Higgins recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Steelers.

The rookie continued his impressive season, surpassing 100 yards for the second time in his last four games. He burned the Steelers secondary for a 54-yard reception early in the second quarter. To cap that same drive, Higgins hauled in a two-yard touchdown reception, his fourth of the campaign. The Bengals will face another tough test in Week 11 against a Washington defense that has limited wide receivers for the majority of the season, though Higgins has quickly turned himself into a reliable producer from both a volume and efficiency perspective.

Reynolds caught eight of 10 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Seahawks.

While the Rams did all their scoring on the ground with three TD runs from inside the 10-yard line, they moved the ball effectively through the air, and Reynolds surprisingly led the team in catches, targets and yards while posting more receiving yards than Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods combined. Reynolds will likely have a hard time putting together a repeat performance in Week 11 on the road against the Buccaneers, however.

Aiyuk caught seven of 14 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown while losing eight yards on his only rushing attempt during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints.

Aiyuk got off to a strong start and opened the scoring with a four-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter. He drew a whopping 37-percent target share as he received nearly three times the number of looks as the next-closest wideout on the team. Aiyuk now has five touchdowns in his last seven games and has averaged 93.7 yards over his last three. Deebo Samuel (hamstring) could return after the upcoming bye week, but Aiyuk should still retain a sizable role in the passing game after demonstrating his capabilities with his teammate sidelined.

Hopkins caught seven of 12 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.

The TD grab immediately went down as one of the greatest catches in Cardinals history -- on the final play of the game, Kyler Murray escaped pressure and heaved a 43-yard hail mary into the end zone that Hopkins somehow came down with despite triple coverage from Buffalo's three best defensive backs (Tre'Davious White, Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer). Hopkins has been everything the Cards hoped for in a No. 1 receiver when they picked him up from the Texans in the offseason, and he heads into Week 11's clash with a porous Seahawks defense on pace for a career high in catches, as well as his third career 1,500-yard campaign.

Cephus caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over Washington.

No receiver other than Marvin Jones saw more than four targets on a day the Lions were able to move the ball through running back D'Andre Swift. However, with Danny Amendola (hip) now likely joining Kenny Golladay (hip) and Jamal Agnew (hip) on the injury report, it's possible Cephus could serve as a top-three receiver for Detroit in Week 11 against Carolina. How involved Cephus's teammates are in practice this week will be telling in how big of a role the Wisconsin product may play.

Thomas caught two of seven targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 27-13 win over the 49ers.

Thomas received his highest target total of the season but made just one catch with Drew Brees (ribs) at the helm in the first half. Brees did not play in the second half after picking up an injury, and Thomas couldn't consistently get on the same page as Jameis Winston, who was less than stellar in relief. All in all, it was another disappointing performance from the star wideout, who has totaled just 95 yards on 10 receptions (18 targets) in three games played this season. Next Sunday's matchup with the Falcons will be Thomas' most favorable so far this season, but he could fail to take full advantage if Winston is under center.

Metcalf caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.

Metcalf predictably drew Jalen Ramsey as a shadow during Sunday's divisional tilt, and the second-year receiver didn't receive a target until the third drive of the second half. He appeared to be open a handful of times in the second half, but Russell Wilson simply couldn't find him Sunday. This was the third time in nine games that Metcalf didn't find the end zone. He'll look to get back on track Thursday night against the Cardinals, who have held him to three receptions for 29 yards over three career matchups.

Beasley caught 11 of 13 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals.

Beasley led the Bills in receiving on the afternoon en route to his third 100-yard performance of the season. The veteran slot receiver heads into Buffalo's bye week with 55 catches, 642 yards and three TDs, putting him on pace for his first career 1,000-yard campaign.

Diggs caught 10 of 11 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals.

His 21-yard TD grab inside the final minute of the fourth quarter appeared to have given the Bills the win, but Kyler Murray capped a four-play, 34-second final drive with a successful hail mary to DeAndre Hopkins to steal the victory for the Cards. Diggs heads into Buffalo's bye week with 73 catches, 906 receiving yards and four touchdowns, putting him firmly on pace for a career year.

Lockett caught five of nine targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.

The Rams' secondary locked down the middle of the field, taking away the real estate where Lockett does his best work. Still, the sixth-year wideout was the only pass catcher to be targeted more than four times by Russell Wilson on Sunday, and he ended up with a modest output as a result. Lockett's touchdowns continue to come in bunches; he has gone scoreless in five of the last six games while squeezing in a three-touchdown performance in Week 7 against the Cardinals. A rematch against the Cardinals is up next Thursday night, and he'll look to recreate the magic in a critical NFC West showdown.
