  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: One catch versus Browns

    Douglas caught his only target for 44 yards and gained three yards on two carries in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

    Douglas, who was on the field for just 14 of 68 snaps on offense Sunday per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, was out-snapped in the contest by fellow WRs Kayshon Boutte (50), Mack Hollins (49), Stefon Diggs (35) and Kyle Williams (15). With a total of 14 catches on 24 targets for 162 yards and two TDs in eight games thus far, Douglas remains a hit-or-miss lineup option in deeper fantasy formats ahead of the Patriots' Week 9 contest versus Atlanta.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Finds end zone in win

    Bryant caught two of four targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys.

    Bryant's trip to the end zone was his first touchdown of his career, and he also earned four targets for the second straight week. The rookie wideout played 35 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, behind both Courtland Sutton (53) and Troy Franklin (40). Bryant has now played over 50 percent of snaps for the past four contests after failing to reach that mark in the first four weeks of the season. With fellow receiver Marvin Mims suffering a concussion late in the win over Dallas, it's possible Bryant will see his snap share continue to climb if Mims is forced to miss time. The 22-year-old Illinois product will look to take another step forward when the Broncos visit the Texans in Week 9.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Seven catches in Sunday's win

    Hollins caught all seven of his targets for a team-high 89 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

    After combining for five catches on six targets for 81 yards over his four previous games, Hollins -- who logged a 72 percent snap versus Cleveland -- topped those marks Sunday in his most productive outing of the season. While his Week 8 output was notable, with Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas also in the Patriots WR mix and Hunter Henry getting significant looks at tight end, Hollins' weekly volume figures to fluctuate, a context that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Logs 36 yards in Week 8

    Coker caught three of four targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

    Coker recorded his first three catches of the season Sunday after going without a reception in the Panthers' Week 7 win over the Jets. The 23-year-old logged 39 offensive snaps and served as Carolina's third wide receiver, playing behind Tetairoa McMillan (56 snaps) and Xavier Legette (53 snaps). Expect Coker to remain involved in the Panthers' offense heading into the Week 9 matchup against the Packers.

  • Panthers' Brycen Tremayne: Underwhelms again in Week 8

    Tremayne didn't draw a target while playing seven of the Panthers' 61 offensive snaps in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

    Tremayne has now gone without a target in three consecutive games after recording nine catches for 108 yards over Carolina's first five contests. The Stanford product's seven offensive snaps Sunday also marked his lowest total in a single game this season. His role on the Panthers' offense has diminished, and he's likely to contribute on special teams in the Week 9 matchup against the Packers.

  • Jamari Thrash WR | CLE

    Browns' Jamari Thrash: Logs two catches in loss

    Thrash caught two of three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Patriots in Week 8.

    Behind top wideout Jerry Jeudy, who isn't producing as a No. 1, Thrash (24 snaps) was among a group of receivers filling in for Cedric Tillman (hamstring), including Isaiah Bond (29 snaps, four targets, zero catches) and Gage Larvadain (28 snaps, zero targets). Tillman is eligible to return in Week 10 following Cleveland's bye, which would likely alter the pecking order and target opportunities for Thrash and the rest of WR room.

  • Jared Wayne WR | HOU

    Texans' Jared Wayne: Makes season debut

    Wayne caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-15 win over the 49ers.

    Wayne was elevated from the practice squad due to both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) being unavailable. He played 35 snaps, third-most among the wideouts, and recorded the first two receptions of his career after seeing action in three games during the regular season and one playoff game in 2024. He's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad on two more occasions this season while Collins and Kirk work their way back to full health.

  • Texans' Braxton Berrios: Increases production

    Berrios secured all five of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 26-15 win over the 49ers.

    Berrios was active for the second straight week as the Texans navigate injuries at receiver to Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring). His production against San Francisco was a vast improvement over the previous week, when Berrios caught one of three targets for minus-1 yard in a loss to the Seahawks. Another difference from Week 7 to 8 is that Berrios was replaced by Jaylin Noel as the team's punt returner. Berrios has extensive history as a returner and could eventually reclaim that role when Collins and Kirk are ready to go.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: Responsible for longest play

    Corley was not targeted, had one carry for 31 yards and returned five kickoffs for 112 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Patriots in Week 8.

    Corley was on the field for just four offensive snaps, but his 31-yard end around on the team's first possession immediately preceded Cleveland's first touchdown. It was club's longest play from scrimmage. He also took over the kick-return duties, which have been a revolving door since DeAndre Carter (knee) landed on injured reserve. The 32-year-old Carter is eligible to return following the team's Week 9 bye, but the 2-6 Browns would be better served by getting a look at their rookies and younger players.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Diminished snap count again

    Bond failed to secure any of his four targets in Sunday's 32-13 loss to New England in Week 8.

    Bond's 29 snaps were the second most among the wide receivers but also represented diminished playing time for the second consecutive game. He experienced an uptick between Weeks 2 and 6, getting on the field for 67 percent of the offensive snaps, and eventually settled in as the No. 2 wideout behind Jerry Jeudy when Cedric Tillman (hamstring) landed on injured reserve. However, Bond's snap share has dropped to 48 percent the last two weeks, during which he doesn't have a catch. Both Jamari Thrash (24 snaps) and Gage Larvadain (28) hovered in the same range as Bond against the Patriots, but the focus of the Cleveland passing game has shifted to tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin. Tillman is eligible to return following the Browns' Week 9 bye, which should reconfigure the depth chart, but the 2-6 squad will still need to see if Bond is a future piece of the puzzle on offense.
