Douglas caught four of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.

In his second game back from a multi-week high-ankle sprain, Douglas led the team with 31 routes on Malik Willis' 36 dropbacks against New England. The rookie wideout's six targets tied Greg Dulcich and Malik Washington for the team lead on a day Willis targeted nine different pass catchers. Through four games this season, Douglas has 13 grabs for 226 yards and two touchdowns on 19 targets. He's a low-volume big-play threat on the outside for Miami, but Douglas will be in the mix as a streamer for next Sunday's date with a leaky Lions secondary.

McConkey brought in four of six targets for 86 yards in the Chargers' 24-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

McConkey finally shook off the concussion that led to his exit from a Week 6 loss to the Chiefs during Week 8 prep, and despite the fact Tre' Harris was also back from a hamstring injury, the former still led the Chargers in receiving yards and targets. The yardage tally was also a season high for McConkey, who is averaging a career-best 16.8 yards per reception on his 17 catches to date. Los Angeles' air attack showed some improvement Sunday following some retooling during the Week 7 bye, and McConkey figures to remain the top target on the winless Bolts in a Week 9 home matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

Sutton caught all four of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over Kansas City.

For the fourth straight game, Sutton failed to see more than five targets, but his four grabs and 53 yards were both season highs. It's been a rough campaign so far for the 31-year-old receiver in an inconsistent Broncos aerial attack, and Sutton will take a 20-221-1 line on 37 targets through eight games intro a Week 9 clash with the Panthers.

Waddle caught three of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown and added a two-point conversion in Sunday's 28-24 win over Kansas City.

Despite the fact that the wideout is playing through a chest injury, Waddle came up big when it counted, connecting with Bo Nix on a one-yard TD in the second quarter before snagging a two-point conversion in the fourth as Denver mounted a comeback from a 24-13 deficit. Waddle's 29-315-2 line on 51 targets through his first eight games as a Bronco is disappointing, but he still has time to pick up the pace beginning with a Week 9 tilt against the Panthers.

Cooper did not garner a target during Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

Cooper entered Week 8 having topped 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in back-to-back games, so Sunday's performance was especially disappointing. The rookie wideout was overshadowed by Adonai Mitchell (7-142-1) and Garrett Wilson (6-83-0) in the game, and it'll be hard to predict his workload ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Chiefs.

Shakir caught five of six targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens.

Shakir initially appeared to get in the end zone for a six-yard touchdown early in the first quarter, but he was ruled out at the one-yard line after review. Josh Allen then punched in the one-yard touchdown two plays later. On the day, Shakir paced the Bills with his five grabs and tied for second on the team in targets, one behind DJ Moore. Shakir has yet to hit 100 yards in a game this season and has just one touchdown, settling in as a low-ceiling WR4 in fantasy, especially when both Moore and Dalton Kincaid are healthy.

Concepcion caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers.

After a breakout game last Sunday against the Titans, which saw Concepcion record eight grabs for 129 yards on 10 targets, the rookie wideout came crashing back down against a divisional foe. Concepcion's four targets were a distant fourth on the team behind Harold Fannin (12), Denzel Boston (11) and Dylan Sampson (eight), and his four looks were good for just a 10.3 percent target share. Concepcion will try to rebound next Sunday against the Saints, but he's shown little upside, with zero touchdowns and just two games with more than 50 receiving yards.

Downs caught four of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars.

Downs was able to reel in four or more passes for the fourth time this season and second time in the last three weeks. Downs was on the receiving end of the team's only score on the day, reeling in a six-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Jones in the third quarter for the wideout's first score of the year. Downs has now caught 30 of 51 targets for 330 yards and a touchdown over eight contests to open the 2026 campaign, and after he requested a trade this week, he may be wearing a new uniform the next time he appears in a game.

Metcalf brought in one of six targets for four yards in the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers put up a season low in completions, pass attempts, passing yards and completion percentage Sunday, and Metcalf's production was part of the collateral damage. The veteran wideout did see a team high in targets, but the fact he did next to nothing with them led to season lows in catches and receiving yards. Metcalf has had a handful of splash plays over the first half of the season and has two games of more than 90 receiving yards, but he's averaging a career-low 11.5 yards per reception and has just a single touchdown reception heading into the Week 9 bye.

Boston caught six of 11 targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers.

Boston entered Week 8 having caught just four of 13 targets for 42 yards over the previous two games, so Sunday's output was a step in the right direction. The wide receiver's 11 targets were a new career high, and he ranked second behind tight end Harold Fannin (12) in the category versus Pittsburgh. Boston has now reeled in 26 of 53 targets for 409 yards and three touchdowns over the first eight games of the 2026 campaign.
