Johnston secured four of five targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards.

Johnston comfortably led the Chargers in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets to Ladd McConkey. The highlight of the speedy second-year wideout's return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury was a 66-yard touchdown grab on busted coverage by the Browns in the second quarter, Johnston's fourth score of the season. Johnston's receiving yards were also a season high, affording plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

Lamb is dealing with an AC joint injury in his right shoulder following Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons, and he's scheduled to get an MRI on the injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed optimism that Lamb will be able to play through the injury, as Lamb returned against Atlanta after initially hurting his shoulder. Lamb finished the game with eight catches for 47 yards on 12 targets while adding two rushing attempts for 15 yards and catching a two-point conversion. The results of Lamb's MRI will determine whether he's in danger of sitting out against the Eagles in Week 10. Dallas' quarterback situation is also uncertain, as Dak Prescott (hamstring) is scheduled to get an MRI on his injury.

Meyers secured eight of 11 targets for 105 yards in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

The veteran wideout was the leader across the board for the Raiders' pass catchers despite middling quarterback play from both Gardner Minshew and Desmond Ridder. Meyers' reception, yardage and target totals were also all season-high figures, and he now has at least six receptions in four of the last five games. It remains to be seen what quarterback Meyers will work with in a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17 coming out of a Week 10 bye, but the sixth-year pro should remain the clear-cut leader of the wideout corps under any circumstance.

Sutton caught seven of 10 targets for 122 yards and threw a two-yard touchdown to Bo Nix in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.

The veteran wideout produced the Broncos' only TD of the afternoon, just not in the way anyone likely expected. Sutton has erupted for back-to-back 100-yard performances, posting a combined 15-222-0 line on 21 targets, and he'll try to get back into the end zone himself for the first time since Week 6 in next Sunday's road tilt against Kansas City.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Brown was deemed questionable to return around halftime, and he has been downgraded to out for the remainder of the game. Further updates on Brown's knee injury will likely surface after the game. The Eagles have two NFC East rivalry games in the next 11 days, as they will travel to Dallas in Week 10 before hosting the Commanders on Thursday, Nov. 14 in Week 11.

McCloud caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys. He added seven yards on his only carry.

It was the journeyman wideout's first TD of the season and just the second of his career. McCloud has already set a new personal best with 305 receiving yards on the year, and he's caught multiple passes in every game so far in 2024. His role in the Atlanta passing game could grow further in Week 10 if Drake London (hip) ends up being sidelined, but McCloud will still be an intriguing dart throw regardless against a reeling Saints defense.

Slayton has been placed in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Slayton was evaluated for a head injury late in the fourth quarter, and the tests revealed a concussion. The veteran wide receiver will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he can resume playing. Slayton's placement in concussion protocol could affect the interest in him from other teams prior to the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

Mooney caught five of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.

Drake London (hip) left the game after scoring a first-quarter TD, but Mooney stepped ably into the role of top target for Kirk Cousins, leading the Falcons in receiving yards on the day and capping his performance with a 36-yard score in the second quarter. Mooney has set a new career high with five touchdowns on the season, a total he could add to in Week 10 against a reeling Saints defense.

Nacua (knee) was ejected in the first half of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

After a pass intended for Nacua was intercepted, another Seattle defender came over to block Nacua as the Seahawks tried to set up a return. Nacua took exception as he had already touched the intercepting player down by contact, and the star receiver appeared to throw a punch at the player blocking him, resulting in the ejection. Prior to being ejected, Nacua had just one catch on four targets for 11 yards. A silver lining for Nacua is that he was able to play after aggravating a knee injury in practice Thursday, so he should be available in Week 10 against the Dolphins on MNF.

Brown left Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a knee injury.

Just before halftime, Brown was slow to get to his feet following a hit, and he didn't take the field for the second half, instead remaining in the locker room. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 9 with two catches (on four targets) for 36 yards. DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson are the current healthy wide receivers for the Eagles.
