  • Noah Brown WR | WAS

    Texans' Noah Brown: Breaks out for career-best effort

    Brown brought in all six targets for 153 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Brown led the Texans in receiving yardage in the memorable victory, serving as the most prolific beneficiary of C.J. Stroud's record-setting 470-yard performance. The speedy veteran wideout garnered nearly half of his career-high yardage total on a 75-yard catch-and-run touchdown down the left sideline early in the third quarter, but his reception total was also a season high. Brown has multiple receptions in all four games he's suited up for this season, and now that he's clearly healthy, he could continue to carve out additional snaps as the current No. 3 receiver in the ongoing absence of Robert Woods (foot).

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Snags game-winning touchdown Sunday

    Dell secured six of 11 targets for 114 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed twice for two yards.

    The rookie wideout struck for big plays several times during the wild victory, including on a 29-yard touchdown reception just past the midway point of the third quarter. Dell also came alive on the game-winning drive with a clutch 26-yard sideline grab immediately before his game-winning 15-yard touchdown reception with six seconds remaining. The 100-yard effort was the second of Dell's nascent career, while the multi-touchdown tally was his first. Dell will look to put together a successful encore to his stellar effort in a Week 10 road matchup against the Bengals.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Browns' Amari Cooper: Stellar showing in Watson's return

    Cooper brought in all five targets for 139 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 27-0 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    With Deshaun Watson back under center and apparently healthy, Cooper was a prime beneficiary, recording a team-high receiving yardage tally that included his second touchdown of the campaign on an 11-yard grab in the second quarter. Cooper's yardage total was a season-high figure, and the performance was his third of over 100 yards this season. The veteran wideout's fantasy prospects appear bright the rest of the way if Watson remains healthy, but the entire Browns offense has an unenviable Week 10 road assignment against the Ravens.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Catches all targets

    Doubs caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Rams.

    Doubs hauled in everything thrown his way, including an important third-down catch during the fourth quarter. However, he failed to top 40 receiving yards for the fourth straight game. His stock has been dependent on touchdowns lately, yet Green Bay's offense struggles to consistently get into scoring position.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Finds end zone in Week 9 win

    Olave caught six of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Bears.

    Olave scored from eight yards out to tie the score at a touchdown apiece in the first quarter. In addition to catching his second touchdown of 2023, Olave finished with team-high totals in targets, catches and receiving yards while teammate Michael Thomas went without a catch on just one target. Heading into a Week 10 road game in Minnesota, Olave has caught 50 of 85 targets for 563 yards and two touchdowns, putting the 2022 first-round draft pick on pace for a second consecutive 1,000-yard season.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Struggles without Stafford

    Nacua caught three of seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Packers.

    Nacua has now failed to top 45 yards in three of his last four outings. Sunday's performance came with backup Brett Rypien under center, a development that resulted in merely 130 yards through the air for Los Angeles. Nacua's stock would figure to benefit if Matthew Stafford (thumb) is cleared to return following the Rams' Week 10 bye.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Quiet in defeat

    Kupp caught two of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Packers.

    Kupp struggled to make his usual impact with backup Brett Rypien under center and managing just 130 passing yards. However, with what is now three straight sub-50-yard performances, Kupp's performance level has hit a lull. He'll strive to bounce back once the Rams return from their bye week, which could coincide with Matthew Stafford (thumb) re-entering the lineup.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Exits late Sunday

    Watson suffered chest and back injuries and is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game versus the Rams.

    Watson connected with quarterback Jordan Love on a deep ball that the wide receiver had to go up for. At the end of the 37-yard play, Watson landed hard on his upper body and stayed down for a spell before making his way to the sideline. After he went to the locker room, the potential trio of health concerns were revealed.

  • Texans' John Metchie: Out for game

    Metchie is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a ribs injury.

    The wide receiver caught one pass for 14 yards before exiting. Metchie came into the game with six catches for 72 yards and no touchdowns on the season.

  • Browns' Marquise Goodwin: Ruled out with concussion

    Goodwin won't return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals after exiting in the third quarter following a concussion evaluation, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. He failed to record any receptions on two targets prior to his exit.

    Goodwin sustained the head injury after he appeared to take a shot to the helmet from a defender while he attempted to haul in a third-down pass from Deshaun Watson during the Browns' first possession of the second half. With David Bell (knee) inactive for the contest and Donovan Peoples-Jones having been shipped to Detroit ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, the Browns are left with Cedric Tillman and James Proche as their depth options at receiver behind starters Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore.
