  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Leads team with 10 targets on SNF

    Johnston had five receptions on 10 targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    Johnston paced the Chargers in targets on Sunday Night Football, finishing with his second game recording double-digit targets this season. The large volume didn't result in a notable fantasy score this time around, as it was Ladd McConkey (4-107-1) who cashed in Justin Herbert's lone touchdown pass of the evening. Johnston is still on pace for a career year with a 37-502-6 receiving line through nine appearances. The 23-year-old will look to enter Los Angeles' Week 12 bye on a high note with a strong showing against the Jaguars next Sunday.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Steelers' DK Metcalf: Remains quiet

    Metcalf recorded three receptions on seven targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Metcalf saw a decent amount of opportunity with seven targets, the fourth time he's hit that mark this season. His longest gain went for 19 yards late in the first quarter, which came shortly after he narrowly missed out on a long touchdown. Regardless, Metcalf has only 41 total yards across his last two games while recording five receptions on 11 targets.

  • Saints' Devaughn Vele: Catches one pass Week 10

    Vele had one reception (on three targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 17-7 win against Carolina.

    Vele was expected to see more playing time after the Saints traded away their WR2 Rashid Shaheed on Tuesday, but the second-year wideout didn't see a corresponding uptick in targets. Four of New Orleans' pass-catchers logged three targets, including running backs Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal along with tight end Foster Moreau. WR1 Chris Olave and TE1 Juwan Johnson led the team with eight and four targets, respectively. If New Orleans' offense continues to lean into their running backs and tight ends, then Vele doesn't figure to see much increase in production after this Shaheed trade. His next opportunity to play will be after the Saints' Week 11 bye week when they face Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 23.

  • Keenan Allen WR | LAC

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Sets franchise reception record

    Allen had two receptions on five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    It was another low-volume game from Allen following last week's two-catch performance, finishing with five or fewer targets for the third straight contest. The 19 receiving yards also marked a new single-game low in what has been a productive return to the club that drafted the veteran wideout back in 2013. The longtime Charger set a franchise record by surpassing Antonio Gates as the all-time leader in receptions with his 956th catch in 12 years with the club. Allen will attempt to ramp his production back up in a soft matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Goes off for 107 yards plus score

    McConkey had four receptions on six targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers.

    McConkey paced the Chargers with a season-high 107 yards receiving and his fourth touchdown reception on the year. The stellar sophomore nearly ripped off a second score when he scampered down the sidelines for a game-high 58-yard reception before being tracked down by Jalen Ramsey in the red zone. After a bit of a slow start to the campaign, McConkey has caught fire midseason en route to a 51-631-4 receiving line through 10 starts. Expect the elite slot receiver to remain a featured cog on offense against the Jaguars next Sunday.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Gains 74 yards in blowout win

    Kupp (hamstring) finished with two receptions on as many targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals.

    Kupp showed no ill effects from the hamstring injury that had his status for Sunday in question, as he scampered for 67 yards on one of his two catches. The veteran receiver is averaging just two targets over the Seahawks' last three contests, putting a hard cap on his fantasy value despite recording solid production on low usage. The addition of WR Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline could eventually cut into Kupp's role further as the season progresses. That said, Kupp's hot play of late combined with the potential to produce against his former club keeps him in the fantasy conversation against the Rams next Sunday.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Poor showing on 11 targets

    Addison recorded three receptions on 11 targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.

    Addison earned double-digit targets for the second time this season, though he struggled to get on the same page with J.J. McCarthy. Addison has now been held under 50 receiving yards in four of six games this season, including both with McCarthy. He's likely to be a boom-or-bust receiver moving forward, with Week 11 presenting an exploitable matchup against the Bears.

  • Jimmy Horn Jr. WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jimmy Horn: No touches in Week 10

    Horn was not targeted and didn't log a carry in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.

    The Panthers attempted an end-around to Horn late in the third quarter, but a miscommunication between him and Bryce Young led to a fumble that was credited to the quarterback. Horn, a 2025 sixth-round pick from Colorado, had received at least two touches in every game since the Week 5 win over Miami. He's appeared in seven games, catching six of 10 targets for 66 yards and rushing seven times for 44 yards. Horn will likely remain a depth option in Carolina's offense in the Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

  • 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Best line since Week 2

    Jennings corralled six of nine targets for 71 yards and a touchdown while losing a fumble in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    Jennings was stripped on a first-quarter reception for his first lost fumble of the season. Aside from the hiccup, the veteran starter went on to produce his best receiving line since an impressive showing back in Week 2 (5-89-1). Jennings has been heating up in recent weeks, scoring in consecutive appearances while recording at least four receptions in four straight. Ricky Pearsall (knee) keeps racking up missed games while Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still seems a ways away, so Jennings could continue operating as the 49ers' top receiver against the Cardinals next Sunday.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | LV

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Career-best performance

    Nailor recorded five receptions on six targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.

    Nailor made nearly all of his impact early and late in the game. He beat Marlon Humphrey deep down the field on the sixth play from scrimmage and then managed to turn upfield for a 62-yard gain that came just short of a touchdown. Nailor then came up big during Minnesota's rally late in the game, as he hauled in another deep pass for a 28-yard gain before making an impressive, acrobatic 10-yard touchdown catch four plays later. This marked the first time that Nailor has reached 100 receiving yards in his career and also matched his career high of five receptions.
