Tolbert caught two of five targets for two yards in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.

While rookie Jalen Brooks got a chance to shine in garbage time, catching all four of his targets for 39 yards, Tolbert had far less success and actually lost yards on one of his two grabs. The 2022 third-round pick has at least begun to see consistent volume, getting five targets in each of the last two games as the Dallas passing game opens up, but as long as CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks are healthy, Tolbert has a tough path to consistent fantasy value.

Brooks caught all four of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.

With KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) sidelined and the Cowboys in firm control all game, Brooks saw his first targets of the season and proved to be a reliable option for Dak Prescott. The 2023 seventh-round pick has only been active for three of nine games so far as a rookie, seeing 44 offensive snaps to 39 on special teams, and it would likely take multiple injuries ahead of him on the depth chart for Brooks to show up on the fantasy radar.

Gallup caught both his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.

The veteran wideout was on the other end of a 41-yard TD toss from Dak Prescott in the third quarter, which was the third of four touchdown passes on the day for the QB. The score was Gallup's first of the season, while the yardage total was his second highest of 2023, and he hasn't caught more than three passes in a game since Week 4. Despite Prescott's recent eruption -- he's thrown for over 1,000 yards over the last three contests -- Gallup still hasn't been prominently featured in the game plan, and he seems to be no better than Dallas' No. 4 option in the passing attack behind wide receiversCeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks and tight end Jake Ferguson.

Metchie caught both his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over Cincinnati.

Metchie was active after getting knocked out of last week's win over Tampa Bay with injured ribs. Houston's depth wideouts -- Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson -- are getting increased reps while injuries have hit the position, but that may change in Week 11 if Nico Collins (calf) is ready to return. Metchie has caught just nine of 10 targets for 111 yards through eight games this season.

Hutchinson did not catch his lone target and had one carry for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals in Week 10.

Hutchinson has received an uptick in usage while injuries have hit Houston's wide receivers the last few weeks, but he's made a bigger name for himself as a runner. For the second consecutive week, Hutchinson was used as a rusher on the opponent's side of the field and lugged the ball inside the 20-yard line. Each drive ended in a Houston touchdown. As the Texans operate without lead back Dameon Pierce, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik has involved wideouts in the running attack, including Hutchinson and Tank Dell. Hutchinson has four carries for 44 yards over the last four games.

Woods caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over Cincinnati.

Woods returned to action after missing two games with a foot injury. Through the first five weeks of the season the veteran wideout was a prominent option for rookie QB C.J. Stroud, averaging eight targets per game, but Tank Dell (14 targets, 56 yards) has since emerged as a short threat and Noah Brown (eight, 172) as a deep-ball target. The pecking order at wide receiver could be adjusted further at Woods' expense in Week 11 against the Cardinals if Nico Collins (calf) is ready to play.

Bobo caught two passes (two targets) for 13 yards in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.

The undrafted rookie logged 22 offensive snaps, ranking fourth among Seahawks receivers but still far behind fellow rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba (44). As long as Smith-Njigba, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are upright, Bobo won't have much fantasy appeal.

Proche did not catch his lone target and returned one punt for zero yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over Baltimore.

He was in the lineup for a second straight week as the Browns were without Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee), but Proche was on the field for just three offensive snaps. Sunday's target was his first of the season.

Smith-Njigba caught four of five targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.

After a slow start to the season, Smith-Njigba has been consistent over the past five weeks, averaging 52.6 receiving yards per game and totaling two touchdowns. The rookie first-round pick still hasn't put forth a true breakout performance -- 63 yards is his season high -- but it's encouraging that he's a steady part of the offense. The Seahawks will face the Rams' young secondary in Week 11, so Smith-Njigba will have a favorable matchup even if he's still the No. 3 receiving option behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Tillman did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Ravens.

For a second consecutive week, the rookie was a top-three wideout in terms of snaps (66, 85 percent), as Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee) were unavailable. Tillman's played a combined 120 snaps the last two games but has just four targets and one catch to show for it.
