Keke Coutee WR | MIA
Texans' Keke Coutee: No play for second straight
Coutee dressed but did not play in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Jaguars.
This is the second straight week that Coutee dressed but did not get off the sideline. The 2018 fourth-round draft pick has dropped out of the offense without warning. DeAndre Carter has moved ahead of him on the depth chart and is serving as the third wideout while Will Fuller (hamstring) is sidelined.

Marvin Jones WR | DET
Lions' Marvin Jones: Finds end zone in loss to Raiders
Jones caught eight of 10 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Raiders.
Jones led the team in targets while averaging a healthy 15.8 yards per catch. He broke off a season-long 47-yard gain to help him get there and added a two-yard touchdown reception to give him six scores through eight games in 2019. Jones is on pace for one of the best statistical seasons of his career and will look to keep it up next Sunday against the Bears.

Zach Pascal WR | NYG
Colts' Zach Pascal: Takes over as leading receiver
Pascal recorded five receptions on six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Steelers.
Pascal entered the game among a committee of receivers that hoped to replace T.Y. Hilton's (calf) production. He did so successfully, leading the team in targets, receptions and yards. In the process, he showed rapport with both Jacoby Brissett (knee) and Brian Hoye in a performance highlighted by a 14-yard score late in the second quarter. However, he also connected for long receptions of 17, 18 and 19 yards to turn in his second-highest yardage total of the season. While Pascal has seen inconsistent volume throughout the campaign, he should be among the team's top receivers so long as Hilton remains sidelined.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Superb performance in shootout
Metcalf caught six of nine passes for 123 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win against the Buccaneers.
Metcalf would've had a solid afternoon either way, but his 53-yard, go-ahead score in the fourth quarter was his final stamp on the best performance of his short career. This was the first time he caught more than four passes in a game, and the 123 yards is his highest mark since Week 1's 89-yard outing. Josh Gordon, who was claimed off waivers from the Patriots on Friday, should be in the fold Week 10 against the 49ers, so Metcalf could have competition for deep targets going forward.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Explodes for 152 yards, two scores
Lockett caught 13 of 18 targets for 152 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win against the Buccaneers.
It was a truly remarkable outing for Lockett, who was Russell Wilson's go-to guy all afternoon, as the two showed uncanny chemistry in clutch situations. Of Lockett's 13 receptions, 10 went for either a first down or a touchdown. This performance helped Lockett achieve career highs in receptions (59) and targets (72) through just nine games, numbers he's ringing up at an impressive 81.9 percent catch rate. Lockett's massive target share makes his production sustainable, and fantasy owners should continue plugging him even against a stout 49ers defense in Week 10.

Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Panthers' Curtis Samuel: Finds end zone
Samuel hauled in three of his six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Titans. He also added one rush for 10 yards.
Samuel saw limited volume, but he made the most of his opportunities by turning in multiple big plays. The first came on a 32-yard reception down the right sideline late in the first quarter, but his biggest contribution came just before halftime when he found the end zone on a 12-yard reception. Though he's surpassed 70 receiving yards just once this season, Samuel has seen at least six targets in every game but Week 1.

N'Keal Harry TE | SEA
Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Inactive Sunday night
Harry is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.
The No. 32 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft was activated off IR by the Patriots on Saturday, but Harry's NFL regular-season debut will have to wait. The team's Week 9 wide receiver corps will thus be led by Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu, Phillip Dorsett and Jakobi Meyers.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Patriots' Gunner Olszewski: Unavailable for SNF
Olszewski (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
The rookie receiver's main contribution is as a returner. Matthew Slater figures to return kicks while Julian Edelman could field punts in Olszewski's place.
-
Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Ravens' Marquise Brown: Back in action Sunday night
Brown (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Patriots.
Brown - who last suited up Oct. 6 - is available to those who rolled the dice that he'd play, despite the Ravens' late kickoff. The rookie wideout has the speed to be a big-play threat any time he's on the field, but Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com previously suggested that Brown could see his snaps limited in his return to action. With that possibility in mind, as well as the daunting matchup the ball-hawking New England defense presents, the No. 25 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft is a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option in Week 9.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' D.J. Moore: Surpasses 100 receiving yards
Moore hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 101 yards in Week 9 against the Titans.
Moore took advantage of being targeted at least 10 times for the first time with Kyle Allen under center by turning in his first 100-yard receiving game of the season. He relied on four catches of more than 10 yards for the majority of his production, narrowly missing out on a touchdown on a 32 yard-reception when he was pushed out of bounds one yard shy of the end zone. While this was an encouraging performance from Moore, the Panthers will continue to rely on their defense and run game -- particularly Christian McCaffrey -- to win games, meaning Moore's target volume figures to remain volatile.
