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.

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.
