Hubbard carried the ball three times for 14 yards and caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.

The touch and yardage totals were season lows for Hubbard, as he continues to see a massively reduced role with Rico Dowdle getting a look as the clear top option in the Carolina backfield. Hubbard might need an injury to Dowdle to have real fantasy relevance again, as he's managed only 32 scrimmage yards total over the last two games. Hubbard may not need a lot of touches to make a splash in Week 11 against a Falcons defense that just got torched by Jonathan Taylor for 244 rushing yards and three TDs.

Higgins was spotted with a brace on his leg following Baltimore's win over the Vikings on Sunday, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Higgins could be in danger of missing extended time due to the leg injury he sustained in the victory. The rookie undrafted free agent has played exclusively on special teams across the first eight games of the season.

Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts and each of his two extra-point tries during the Browns' 27-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Szmyt tied the game at 17-17 after connecting on a 45-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, and he followed that up with a 29-yard chip shot late in the fourth quarter to make it a one-score game. It was the third time this season that Szmyt made two or more field goals in a game, and he is now 12-for-15 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries through nine regular-season games.

Sanders caught all five of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to New Orleans.

It was the second-highest reception total of the season for the second-year tight end, after a 7-54-0 line in Week 2. Sanders is still looking for his first touchdown of 2025, and Carolina's limited passing attack might not give him many opportunities to end that drought. Sanders will take a 20-148-0 line on 25 targets through seven games into a Week 11 clash with the Falcons.

Amos (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Amos tweaked his ankle in the second quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Marshon Lattimore (knee) on injured reserve for the rest of the season, the Commanders will turn to Antonio Hamilton, Mike Sainristil or Noah Igbinoghene to fill in at outside corner for as long as Amos is out of the game.

Waddle brought in five of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Waddle led the Dolphins in receiving yards and targets in the upset victory, making a significant contribution in the form of a 38-yard touchdown grab on the first play of the second quarter. The veteran wideout unsurprisingly continues to enjoy a robust role following the season-ending knee injury to Tyreek Hill, recording at least five catches and 82 receiving yards in five of his last six games. Waddle will continue in an elevated role against a porous Commanders secondary in Madrid next Sunday.

Jefferson recorded four receptions on 12 targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.

Opportunity wasn't an issue for Jefferson, as he commanded a season-high 12 targets to lead the team. However, he couldn't get on the same page with J.J. McCarthy -- the Ravens had two interceptions when Jeefferson was targeted -- and his four receptions marked his fewest since Week 2. The duo was particularly poor on deep targets, as all of Jefferson's targets came in the short area of the field, with his longest gain going for just 11 yards. He has now been held below 50 receiving yards in three of McCarthy's four starts this season.

McMillan caught five of eight targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.

The rookie wideout continues to be the most reliable downfield option in an underpowered Panthers passing attack. McMillan has at least three receptions in every game so far this year, putting together a 46-618-2 line on 77 targets in nine contests. He'll look for his first TD since Week 6 in a Week 1 clash with the Falcons.

Dowdle carried the ball 18 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.

The yardage total was Dowdle's lowest since he took on a significant role in the Panthers' backfield in Week 5, but he did score his fifth rushing TD of the season on a five-yard dash in the first quarter for the team's only score. Over his last six games, Dowdle has piled up 705 rushing yards and four touchdowns while adding a 13-122-1 receiving line on 17 targets. He'll look to staying productive in Week 11 against the Falcons.

Sundell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Sundell suffered a knee injury in the second quarter, and his day has now officially come to a premature end. Olu Oluwatimi has taken over at center versus Arizona.
