Slayton recorded five receptions on seven targets for 93 yards in Week 10 against the Eagles.

Slayton made an immediate impact for the Giants, recording a 22-yard reception on the second play of the game. He was then forced off the field due to a shoulder injury but returned to provide explosive gains of 16 and 40 yards to help clinch a victory in the fourth quarter. Slayton now has eight receptions of greater than 20 yards and two for 40 or more yards on the season. Even with the splash play ability, Slayton has been a boom or bust option, surpassing 90 yards in three contests but registering less than 50 in five games. The Giants have a bye in Week 11, but Slayton will look to build on this effort in Week 12 against the Bengals.

Smith won't return to Sunday's contest against the 49ers due to a concussion, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

In the aftermath of a big hit in the second quarter, Smith remained on the turf for some time before needing assistance to reach the sideline and eventually go to the locker room. Before he departed, he was held without a catch on one target. Look for Deonte Harris and potentially Marquez Callaway to get any targets that don't go to starting wide receivers Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

Cole reeled in five of his seven targets for 47 yards and a receiving touchdown, adding a 91-yard punt return for a touchdown during Sunday's 24-20 loss to Green Bay.

Cole kept his team in the game with a pair of critical contributions, making history Sunday by recording the longest punt-return TD in 26 years of Jaguars football. The 27-year-old also secured Jake Luton's lone passing score of the afternoon while ranking second on the team in targets behind Chris Conley (eight). Cole compiled just 18 combined receiving yards in his previous two games entering Sunday, but immediately prior to that, he tallied 143 receiving yards on six catches against the Lions. The Kentucky Wesleyan standout now has two impressive outings over his past four as the Jaguars prepare for a Week 11 matchup against Pittsburgh's No. 5 scoring defense.

Smith (head) went to the locker room during the second quarter of Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

Smith took a huge hit and didn't move on the turf for a spell, but he eventually was able to walk of the field with some assistance. Considering the nature of the play, he may be undergoing neurological testing to determined if he suffered a concussion. In any case, Smith only received the one target before his departure.

Anderson brought in four of six targets for 21 yards in the Panthers' 46-23 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Anderson was in the familiar position of serving as one of the Panthers' leaders in targets, checking in second only to DJ Moore in that category for the afternoon. However, unlike most every other game this season, Anderson couldn't shake free for any appreciable gains, leading to his lowest yardage tally of the campaign. The veteran Temple product will look to put the underwhelming performance behind him when the Panthers tangle with the Lions in a favorable Week 11 matchup.

Adams corralled eight of his 12 targets for 66 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 24-20 win against Jacksonville. He also lost one fumble.

Adams was forced to briefly exit Sunday's contest in order to have his ankle evaluated by trainers, but he was able to return after one drive. The three-time Pro Bowler notched his ninth touchdown reception of the 2020 campaign with his fourth-quarter score from the arm of Aaron Rodgers, simultaneously pulling even with Greg Jennings for sixth all-time in TD receptions (53) in Packers franchise history. Adams' workload had been dominant entering Sunday, with double-digit targets in each of his preceding four outings. Against the Jaguars, he attracted two times as many targets as Green Bay's No. 2 option. Week 11 presents a matchup against an Indianapolis defense that ranks fifth best in the NFL with a 62.2 percent catch rate allowed to opposing wideouts.

Evans brought in six of 11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Evans led the team in targets while checking in second in receiving yards, recording his touchdown on a leaping three-yard grab in the back of the end zone just before halftime to erase a 17-10 deficit. The towering wideout also was close to a second score but was overthrown by Tom Brady, and his overall performance was encouraging considering the amount of attention he garnered from the future Hall of Fame quarterback despite Antonio Brown's active status. Evans' catch total qualified as his highest since Week 4, and he'll look to carry over the momentum into a Week 11 Monday night battle versus the Rams.

Cooks caught six of eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 10-7 loss to Cleveland.

Cooks led the Texans in catches and tied Will Fuller for the team lead in targets but couldn't get open downfield, gaining no more than 10 yards on any of his catches. Pharaoh Brown scored Houston's lone touchdown as Deshaun Watson threw for a season-low 163 yards on a windy and rainy afternoon in Cleveland, but Cooks should bounce back at home against the Patriots in Week 11, especially if top cornerback Stephon Gilmore spends most of his time guarding Will Fuller.

Godwin brought in all six targets for 92 yards in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

The fourth-year wideout paced the team in receiving yardage while tying his second-highest catch total of the season. Godwin encouragingly has logged 12 targets over the two games he's played thus far alongside Antonio Brown, a trend that fantasy managers will naturally hope persists even as the latter gets further acclimated to the offense. Godwin is still in the hunt for his first 100-yard game of the season, a benchmark he'll look to achieve in a Week 11 Monday night showdown against the tough Rams secondary.

Moore brought in four of seven targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 46-23 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The third-year pro equaled his combined catch total from the prior two games with Sunday's haul, while also exceeding his yardage tally from that span by 23 yards. The latter figure also led the Panthers for the afternoon, with the highlight of the contest coming on a 24-yard touchdown scamper off a receiver screen late in the first quarter. Moore's score was his first since Week 7, and he'll look to stay hot in a Week 11 battle against the vulnerable Lions defense.
