Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Coach optimistic about oblique
Adams suffered an oblique injury during Sunday's 42-26 win over the 49ers, but he would probably have returned if the score was closer, coach Sean McVay said after the game, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adams' status will bear monitoring ahead of Week 11 against the Seahawks, but McVay sounded optimistic regarding Adams' injury after the game. Prior to exiting in the fourth quarter, Adams caught six of eight targets for 77 yards and scored his ninth touchdown of the season.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Leading receiver in blowout win
Smith-Njigba corralled five of six targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 rout of the Cardinals.
Smith-Njigba got off to a hot start Sunday when he peeled the top off of Arizona's defense for a 43-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive. JSN was checked for a concussion in the first half, but he returned promptly without issue for the remainder of the contest. The explosive play would end up accounting for most of Smith-Njigba's final fantasy score -- even with the Seahawks dropping 44 points -- after Seattle's defense and rushing attack accounted for the remaining four touchdowns. The breakout superstar became the first player to reach 1,000 yards in receiving this season, and he sits just 89 yards shy of the career best 1,130 yards he posted in 2024. Smith-Njigba will attempt to accomplish the personal achievement in a pivotal NFC West matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

Xavier Legette WR | CAR
Panthers' Xavier Legette: Blanked in Week 10
Legette was targeted just once and didn't record a reception in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.
The second-year wideout from South Carolina went without a catch for the first time this season in the Week 10 loss. He was overshadowed by Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, who led Carolina's wide receivers with 60 and 21 yards, respectively. Since Legette's breakout performance in the Week 7 win over the Jets (9-92-1), he's caught just three of seven targets for 39 yards over the past three games. With the Panthers' passing attack continuing to struggle, Legette likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

Jalen Coker WR | CAR
Panthers' Jalen Coker: Logs 21 yards Sunday
Coker caught three of four targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.
The second-year pro from Holy Cross turned in a solid performance Sunday, especially considering quarterback Bryce Young finished with just 124 passing yards. Coker logged the third-most receiving yards on the Panthers in Week 10, trailing Tetairoa McMillan (60 yards) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (32 yards). The 24-year-old has now played in four games since returning from a quadriceps injury, catching seven of 11 targets for 66 yards. He's expected to remain Carolina's No. 3 wideout and carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

Jayden Higgins WR | HOU
Texans' Jayden Higgins: Hauls in TD in comeback win
Higgins caught five of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.
The rookie wideout bounced back from a one-target showing in Week 10, catching his second TD in the last three games on a 12-yard toss from Davis Mills and setting a new season high in receptions. Higgins still doesn't have a consistent role in the Houston passing game, but he's caught at least four passes in three of the last five games, posting a 14-112-2 line on 23 targets during that span. Higgins will look to deliver two straight strong performances for the first time in a Week 11 trip to Tennessee.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith WR | LAC
Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Won't play against Pittsburgh
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
A hamstring issue limited Lambert-Smith's practice participation Thursday and Friday, and the injury is severe enough for the rookie fifth-rounder to miss Sunday night's home game. Derius Davis will step into a more prominent role as a returner on kickoffs and punts due in Lambert-Smith's absence.

Simi Fehoko WR | ARI
Cardinals' Simi Fehoko: Done for day
Fehoko (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.
Fehoko suffered a wrist injury in the second half, ultimately bringing his day to a premature end. The wide receiver didn't log any offensive stats before his departure.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Suffers back injury in Week 10
Adams suffered a back injury during Sunday's game at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Adams pulled up while running a route early in the fourth quarter and now is questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, he'll finish Week 10 action with six catches (on eight targets) for 77 yards and one touchdown, extending his TD streak to three straight contests in the process. The Rams will roll with Puka Nacua, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith at wide receiver in the short term.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Tops century mark in win
Collins caught seven of 15 targets for 136 yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.
The fifth-year wideout remained the Texans' top downfield option even with Davis Mills under center instead of C.J. Stroud (concussion), and Collins set a new season high in targets and receiving yards in Sunday's comeback win. It's only the second time this season in eight games that he's topped the century mark -- both against the Jags -- and Collins will take a 40-550-3 line on 72 targets into a Week 11 clash with the Titans.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Patriots' Mack Hollins: Season-high yardage total in win
Hollins secured six of 10 targets for 106 yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
With Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined Sunday, Hollins was one of multiple receivers to help fill the former's typical downfield role. Hollins' main contribution in that regard came on a 54-yard grab just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. Hollins finished with season-high figures in both his yardage and target totals, and he led the Patriots in all three receiving categories. Hollins will remain one of several capable complementary options available to Drake Maye in a Week 11 home matchup against the Jets on Thursday night.
