Cooper recorded two receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.

Cooper continued to play through a hamstring issue but couldn't produce as the entire Cowboys' offense was unable to get going Sunday. Dak Prescott completed only five passes by halftime, though all of Cooper's production came in the first two quarters. His fantasy production has been boosted by five touchdowns, but Cooper has now topped 75 receiving yards in a game only twice this season.

Meyers had one reception (four targets) for eight yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over Carolina.

The Patriots' passing offense wasn't used much as a whole in a game that they comfortably led wire to wire. That said, Meyers has hit a bit of a rough patch in terms of efficiency, posting a poor catch rate of 39 percent over his last two contests. The 24-year-old will try and reverse his fortunes in a tough matchup against the Browns in Week 10.

Higgins caught six of eight targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 41-16 loss to Cleveland.

Higgins led the Bengals in receiving yards for the second consecutive game, but he still hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 2. The 22-year-old wide receiver scored six touchdowns last season and still has a prominent role in what has been an effective Bengals offense, so Higgins will remain a viable option in all fantasy formats after Cincinnati comes out of its Week 10 bye. He has 35 catches for 431 yards and two touchdowns in seven games played this season.

Bourne caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Panthers.

The Patriots led comfortably for the majority of this contest, so the air attack wasn't asked to do much overall. Bourne ended up leading all wideouts in targets, receptions and yardage. The veteran wideout has posted a couple of strong statistical games this year, but his upside is generally capped by a conservative offensive gameplan. Bourne and the Patriots will face a stiff test against the Browns' tough pass defense in Week 10.

Peoples-Jones (groin) caught two of three targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.

Peoples-Jones did most of his damage on a 60-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. With Odell Beckham set to be waived by the Browns on Monday, Peoples-Jones will be Baker Mayfield's top option on the outside moving forward, though the Browns still have an assortment of running backs and tight ends to throw to, as well as slot dynamo Jarvis Landry. With at least 70 receiving yards in each of his last three games played and three touchdowns in the last two, Peoples-Jones is establishing himself as a viable fantasy option at wide receiver heading into his team's Week 10 trip to New England.

Diggs caught six passes for 85 yards on eight targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.

The Jaguars shocked Buffalo with a 9-6 upset and obliterated basically every component of the Bills offense, the one exception being Diggs. He led Buffalo in receiving yards, catching 75 percent of his targets at 10.6 yards per target on a day where quarterback Josh Allen completed just 66 percent of his passes at 5.6 yards per attempt. Solid as Diggs' numbers were, it's still a disappointing box score considering the matchup and a missed opportunity in a season where the star wideout has yet to truly break out the way he did in 2020. He'll have another good shot to do so against the Jets in Week 10.

Chase caught six of 13 targets for 49 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 41-16 loss to Cleveland. He also rushed twice for no gain.

Chase was the intended receiver on a Joe Burrow pass that was returned for a 99-yard interception touchdown to end a promising Bengals opening drive, then the rookie wide receiver fumbled in the second quarter. He also had a ball go through his hands in the end zone in the third quarter, as some of the drops Chase struggled with in the preseason have begun to resurface. After eclipsing 50 receiving yards in each of his first seven games, Chase has failed to reach that mark in either of the last two, but the Bengals' Week 10 bye will give the standout rookie an opportunity to hit the reset button.

Anderson caught one of three targets for two yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Patriots.

Anderson was once again a virtual non-factor after putting up a goose egg last Sunday. Although no wideout other than DJ Moore caught more than one pass amid quarterback Sam Darnold's continued struggles, Anderson has now gone four straight games without topping 15 receiving yards. Such little recent production makes it hard to expect much from Anderson in Week 10 versus the Cardinals.

Moore caught three of seven targets for 32 yards and rushed twice for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Patriots.

Moore led Carolina in targets, but saw tailbacks Christian McCaffrey and Chuba Hubbard top him in receiving yardage on a day when quarterback Sam Darnold again struggled while throwing three interceptions. Darnold also led Moore into a big hit late, adding to Carolina's offensive frustrations. Although McCaffrey's return gives Moore notable competition for looks, those two are easily coordinator Joe Brady's best playmakers, which should keep Moore's value stable heading into Week 10 versus the Cardinals.

Samuel (calf) is listed as active Sunday versus the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Samuel didn't log as many practice reps this week as he did during Week 8 prep, following a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen. He thus went into the weekend as questionable, and while Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Sunday that Samuel was on pace to suit up, the wide receiver may not be afforded his typical workload. In seven games this season, Samuel has garnered at least 81 percent of offensive snaps six times, churned out 100-plus receiving yards on four occasions, and scored five total touchdowns.
