Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Sees just one snap in Week 9
Meyers logged just one of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.
The Patriots ran plenty of three-receiver sets Sunday, but turned almost exclusively to Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett on that front. Meyers thus slots in no higher than New England's No. 4 option at the position, and he could drop another notch once rookie N'Keal Harry re-joins the mix, possibly as soon as Week 11, following the team's bye week..

David Moore WR | CAR
Seahawks' David Moore: Minimal production
Moore hauled in two of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Buccaneers.
He logged a season-high 41 of a possible 75 offensive snaps (55 percent), but Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf dominated the production at wide receiver, as the duo combined for 275 yards and three scores. Moore was the clear No. 3 receiver behind the two as Jaron Brown logged just 17 snaps. However, Moore's role should decrease if Josh Gordon -- who was claimed off waivers from the Patriots on Friday -- suits up in Week 10's matchup against the 49ers.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | LAC
Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Held without catch in Week 9
Valdes-Scantling was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Valdes-Scantling had his best game of the season in the Packers' Week 7 win over the Raiders, but he has been almost invisible since, tallying just one reception for four yards over two games. Despite the nearly non-existent output, Valdes-Scantling still played the second-most snaps among Packers receivers Sunday, and he has started all but one game this season, so there is reason to believe he can get back on track. He and the rest of the Packers' passing game will be challenged again in Week 10, though, facing a Panthers defense that ranks eighth in the league against the pass and allowed wide receivers to find paydirt just one time over its last three games.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Ravens' Marquise Brown: Returns with 48 yards
Brown (ankle) caught three passes (four targets) for 48 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Patriots.
Brown returned from an ankle injury following a three-week layoff. While the rookie didn't produce a strong fantasy line -- no one from the Ravens performed particularly well in the receiving game -- his 48 yards did lead all Baltimore options. Brown slid back into the the top wideout role, and the speedster will look to break off a big play against a porous Bengals defense on Sunday.

Adam Humphries WR | HOU
Titans' Adam Humphries: Records four receptions
Humphries converted all four of his targets into receptions for 65 yards in Week 9 against the Panthers.
Humphries made the most of his opportunities to turn in his second best game as a Titan. His most notable catch came late in the third quarter, when he caught a slant pass across the middle before turning upfield for a 25-yard gain. While he's managed to haul in 78 percent of his targets this season, Humphries has averaged only 9.9 yards per catch and surpassed six targets in a game only once.

Corey Davis WR | NYJ
Titans' Corey Davis: Fails to surpass 50 yards
Davis recorded four receptions on five targets for 48 yards in Week 9 against the Panthers.
Davis was the team's second-most targeted receiver, but he was notably outplayed by rookie wideout A.J. Brown. Since his breakout Week 7 performance against the Chargers, Davis has managed just six receptions for 57 yards combined across his last two games. A number of factors are working against Davis being a consistent producer, particularly the emergence of Brown and Ryan Tannehill's willingness to spread the ball around to a number of different Titans receivers. The team may ultimately be forced to up their pass volume and run their offense at a faster pace in an effort to earn a victory against the Chiefs in Week 10, potentially opening the door for Davis to produce.

Breshad Perriman WR | IND
Buccaneers' Breshad Perriman: Best performance of season
Perriman brought in four of eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Perriman's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season bests, and he lucked into his first touchdown of the season by grabbing hold of a deflected pass originally intended for Mike Evans late in the first quarter. Perriman still had an inefficient effort overall, but he at least paid dividends for the first time all season. Perriman will look to build on this performance in Week 10 against the Cardinals, but he'll remain hard to trust despite the expanded role Sunday.
-
A.J. Brown WR | NE
Titans' A.J. Brown: Leads way in receiving yards
Brown caught four of his seven targets for 81 yards in Week 9 against the Panthers.
Brown led the team in both targets and receptions, the second time in the past three weeks he's shown strong rapport with Ryan Tannehill. Still, his effort was a contrast in both good and bad, as he showed the ability to work downfield on a 35-yard reception that was highly contested to begin the fourth quarter. On the other hand, he let a target slip through his hands for an interception that led directly to a Panthers touchdown early in the game. Overall, Brown now has at least seven targets in two of his last three games, far more consistent volume than he saw early in the season.
-
Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Tallies seven grabs in Week 9 loss
Godwin brought in seven of nine targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Godwin saw teammate Mike Evans once again steal the spotlight, with the latter turning double-digit targets into double-digit receptions for the second straight week. Godwin did check in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Evans, but he was once again utilized in much closer proximity to the line of scrimmage on his way to 8.7 yards per grab. While his final line wasn't particularly remarkable, Godwin did see a good bump in production after mustering a more modest 4-43 line in Week 8 versus the Titans. He'll look to boost his numbers further versus the Cardinals in Week 10.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Eye-popping line in Week 9 loss
Evans secured 12 of 16 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
For the second straight game, Evans put up stellar fantasy numbers in a close Buccaneers loss. The standout receiver now has a 23-378-3 line over the last pair of games, and he's drawn a jaw-dropping 45 targets over the last three contests overall. Evans could have had an even bigger day, as he was the intended receiver on a pass that ended up in the hands of teammate Breshad Perriman in the end zone after it was deflected into the air. Given his elite production of late, Evans remains a very viable play in an upcoming Week 10 matchup against the fast-paced Cardinals.
