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.

Evans hauled in four of six targets for 82 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Evans once again paced the team in receiving yardage, but he actually was just fourth in targets and checked in under 100 yards receiving for the first time in the last three contests. He had been on an unsustainable pace of averaging 15 targets per game over the last three contests, and although he saw a considerable drop in looks Sunday, he still naturally remains a strong play in all formats going into a Week 11 divisional showdown against the Saints.

Jones caught five of six targets for a team-high 77 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Bears.

It was encouraging to see Jones post a typical stat line with Jeff Driskel filling in for Matthew Stafford (back) under center. While Jones' ceiling is certainly lower sans Stafford, he should remain a viable fantasy option against the Cowboys in Week 11 regardless of whether the Lions' starting quarterback makes his return.

Brown caught a 17-yard pass off of four targets during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Chiefs.

The Titans are 3-1 with Ryan Tannehill at quarterback, but Brown has been uneven with his new signal caller, with 10 catches for 145 yards combined in a pair of games against the Chargers and Panthers and three catches for 28 total yards in wins over the Buccaneers and Chiefs. The rookie has the benefit of being in a Titans offense not exactly brimming with established targets and will have the bye week to iron things out with Tannehill. After the bye comes a matchup against a Jacksonville defense that held Brown to a four-yard catch in Week 3.

Slayton caught 10 of 14 targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.

Slayton scored touchdowns of five and 39 yards in the second quarter, delivering his second two-score performance in the past three weeks. Sandwiched in between those performances is a one-catch, six-yard dud, as the 22-year-old wide receiver is still striving to find week-to-week consistency. Slayton makes for an intriguing pickup moving forward given the upside he's displayed recently, but his role could shrink dramatically if Sterling Shepard (concussion) is ready to make his return following the Giants' Week 11 bye.

Thomas corralled 13 of 14 targets for 152 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Falcons.

The 26-year-old wideout has been one of the league's most consistently-dominant fantasy assets through 10 weeks of the 2019 season, racking up at least five catches in every single game and eclipsing 85 receiving yards in eight of nine. Thomas' hefty workload indicates that he will continue to be a force down the stretch, as he has now averaged 12.2 targets per game since Week 5, with no fewer than seven balls thrown his way in any contest this year. Week 11 presents an extremely favorable matchup for Thomas, as he will be facing a Buccaneers defense that allowed Arizona's top pass catcher, Christian Kirk, to amass 138 receiving yards and three touchdowns Sunday.

Robinson caught six passes for 86 yards in the Bears' 20-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Robinson was targeted on nine of Mitchell Trubisky's 23 passes, and though many of them were off target, he continued to use his amazing athleticism to make difficult contested catches. Robinson could've had a bigger day, but a fantastic defensive play by a defender knocked the ball free on what would have been a reception of over 20 yards, and he also drew a long pass interference penalty. Over his last seven games, he's failed to reach 60 yards on just one occasion and continues to be a steady source of fantasy production.

Beckham caught five of 12 targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bills.

Although Beckham's dozen targets set a new season high, he only hauled in 42 percent of the balls thrown his way. He didn't generate a play longer than 16 yards as he drew plenty of attention from a skilled Buffalo secondary. Meanwhile, Jarvis Landry had another productive game and Kareem Hunt was a notable factor in the passing game, so perhaps opposing defenses won't be able to key in quite as much on Beckham moving forward. He will look to make a greater impact Thursday against the Steelers.

Kirk secured six of 10 targets for 138 yards and three touchdowns in the Cardinals' 30-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Kirk put a touchdown drought that dated back to Week 11 of last season to rest in spectacular fashion, scoring from 33, 69 and 15 yards out in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. The final touchdown gave the Cardinals a 27-23 lead midway through the fourth quarter, but Jameis Winston ultimately would lead a six-play, 92-yard game-winning drive for the Buccaneers. Kirk's receiving yardage total also was a career high and served as the second 100-yard game of his career overall. He's curiously alternated single- and double-digit targets across his seven games this year, so he'll look to garner double-digit looks in back-to-back contests for the first time in 2019 when he faces the 49ers in Week 11.

Smith-Schuster (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Eight games into his 2019 campaign, Smith-Schuster has logged 33 catches for 459 yards and three TDs, numbers that give him decent fantasy value but don't stack up to his lofty preseason ADP, which was based on him catching passes from Ben Roethlisberger (elbow), who is now on IR. Assuming he avoids any in-game setbacks, Smith-Schuster figures to continue to see his share of targets from QB Mason Rudolph, but of late the duo's chemistry has been hit-or-miss. Additionally, the wide receiver faces the added challenge Sunday of potentially drawing the attention of talented cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
