Kirk recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders.

Kirk maintained a heavy role in the Jaguars' offense and led the team in targets, receptions and yards. He worked primarily in the short areas of the field, though he did manage to tally a 23-yard reception. Kirk also hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season on a seven-yard reception early in the third quarter. While he hasn't managed to maintain his blistering start to the campaign, Kirk has at least 70 receiving yards in five of nine games.

Mooney secured seven of eight targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards.

Mooney led the Bears in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording his first touchdown of the season on a nifty 16-yard catch with 1:53 remaining in the first half. The third-year speedster's production continues to unsurprisingly run parallel to Justin Fields' improved efficiency and accuracy, as he now has at least five receptions in three of his last four games. Mooney will aim for another trip to the end zone in a favorable Week 10 home divisional battle against the Lions.

Davis caught two of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets.

Davis was kept in check by the stingy Jets secondary. His big-play ability coupled with Josh Allen's arm strength give Davis an immense ceiling, but his floor is far lower than that of Stefon Diggs, who led the team in targets (10), catches (five) and receiving yards (93). Davis and the Bills will host the Vikings in Week 10.

Higgins recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers.

Higgins had a relatively strong performance in the sense that he commanded eight targets on Joe Burrow's 28 pass attempts, and he also led the team in targets, receptions and yards. However, Joe Mixon accounted for five of Cincinnati's touchdowns on the day, leaving Higgins without the chance to reach the end zone. In addition, Cincinnati had a 35-0 lead at halftime, limiting passing volume in the final two quarters. While neither stat line is necessarily an indication of Higgins' quality of play, he has managed only 10 receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown combined across two games without Ja'Marr Chase (hip).

Diggs caught five of 10 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets.

Diggs immediately introduced himself to rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner by running by him for a 42-yard gain on Buffalo's first offensive play. He spent most of the game matched up on D.J. Reed on the opposite side, though, and Reed did a decent job defending Diggs, highlighted by a key pass breakup with the game tied 17-17 in the fourth quarter. Diggs came seven yards short of extending his triple-digit receiving yardage streak to four games, but he'll remain a set-and-forget option at wide receiver against the Vikings in Week 10.

McLaurin brought in five of nine targets for 56 yards in the Commanders' 20-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

McLaurin led the Commanders in receptions and targets while checking in second in yardage to Curtis Samuel. The Commanders' top target now has at least five catches in three straight games, a favorable streak he'll aim to extend against the tough Eagles defense in a Week 10 road matchup Monday night, Nov. 14.

St. Brown hauled in four of nine targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 15-9 win over the Packers.

St. Brown didn't post gaudy totals, but he did pace the Lions in every notable receiving category outside of touchdowns. After a red-hot start to the season, the 23-year-old has seen his production taper as defenses key in on Detroit's top wide receiver. St. Brown remains Jared Goff's favorite target with a 9.8 target average in the five games the duo has started and finished this season. The heavy volume and and a favorable matchup keeps St. Brown in must-start territory against the Bears next Sunday.

Samuel brought in three of four targets for 65 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 16 yards in the Commanders' 20-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Samuel was effective in his usual versatile role, leading the Commanders in receiving yards largely on the strength of a 49-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter. Samuel's receiving yardage total was his highest since Week 2 and second best of the season overall, and he's now recorded at least 50 receiving yards in three straight contests. The talented veteran will likely play an integral role once again during a tough Week 10 Monday night road matchup Nov. 14 against the Eagles.

Carter (illness) caught five of six targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

Carter finished with exactly half the receiving yardage total of Joshua Palmer but still ranked second on the team as the Chargers played without Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle). He also retained his usual role as the return man on special teams, totaling 29 yards on three punt returns and 18 yards on one kickoff return. Carter's expanded role in Los Angeles' Justin Herbert-led passing game is intriguing, but even if the team's top two wide receivers remain sidelined in Week 10, getting open won't be easy against the stingy San Francisco secondary.

Toure pulled in two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions.

Starting wideout Romeo Doubs (ankle) was carted off the field in the first half, so Toure saw his role elevated for the second week in a row. The seventh-round rookie was unable to reproduce last week's trip to the end zone, but he has now seen four targets in consecutive games. If Dobbs -- who was seen on crutches after the game -- is forced to miss next week's tilt against the Cowboys, Toure could generate enough targets for those in deeper formats or as a flier in DFS tournaments.
