  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Football Team's Terry McLaurin: Paces pass catchers in win

    McLaurin brought in six of eight targets for 59 yards in Washington's 29-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He sustained a collarbone injury in the second quarter but returned to the game shortly thereafter.

    The third-year speedster's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all team highs, and his production in the first two categories also qualified as his second best of the last five contests. McLaurin's overall production is undeniably capped to an extent by Taylor Heinicke's limitations under center, but with a locked-in role that's seen him log fewer than seven targets just once all season, he remains a viable option in all formats versus a tough Panthers secondary in Week 11.

  • Jets' Jamison Crowder: Just 20 yards in Week 10 loss

    Crowder caught three of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to Buffalo.

    Crowder was far from the only Jet to struggle in this one, as New York trailed 38-3 through three quarters. The offense found more success in the fourth, but the Jets rightfully prioritized developing rookies Michael Carter and Elijah Moore, who each scored a touchdown, rather than the 28-year-old Crowder. With more than 40 receiving yards in just two of six games played this season, Crowder will be tough to trust in Week 11 against Miami, regardless of which quarterback gets the starting nod for the Jets.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Seven grabs in upset loss

    Godwin (foot) brought in seven of eight targets for 57 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-19 loss to Washington on Sunday.

    While some of his other offensive teammates looked like they still had a bit of bye-week hangover, Godwin, playing through a foot issue, checked in second on the Bucs in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The fifth-year wideout has been consistently busy of late, as he now has at least seven receptions and eight targets in four of the last five games. Godwin should be a bit healthier by the time a Week 11 home Monday night matchup against the Giants kicks off.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Jets' Corey Davis: Tops 90 yards in return

    Davis (hip) caught five of seven targets for 93 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Bills.

    A silver lining for the Jets after this blowout loss is that Davis looked fine in his return after missing the previous two games due to a hip injury. He was the only Jet to top 50 receiving yards, and Davis has eclipsed 90 in three of his first seven games with New York. The 26-year-old wide receiver has 29 catches on 49 targets for 442 yards and four touchdowns heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins.

  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Titans' A.J. Brown: Shut down by Saints

    Brown recorded one reception on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints.

    Brown failed to top five targets and multiple receptions in a full game for the first time on the campaign. His lone contribution to the victory came late in the second quarter on a trick play that began with a direct snap to Adrian Peterson that resulted in a 16-yard catch for Brown. Making Brown's performance even more surprising was the fact that Marshon Lattimore did not travel with him for much of the game, as reported by Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Brown will look to bounce back in a positive matchup in Week 11 against Houston.

  • Russell Gage WR | SF

    Falcons' Russell Gage: No receptions in blowout loss

    Gage did not record a reception on three targets in Sunday's 43-3 loss to the Cowboys.

    Gage appeared to be on pace for a solid game when he made an impressive leaping catch on a deep ball in the first quarter, but Dallas challenged the ruling and the potential big play was overturned as the ball slightly grazed the turf. The 25-year-old only saw two more targets before the Falcons mailed it in for what turned out to be a blowout loss. Olamide Zaccheaus had two receptions for 22 yards on seven targets, so Gage's inconsistent play this year may have moved him down the target pecking order in Atlanta. He will try to get back on track against a tough Patriots defense this upcoming Thursday.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Scores at long last

    Meyers caught four passes for 49 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Cleveland on Sunday.

    On his 135th NFL reception Meyers finally found the end zone, albeit from Brian Hoyer in garbage time rather than starter Mac Jones. Hopefully it's not such a long wait for touchdown No. 2 -- indeed, with Meyers' target volume, he's a good bet to find the end zone a few more times before the season is over. That's particularly true if Jones can build on his three-touchdown showing against the Browns. Meyers projects well against the Falcons on Thursday.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Leads team in receiving

    Bourne caught four passes for 98 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Cleveland on Sunday.

    Nelson Agholor (two catches for 21 yards on four targets) has played more than Bourne this year, with the latter mostly playing in three-wide formations. However, production like Sunday's might force the Patriots to reconsider how they distribute playing time among their wide receivers. Agholor has more speed to offer than Bourne, who doesn't have much himself, but the former is much less adept in traffic. The playing time split between Bourne and Agholor is worth monitoring as the Patriots face Atlanta on Thursday.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Season-high yardage total in win

    Diggs caught eight of 13 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets.

    Diggs did a significant chunk of his damage in the two-minute drill to close out the first half. With the Bills leading only 10-3, he hauled in a 47-yard deep ball before catching a 12-yard touchdown four plays later. That turned out to be the first of four consecutive Bills touchdowns, with the next three all coming on the ground in the third quarter. Diggs hasn't been able to replicate last year's phenomenal season, as he came in with just one other 100-yard receiving performance -- a 114-yard effort against Houston in Week 4. While he's proven he can beat up on the dregs of the NFL, Diggs is still searching for a signature performance against quality competition, which he'll look to deliver in Week 11 against the Colts.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Good use of limited opportunities

    Evans secured two of three targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-19 loss to Washington on Sunday.

    Evans shrugged off a season-low amount of targets to produce a serviceable fantasy day thanks to a 40-yard touchdown grab down the left sideline in the fourth quarter that gave the Buccaneers some temporary hope. The towering wideout now has just two receptions in three of the past four games, a trio of contests in which he's actually logged four or fewer targets in each one. The frequent visits to the end zone do keep Evans' fantasy value propped up during times of lean opportunity, and a Week 11 Monday night matchup against the visiting Giants lines up as his next chance to get back to a higher level of volume in the air attack.
