Tutu Atwell WR | MIA
Rams' Tutu Atwell: Another one catch performance
Atwell caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.
As expected after last week's splits, Atwell served as a backup option to starters Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Demarcus Robinson. The speedy veteran did outsnap Tyler Johnson and Jordan Whittington, but the former ended up with the most production out of the trio, catching three of four targets for 25 yards. Atwell looks unlikely to break out of his rotational role with the Patriots on deck in Week 11.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Grabs one catch on MNF
Robinson had one reception (on five targets) for 23 yards in Monday's 23-15 loss to Miami.
Robinson overcame minor toe and hip injuries in order to suit up as the Rams' third receiver in Monday's defeat. The veteran wideout couldn't replicate his strong output from the previous two weeks with both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp active against the Dolphins. Expect Robinson to continue operating as Matthew Stafford's third or fourth option when the Rams visit the Patriots on Sunday.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Rams' Cooper Kupp: Clean receiving performance Monday
Kupp hauled in all seven of his targets for 80 yards in Monday's 23-15 loss to Miami.
Kupp turned in another efficient effort starting alongside fellow star wideout Puka Nacua. The 31-year-old Kupp continues to be the definition of consistency as he enters the later stages of his career, producing usable fantasy lines in four out of his five healthy appearances this season. Managers should continue starting Kupp with confidence as the Rams prepare to take on the Patriots in Week 11.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Paces pass catches in win
Waddle brought in three of six targets for 57 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.
Waddle tied Jonnu Smith for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. The fourth-year pro's yardage tally was his second highest of the season, with his 109-yard effort in Week 1 the only one to eclipse it. Waddle now has six targets in two of Tua Tagovailoa's first three games back from his IR stint, giving the wideout some momentum and an optimistic outlook heading into a Week 11 home matchup against the Raiders.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Leads team with 14 targets
Nacua finished with nine receptions (on 14 targets) for 98 yards in Sunday's 23-15 loss to Miami.
Nacua led all receivers in targets (14), receptions (nine) and yards (98) in his first game since getting ejected for throwing a punch in Week 9. The BYU product was as advertised, doing everything against the Dolphins but score his first touchdown of the season. With good health and any potential suspensions in the rearview mirror, Nacua makes for a fine play against the Patriots on Sunday.

Greg Dortch WR | DET
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Notches one reception Sunday
Dortch's sole catch went for minus-1 yard during Sunday's 31-6 victory against the Jets.
After being involved regularly in the Cardinals' passing game through four contests (15-131-0 on 20 targets), Dortch's production has fallen off significantly over the last six outings (7-56-1 on 13 targets). The offense revolves around RB James Conner, WR Marvin Harrison and TE Trey McBride, which doesn't leave much more than scraps for the remaining pass catchers. With a Week 11 bye on deck, Dortch's next opportunity arrives Sunday, Nov. 24 in Seattle.

Michael Wilson WR | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Makes mark in box score
Wilson gathered in three of four targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 31-6 win versus the Jets.
After getting blanked on one target during a Week 9 victory against the Bears, Wilson made a mark in the box score Sunday, but he still ranked fourth in targets among Cardinals behind WR Marvin Harrison, TE Trey McBride and RB James Conner, all of whom earned five each. All three at least doubled up Wilson's receiving yardage total as well, and Harrison was on the receiving end of Kyler Murray's only TD pass. Wilson hasn't surpassed 31 yards in five consecutive contests, leaving his fantasy value waning as Arizona enters its Week 11 bye.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Logs five touches in win
Hill secured three of four targets for 16 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for 11 yards in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.
Hill was a game-time decision due to a wrist injury, and although he was able to garner active status, he posted his second-lowest yardage total of the season and worst with Tua Tagovailoa as his starting quarterback. While the production was a notable drop-off from the 10-152-0 line he'd posted on 14 targets over the quarterback's first two games back from a concussion, Hill was able to prop up his fantasy night with a one-yard touchdown grab with 5:32 remaining in the third quarter, his first score since Week 1. Hill next takes aim at the vulnerable Raiders secondary in a Week 11 home matchup Sunday.

Bryce Oliver WR | TEN
Titans' Bryce Oliver: First catches of career
Oliver recorded two receptions on two targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Oliver was signed to the Titans' active roster ahead of Week 9, and he's been active for two games since. He's played a combined eight offensive snaps, though he did manage the first receptions of his career late in Tennessee's loss against the Chargers.

Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Titans' Tyler Boyd: No targets in loss
Boyd was not targeted in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Boyd was seemingly limited by a shoulder injury Week 9, which explained his low snap rate and lack of targets. However, he was back on the field for 61 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's loss, meaning his lack of involvement suggests he isn't a big part of Tennessee's game plan. Given that the Titans won't be contending for a playoff spot down the stretch, the team could continue to give younger players more opportunity across the second half of the season.
