for a loss of a yard in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

Adams was completely neutralized by New Orleans' secondary, resulting in his worst performance of the season. In fact, Adams' mere three receiving yards marked the second-lowest total of his decorated nine-year career. Following such an uncharacteristic outing, Adams at least has a good chance to rebound while facing the Jaguars in Week 9.

Olave caught five of seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Raiders.

Olave trailed only tailback Alvin Kamara in all major receiving categories. The rookie has now topped 50 yards through the air in six straight outings, showing impressive consistency despite a fluctuating Saints quarterback position. In Week 9, Olave is slated to make his first Monday night appearance, as New Orleans plays host to Baltimore.

Alexander is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins with an ankle injury.

Alexander has bounced back and forth between Detroit's active roster and practice squad this season, and he caught his first pass of the season for seven yards and returned one kickoff for 17 yards before exiting against Miami. With the rookie sidelined, expect Justin Jackson to handle the Lions' kickoff-return duties Sunday.

Brown (groin) is inactive for Sunday's Week 8 clash against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reports.

The speedy second-year wideout will join rookie Jahan Dotson (hamstring) on the sideline, which leaves Taylor Heinicke short-handed going into what is already a tough matchup against the Colts defense. In Brown's absence, Curtis Samuel, Cam Sims and even tight end Logan Thomas should all be in line for a bump in opportunity behind top target Terry McLaurin.

Powell (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

In the Rams' 24-10 win over the Panthers in Week 6, Powell hauled in four of his five targets for 27 yards and rushed three times for 13 yards, but with Van Jefferson off IR and back in the team's wideout mix Sunday, Powell's volume could take a hit in Week 8, thus making him a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Jennings (hamstring) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game at the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Jennings managed one limited session in practice during Week 8 prep, but it wasn't enough to play through his hamstring issue. The 49ers also are without top wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) on Sunday, so Brandon Aiyuk will be joined in the lineup by some combination of Ray-Ray McCloud, Danny Gray, Willie Snead and Tay Martin at the position. Jennings will use a Week 9 bye to heal up for the team's next game Sunday, Nov. 13 against the Chargers.

Hart (hamstring) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Hart was deemed doubtful heading into this contest with a lingering hamstring injury, which will sideline him for the third game in a row Sunday. The 5-foot-8 receiver caught just one pass for 15 yards on nine offensive snaps over the first five weeks of the season.
