  • Keenan Allen WR | IND

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Racks up nine catches

    Allen recorded nine receptions on 11 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Broncos.

    Allen was overshadowed by Mike Williams in terms of yardage, but he still led the team in targets and receptions. He caught his third touchdown of the season on a nine-yard pass over the middle of the field late in the second quarter. Otherwise, he was mostly limited to short gains, with his only deep reception going for 22 yards while again working over the middle of the field. For the season, Allen now has 53 receptions for 548 yards across seven games. He'll look to maintain his strong volume of targets in Week 9 against Las Vegas.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Grabs second TD of 2020

    Renfrow corralled all four of his targets for 26 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 16-6 win against the Browns.

    Renfrow has been somewhat of a high-floor option of late, with four or more catches in four of his five appearances since Week 3. The second-year pro has also averaged 50.2 receiving yards per game during that span, hauling in his TDs in Weeks 3 and 8. Renfrow, Henry Ruggs and Darren Waller were the only Raiders to garner at least four targets Sunday, and the young pass-catching trio will now shift focus to a Week 9 intra-divisional clash against the Chargers.

  • Willie Snead WR | MIA

    Ravens' Willie Snead: Paces team in receiving during loss

    Snead corralled five of seven targets for 106 receiving yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

    Snead led all Ravens in targets and catches, while his receiving total was 11 yards short of being three times more than the team's No. 2 option. The 28-year-old entered Sunday's contest averaging fewer than 25 receiving yards per game on the season, with no more than four catches in any contest. He'll face an Indianapolis defense Week 9 that just surrendered two receiving TDs to Marvin Jones while also allowing three other Lions pass-catchers to go for 50-plus receiving yards.

  • Javon Wims WR | CAR

    Bears' Javon Wims: Ejected from game

    Wims caught one pass for nine yards before being ejected for fighting in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Wims has caught just five passes for 35 yards on the season, and unless his role in the offense significantly changes, his fantasy value will remain minimal.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: Posts highest yardage of season

    Mooney caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Mooney has been targeted on numerous deep passes throughout the season, and Nick Foles used a play-action fake to slow the pass rush while connecting on a 50-yard pass to the receiver Sunday. Mooney later cemented his fantasy day by catching a touchdown pass in the red zone to account for his second score of the season. Mooney's now been targeted at least five times in six straight games, and he's quickly becoming a solid fantasy depth option.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Breaks scoring drought

    Robinson caught six passes for 87 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Robinson made a great adjustment on his route to beat double coverage on a 24-yard touchdown in the first half, but he was largely quiet until the Bears were forced to play from behind late in the fourth quarter and overtime, which allowed him to pile up a solid yardage total. Even though he scored his first touchdown in four weeks, he's posted at least 70 yards in all but two games this season, and he continues to perform as a steady top-15 option at wide receiver.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Just one catch against Ravens

    Johnson hauled in one of his three targets for six receiving yards during Sunday's 28-24 win against Baltimore.

    Johnson was forced to sit out Week 6 because of a back injury, but he re-emerged last Sunday against the Titans with a nine-catch, 80-yard, two-touchdown performance. The 2019 third-round pick enjoyed an exciting start to the season with 14 receptions, 149 yards and a touchdown Weeks 1 and 2, but he's since dealt with injury and has been held under 10 receiving yards over three of his past four appearances. An upcoming matchup against the Cowboys' 32nd-ranked scoring defense provides Johnson with an opportunity to get back on track after he was slowed during the Steelers' most recent practice week because of toe and ankle issues.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Unstoppable in Week 8

    Metcalf recorded 12 receptions on 15 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8 against the 49ers.

    After being shut down for 23 total yards in Week 7, Metcalf exploded to top 100 receiving yards for the third time this season. While Metcalf continued to deliver splash plays -- he had a 36-yard touchdown and a 35-yard reception -- his performance was notable because of the target share he commanded. Specifically, Metcalf's 15 targets was a career-high mark and only the fourth time in his career that he's been targeted more than 10 times in a contest. While Tyler Lockett and Metcalf will likely continue to take turns as the top receiver in the Seahawks passing attack, Metcalf has managed to rack up 680 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in seven games. He'll look to keep up that impressive pace in Week 9 against the Bills.

  • Chase Claypool WR | BUF

    Steelers' Chase Claypool: Notches another TD in Week 8 win

    Claypool reeled in five of his nine targets for 42 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-24 win against the Ravens. He also lost one fumble.

    Boosted by an incredible 116-yard, four-touchdown performance Week 5 against the Eagles, Claypool has posted six touchdowns over his past four appearances. Though he finished third among Steelers pass-catchers in receiving Sunday, the rookie's target total paced the team, an encouraging signal of his ongoing fantasy potential. A Week 9 matchup against the Cowboys provides ample opportunity for Claypool to continue his scoring spree, as Dallas entered Sunday allowing an NFL-high 12 receiving TDs to opposing wide receivers.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Rams' Josh Reynolds: Four more grabs in loss

    Reynolds brought in four of nine targets for 44 yards in the Rams' 28-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Six days after seeing a season-high eight targets against the Bears, Reynolds beat that tally by one Sunday while also equaling his season high in receptions. The fourth-year wideout drew even with Gerald Everett for a distant second on the day in looks behind Cooper Kupp's astounding 21, and it appears his profile in the air attack is on the upswing. Reynolds will be a player to monitor in Week 10 against the Seahawks following a Week 9 bye.
