Dorsett was on the field for 12 of a possible 71 snaps on offense in Sunday night's 31-17 win over the Packers.

Dorsett was predictably out-snapped by Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon and Chris Hogan, but he did manage to haul in all three of his targets Sunday for 30 yards. Dorsett's fantasy value remains limited, but if injuries hit the team's wideout corps down the road, he's capable of producing when given an expanded workload in the New England offense.

Pryor started and played 75 of a possible 91 offensive snaps (82 percent) in Sunday's 41-9 loss to the Bears, finishing with two receptions for 17 yards on five targets while losing a yard on his lone carry.

Despite having not played in a game since Oct. 14 while recovering from a groin tear that eventually prompted the Jets to release him, Pryor led all Bills wideouts in snap share in his team debut. The fact that Buffalo faced a 28-0 halftime deficit likely influenced coach Sean McDermott's decision to keep Pryor on the field throughout an otherwise meaningless second half, but there's reason to believe the 29-year-old will continue to see a substantial role moving forward. With Zay Jones having yet to develop into a reliable cog and the Bills' remaining depth options either lacking in upside (Andre Holmes) or extremely green (rookies Ray-Ray McCloud and Cam Phillips), Pryor's path to regular snaps doesn't seem impeded. The horrid state of the Bills' passing game, however, could significantly hinder his ability to provide useful production.

St. Brown caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

St. Brown operated as the Packers' fourth receiver Sunday with fellow wideout Geronimo Allison (hamstring/groin) sidelined, and although he was targeted four times during the 15 plays he was on the field for, he was only able to come up with the one short reception. St. Brown has shown some promise, but he hasn't been productive enough to do much for fantasy players, and he figures to move back down the depth chart again when Allison is able to return.

Cobb caught five passes for 24 yards on six targets in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Patriots.

Cobb's five receptions were his second most in a game this season, but his yardage total was also his second lowest of the five games he has played in 2018. The wideout was on the field for 76 percent of the Packers' plays Sunday after playing just 46 percent of the snaps the week prior, which is a sign he is putting his hamstring woes behind him. However, he now has just 116 yards and no scores over four games after putting up 142 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, so it's pretty tough for fantasy players to rely on him at the moment.

Valdes-Scantling caught three passes (six targets) for 101 yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Patriots.

Valdes-Scantling got the start with Geronimo Allison (hamstring/groin) sidelined, parlaying the opportunity into his second 100-yard game over the last three weeks. Randall Cobb was able to return from injury (six targets), and his presence could cut into Valdes-Scantling's recent run of production. That said, the 2018 fifth-round pick is clearly ahead of fellow rookie Equanimeous St. Brown on the depth chart, and he is making a strong case to stick ahead of both Cobb and Allison even after the receiving corps returns to full health. MVS's big-play ability (21.1 yards per catch) and rising trust with Aaron Rodgers makes him an appealing deep-league option Sunday against the Dolphins, but those in standard and PPR formats should be wary of the potential drop in targets if Allison returns to action.

Adams caught six passes (nine targets) for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Patriots.

Adams was unable to extend his streak of 100-plus yard games to four, but a trip to the end zone helped salvage an otherwise quiet night. The touchdown brought the 25-year-old's total up to seven on the year, putting him on pace to reach double digits in the category for the third consecutive year. With 730 receiving yards through eight games, Adams is on his way to realizing the bullish fantasy projections made for him this preseason. Miami's 23rd-ranked pass defense is on tap for Week 10.

Sutton recorded three receptions for 57 yards during Sunday's 19-17 defeat at the hands of the Texans.

The rookie second-rounder commanded five targets in his debut as the Broncos' No. 2 receiver, but his struggles with efficiency carried into Week 9 against Houston's top-12 pass defense. Sutton has posted a disappointingly low catch rate through the first nine games of his career (48 percent), but that should be expected based on the way Denver deploys the big-bodied receiver as a downfield weapon. The 6-foot-4 wideout has a catch of 20 or more yards in seven of nine appearances in 2018. When the Broncos take the field Nov. 18 following a bye week, that will come against the Chargers and a so far underperforming pass defense (bottom half of the league with over 255 yards allowed per game).

Jones secured both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to Minnesota.

Jones didn't enter the starting lineup despite Golden Tate's absence, as the Lions instead went with a two-tailback lineup with Theo Riddick and Kerryon Johnson to open the game. The Notre Dame product didn't see a huge uptick in targets, either, as the two looks he was given didn't even mark a season high. While Jones could see a heavier workload in future weeks, this first performance sans-Tate wasn't an encouraging sign for his impending fantasy production.

Williams caught a 30-yard touchdown in the 25-17 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Williams has turned his only catch into a touchdown in back-to-back weeks as the second-year receiver continues his surprisingly productive season. The lack of targets will continue to hold Williams back from emerging as a true fantasy asset, but owners could do worse when looking for a flex play, particularly next week against the struggling Raiders.

Woods caught five of nine targets for 71 yards and carried two times for an additional four yards during Sunday's 45-35 loss to the Saints.

Woods led the team in targets but failed to bring in a couple that could have turned into big gains. He also received multiple carries for the third time this season, though he was bottled up on both attempts. Woods still continued a remarkable run of consistency that has seen him post at least 70 receiving yards in each of his last eight games. Still, it's looking more like he will serve as the possession receiver when he, Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp are all healthy, which could limit his upside. Up next for Woods is a matchup with the Seahawks on Sunday.
