  • Eagles' John Metchie: Zero targets in Week 8

    Metchie wasn't targeted a single time in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.

    Metchie did at least see the field for nine offensive snaps after going completely unused the week prior, but his role remains very minor. He's been targeted just four times all season.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Tallies 28 yards in defeat

    Austin secured four of six targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 35-25 loss to the Packers.

    Austin missed Pittsburgh's last two games due to a shoulder injury, but he played 78 percent of the team's offensive snaps in his return to the field Sunday, which ranked second among the team's wide receivers. However, DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson accounted for most of the Steelers' receiving yards Sunday, while Austin was held under 30 yards for the third time in his last four appearances. Austin has secured 14 of 23 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns over his first five outings in 2025.

  • Beaux Collins WR | NYG

    Giants' Beaux Collins: Makes one catch in Week 8 loss

    Collins recorded one reception on two targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Fellow receiver Darius Slayton returned from a two-game absence and started Sunday's contest, but Collins' involvement actually went up, not down. After logging a combined 10 offensive snaps the prior two weeks, Collins was on the field for 12 offensive snaps Sunday, representing a 23 percent offensive snap share. He ranked fourth in snap share among New York wideouts behind Wan'Dale Robinson (98 percent), Slayton (73 percent) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (63 percent), while Jalin Hyatt was a healthy inactive. Collins has moved above Hyatt in the pecking order, though Collins isn't a particularly viable fantasy asset while the other wide receivers ahead of him on the depth chart are healthy.

  • Packers' Savion Williams: Claims first NFL touchdown

    Williams took the field for 12 of the Packers' 64 snaps on offense and finished with a one-yard carry and an eight-yard touchdown reception on his lone target in Sunday's 35-25 win over the Steelers. He also returned four kickoffs for 97 yards.

    Williams' touchdown grab -- the first of his career -- came with 8:48 remaining in the third quarter and helped cut the Green Bay deficit to two points before the Packers ran away with the game in the fourth quarter. A 2025 third-round pick out of TCU, Williams boasts a big frame (6-foot-4, 222 pounds) and excellent size-adjusted athleticism (4.48-second 40-yard dash time), but he looks set to remain a situational player on offense during his rookie season. Instead, Williams is more likely to offer his biggest weekly contributions on kickoff returns, where he's averaging 25.6 yards per runback through seven games.

  • Darius Cooper WR | PHI

    Eagles' Darius Cooper: No looks as third wideout

    Cooper served as the Eagles' third wide receiver for Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants but did not receive a single target.

    Cooper's return from a shoulder injury was well-timed, as it gave the Eagles added wideout depth in the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring). While Cooper did see the field for 25 offensive snaps, Jalen Hurts didn't look his way with any of his 20 pass attempts. Even if Brown remains out following the team's Week 9 bye, Cooper's fantasy value will likely remain limited.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Expected to practice Wednesday

    Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Nacua (ankle) is expected to return to practice Wednesday, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

    Nacua appears on track to resume practicing for the first time since suffering a low left-ankle sprain Week 6 against the Ravens, lending optimism to the notion that he'll retake the field Sunday versus the Saints. Los Angeles is fresh off a Week 8 bye, which provided a crucial period for Nacua to rest up. While Nacua's status for Week 9 won't be made official until the team has had a chance to thoroughly monitor him in practice, the third-year wideout will be a must-start fantasy option as soon as he's cleared for game action, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that he's expected to suit up against New Orleans.

  • Skyy Moore WR | SF

    49ers' Skyy Moore: Splits snaps between offense and ST

    Moore failed to collect his only target on offense while returning two kicks for 52 yards in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Texans.

    Moore overcame a minor ankle injury early in the practice week in order to split his time evenly between the offense and special teams Sunday (nine snaps apiece). The return specialist has garnered four targets across eight appearances this season, rendering him useless outside of formats that incorporate return yardage. Expect Moore to continue acting as the 49ers' primary return man while running a handful of routes on offense until the team's receiver room returns to full strength.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Expected back after bye

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Tillman (hamstring) is expected to return to action after the team's Week 9 bye, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Tillman is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened, and assuming the Browns elect to do so in Week 10, the expectation is that he'll be ready to play in a Nov. 9 matchup with the Jets. For the time being, however, Tillman remains on injured reserve, where he's been since Week 4 due to a lingering hamstring injury. Across four appearances to begin the season,Tillman produced a 11-106-2 receiving line on 20 targets.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Gets time at receiver

    Dulin lost eight yards on his only reception in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.

    On the Colts' opening possession, Dulin ran backward on a short pass to dodge defenders, but his efforts proved unsuccessful as the Colts were forced to settle for a field goal when the drive stalled out. He finished the day with 13 snaps on offense, as Dulin got time late in the blowout win. Despite the relatively limited snap count, Dulin still saw the field more than Adonai Mitchell (nine snaps) and appears to be secure for now as the Colts' No. 4 wideout.

  • 49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Converts two-point attempt Sunday

    Robinson pulled in two of three targets for five yards while catching a successful two-point attempt in Sunday's 26-15 loss to Houston.

    Robinson's two-point conversion reception on San Francisco's final scoring drive was the highlight of yet another disappointing fantasy effort. The veteran wideout was on the field for 57 percent of the offense's snaps Sunday, but he still finished a distant third behind starters Jauan Jennings (85 percent) and Kendrick Bourne (79 percent). Robinson hasn't been able to carve out a significant role for a banged-up receiver room, and there's little evidence to suggest that his role will increase against the Giants next Sunday.
