Johnston caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

Johnston's four grabs marked a new personal single-game high through six games this season. One of the least efficient wideouts in the league, Johnston entered Sunday with just eight grabs for 165 yards on 22 targets. He hasn't been playable in fantasy football for weeks and will square off with a stingy Houston secondary in Week 9.

Burks (foot) caught three of five targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

Burks led the Commanders in receiving yards, with most of his team-high total coming on a 53-yard catch in the third quarter. He finished third on the team in targets, two behind Antonio Williams and one behind Stefon Diggs. Burks has 147 receiving yards over his last two games and is expected to work alongside Williams and Diggs in three-receiver formations moving forward as the Commanders play out the season without Terry McLaurin (knee). Washington's likely to fall behind in Week 9, which could lead to more targets for Burks, albeit against a tough Rams secondary.

Williams caught five of seven targets for 54 yards during Sunday night's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

Williams led the team in catches and targets while finishing second behind fellow wide receiver Treylon Burks (81) in receiving yards. With Terry McLaurin (knee) done for the year, Williams will have an opportunity to keep carving out a larger role for himself each week with Washington. On the year, the rookie wide receiver has now reeled in 23 of 33 targets for 259 yards and one touchdown over seven regular-season contests.

Williams caught an 18-yard touchdown on his lone target in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

Williams ran a total of one route on Geno Smith's 35 dropbacks against Las Vegas, but he made it count with a red-zone touchdown. The Jets' fourth receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper, Williams has no fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's date with the Chiefs.

Lemon caught six of nine targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

Lemon has stepped up as Philadelphia's de facto No. 1 receiver in the ongoing absences of DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle). After setting career highs across the board with seven catches for 67 yards and his first NFL touchdown on eight targets in Week 7 against the Cowboys, Lemon led the Eagles in catches, receiving yards and targets Sunday night. The rookie 20th overall pick is building momentum ahead of a Week 9 home game against the Giants, but his target share would likely drop if Smith gains clearance to return.

Diggs caught three of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Eagles.

Diggs scored an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and the ensuing PAT tied the score at 10-10. That was the team-leading fifth receiving touchdown for Diggs in six appearances with the Commanders. He's the top option for Jayden Daniels on paper since Terry McLaurin sustained a season-ending knee injury in Washington's previous game, though Treylon Burks (81) and Antonio Williams (54) both had more receiving yards Sunday, and Williams also drew one more target than Diggs to lead the team. Diggs is poised to maintain a prominent role in Week 9 against the stout Rams secondary.

Dotson caught two of five targets for 95 yards during Sunday's 16-0 loss to Tampa Bay.

Dotson and the rest of the Falcons offense were held in check for the majority of Sunday's loss. The wide receiver did provide Atlanta's biggest highlight play of the day, connecting with quarterback Michael Penix for a 76-yard gain on the team's final possession of the day in the fourth quarter. Dotson's 95 yards were a season high, and he has now reeled in 14 of 31 targets for 337 yards and two touchdowns over eight contests to open the 2026 regular season.

Williams caught his lone target for a 43-yard touchdown during Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins.

Williams made the most of his only touch in Week 8, scoring on a 43-yard deep ball from Drake Maye in the third quarter. The wide receiver had an opportunity to be more involved with A.J. Brown (knee) sidelined Sunday, but Williams saw just one target for the third game in a row. On the year, the wide receiver has now caught seven of 13 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns over eight regular-season contests.

Flournoy caught three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Cardinals.

Flournoy ran 26 routes on Dak Prescott's 38 dropbacks against Arizona, and with Dallas moving more toward three-wide sets and away from multiple tight-end sets while decreasing Jake Ferguson's (ankle) playing time, Flournoy has been a big beneficiary in recent weeks. Over the last four weeks, Flournoy has recorded 238 yards and two touchdowns on 18 grabs across 21 targets. He's achieved WR4 valuation in fantasy and would receive a major boost if CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens ever went down with an injury.

Nailor caught all four targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.

Both the catches and yards marked new season highs for Nailor, who entered Sunday with eight grabs for 75 yards and no touchdowns across six games. No team uses its receivers less than the Raiders, and Nailor accounted for four of the five targets between he and Tre Tucker against the Jets. Nailor has minimal fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's road date with the 49ers.
