  • Deebo Samuel WR | WAS

    49ers' Deebo Samuel: Takes eight touches for 76 yards

    Samuel (hip/oblique) corralled five of six targets for 62 yards and added 14 rushing yards on three attempts in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    Samuel used the 49ers' recent bye week to heal up from a pair of injuries sustained in a Week 8 win over Dallas on Oct. 27. The dual-threat superstar took eight touches for a combined 76 yards for fantasy managers Sunday. Assuming he escaped this contest unscathed, Samuel should continue to be a focal point on offense for San Francisco in a crucial NFC West battle against the Seahawks next Sunday.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Leading receiver Sunday

    Jennings (hip) finished with seven receptions (11 targets) for 93 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.

    Jennings returned from a two-game absence (three weeks including the bye) and wound up leading the 49ers in receiving yards. The veteran slot man was also elevated to No. 2 on the depth chart following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury, which occurred in the same contest Jennings suffered his hip injury. With good health and a larger role on offense, Jennings is looking like a hot pickup in fantasy for the second time this campaign. The 26-year-old can be considered a strong flex option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Seattle.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Panthers' David Moore: Quiet in Week 10

    Moore caught two of his four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Giants.

    The veteran wideout's production hasn't increased despite more opportunities following Diontae Johnson's trade to the Ravens on Oct. 29. Moore has now caught just four of his eight targets for 28 yards across Carolina's last two games. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) expected to return from injured reserve in the near future, Moore will likely be demoted to the Panthers' No. 4 wide receiver spot.

  • Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Healthy scratch Sunday

    Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Just five days removed from getting traded from Carolina to Dallas, Mingo won't be available in his first chance with his new squad. The acclimation process could take some time, but the Cowboys also are in some limbo with QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely to undergo season-ending surgery. Cooper Rush is taking over for Prescott under center, and top WR CeeDee Lamb is playing through a shoulder injury, so Mingo may not have to wait long for his next game action if the team turns its focus toward the future.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Tallies 51 yards

    Robinson recorded five receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers.

    Robinson was a key part of the Giants' offense, commanding at least eight targets for the seventh time this season. The difference in Sunday's performance was his ability to make some big plays, as his 23-yard catch and run early in the fourth quarter was only his second reception of at least 20 yards on the campaign. Robinson should remain involved moving forward, though his upside will be limited due to his role in one of the least explosive offenses in the league.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Targeted 10 times

    Nabers recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one rush for minus-2 yards.

    Daniel Jones had only 54 passing yards at halftime, which predictably affected all of the Giants' pass catchers. Nabers managed to salvage his day in the second half while being primarily used in the short areas of the field, though he did pop a long catch of 19 yards early in the fourth quarter. He was also forced to miss a significant amount of the final quarter while undergoing a concussion evaluation, though he did return to the field. Nabers has now topped 60 yards only once in his last four games, though he has double-digit targets in each of his last three contests and will remain the focal point of New York's offense.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Three grabs in Germany win

    Legette secured three of four targets for 40 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday.

    Legette tied Jalen Coker for the team lead in receptions while falling just a yard short of his teammate's team-high figure in that category. Legette has been busy during Bryce Young's current three-game starting stint -- the wideout now sports an 11-117-2 line in that span -- and he should continue enjoying a steady role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, even if Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) returns for that contest.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Team-high yardage total in OT win

    Coker brought in three of eight targets for 41 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday.

    Coker's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Panthers on the day, as did his career-high target tally. The undrafted rookie has displayed good chemistry with Bryce Young and is now boasting a 9-155-1 line on 17 targets in the latter's three-game starting stint. With Diontae Johnson now in Baltimore, Coker should continue to enjoy a prominent role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, although Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) is expected back for that game.

  • Devin Duvernay WR | ARI

    Jaguars' Devin Duvernay: Cleared to play Sunday

    Duvernay (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Duvernay will suit up for the first time since Week 5 after he completed a four-game stint on injured reserve while he recovered from a hamstring strain. In his first five outings with the Jaguars, Duvernay drew just one target and carried three times for 10 yards, but he could see his role on offense expand a bit after fellow wideout Christian Kirk (collarbone) suffered a season-ending injury Week 8. Even if that comes to fruition, Duvernay is still expected to deliver his greatest impact in the return game.

  • K.J. Osborn WR | TEN

    Patriots' K.J. Osborn: Back in lineup Sunday

    Osborn is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Osborn was a healthy scratch in Week 9, but following the NFL trade deadline he remains in the Patriots' wideout mix. However, with DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne likely slated to lead the team's Week 10 WR corps, Osborn isn't a high-percentage fantasy option.
