  • Commanders' Jamison Crowder: Targeted once

    Crowder was held without a catch on one target in Sunday's 29-26 loss at Seattle.

    Curtis Samuel's return from a foot injury dropped Crowder to 10 percent snap share and meant his main role was returning punts. It'll likely be a similar story Week 11 against the Giants, and there's not much upside for Crowder even if Samuel misses more time down the road, given that Dyami Brown also helped fill the gap during Samuel's recent absence.

  • Curtis Samuel WR | BUF

    Commanders' Curtis Samuel: Struggles in return

    Samuel caught two of six targets for six yards in a 29-26 loss at Seattle on Sunday

    Samuel returned to the No. 3 WR role after missing the previous game and a half with toe/foot injuries, though his 51 percent snap share Sunday was somewhat lower than usual (he landed between 55 and 74 percent each of the first seven weeks of the season). He has just four rushing attempts all year and is averaging 5.4 targets per game and 6.9 yards per target, making him a suboptimal fantasy option even with a friendly matchup ahead in Week 11 against the struggling Giants.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | ATL

    Commanders' Jahan Dotson: Finishes with goose egg

    Dotson was held without a catch on two targets in a 29-26 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Dotson broke out of a pronged slump with 10 catches for 177 yards and two TDs on 18 targets over the previous two weeks, but it's hard to find a silver lining for his goose egg Sunday in a game that saw QB Sam Howell throw for over 300 yards. The second-year wideout handled his usual role in terms of snap share (87 percent) and simply couldn't get anything done against one of the better CB groups in the league. Dotson gets a much better matchup in Week 11, facing the Giants at home, but it's tough to trust him in fantasy lineups given his overall averages of 3.4 catches for 36.0 yards and 0.3 TDs on 5.9 targets per game. He's fallen shy of double-digit PPR points in each of the seven games in which he didn't score a touchdown, and his catch rate (57.6 percent) is nearly identical to last season's despite his aDOT dropping from 13.5 to 9.5 and his yards per reception sliding from 14.9 to 10.6.

  • Chris Moore WR | WAS

    Titans' Chris Moore: Two catches in loss

    Moore recorded two receptions on four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Moore managed his highest target total of the season, though that didn't change his level of production. He's failed to top 30 yards in five consecutive games and has a combined seven targets in that span.

  • Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Another quiet performance

    Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one reception on four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Will Levis struggled to accurately deliver passes throughout the game, hurting the production of all Tennessee pass catchers. Westbrook-Ikhine was no different, as he was held to only one catch for the third consecutive contest. Overall, he's managed to top 30 receiving yards only three times in nine opportunities this season.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Only 35 yards in victory

    Jeudy recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 35 yards in Monday's 24-22 win over the Bills.

    Denver's offense was keyed by the rushing attack, limiting the volume of all pass catchers except Courtland Sutton. Jeudy put up an uninspiring stat line as a result, though he contributed significantly to the win by drawing a 28-yard pass interference penalty with 35 seconds remaining in the contest to set up the game-winning field goal. Overall, Jeudy was held under 50 receiving yards for the third time this season and for the second time in his last four games.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: Team-high yardage tally in loss

    Davis brought in two of six targets for 56 yards in the Bills' 24-22 loss to the Broncos on Monday night. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

    Davis' yardage total, relatively modest as it was, still served as a team-high figure on a night when Josh Allen threw for only 177 yards. The speedy wideout also recorded the longest gain of the night through the air for Buffalo in the form via a 38-yard grab, and he managed to give a minor boost to his fantasy production with his two-point conversion catch following Dalton Kincaid's second-quarter touchdown. Davis' numbers have fluctuated significantly over the last four games, as he posted just one reception for six yards on seven targets in Weeks 7 and 9, forgettable performances he sandwiched around a 9-87-1 line in Week 8 against the Buccaneers.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Scores in fourth straight

    Sutton recorded eight receptions (on 11 targets) for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-22 win over the Bills.

    Sutton remained Russell Wilson's favorite target, as no other pass catcher on the team saw more than four opportunities. Even with a long gain of 30 yards, Sutton managed to average only 6.6 yards per catch. He overcame the lack of big-play ability with a spectacular toe-tapping, seven-yard touchdown reception midway through the first quarter. Sutton now has found the end zone in four consecutive games but has topped 50 receiving yards only twice in that span.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Shut down by Broncos in loss

    Diggs secured three of five targets for 34 yards in the Bills' 24-22 loss to the Broncos on Monday.

    Diggs was second in receptions and targets and third in receiving yards for the Bills on the night, an unfamiliar position for the typically prolific wideout. The three figures were also season lows for Diggs, who'd been on an upward trajectory yardage-wise heading into the contest with 70- and 86-yard tallies in Weeks 9 and 10. Diggs will aim to bounce back in a Week 11 rematch against a Jets team that he posted a 10-102-1 line on in a Week 1 overtime loss.

  • Buccaneers' Deven Thompkins: Gets back on stat sheet in win

    Thompkins rushed once for five yards and brought in one of two targets for five yards in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 15 yards.

    Thompkins was able to record an offensive stat for the first time since Week 7, even as he logged only two touches from scrimmage. His 15 snaps once again outpaced fellow reserve receiver Rakim Jarrett by just one, but Thompkins was the only one of the two to record any offensive stats. Despite the cameo appearance from scrimmage Sunday, Thompkins' fantasy value remains virtually non-existent as long as the Buccaneers' receiving corps is at full health.
