Ridley recorded 10 receptions on 15 targets for 143 yards in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.

The Titans have been doing everything they can to get Ridley the ball, but he entered Sunday's game with only three catches across 17 targets over the last two games. His outlook brightened in Sunday's loss thanks to big gains of 47 and 26 yards, and he showed at least some modest rapport with Mason Rudolph. Given the state of the Titans' offense, it's difficult to trust Ridley moving forward despite Sunday's positive outcome.

Meyers recorded six receptions on seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Meyers returned from a two-game absence and immediately led the Raiders in targets and receptions. He was heavily involved on the opening drive, converting a key first down with an 11-yard catch before finding the end zone from seven yards away. Meyers then tallied his longest catch of the day for 17 yards early in the second quarter, setting up a Las Vegas field goal. While his final stat line was modest, Meyers should dominate targets along with Brock Bowers moving forward.

Pearsall had four receptions on as many targets for 38 yards while adding a 39-yard rush in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys.

Pearsall followed his pro debut last week against Kansas City with 78 combined yards against Dallas on Sunday Night Football. The first-round rookie was more involved in his second game, garnering five touches after starting wideout Deebo Samuel (ribs) exited Sunday's victory for an already depleted receiver room. The 49ers will have the upcoming bye week to get healthy, so Pearsall may not be needed the way he was in Sunday's victory. That said, the rookie is worth a roster spot in most formats in the event San Francisco needs to rely on Pearsall following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury and Samuel's uncertain status for Nov. 10 against Tampa Bay.

Lamb caught 13 of 17 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

Lamb scored a seven-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to 30-17 in the fourth quarter, then produced catches of 21, 29 and 20 yards on three consecutive plays, the last of which was a touchdown to make it a one-score game before Dallas' comeback bid fizzled out. Prior to the late surge, Lamb was busy on short and intermediate routes, catching seven of eight targets for 48 yards before halftime. Lamb's up to four touchdowns heading into a Week 9 trip to Atlanta, and he finally has his first 100-yard receiving performance of 2024 after exceeding 100 receiving yards eight times and catching 12 touchdown passes during the 2023 regular season.

Raymond caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown while also notching a 90-yard punt return touchdown in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.

Raymond was expected to take on a larger offensive workload with Jameson Williams (suspension) unavailable, and he made the most of his limited touches in Week 8. The wide receiver opened the scoring in the second half, returning a punt for a score, before later adding a seven-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. Raymond will have one more opportunity to step up in the absence of Williams in Week 9 versus the Packers.

Bateman recorded one reception on five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Browns.

Bateman tied for second on the team in targets with Mark Andrews and Nelson Agholor, but it was a performance to forget. He struggled to get on the same page with Lamar Jackson throughout the game, which was illustrated by a drop on a deep target early in the fourth quarter that would have significantly improved his stat line. While it was an ugly showing for Bateman, he does have at least four targets in all but one game this season.

Carter caught a seven-yard pass in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Carter had a pair of three-catch games when Keenan Allen missed time in Weeks 2 and 3. However, since Allen returned to action, Carter has one catch over the last four games. Unless other Chicago wide receivers miss time, Carter is unlikely to post useful fantasy numbers.

Samuel (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, 49ers team reporter Lindsey Pallares reports.

Samuel had been playing effectively despite battling pneumonia over the week leading up to the game, but he injured his ribs in the second half. He caught four of seven targets for 71 yards while adding four rushing attempts for 15 yards prior to the injury. That production didn't include a 66-yard touchdown catch that was nullified by a holding penalty in the second quarter.

Moore caught two passes on four targets for 27 yards in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. He also rushed twice for seven yards.

Moore struggled in a game in which Caleb Williams completed just 10 passes. However, the receiver has been held to 27 or fewer receiving yards in three of the last four games. The pass catcher has one game this season with double-digit PPR points, and Moore is on pace for one of the worst seasons of his career.

Allen recorded two receptions on seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders.

Allen led the team with seven targets -- his highest mark since Week 1 -- a particularly notable total given that Caleb Williams took to the air only 24 times. His stat line left plenty to be desired, though he did manage a key 22-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to set up a go-ahead touchdown. Despite some reasons for optimism, Allen has yet to record more than 41 receiving yards in a game this season.
