Rice brought in four of seven targets for 80 yards while taking two carries for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Buffalo.

Rice extended his scoring streak to three games since returning from suspension in Week 7. The 25-year-old used his legs to hit pay dirt this time around after hauling in three touchdown receptions over his previous two contests. While the Chiefs were unable to claim victory over an AFC rival Sunday, Rice continued establishing himself as QB Patrick Mahomes' favorite weapon by finishing two targets ahead of Travis Kelce (4-66-0). Fantasy managers will be forced to fill Rice's WR1 production with Kansas City on a bye in Week 10. The red-hot wideout will resume play against the Broncos on Nov. 16.

Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Carlson missed his first extra-point attempt of the day wide right in the first quarter, which would prove to be costly later in the game. The kicker added his only field goal of the day in the third quarter, connecting on a chip-shot 24-yard attempt. Carlson has now gone 12-for-15 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 10 of 11 PATs over eight games this year.

Cooks tallied two receptions (on three targets) for 16 yards during Sunday's 34-10 loss against the Rams.

Cooks once again operated as the Saints' WR3, finishing tied with RB1 Alvin Kamara for fourth on the team in targets behind Rashid Shaheed (nine), Chris Olave (four) and tight end Juwan Johnson (four). Through nine games, the 32-year-old wideout has now averaged 2.1 catches for 18.3 receiving yards per game. Cooks has also yet to eclipse 26 yards in a game this season. New Orleans will next play at Carolina in Week 10 on Sunday.

Gano made one of two field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries Sunday in a loss to San Francisco.

Gano was wide left on a 45-yard try just before halftime to conclude an ugly first half for the Giants. He did manage to convert a chip-shot 22-yarder midway through the third quarter and made all three of his extra-point attempts. The field-goal miss was Gano's first of the campaign -- he had been 8-for-8 coming into Sunday, though he's missed four contests due to a groin injury.

Cook rushed for 114 yards on 27 carries while catching his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.

Cook set a new high-water mark for touches in a single game this season (28) while finishing with a game-high 125 yards from scrimmage. The talented rusher did all of the heavy lifting for the Bills between the 20s, allowing for backup Ty Johnson and QB Josh Allen to hit pay dirt on the ground Sunday. Cook entered Sunday's contest averaging a touchdown scored per game this season, so managers will have to live with "just" another 100-yard performance (his fifth on the year). Look for Cook to potentially get back into the scoring column against the Dolphins next Sunday after torching Miami's defense for 108 yards and a touchdown when these two teams met back in Week 3.

Vidal logged 12 rushes for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans. He did not catch his lone target.

Vidal's managers had high expectations entering this favorable matchup, but he instead might have ceded clear lead-back duties while Omarion Hampton (ankle) remains sidelined. Vidal led the Chargers backfield in carries 8-2 at halftime, but he was out-carried by Jarrett Patterson 7-4 over the final two quarters. While it's possible that had to do with game script, the Chargers only briefly held a two-score lead and Patterson was also more effective with his work. Vidal should remain in fantasy consideration so long as Hampton is out, but his role is a bit murkier moving forward.

Amos (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Seahawks.

Amos suffered an apparent hip injury in the first half, leaving his status up in the air for the game. In his absence, Jonathan Jones and Antonio Hamilton stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Seattle.

Borregales made his only field-goal try and went 3-for-3 on PATs in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

Borregales capped off the team's first possession of the second half with a 32-yard field goal, making at least one field goal for the fifth consecutive week. The kicker has settled in rather nicely in his rookie campaign, going 13-for-14 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making 24 of 26 extra-point tries over nine contests so far.

Hill compiled zero targets during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams. He also rushed four times for 30 yards.

Hill logged a team high and a season high in rushing yards, though nearly all of those yards came on his game-long 29-yard carry in the first quarter. The 35-year-old's final touch came when he was stopped for a one-yard loss on fourth down in the red zone. The Saints' offense has been extremely inefficient all season, and things didn't improve with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough making his first career start versus Los Angeles. Hill's lack of consistent touches and the continued struggles of this offense should continue to limit his production. New Orleans will next face off with the division-rival Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.

Neal accrued three carries for 11 yards and caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams.

Neal had only three fewer carries than RB1 Alvin Kamara, who was stymied for a season-low 14 rushing yards. Meanwhile, do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill finished with a team-high 30 rushing yards on four carries. New Orleans got dominated in just about every phase, leaving rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to attempt 24 passes compared to just 14 rushing attempts as a team. It's unclear how the rushing attempts would have been split up if there was a more normal game script for the Saints' offense. New Orleans will next play against the Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.
