  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Down game on SNF

    Meyers was held to two catches on as many targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.

    Meyers finished with two or fewer receptions for the third consecutive week following his blazing start to the season with Las Vegas. He was able to negate last week's dip in usage by scoring the first rushing touchdown of his career against the Giants, but there were no unexpected bonuses this time around. Meyers' recent slump roughly coincides with starter Jimmy Garoppolo getting hurt and eventually demoted to backup, as the two showed great chemistry earlier in the year after joining forces in Las Vegas this past offseason. That's not to say that Meyers can't develop a similar rapport with Aidan O'Connell over time, but until that happens, the wideout's fantasy value will continue taking hits until he shows more signs of life. That next opportunity will come against the Dolphins in Week 11.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Commands 13 targets on SNF

    Adams converted 13 targets into six receptions for 86 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.

    Adams finally returned to form after tallying just five receptions for 45 yards over his previous two starts. The superstar wideout led Las Vegas in every receiving category minus touchdowns, as the team's only TD went to rookie tight end Michael Mayer, who caught the only offensive touchdown from either side in the contest. Las Vegas' quarterback situation isn't ideal for a receiver of Adams' talent level, but he should continue receiving healthy target totals while developing chemistry with rookie starter Aidan O'Connell in the second half of the season. The starting QB/WR duo could find themselves busy if the Raiders hope to outscore Miami's high-flying offense next Sunday.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Modest numbers Sunday

    London caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Cardinals.

    The second-year wideout actually led Atlanta in receiving yards Sunday in his return from a one-game absence due to a minor groin issue while tying Kyle Pitts for the team lead in catches, as quarterbacks Taylor Heinicke (hamstring) and Desmond Ridder combined for a paltry 94 passing yards. London hasn't scored a TD since Week 4 and has topped 70 receiving yards only twice in nine games this season, but the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is still the team's biggest downfield threat. If the coaching staff uses next week's bye to fix some of the issues with the offense, London could benefit beginning with a Week 12 contest against the Saints.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Disappearing act continues

    Lazard caught one of five targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.

    Lazard was the intended target on Zach Wilson's red-zone interception with 1:22 left in the fourth quarter. The 27-year-old wide receiver has been held to fewer than 20 yards in three of the last four games. In Week 11, Lazard will face a Bills defense against which he had 46 receiving yards back in Week 11 -- his second-highest total of the season.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Cardinals' Marquise Brown: Contained to one catch Sunday

    Brown had a 28-yard catch on his four targets during Sunday's 25-23 victory over the Falcons.

    Otherwise, Brown made no other impact in the box score in a game in which the Cardinals welcomed back quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) for the first time in 11 months. In the eight outings in which Murray started and Brown was available last season, Brown put up a 53-565-3 line on 80 targets, including five performances of 60-plus receiving yards and at least six targets on each occasion. Sunday's chunk play is indicative that some chemistry still is there between Brown and Murray, and the wide receiver will seek out a better outcome next Sunday at Houston.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Targeted 14 times in Week 10

    Wilson caught nine of 14 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.

    Wilson was banged up throughout the game and spent some time talking to trainers on the sideline, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, but the star receiver managed to play through whatever was bothering him. He made a valiant leaping effort at Zach Wilson's Hail Mary attempt on the final play of the game, but the ball bounced away incomplete. Wilson has at least 12 targets and 80 receiving yards in each of the last four games, giving him a high floor heading into a Week 11 road game in Buffalo.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Huge numbers in Week 10 win

    St. Brown caught eight of nine targets for 156 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.

    He also chipped in nine rushing yards on two carries. St. Brown has reeled off four straight 100-yard performances and reached the century mark in six of eight games this season, and his 20-yard TD grab from Jared Goff in the third quarter was his fourth score of 2023. St. Brown will look to continue his streak Week 11 against the Bears.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Has three catches in return

    Wilson (shoulder) gathered in three of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 25-23 win over the Falcons.

    In his return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury, Wilson worked with quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) for the first time in his brief career, and the rookie third-round pick extended his streak with at least three catches to four games. Granted, the quartet of performances has resulted in only a 13-180-0 line on 21 targets, but with Murray under center moving forward, Wilson may have a chance for more consistent production on a weekly basis. Wilson next takes on the Texans on the road on Sunday, Nov. 19.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Held to 33 yards on eight targets

    McLaurin caught four of eight targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 29-26 loss to the Seahawks.

    McLaurin finished with his worst fantasy output since Week 1 when he had two catches for 31 yards against the Cardinals. The veteran starter averaged 5.6 receptions and 67.1 yards in the eight games bookended by his two sub 40-yard duds, numbers good enough to warrant a lineup spot in most fantasy formats. McLaurin's total production through 10 weeks sits at 51-601-2, putting him on pace for his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season. His next attempt to add to that total comes against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Rondale Moore WR | MIN

    Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Notches season-high five catches

    Moore recorded five catches (on eight targets) for 43 yards during Sunday's 25-23 victory versus the Falcons.

    With Kyler Murray (knee) back in action for the first time in 11 months, Moore was able to tally season highs in receptions, targets and receiving yards in the Cardinals' 10th game of the campaign. But for the third time this season, Moore didn't have a carry after having at least two in the other seven contests, which may become the norm with running back James Conner (knee) also in the fold. Still, with Murray directing the offense, Moore may have a path for more consistent results on a weekly basis, continuing next Sunday in Houston.
