Johnson brought in four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Johnson finished a distant third on Tampa Bay in receiving yards and tied for third in targets, but he made a significant impact by recording 10- and 11-yard touchdown grabs in the second half. The rookie has scored his first four career TDs in the last four games, and he's drawn between five and nine targets in the last three contests. Johnson's elevated role should continue in a Week 11 road matchup against the Bills, considering Chris Godwin (fibula) is likely to remain sidelined alongside Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion).

Fitzgerald missed his lone field-goal attempt and made one extra point in the Panthers' loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Fitzgerald's miss came from 48 yards out toward the end of the third quarter, as the kick was blocked at the line of scrimmage. The rookie kicker has now made just 14 of 17 field-goal attempts and 15 of 18 extra-point tries through 10 games this season.

McCaffrey rushed 12 times for 30 yards and brought in eight of 10 targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

McCaffrey was stymied by the Rams' front seven Sunday, being held to a season-low 2.5 yards YPC in defeat. The dual-threat superstar managed to salvage his fantasy day with heavy involvement as a receiver, as he has done on multiple occasions this year. Change-of-pace back Brian Robinson (8-41-1) did just that on his eight carries, but this is still CMC's backfield for as many snaps he can handle. McCaffrey has a prime opportunity to correct his rushing woes next Sunday when San Francisco faces an Arizona defense that just surrendered 198 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Seattle in Week 10.

Mevis knocked down all six of his extra-point attempts in the Rams' 42-26 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Mevis was elevated from the practice squad Saturday to handle kicking duties after the Rams elected to make Joshua Karty inactive for the contest due to his struggles in the first half of the season. Though the Rams didn't turn to Mevis for any high-pressure kicks in his NFL debut, the 23-year-old converted on his six extra-point attempts without issue. Though Karty remains on the 53-man roster, Mevis is likely to get elevated from the practice squad once again to kick for the Rams in next Sunday's home game versus the Seahawks.

Pineiro did not attempt a field goal and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Pineiro went without a field goal for the second time in three weeks, and he had a PAT blocked in the fourth quarter, representing his first missed extra-point try since Week 2. The kicker is still a perfect 19-for-19 on field-goal attempts, including six makes from 50-plus yards, while converting 16 of 18 PATs over nine games with the 49ers this year.

Tucker rushed nine times for 53 yards and brought in one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Tucker finished with a team-high rushing yardage total, gaining 15 more yards than backfield mate Rachaad White on one fewer carry. Tucker notably has 21 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown over the last two games, compared to 73 yards on 23 carries for White in the same span. While the latter remains much more involved in the passing game, Tucker could continue to eat into White's workload on the ground in a Week 11 road matchup against a highly vulnerable Bills run defense, assuming Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) remains sidelined.

Williams recorded six receptions on seven targets for 119 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

Williams has had frustratingly low production for most of the season, though he managed to top 100 receiving yards for the second time while also finding the end zone for the second consecutive contest. His longest gain of the day came midway through the third quarter when he broke free over the middle of the field and sprinted down the sideline for 41 yards. Williams also tallied a 22-yard reception in addition to his 14-yard touchdown. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties for the game, which could bode well for Williams if Campbell retains the duties moving forward.

Myers converted all three of his field-goal attempts and five of five extra-point tries in the Seahawks' 44-22 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

It marked Myers' second game this season making eight kicks, as Myers accounted for 14 points in total Sunday against Arizona. On the season, Myers has drilled 17 of 21 field-goal attempts and all 32 of his extra points. The veteran kicker will go on the road to face the Rams in Week 11.

Bates went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made made three of four PATs in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

Bates was able to convert a 22-yard field goal late in the second quarter before later adding makes from 28 and 48 yards in the second half. The performance marked the first time this season that he's made three field goals in a contest. Bates has now gone 12-for-16 on field-goal tries over nine games this season.

Williams brought in one of two targets for a 72-yard touchdown in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Williams was due for some added opportunity because of the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), and the rookie third-round pick cashed in with a 72-yard scoring grab down the right side on the last play of the first quarter during which he showed off his elite speed. The catch was Williams' first since Week 3, while the score was his first in the NFL. Williams could continue to see a bump in snaps during a Week 11 home matchup against the Jets on Thursday night, given the likelihood Boutte remains out due to the short turnaround.
