Chark caught two of three targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Colts.

The 27-year-old wideout caught three or fewer passes for the fifth straight game and set a new season low in receiving yards as he continues to be a secondary piece of the Panthers' passing attack, but Chark managed to carve out a little fantasy value by catching his third TD of the season on a five-yard toss from Bryce Young in the third quarter. Chark's production might improve if veteran Andy Dalton took the reins of the offense -- he had his best game of the season in Week 3, delivering a 4-86-1 line on 11 targets from Dalton while Young was out with an ankle injury -- but a switch at QB isn't likely to happen on a short week as the Panthers get ready for a Thursday night clash with the Bears in Week 10.

Meyers caught two of five targets for 38 yards while scoring a 17-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

It was the first rushing touchdown of Meyers' career and also his longest carry on nine career attempts. The versatile wideout has now thrown, ran and caught a touchdown over the course of his five years in the league. The 27-year-old's six combined scores through eight games with Las Vegas already matches the high he set last season with New England when he had six scores over 14 games. The next stop for Meyers' breakout fantasy campaign will come in a home matchup against the Jets on Sunday Night Football in Week 10.

Thielen caught five of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Colts.

The veteran wideout posted his worst numbers since his Week 1 debut with the Panthers, as Thielen hadn't recorded fewer than seven catches, eight targets or 54 yards since then until Sunday's weak effort. Carolina coach Frank Reich appears committed to sticking with rookie Bryce Young under center, but it might be better for Thielen's production if veteran Andy Dalton took the reins of the offense. However, a switch isn't likely to happen on a short week as the Panthers get ready for a Thursday night clash with the Bears in Week 10.

Adams had four receptions on seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

Adams' recent woes in fantasy continued Sunday with another pedestrian receiving line, this time with new starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell under center. The rookie signal-caller performed adequately as the Raiders picked up the win in interim head coach Antonio Pierce's first game taking over for Josh McDaniels. Adams was left out of the party despite leading the team in targets, having to deal with double and even triple teams on occasion Sunday. The star receiver is averaging just 3.6 receptions and 35.2 receiving yards with no touchdowns over his last five appearances. Adams' cold stretch has stagnated his season line at 51-573-3 following a hot start to the fantasy campaign. The superstar's combination of talent and targets should keep him in fantasy starting lineups for next Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Mooney brought in five of six targets for 82 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Mooney got off to a fast start with a 13-yard reception on the Bears' first play from scrimmage and a game-high 38-yard grab on the last play of the opening period. The fourth-year speedster went on to set the pace in receiving yards for Chicago on the afternoon with a figure that also qualified as a season high. Mooney has a 12-203 line over his last four games after a four-game stretch during which he was blanked on three occasions, and he could have Justin Fields (thumb) back as his quarterback in a Week 10 home matchup against the Panthers on Thursday night.

Lockett recorded three catches on eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens.

Lockett was the most-targeted wide receiver in Seattle's offense, though his lack of production was indicative of the team's overall struggles. His biggest play of the day came on his first target, which went for an 18-yard gain. Lockett entered Sunday with more than 80 receiving yards in two of his previous three games, though he has also now been held under 40 yards in four of eight contests.

Pittman caught all eight of his targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Panthers.

The Colts never trailed in the game and led 20-3 at halftime, so there was little need for Gardner Minshew to air it out, but Pittman was his top option on the day and paced Indianapolis in catches, targets and receiving yards. Per Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star, Pittman exited the game in the second quarter to be checked for a concussion but quickly returned. The fourth-year wideout has caught at least eight passes in three of the last four games and six of nine on the season, putting him on track for the first campaign of his career with triple-digit receptions. Pittman should be productive again in Week 10 against a Patriots secondary that just gave up a combined 9-142-1 line on 15 targets to the Washington duo of Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson.

Godwin brought in two of six targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 39-37 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Godwin's output was disappointingly muted in the back-and-forth affair, with both his catch and yardage totals qualifying as season lows. The veteran receiver has topped 77 yards just once this season and has seen his totals decrease from that of the prior week in four consecutive games. Following Sunday's quiet afternoon, Godwin seemingly has nowhere to go but up in a Week 10 home matchup against a vulnerable Titans pass defense.

Metcalf recorded one reception on four targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 37-3 loss to Baltimore.

The Seahawks managed to generate only 158 passing yards, so Metcalf's yardage total was respectable. The bigger problem was his volume, as he managed only four targets as compared to seven for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and eight for Tyler Lockett. It was a disappointing step back after he commanded 23 targets across his previous two games combined. The good news is that Seattle is likely to be in a far more competitive matchup in Week 10 against Washington, which should help Metcalf's opportunity.

Addison recorded five receptions on seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Falcons.

Addison struggled to get going with either Joshua Dobbs or Jaren Hall (concussion) under center. He did make timely catches, including a 13-yard catch just before halftime to set up a touchdown for the Vikings as well as a 24-yard reception to get into Falcons territory on the game-winning touchdown drive. Addison's streak of four consecutive contests finding the end zone came to a close, but he'll maintain a significant role in the offense -- particularly as long as Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is sidelined.
