  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Browns' Amari Cooper: Limited to three grabs in loss

    Cooper brought in all three targets for 32 yards in the Browns' 39-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Cooper was a distant second in receiving yards to Donovan Peoples-Jones (99 yards), and he also notably saw six fewer targets than his teammate. The veteran wideout's downturn was especially drastic considering he was coming off a season-high 131-yard performance against the Bengals in Week 8 before Cleveland's bye, and he'll likely have a tough time improving his production in a Week 11 road matchup against the Bills.

  • Chiefs' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Gets into end zone Sunday

    Valdes-Scantling brought in three of four targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 27-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    The speedster didn't see a boost in targets despite the first-half departure of fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster due to a head injury, but he still delivered nicely for fantasy managers on an 18-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter, the first of his Chiefs tenure. Valdes-Scantling's receiving yardage total finished second behind that of Travis Kelce's on the afternoon, and he'll head into a Week 11 matchup against the Chargers on the road next Sunday night with a potential expanded role on tap if Smith-Schuster is forced to sit out.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Tops century mark in win

    St. Brown caught 10 of 11 targets for 119 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears.

    He also added two yards on one carry. St. Brown reached triple digits in yards for the first time since Week 2 while setting a new season high in receptions, and he appears to be back in his early-season form heading into a Week 11 clash with the Giants.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Team-high receiving yardage total

    Waddle brought in four of five targets for 66 yards in the Dolphins' 39-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Waddle's receiving yardage total was a team high on the afternoon, and he also logged the longest catch of the day for the Dolphins (29 yards). The second-year wideout's yardage total was actually his lowest since Week 5, but with 878 yards through 10 games, he'll head into a Week 11 bye with no shortage of momentum and value in all fantasy formats.

  • Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Multi-TD showing in loss

    Kirk brought in nine of 12 targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars' 27-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Kirk led the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while also recording both of the team's touchdowns. The talented offseason acquisition secured three- and 19-yard scoring grabs in the second and fourth quarter, respectively, giving him a career-high seven touchdown receptions in 10 games. Kirk now has at least seven catches in three of his past four games, affording him plenty of momentum heading into the Week 11 bye.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Almost 200 yards in signature win

    Jefferson caught 10 of 16 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.

    Jefferson capped Minnesota's first drive with a 22-yard touchdown catch, but his best was yet to come. With the Vikings facing a 4th-and-18 down 27-23 late in the fourth quarter, Jefferson made a catch-of-the-year candidate by wrestling the ball away from a defender with one hand for a 32-yard gain. Jefferson added clutch catches of 14, six, 13 and 24 yards across the remainder of the fourth quarter and overtime, in addition to drawing a key pass interference penalty on Minnesota's go-ahead drive in OT. The former LSU standout could be the non-quarterback MVP of the league at this point, leading the 8-1 Vikings with 1,060 receiving yards heading into a Week 11 home game against the Cowboys.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Breaks loose for 54-yard TD

    Slayton caught three of four targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Texans.

    After catching two passes for 41 yards in the first half, Slayton broke a tackle and raced down the sideline for a 54-yard touchdown to give New York a 14-3 third-quarter lead. The Giants went run-heavy while protecting the lead the rest of the way, but this performance is further evidence that Slayton's big-play ability has resurfaced. He has at least 58 yards in four of his past five games and a touchdown in two of the last three. Slayton's eight-touchdown performance as a rookie in 2019 suggests he could have staying power in Week 11 against the Lions and beyond in a Giants offense that lacks playmakers in the passing game.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Records fourth TD of season

    Hill secured five of six targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 39-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Hill led the Dolphins in receptions on the afternoon, but his yardage total was his second lowest of the season. However, the speedster salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a touchdown reception for the second straight week, securing a two-yard scoring grab on the left side of the end zone late in the third quarter. Hill heads into the Week 11 bye already boasting an 81-1148-4 line through 10 games.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Steelers' George Pickens: Reaches end zone against Saints

    Pickens secured three of four targets for 32 yards while rushing twice for 23 yards and a touchdown during the Steelers' 20-10 win over New Orleans on Sunday.

    Pickens was held without any touches during Pittsburgh's Week 8 loss to the Eagles, but he reached the end zone for the second time this season as the Steelers returned from the bye week Sunday. The rookie second-rounder should have more opportunities to contribute down the stretch after Chase Claypool was dealt to the Bears ahead of the trade deadline.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Leads Steelers in receiving yards

    Johnson secured four of five targets for 63 yards in the Steelers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Johnson had been held under 50 receiving yards in each of the last three games, but he was slightly more effective in Week 10 despite seeing his second-lowest number of targets this season. However, the 2019 third-rounder hasn't logged over five receptions since Week 3, and he's failed to reach the end zone over the first nine games of the year.
