  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Dashes for long score

    Kupp caught seven of 10 targets for 220 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-10 win over Cincinnati.

    The 220 yards were a career-high for the prolific young receiver. His biggest splash was in the second quarter, when Jared Goff made a throw to the outside off a double-reverse flea flicker and Kupp did the rest, galloping toward the end zone for a 65-yard score. The Rams have a lot of weapons on offense even if Brandin Cooks (concussion) misses some time, but Kupp has been on a different level this season while leading the team in catches, targets, yards and touchdowns as Jared Goff's security blanket. He's had at least 10 targets in five of eight games this season. After beating up on the hapless Bengals, Kupp and the Rams get the Steelers after the bye.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Jaguars' D.J. Chark: TD drought no more

    Chark caught six of 12 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-15 win over the Jets.

    Chark sealed the win with an eight-yard touchdown inside of five minutes to play. The touchdown was Chark's sixth of the season and first since Week 5. He also led the team in catches and targets. Up next for Chark is a Week 9 rematch with a Texans team against which he produced 55 yards and a touchdown back in Week 2.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    Jaguars' Chris Conley: Burns Jets for 70-yard score

    Cnley caught four of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-15 win over the Jets.

    Conley ripped off a 70-yard touchdown in the first quarter for his first trip to the end zone since Week 1. The big-play receiver has heated back up after a slump, topping 80 yards in consecutive games following a four-week stretch in which he totaled just 73 yards. Conley will look to keep rolling in Week 9 against the Texans.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Touchdown in two straight

    Beasley caught three of seven targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Philadelphia.

    Beasley hauled in a 14-yard touchdown in the second quarter. He's found the end zone in consecutive games but has exactly three receptions in each of his last three games after totaling 24 catches in his first four games with the Bills. The slot receiver will be looking to stretch his touchdown streak to three games in Week 9 against a Redskins defense that's surrendering 24.4 points per game.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Modest output in loss

    Godwin hauled in four of eight targets for 43 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-23 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    Godwin took a back seat to position mate Mike Evans on the afternoon, with the latter generating an eye-popping 11-198-2 line. Godwin did check in second to Evans in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but his three-game streak of 100-yard efforts was snapped. Despite the downturn Sunday, Godwin's fantasy stock naturally remains sky high heading into a favorable Week 9 matchup against the Seahawks secondary.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Snags three passes in loss

    Sutton caught three of six targets for 72 yards during Sunday's 15-13 loss in Indianapolis.

    Sutton came up big midway through the second quarter, catching a pass over the middle and stiff-arming his way for a 33-yard gain to set up a Denver field goal. Sutton looked comfortable in the undisputed WR1 role and Joe Flacco lamented after the game that the Broncos didn't give their sophomore target enough opportunities down the stretch. Denver's offense has been putrid this season, but Sutton has been a bright spot while averaging 16.3 yards per reception and recording a team-high three scores. Next up is a struggling Browns defense team that has been so-so in keeping opposing receivers in front of them this season.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Tramples Titans secondary in loss

    Evans secured 11 of 12 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 27-23 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    Evans easily led both teams with his reception, receiving yardage and target totals, as the Titans secondary consistently proved to be no match for him all afternoon. He made catches short and long throughout the contest, including a spectacular leaping 46-yard grab down the right sideline. Evans' two scores came from nine and two yards out, and he now has two multi-touchdown games on the campaign. He'll look to stay hot against the Seahawks in a Week 9 matchup.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Leads team in targets

    Robinson caught five passes for 62 yards in Chicago's 17-16 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Robinson could've had a pair of touchdowns, but the first didn't work out because the pass was thrown behind him, and on the second opportunity, he was dragged down by a defender for defensive pass interference in the end zone. Although he spent most of the day shadowed by Casey Hayward, he caught five of seven targets while posting at least 60 yards for the sixth time in seventh games, making him a rock-solid weekly lineup option.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Titans' Corey Davis: Alarmingly inefficient Week 8

    Davis caught two of six targets for nine receiving yards during Sunday's 27-23 win against the Buccaneers.

    The 24-year-old wideout was dealing with an illness leading into a Week 8 matchup against Tampa Bay's 32nd-ranked pass defense, perhaps explaining why he was unable to make any sort of substantial impact despite facing a somewhat lenient opponent. Davis' first start alongside Ryan Tannehill in Week 7 was extremely encouraging, as he racked up six catches for 80 yards and a touchdown, but in Week 8 he was contained to fewer than 40 receiving yards for the third time in his past four outings. Upcoming next is a matchup against a Panthers team that entered the weekend as one of the NFL's eight best pass defenses with just 225 yards allowed per game through the air.

  • Cardinals' Christian Kirk: Busy in return to action

    Kirk (ankle) secured eight of 11 targets for 79 yards and rushed once for 19 yards in the Cardinals' 31-9 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Kirk was Kyler Murray's favorite receiver in the wideout's return from a three-game absence, as he paced the Cardinals in both receptions and targets. Kirk now has double-digit looks in three of his first five games of the season, and Sunday's yardage tally was his second highest of the campaign, although it's certainly worth noting he's yet to find the end zone. Kirk will look to keep the momentum going against the 49ers in a Week 9 Thursday night battle.
