Gipson rushed once for three yards and didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.

Gipson was shaken up at the end of his three-yard run so the Jets sent out D.J. Reed as their returner on the next of Jamie Gillan's 13 punts while Gipson recovered, but Gipson managed to return to the game. The rookie return man finished with three punt returns for 20 yards and one kickoff return for 22 yards in a game that featured 24 combined punts between the two teams.

Jeudy had two receptions on six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Chiefs.

Jeudy finished as Denver's top receiver despite registering his lowest reception total of the season. The 24-year-old made the most of his limited opportunities, reaching 50 receiving yards for the fifth time in seven active games this season. A lack of touchdowns was holding back Jeudy's fantasy value, but he finally got off the schneid in the upset victory over Kansas City. Jeudy will look to build off of his promising fantasy day when Denver returns from its bye to face Buffalo on Monday Night Football on Nov. 13.

Lockett recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Lockett's nine targets were surprisingly his second-highest total of the season, which allowed him to top 80 yards in a game for as many times on the campaign -- both of which came in his last three games. The highlight of his performance came on a 12-yard touchdown reception midway through the second quarter, his first time in the end zone since Week 2. When possible, the Seahawks try to run an offense centered on the ground game, which has served to limit Lockett's volume and production through seven contests. However, his performance Sunday showed that when Seattle is chasing points or in a tight game, Lockett is still capable of delivering solid fantasy performances.

Brown had six receptions on nine targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Ravens.

Brown was unable to break off one of his signature big plays against his former club Sunday, but he still delivered from a fantasy perspective via a short touchdown reception. It was the 26-year-old's fourth touchdown through eight weeks, already surpassing the mark he set over 12 games last year. Brown has been providing consistent value while serving as Joshua Dobbs' top receiving option this season. That said, Brown and the Cardinals will draw a tough road matchup against Cleveland's elite pass defense next Sunday.

Metcalf recorded five receptions on 14 targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Metcalf drew double-digit targets for the first time this season, though he still fell below 70 receiving yards for the third consecutive game. The highlight of his performance was a 43-yard grab late in the first quarter on a drive that ended with a field goal. While Metcalf was highly inefficient, he should have better results moving forward if he can regularly command targets at a higher clip.

Cooper recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Seahawks.

Cooper was the favorite target of PJ Walker and saw a season-high in targets -- the second time he's seen double-digit opportunities. Even with the backup quarterback, he was fairly efficient thanks to long receptions of 24, 22 and 20 yards. Cooper remains an inconsistent contributor, though he now has at least 80 yards in four of seven games on the campaign.

Palmer (knee) has returned to Sunday's game against the Bears, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Palmer had his right knee looked at in the blue medical tent after liming off the field in the first quarter but managed to return in the second quarter after getting the knee taped up. An injury to the same knee had limited his practice participation heading into Sunday's game, so Palmer's playing at less than full health but will try to tough it out.

Palmer limped off the field in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Bears while grabbing the same right knee that he hurt in his previous game against the Chiefs, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Palmer missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to the injury but managed to suit up Sunday after logging a limited session Friday. He caught two passes for 18 yards but stayed down after his second catch. Palmer eventually limped off the field and to the blue medical tent for further evaluation, but an official injury designation has yet to be provided by the team.

Boyd brought in all three targets for 40 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 16 yards in the Bengals' 31-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Boyd finished third in receiving yards on the afternoon behind position mates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and he also recorded his second touchdown of the campaign on a seven-yard grab in the first quarter. Boyd remains a clear complementary option as long as his two aforementioned teammates are healthy in front of him, but it's worth noting he'd logged at least seven targets in five consecutive contests prior to seeing that streak snapped Sunday.

Higgins brought in five of six targets for 69 yards in the Bengals' 31-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Higgins finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Ja'Marr Chase, with his catch and yardage totals also serving as his second-highest totals of the campaign. The fourth-year receiver's first half of the season has been marred by injury and some limited opportunity, but perhaps his best showing since Week 2 will propel him to even better numbers in a Week 9 home showdown against the Bills next Sunday night.
