Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: No setbacks in return
Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Adams (toe) suffered no health setbacks in his return from a four-game absence in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers, Zach Kruse of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
A game-time call heading into the contest, Adams proceeded to start and play 83 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps in the loss, finishing the afternoon with seven catches for 41 yards on 11 targets. While the Packers' passing game couldn't get much going in Los Angeles, the improved health of the team's top target should yield better performances moving forward. With Adams' case of turf toe now seemingly in the rear-view mirror, fantasy managers can use him with confidence in the Packers' Week 10 matchup with the Panthers.

Miles Boykin WR | CHI
Ravens' Miles Boykin: Usage falls off
Boykin was held without a catch on one target Sunday against the Patriots.
The rookie played just 39 percent of the snaps after playing over half the offensive snaps in each of his previous two games. Boykin had just one target and was held without a catch for a third time this season. It's likely not a coincidence that Boykin's usage went up when fellow rookie Marquise Brown was sidelined and fell back off when Brown returned Sunday. Boykin should continue to see a minor role in the Baltimore passing game now that Brown is healthy.

Scott Miller WR | CHI
Buccaneers' Scott Miller: Comes up empty again
Miller failed to come up with either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Not factored in that stat line is a touchdown pass Miller caught in the third quarter that was called off due to the rookie receiver having stepped out of bounds before securing the ball. Miller had a modest spike in production in Week 6 against the Panthers with the first three receptions of his career, but he's failed to come up with any of the three subsequent targets that have come his way over the last two games.

Randall Cobb WR | NYJ
Cowboys' Randall Cobb: Six catches in win
Cobb caught six of eight targets for 35 yards in Monday's win over the Giants.
He could have had an even bigger night from a fantasy perspective, but Cobb had what would have been his second TD of the season wiped out by a holding penalty. The veteran slot receiver has caught a modest 25 passes on 38 targets for 274 yards through seven games.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
Chiefs' Demarcus Robinson: Role declining
Robinson recorded one catch for five yards on two targets Sunday against the Vikings.
Robinson's role was inevitably set to drop as both Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins returned to full health, and he likely settled into that this week, playing 24 snaps (40 percent) versus the Vikings. He remains behind at least Hill, Watkins and Travis Kelce, a trio that accounted for 27 of 34 targets Sunday. Therefore, Robinson may not possess a ton of fantasy upside when all three are healthy.

Mecole Hardman WR | BUF
Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Disappears in Week 9
Hardman was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Vikings, but he did run the ball once for seven yards.
Hardman was on the field offensively for just 11 snaps and 20 combined in the last two weeks, a signal that he's well behind Demarcus Robinson (24 snaps) in pecking order at this point. Hardman did contribute in the return game, going over 100 yards on kicks and adding 17 more on punts, but he also coughed the ball up once. At this point, the rookie doesn't look to be anything more than a return specialist with a few offensive plays mixed in.

Michael Gallup WR | WAS
Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Scores in win
Gallup caught two of six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 37-18 win over the Giants.
Gallup didn't have the biggest game, but still made a considerable impact with one of his touches. After making a first-down reception, Gallup actually galloped over a Giants defender and into the end zone in acrobatic fashion, giving the Cowboys an eight-point lead to start the fourth quarter. In doing so, he scored for the second time this season, which helped compensate for his third straight game with under 50 receiving yards.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Scores long touchdown
Cooper caught four of seven targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 37-18 win over the Giants.
Cooper's performance was highlighted by a 45-yard touchdown at a critical moment during the fourth quarter. That score deflated New York's comeback hopes while giving Cooper his sixth end-zone trip of the season. As usual, Cooper also led Dallas in receiving yards, putting together another well-rounded outing as the team's top wideout. In Week 10, he's slated to face a Vikings defense that struggled to contain Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill this past weekend, but still ranks 10th in passing yards allowed per game.
-
Mack Hollins WR | NE
Eagles' Mack Hollins: Not targeted in fifth straight
Hollins played 42 snaps on offense but was not targeted in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Bears.
Hollins operated as the team's third wide receiver after DeSean Jackson departed early in the contest. With Jackson out for the foreseeable future after aggravating his abdominal injury, Holllins should continue to see starts but has not done anything with the opportunity so far this season. With a Week 10 bye and the Patriots on tap after that, Hollins does not seem close to making an impact in fantasy.

Brandin Cooks WR | SF
Rams' Brandin Cooks: Seeking other medical opinions
Coach Sean McVay termed Cooks (concussion) "day-to-day" Monday, adding that the wide receiver will seek additional medical opinions from specialists, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Cooks suffered the fifth diagnosed concussion of his playing career in the Rams' last outing Week 8. In the meantime, he used the team's bye week to see a specialist, with the visit called "positive," per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Rams hope Cooks isn't facing a lengthy recovery, but all head injuries aren't created equal. The best sign he's making progress through the concussion protocol will occur Wednesday, when the team reconvenes to kick off its Week 10 prep.
