Smith caught one of two targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals.

Smith played 80 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps. While that involvement helps his fantasy relevancy, Smith has managed more than one catch in only two of his nine appearances thus far, capping his value.

Wilson secured both of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Bears.

Wilson recorded a catch for the first time since Week 5 while playing 25 percent of offensive snaps Sunday, a sign of growing involvement on offense. Coach Mike McDaniel has alluded to Wilson's role potentially increasing as the season continues, so though he continues to work behind Trent Sherfield for the time being, it could be worth monitoring the 26-year-old in deep fantasy formats.

Sherfield caught all three of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Bears.

Sherfield continues to show well for Miami as the No. 3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, arguably the league's most dynamic wide receiver tandem. He recorded a key third-down conversion in the first quarter via an 18-yard catch, but while Sherfield's role has become important for the Dolphins, there are still no signs of it translating into fantasy relevance. Miami will prepare to host the Browns in Week 10.

Raymond caught three of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 15-9 win over Green Bay.

With Josh Reynolds (back), DJ Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) sidelined, Raymond again logged nearly every offensive snap alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown. While this is Raymond's lowest output since he started becoming a big part of the offense Week 4, Detroit somehow only needed to throw 26 times to win against a Green Bay defense that is stronger against the pass than the run. Raymond should have a good chance to rebound Week 10 against Chicago, especially if Reynolds remains out.

Coach Lovie Smith said Monday that he's hopeful Collins (groin) is able to practice ahead of Week 10, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

Collins has missed back-to-back games due to a groin injury, but he appears to be progressing well and could mix into drills this week. The rookie wideout likely will have to log at least one full practice to be cleared for game action, but his potential return still is an encouraging sign, even if it's in a limited fashion.

Agholor was on the field for 21 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Agholor, who wasn't targeted in the contest, was out-snapped Sunday by Jakobi Meyers (51), Kendrick Bourne (48) and Tyquan Thornton (42). With just one catch in his last four games, Agholor doesn't currently merit fantasy lineup consideration.

Thornton logged 42 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts en route to catching one of his four targets for five yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Since scoring two TDs in Week 6 against the Browns, Thornton has caught one pass in each of his last three games. The 2022 second-rounder is off the fantasy radar for now, with Jakobi Meyers being the only New England wide receiver producing consistently enough to merit weekly lineup consideration.

Bourne, who was on the field for 48 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts, caught three of his four targets for 11 yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After having recorded just one target in three consecutive games, Bourne -- who also carried once for one yard -- was more involved in the Patriots' passing game Sunday with DeVante Parker (knee) out, but it didn't amount to much fantasy production. With Parker potentially back in action following the Patriots' bye, Bourne's lineup upside remains limited ahead of the team's next contest against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Doubs was diagnosed Monday with a high right-ankle sprain and could be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Doubs used crutches and had a walking boot on his right foot after exiting Sunday's loss to Detroit due to a right ankle injury, and while further tests will reveal an exact timetable for his return, it looks like the rookie fourth-round pick could be a candidate for a stint on IR. The Packers haven't officially commented on Doubs' status, but with fellow rookie Christian Watson (head) also having left Sunday's loss to be evaluated for a concussion, Aaron Rodgers is running out of playmakers in the aerial game. It's a piece of good news that Aaron Jones (ankle) appears to have avoided a serious issue, but with Randall Cobb (ankle) not eligible to come off IR until Week 11, Green Bay's already struggling offense could face further issues Week 10 versus Dallas' stout defense. Samori Toure figures to handle more playing time as long as Doubs is sidelined, while Amari Rodgers also could see more opportunities.

Skowronek failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

The return of Van Jefferson and resurgence of Allen Robinson for the Rams clearly has had an effect on the performance of Skowronek, despite Jefferson failing to secure a single catch in either of the last two contests. Skowronek now is a distant fifth in the pecking order for targets in L.A.'s offense, and his role has shrunk considerably, with just three targets and a single catch for 10 yards during the aforementioned stretch.
