Diggs secured five of seven targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 26-11 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

The star wideout often was held in check throughout the contest by some tough coverage from the Dolphins secondary, but Diggs managed to salvage his fantasy day with a 19-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter. While he otherwise was quiet, Diggs now has touchdown catches in consecutive games after finding the end zone only once through the first five contests of the campaign. He'll next look to exploit a vulnerable Jaguars secondary in a Week 9 road matchup.

Anderson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

Anderson was rocked on his lone target, leaving him down on the field afterward. Although the wideout returned to Sunday's contest, he wasn't involved in the passing game beyond that play. His goose egg added to what's been a very disappointing campaign, as Anderson has topped 50 yards just once through eight outings. With merely 25 yards over his last three appearances, he's not an attractive option ahead of a Week 9 matchup versus the Patriots.

Samuel had six receptions (nine targets) for 171 yards in Sunday's 33-22 victory over the Bears.

Samuel ripped off a career high 83-yard catch and run in the third quarter to cement another strong fantasy outing, narrowly missing his fifth receiving touchdown due to an official review. The 25-year-old now has four 100-plus yard games this season despite getting inconsistent play from his quarterbacks. The 49ers are on track to get George Kittle (calf) back from IR in Week 9, which may cut into Samuel's targets slightly, but the budding star wideout has performed well both with and without his fellow fantasy standout this year. The 49ers will take on the NFC West-leading Cardinals in Week 9.

Moore caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

Moore led Carolina in all major receiving categories, but it was still a below-average performance by his standards. On a coaching challenge that was upheld, he narrowly missed out on an 11-yard touchdown during the first quarter and has now gone four straight outings without a score. With quarterback Sam Darnold suffering a concussion Sunday, it remains to be seen who will be throwing to Moore in Week 9 versus the Patriots -- when superstar tailback Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) could re-enter the fold as well -- but the wideout remains a high-quality option at his position.

Ridley (personal) announced on his personal Twitter page Sunday that he's decided "to step away from football at this time and focus on my mental health."

Ridley previously didn't travel with his teammates to London for a Week 5 matchup with the Jets with what was termed a personal matter. Since then, the Falcons had a bye week, and Ridley returned to action last Sunday at Miami. But he was included on Atlanta's inactive list Sunday against the Panthers, again due to a personal issue. It's unclear exactly how much time he'll spend away from the team, but there's a chance a multi-game absence is in store.

Johnson is set to serve as the Buccaneers' No. 3 receiver Sunday against the Saints with Antonio Brown (ankle) once again inactive.

While spelling Brown in Week 7 against the Bears, Johnson logged a season-high 47 snaps but was targeted just twice, parlaying both looks into catches totaling 16 yards. The second-year wideout will have a second straight opportunity to run directly behind starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and given how frequently vexing the matchup against Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore often has been for Evans in particular, Johnson could be set to draw more of Tom Brady's attention than he did versus Chicago.

Harris (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

The speedster will make his first appearance since Week 5 after overcoming a hamstring issue. Harris returns to what is projected to be a No. 3 receiver role, as Tre'Quan Smith came off injured reserve during his absence and will operate as the No. 2 wideout alongside Marquez Callaway against Tampa Bay.

Atwell (shoulder) is questionable to return Sunday at Houston, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Atwell had played just 10 offensive snaps this season before Sunday's contest, so his potential absence shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.

Sims (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Denver.

On the heels of three consecutive games missed, Sims got back on the practice field in a limited capacity during Week 8 prep. It was enough activity for Washington to clear him to play for the first time since Week 4, and he could have more opportunity than he previously had with both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) sidelined. Still, Sims likely will be behind all of Terry McLaurin, Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic, Ricky Seals-Jones and Adam Humphries in the pecking order for targets from Taylor Heinicke.

Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against Detroit.

The potential loss of Arcega-Whiteside will test the team's depth at the position, as Jalen Reagor (ankle) has been downgraded to out. Quez Watkins and Greg Ward are expected to see an uptick in snaps as a result.
