Washington hauled in one of three receptions for 42 yards while recording two carries for 13 yards in Monday's 29-27 win over Chicago.

Washington was limited to just 13 receiving yards across the last two games, but his 42-yard reception in the third quarter Monday was the Steelers' longest play of the game. Although the 25-year-old has been inconsistent this season, he'll likely see increased work if Chase Claypool (undisclosed) is forced to miss additional time.

Sutton caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over Dallas.

On a day when the Broncos offense had surprising success against the Cowboys, Sutton was unable to get anything going. The wideout's two targets were the second-lowest of any Broncos pass catcher. On the other hand, teammate Jerry Jeudy saw a team-high eight targets in the contest. One would expect the target share to even out as the season progresses, but Jeudy's return means that Sutton may have games where he is less involved than fantasy managers would hope for. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back when the Broncos host the Eagles in Week 10.

Goodwin caught a 50-yard pass in the Bears' 29-27 loss to the Steelers on Monday.

Although Goodwin tied a season high with four targets, his only reception came when he used his blazing speed to get open down the right sideline for an easy grab. He's now seen 11 targets while averaging 33 yards over his last three games, and his fantasy value is beginning to rise going into the Bears' Week 10 bye.

Mooney caught three of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 29-27 loss to the Steelers. He also rushed once for a 15-yard score.

Mooney helped fuel Chicago's comeback effort, taking a wildcat handoff into the end zone to begin the fourth quarter before skillfully securing a 16-yard touchdown catch along the sideline to put the Bears ahead with under two minutes remaining. Although his pair of late scores still didn't result in a victory, Mooney at least enjoyed one of his best performances of the campaign, sending him into the Bears' bye week with the only multi-touchdown outing of his career.

Robinson caught four of six targets for 68 yards in Monday night's 29-27 loss to the Steelers.

Robinson had just three yards in the first half, but he came alive when it mattered most in the second. Chicago's top wideout went for 39 yards on a critical third-and-two play with two minutes remaining, setting up a go-ahead touchdown the next play. In doing so, Robinson actually accumulated his highest yardage total in any game this season, sending him into the Bears' bye week with some positive momentum.

Johnson caught five of six targets for 56 yards in Monday night's 29-27 win over the Bears. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.

Johnson was held in check prior to making a huge 22-yard gain to put the Steelers in field-goal range on their final, game-winning drive. With the help of that catch, Johnson actually led or tied for the team lead in all major receiving categories, but it was rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth who scored twice. Following his late-game impact Monday, Johnson will now turn his attention toward a seemingly advantageous matchup versus the Lions in Week 10.

Claypool suffered an undisclosed injury during Monday's game against the Bears, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. He finished the game with three catches for 30 yards and 13 rushing yards on two carries.

Claypool was noticeably absent from Pittsburgh's final drive of the game, though the location and extent of the injury are unclear at this point. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated after the game that Claypool was being evaluated after the contest and that the team would provide additional information Tuesday, per Pryor.

Duvernay caught both of his targets for a total of eight yards and a touchdown against the Vikings.

Sammy Watkins (hamstring) remained sidelined Saturday, which opened the door for Duvernay to get another start. Duvernay played 42 percent of the snaps and caught the game-tying touchdown early in the fourth quarter. He ended the day fifth on the team in targets. Baltimore has a quick turnaround this week as it heads to Miami to face the Dolphins on Thursday.

Treadwell failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 9-6 win over Buffalo.

The 26-year-old saw action in his third game of 2021 and operated as Jacksonville's No. 4 wide receiver, playing 19 offensive snaps compared to Tavon Austin's seven. It didn't result in much involvement in the passing game, but Treadwell appears to have carved out a spot on the roster for now after spending the first two months of the season on the practice squad.

Shenault caught all four of his targets for 24 yards and had one carry for minus-4 yards during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Bills.

Shenault tied for the team lead in receptions, but his involvement once again was limited to the short passing game. The 2020 second-round pick has 32 catches for 343 yards with five rushes for 24 yards and zero total touches through eight games this year, making him a desperation fantasy option barring a significant turnaround.
