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.

Brown secured four of eight targets for 28 yards in the Cardinals' 27-0 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

The Cardinals' top pass-catching target did lead the team in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, but his numbers remained modest overall while working with frequently overwhelmed rookie fifth-round pick Clayton Tune as his quarterback. However, better days could be ahead as early as next Sunday, with Brown likely to get Kyler Murray (knee) back as his quarterback for a Week 10 matchup against the Falcons unless Arizona opts to let the star signal-caller's 21-day practice window expire without activating him at the end of the week.

Moore secured three of five targets for 55 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

It was a ragged day all the way around for the normally reliable receiver, who finished behind both Cole Kmet and Darnell Mooney in receptions while also losing a fumble in Bears territory early in the third quarter that led to a Saints field goal. Moore has now been under the 100-yard mark in four consecutive contests after a stellar two-game stretch in Weeks 4 and 5, but he could have Justin Fields (thumb) back under center in a Week 10 home matchup against the Panthers on Thursday night.

Douglas caught five of seven targets for 55 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Commanders.

Douglas led the Patriots in receiving yards while tying Hunter Henry and JuJu Smith-Schuster for the team lead in targets. With Kendrick Bourne (knee) done for the season, Douglas has become New England's top receiver on the outside, at least until DeVante Parker (concussion) returns. Douglas has 20 targets over the past three games, but the 2023 sixth-round draft pick is still searching for his first NFL touchdown heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Colts in Frankfurt.

Evans secured four of five targets for 87 yards in the Buccaneers' 39-37 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

Evans led the Buccaneers in receiving yards on the afternoon, but his volume was down overall on a day when Baker Mayfield spread the around to seven targets. The veteran wideout gained a big chunk of his yards on a 53-yard grab in the fourth quarter that was originally ruled a touchdown before replay determined Evans had been down before breaking the plane of the goal line. Evans' yardage total was his highest since Week 2, and although his two-game touchdown streak was narrowly snapped, he could have a good chance of getting back in the end zone in a favorable Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

Collins brought in three of five targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

It's difficult to believe Collins accrued only 54 yards and five targets on an afternoon during which C.J. Stroud threw for a rookie-record 470 yards on 42 attempts, but the third-year pro played second fiddle to a number of his pass-catching teammates. Nevertheless, Collins was able to salvage his fantasy day with a 14-yard scoring grab in the first quarter, his fourth touchdown of the season. Collins will look to boost his numbers in a Week 10 road matchup against the Bengals that should serve as another good test for Stroud and the Texans' young offense.

Downs suffered a knee injury during Sunday's contest at Carolina, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Prior to his departure, Downs gathered in his only target for 10 yards. As long as Downs is sidelined, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Isaiah McKenzie and Juwann Winfree will be the Colts' options at wide receiver.

Dotson caught four of eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Patriots.

Dotson tied the score at 17-17 with a 33-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. He led the Commanders in targets while finishing one catch and four receiving yards shy of Terry McLaurin's team-leading totals. After posting just 183 yards and one touchdown through seven games, Dotson has 177 yards and two touchdowns in his last two. He'll look to stay hot in Week 10 against the Seahawks.

Watson (upper body) caught one of two targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Rams.

Watson's lone reception was a huge play late in Sunday's contest, as he came down with a leaping, contested catch for Green Bay's longest gain of the game. After his acrobatic effort, however, Watson was shaken up and subsequently sent to the locker room with what were labeled chest and back injuries. Watson was also set to undergo a concussion evaluation, leaving his status to be monitored in the coming days.

McLaurin caught five of seven targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Patriots.

McLaurin was quiet for most of the afternoon but made catches of 26 and 36 yards on consecutive plays to set up a go-ahead field goal in the third quarter. That turned out to be the game-winning field goal, as neither team scored in the fourth quarter. Those two catches helped McLaurin post team-high totals in receptions and receiving yards while finishing one target shy of Jahan Dotson's team-best total. With quarterback Sam Howell having topped 300 passing yards in each of the last two games, McLaurin and the rest of Washington's passing game have built up some momentum heading into a Week 10 road game in Seattle.
