Montgomery didn't touch the ball in Sunday's 26-18 loss to Miami.

Montgomery was held without a touch for the second consecutive game while Bilal Powell served as the backup running back with two carries. With New York preferring the combination of Vyncint Smith and Braxton Berrios in the return game, Montgomery has been left without a role altogether.

Hill brought in six of eight targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 26-23 win over the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed once for five yards.

Hill demonstrated he didn't necessarily need Patrick Mahomes under center to thrive, exploding for his first 100-yard effort of the season and notching a 41-yard catch in the process. The versatile speedster also opened the scoring with a 40-yard touchdown grab and now has four receiving scores since returning from his early-season collarbone injury. Hill should have Mahomes back under center Week 10 against the Titans, affording him a good opportunity to put together a second consecutive strong performance.

Smith caught one of three targets for 20 yards and added a 78-yard kick return in Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Dolphins.

Smith almost broke free on his lone kick return but still set his team up with an instant red-zone trip. The rookie continues to showcase his explosiveness, but he doesn't see enough usage to translate his talent into fantasy success.

Robinson caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Despite facing one of the weaker pass defenses in the league, Mitchell Trubisky threw for just 125 yards, which certainly limited any upside for Robinson. He had an opportunity for potential long touchdown after he ran past the cornererback, but Trubisky underthrew the pass, resulting in an incompletion. This was the first time he posted fewer than 60 yards since Week 2, and he still should be considered a solid weekly lineup option.

Smith-Schuster caught three of five targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Colts.

Smith-Schuster finished third on the team in targets, with his long gain going for just 12 yards. The passing game was mostly limited to short dump-offs in this one as a result of the general ineffectiveness of Mason Rudolph. This dud performance was likely even more frustrating for Smith-Schuster's owners considering he broke loose for 103 yards and a touchdown last week, but this inconsistency is part of the reality of the current Steelers offense. He'll face a tough matchup next week against the Rams and cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

McLaurin hauled in four of six targets and accounted for 39 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Bills.

The rookie wideout accounted for at least 51 receiving yards in each of his first five appearances of the year while scoring five times. However, over the past three weeks against San Francisco, Minnesota and Buffalo, he's managed only three catches per game for an average output of 29.7 yards. Washington's offense has been stuck in the mud, and McLaurin's production has been stifled as a result, with the Redskins now having gone 13 consecutive quarters without reaching the end zone. Following the Week 10 bye, McLaurin and the Washington offense will return to the field against a Jets defense that has given up 26-plus points in five of it past six appearances.

Crowder caught eight of nine targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Dolphins.

Crowder had largely laid dormant since Week 1, but he came alive in this favorable matchup against the winless Dolphins. He capped the opening drive with a 12-yard touchdown and eclipsed 80 yards for just the third time this season. With quarterback Sam Darnold struggling to push the ball downfield effectively, Crowder's poised for another productive effort underneath against the Giants in Week 10.

Parker hauled in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-18 win over the Jets.

Parker's 17-yard touchdown in the second quarter was his fourth of the season, tying his career high set back in 2016. The 2015 first-rounder hasn't lived up to his lofty draft billing, but this subpar Miami team doesn't exactly have many alternatives to turn to on offense, so wide receivers Parker and Preston Williams -- who left in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury -- should continue to do most of the damage for the Dolphins. Up next for Parker is a Week 10 road clash with the Colts.

Anderson caught two of four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Dolphins.

Quarterback Sam Darnold just missed connecting with Anderson on a pair of potential chunk plays, but the bottom line is that Anderson delivered a dud despite facing a putrid Dolphins team. New York now sports an identical 1-7 record to the Dolphins and has actually been worse offensively, so it's tough to trust anybody on that side of the ball for the Jets. It wouldn't be surprising to see Anderson break free for some big gains against a vulnerable Giants secondary in Week 10, but another poor performance like this one is just as likely.

Adams (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers in L.A., Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.

Subject to a pregame warmup, Adams has overcome his questionable tag and ended his absence at four contests. During Week 9 prep, coach Matt La Fleur was reticent to guarantee Adams' return to action, especially because the wide receiver still felt some pain while pushing off his right foot. In the end, the Packers' medical staff has determined Adams can handle the rigors of an NFL game, but the team also wouldn't shock anyone if it capped his snap count. Whatever he's allowed to take on, he'll be looking to take advantage of a Chargers defense that has given up 9.3 yards per target and seven touchdowns to wide receivers in eight outings this season.
