Powell corralled his lone target for a nine-yard touchdown, adding a four-yard rush during Sunday's 34-27 win against the Broncos. He also registered a 13-yard punt return.

Powell was able to maneuver by Justin Simmons for the second-quarter score, out-positioning the talented free safety on a nine-yard out route to secure his first TD in the NFL. With Calvin Ridley (foot) sitting out Week 9, Powell garnered his third-highest offensive workload of the season (10 snaps). Ridley and the Falcons' receiving corps will have a chance to recover from injury over the Week 10 bye, potentially lessening Powell's offensive role when the team returns Nov. 22 against New Orleans.

Beasley caught all three targets for 39 yards in Buffalo's win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Beasley has posted a few big games this season, but when all the offensive weapons are healthy -- as is the case now -- it's tricky for him to find week-to-week consistency. Stefon Diggs is always going to be the top target monster, but Sunday John Brown and rookie Gabriel Davis both saw more looks than Beasley. No. 11 will have his moments since he's by far the team's best slot receiver, but he's been pushed down the pecking order with the return to health of some other regulars.

Jones caught three of four targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Again serving as the de facto No. 1 receiver in the absence of Kenny Golladay (hip), Jones somehow saw his third-lowest target total of the season. His stat line certainly wasn't helped by Matthew Stafford's (concussion) departure for the locker room, but Jones' light workload is still surprising given how the Vikings' already-weak secondary was also dealing with numerous injuries to cornerbacks. While it's not clear if Golladay has a chance to return Week 10, Jones seems like a risky choice this coming Sunday against Washington, though one with some decent upside given his red-zone prowess.

Mickens logged just one snap on offense without a target but returned two kickoffs for 46 yards and one punt for one yard in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

Mickens was coming off a 5-36 line on eight targets in a Week 8 win over the Giants, but Antonio Brown's debut Sunday night unsurprisingly pushed the speedster back down into the lowest portion of the wideout depth chart. The four-year pro is likely to continue logging time nearly exclusively on special teams moving forward, unless multiple injuries were to strike the receiver corps.

Johnson secured his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

The rookie unsurprisingly filled a minor role, logging just six snaps from scrimmage and coming in last in targets among players who received at least one look from Tom Brady. Johnson has slipped down to No. 5 on the wideout depth chart with the arrival of Antonio Brown, so his level of participation moving forward could be similarly modest.

Miller secured one of three targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

Miller was one of multiple Bucs players to turn in lackluster fantasy performances in the lopsided loss. The speedster essentially worked as the No. 4 wideout with Antonio Brown active for his first game with the team, and the extent of Miller's workload Sunday could be more or less par for the course on many weeks moving forward as long as Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Brown remain healthy in front of him.

Moore caught four of six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-34 loss to the Bills.

The fourth-year wide receiver enjoyed season highs in both receptions and targets. The highlight of his day came in the fourth quarter when he took a vertical route to the end zone, seemingly uncovered, and waited for Russell Wilson to toss a 55-yard moonball. Moore now has four touchdowns on the season, doubling last year's total and putting him one shy of a career high in the category.

Grant secured four of five targets for 35 yards during Sundays' 34-31 win over Arizona.

Grant only played 48 percent of offensive snaps, operating primarily out of the slot, but his five targets were tied with Preston Williams (foot) for the second-highest mark on the team. It's worth noting that Williams was forced to exit in the first half due to a sprain, so Grant's looks may have been slightly inflated. That's a trend that could repeat against the Chargers in Week 10 though, if Williams can't return. Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, Grant also now leads the NFL in punt return yards.

Hollins hauled in his only target for 11 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.

Hollins took the field in relief of Preston Williams (foot), who had to be carted off due to a sprain in the first half after scoring a touchdown of his own. He finished the game having played 28 percent of offensive snaps, less than both Jakeem Grant (48 percent) and Malcolm Perry (38 percent). If Williams can't return against the Chargers in Week 10, Hollins will have limited fantasy appeal in deep formats.

Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said Monday that he hopes to get Reagor "in the mix" at punt returner, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Fipp added that he didn't want to put too much on Reagor's plate Week 8, before the Eagles' bye and with the rookie coming off IR. Even without increased involvement on special teams, Reagor will be an intriguing fantasy option during the second half of the season, given the potential that he takes over as a top target for Carson Wentz. If he does start fielding punts, it would provide Reagor with a notable boost in leagues that award fantasy points for return yardage.
