Boyd caught six of eight targets for 62 total yards during Sunday's 49-13 loss to Baltimore.

The Bengals offense was quiet for the most part in Ryan Finley's debut, but Boyd did manage to reel in a nice 24-yard pass over the middle early in the second half. The Bengals have played an ugly brand of football this season, but Boyd has still kept value by hauling in at least five passes in seven of nine games, though he has just one touchdown on the season. That share may slip when and if A.J. Green (ankle) returns, but that timetable remains unclear after Green's setback this week. Next up is a Raiders defense that has been porous against the pass this season.

Brown caught all four of his targets for 80 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 49-13 win over the Bengals.

The Ravens wasted no time getting Brown the ball Sunday, taking a shot off of play action for a 49-yard gain down the middle of the field on the first play from scrimmage. He later scored his second touchdown in his last three games on a 20-yard pass in the third quarter. The rookie struggled a little after a hot start to the season before taking to the bench with an ankle injury. In the two games since his return, he's averaged 18.3 yards per catch and improved his season average to 16.2 yards per grab. Next up is a Houston defense that has been mediocre against the pass this season.

Cooper (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Despite logging an LP/DNP/LP practice regimen this week, Cooper will withstand his bruised left knee and slot into his usual spot in the starting lineup. He has a somewhat favorable matchup on tap versus a Minnesota defense that has given up 158.2 receiving yards per game and 12 touchdowns to wideouts in nine contests this season.

Smith failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Smith remained barely involved in the offense. He also ceded kick return duties back to Ty Montgomery, as the Jets' game plan for that special teams role continues to vary on a weekly basis.

Smith caught one of two targets for 13 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Falcons.

In his return from a three-game, injury-induced absence, Smith's disappointing 2019 campaign continued as the Saints were held without a passing touchdown for the third time this season. If a second wide receiver has not emerged in the Saints' passing attack yet this season, one has to wonder if it will ever happen. Outside of Michael Thomas' performance, Sunday's showing was one of the weakest of the year for the New Orleans' receiving corps, as all other Saints wide receivers besides Thomas combined for two catches and 16 yards. Week 11 provides a glimpse of hope for either Smith or Ted Ginn Jr. to be viable as a bye-week fill in, with New Orleans going up against Tampa Bay's bottom-ranked pass defense.

Beasley caught four of six targets for 74 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Browns.

Beasley finished second on the team in catches and receiving yards in this one while ranking third in targets. He generated the team's longest play from scrimmage on the day and finished with an impressive average of 18.5 yards per target. Beasley's three-game touchdown streak came to an end, but he remains a focal point of the passing game and will look to return to the end zone in next Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Anderson caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Anderson continues to falter, as the big plays that kept his bread buttered in past seasons just haven't come this year, excluding a 92-yard touchdown against Dallas back in Week 6. Despite his struggles, there's still some upside to be found with Anderson against Washington's vulnerable secondary in Week 11. The problem is, his floor remains extremely low, as evidenced by Sunday's performance.

Godwin brought in six of 12 targets for 74 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Godwin certainly had plenty of opportunity for a bigger game, as he paced the team in targets with what was his second-highest number of looks this season. However, the third-year wideout was only able to come up with half of them, much of it based on Jameis Winston's inaccuracy, which led to an interception on one of those misfires involving Godwin. The Penn State product has followed up a three-game streak of 100-yard efforts with three consecutive games under that threshold, so he'll look to reverse his current pattern against the Saints in Week 11.

Crowder caught five of six targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Don't look now, but Crowder's heating up just in time for a revenge game against his former team. The former Redskins slot receiver has eclipsed 80 yards with a touchdown in each of the past two games, and he'll be motivated to keep rolling when the Jets travel to Washington in Week 11.

Hill caught 11 of 19 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-32 loss to the Titans. He added a three-yard run during the contest.

Hill snapped the tie midway through the third quarter, outrunning his defender in order to get under Patrick Mahomes' 11-yard touchdown loft. Hill no doubt benefited from Mahomes' return from a knee injury -- his 19 targets setting a career high -- but he also did pretty well with Matt Moore in Week 9 and, with Sunday's effort, was able to top 120 yards in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. Hill has reached at least 70 yards in every game that he has completed this season and has five touchdowns in six games. He'll look to keep it going next Monday night against a Chargers defense that has been exposed against the pass this season.
