Waddle caught three of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown and added a two-point conversion in Sunday's 28-24 win over Kansas City.

Despite the fact that the wideout is playing through a chest injury, Waddle came up big when it counted, connecting with Bo Nix on a one-yard TD in the second quarter before snagging a two-point conversion in the fourth as Denver mounted a comeback from a 24-13 deficit. Waddle's 29-315-2 line on 51 targets through his first eight games as a Bronco is disappointing, but he still has time to pick up the pace beginning with a Week 9 tilt against the Panthers.

Cooper did not garner a target during Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

Cooper entered Week 8 having topped 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in back-to-back games, so Sunday's performance was especially disappointing. The rookie wideout was overshadowed by Adonai Mitchell (7-142-1) and Garrett Wilson (6-83-0) in the game, and it'll be hard to predict his workload ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Chiefs.

Shakir caught five of six targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens.

Shakir initially appeared to get in the end zone for a six-yard touchdown early in the first quarter, but he was ruled out at the one-yard line after review. Josh Allen then punched in the one-yard touchdown two plays later. On the day, Shakir paced the Bills with his five grabs and tied for second on the team in targets, one behind DJ Moore. Shakir has yet to hit 100 yards in a game this season and has just one touchdown, settling in as a low-ceiling WR4 in fantasy, especially when both Moore and Dalton Kincaid are healthy.

Concepcion caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers.

After a breakout game last Sunday against the Titans, which saw Concepcion record eight grabs for 129 yards on 10 targets, the rookie wideout came crashing back down against a divisional foe. Concepcion's four targets were a distant fourth on the team behind Harold Fannin (12), Denzel Boston (11) and Dylan Sampson (eight), and his four looks were good for just a 10.3 percent target share. Concepcion will try to rebound next Sunday against the Saints, but he's shown little upside, with zero touchdowns and just two games with more than 50 receiving yards.

Downs caught four of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars.

Downs was able to reel in four or more passes for the fourth time this season and second time in the last three weeks. Downs was on the receiving end of the team's only score on the day, reeling in a six-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Jones in the third quarter for the wideout's first score of the year. Downs has now caught 30 of 51 targets for 330 yards and a touchdown over eight contests to open the 2026 campaign, and after he requested a trade this week, he may be wearing a new uniform the next time he appears in a game.

Metcalf brought in one of six targets for four yards in the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers put up a season low in completions, pass attempts, passing yards and completion percentage Sunday, and Metcalf's production was part of the collateral damage. The veteran wideout did see a team high in targets, but the fact he did next to nothing with them led to season lows in catches and receiving yards. Metcalf has had a handful of splash plays over the first half of the season and has two games of more than 90 receiving yards, but he's averaging a career-low 11.5 yards per reception and has just a single touchdown reception heading into the Week 9 bye.

Boston caught six of 11 targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers.

Boston entered Week 8 having caught just four of 13 targets for 42 yards over the previous two games, so Sunday's output was a step in the right direction. The wide receiver's 11 targets were a new career high, and he ranked second behind tight end Harold Fannin (12) in the category versus Pittsburgh. Boston has now reeled in 26 of 53 targets for 409 yards and three touchdowns over the first eight games of the 2026 campaign.

Addison caught three of eight targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions.

Addison's big play was a 51-yard catch over the top of the defense in the fourth quarter to set the offense up at the 10-yard line. T.J. Hockenson scored a go-ahead touchdown two plays later. Addison's eight targets on the day were one fewer than Justin Jefferson, but it was the former who paced the team in receiving yards. Playing in a Minnesota offense that doesn't push the ball down the field much or to its outside receivers, Addison has just 16 catches for 249 yards and one touchdown on 33 targets through six games this season. He'll be a WR4 with upside next Monday night against a leaky Bills secondary.

Robinson caught six of seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals. He also lost a fumble.

Robinson didn't experience a significant change in role in the absence of Carnell Tate (shoulder), as this was the fourth consecutive game in which Robinson notched either six or seven targets. His 57 receiving yards tied a season high, and Robinson scored his third touchdown of the season on a 15-yard catch in the fourth quarter. The Titans took a seven-point lead with 3:46 remaining after a successful two-point conversion following Robinson's TD, but the Bengals answered with a game-tying touchdown drive and eventually won in OT to drop the Titans to 1-7. Robinson and the Titans will be on bye in Week 9 before returning to action against the Jaguars in Week 10.

Worthy caught three of six targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Broncos.

Worthy put together another disappointing performance, reeling three passes while failing to exceed 15 receiving yards for the second straight game. The wide receiver operated in a more prominent role for a couple weeks with Rashee Rice sidelined with a hamstring injury, but Rice returned to action Sunday, reeling in seven of eight targets for 53 yards. Worthy will continue to be an unappealing fantasy option ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Jets.
