  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Spectacular effort in Week 10 win

    Robinson (groin) brought in six of eight targets for 133 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 34-22 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Robinson made a splash in his return from a two-game absence, generating a season high in receiving yards while also scoring multiple touchdowns for the first time in a Bears uniform. The 25-year-old looked to be at full health while hauling in 36- and 26-yard scoring throws from Mitchell Trubisky, an encouraging sign for both the Bears and fantasy owners. Robinson will look to put together a successful encore against the Vikings in a big Week 11 divisional clash.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Limited to 51 yards in loss

    Evans caught three of six passes for 51 yards during Sunday's 16-3 loss to Washington.

    Evans made a couple of highlight-reel catches Sunday, including a falling 23-yard completion in the third quarter that required Evans to go back across his body for the grab. Still, Sunday ended with Evans being held under 60 yards for the fourth time in six games. Although there are two really nice performances sandwiched in between, the star receiver has scored just once after finding the end zone in three straight contests to start the season. Tampa Bay figures to keep pushing the ball downfield, and considering Evans is the team's most-targeted option by a sizable margin, it's probably worth riding it out with him. Next up in Week 11 is an average Giants pass defense giving up 244 yards per game.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Held to three catches against Saints

    Boyd was held to three catches for 65 yards on four targets in the Bengals' loss to the Saints.

    Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was under pressure most of the day and was sacked four times, which limited the time Boyd had to get open in this one. It doesn't figure to get any easier for Boyd next week in Baltimore.

  • Saints' Michael Thomas: Snags every target in win

    Thomas caught all eight of his targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 51-14 win over Cincinnati.

    Thomas got most of his work in during the Saints' 15-play opening drive, catching four passes for 37 yards -- including a seven-yard-touchdown catch that required the young target to dive back toward the front pylon. There has been a lot of interest in who the Saints can line up opposite Thomas with Ted Ginn Jr. (knee), Cam Meredith (knee), and newly-acquired Dez Bryant (Achilles) all on the shelf. Sunday showed that the Saints can hum along nicely with Thomas as the go-to target, complemented with a talented backfield. Don't expect that to change in Week 11, when the Saints take on a bottom-10 Philadelphia pass defense that's giving up 269 yards per game entering Week 10 action.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Finds end zone twice in Week 10 win

    Hill brought in seven of 10 targets for 117 yards and two touchdowns and also added 20 yards on his sole rush in the Chiefs' 26-14 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He netted zero yards on his two punt returns.

    With Sammy Watkins (foot) inactive, Hill unsurprisingly led the Chiefs in targets and parlayed the extra volume into his third 100-yard game of the season and first since Week 6, which also marked his last multi-touchdown game prior to Sunday. Hill's seven receptions were also his most since Week 7, making it a particularly fruitful fantasy performance. The 24-year-old phenom will now set his sights on a marquee Week 11 Monday night matchup versus the Rams in Mexico City.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Lions' Marvin Jones: Picks up knee injury Sunday

    Jones (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Chicago, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    The Lions picked up injuries to offensive stalwarts in the second half of this game -- also, running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) -- leaving the team woefully thin at the skill positions. If Jones remains sidelined, Detroit's wideout group will be whittled down to Kenny Golladay, TJ Jones and Brandon Powell.

  • Packers' Equanimeous St. Brown: Slated to start Sunday

    St. Brown is expected to start Sunday's game versus the Dolphins with Randall Cobb (hamstring) inactive.

    The Packers' passing attack is without regulars Geronimo Allison (groin) for the rest of the season and Cobb this week, leaving less competition than normal for snaps. Working behind Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jimmy Graham, St. Brown will have an opportunity to get in on the act. Over the last four games, St. Brown has averaged 11.9 YPT on 12 targets but hasn't reached the end zone in his brief career.

  • Jakeem Grant WR | ATL

    Dolphins' Jakeem Grant: Cleared to play Week 10

    Grant (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Grant has been bothered by the Achilles injury for a few weeks, but it has yet to force him to miss any game action. Though the wideout will be available Sunday, he'll likely take a backseat in the Dolphins' passing attack to the likes of Danny Amendola, Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker. Grant played one more snap than Stills did in the Week 9 win over the Jets, but it's worth noting that Stills' workload was likely limited coming off a groin injury.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Packers' Randall Cobb: Not playing Sunday

    Cobb (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    With two games in the span of five days, the Packers are giving Cobb the day off due to the hamstring injury that forced absences Weeks 4-6. Cobb will look to gain clearance for Thursday's visit to Seattle, but before then Aaron Rodgers will lean on the pass-catching trio of Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jimmy Graham. If in search of a bye-week fill-in, Equanimeous St. Brown also should experience an uptick in usage with Cobb out of the lineup.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    Chiefs' Chris Conley: Enters starting ranks in Week 10

    Conley will join Tyreek Hill in the starting lineup at wide receiver Sunday against the Cardinals with Sammy Watkins (foot) inactive for the contest, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    The Chiefs don't typically make extensive use of fullback Anthony Sherman or two-tight-end sets, so Watkins' absence won't necessarily translate to a huge bump in snaps for Conley, who has already been regularly featured in three-wideout formations. However, Watkins was drawing six targets per game through the first nine weeks, so Conley should benefit from a slight bump in volume Sunday. Additionally, Hill, tight ends Travis Kelce and Demetrius Harris and running back Kareem Hunt could also make up for the loss of Watkins, to varying degrees.
