Miller brought in both his targets for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-16 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Miller continued to hold down a serviceable role in the offense as the No. 4 receiver, and although he logged four fewer snaps than Breshad Perriman, he was the only one of the two to see any targets. Miller has produced four consecutive multi-catch games, but his upside is still limited as long as Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are healthy in front of him.

Smith caught six of eight targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders. He also lost a fumble.

Playing on his 24th birthday, Smith gave himself a reason to celebrate in the third quarter, finding the end zone from 11 yards out. While he enjoyed a productive night, the Eagles ultimately came away with their first loss of the season. His fumble came on the final play, as Smith's attempt at a lateral was scooped up by a defender and returned for a Washington touchdown. His inconsistent usage will make him a risky Week 11 fantasy option against the stout Colts secondary, though his ceiling remains high in the high-flying Eagles offense.

Samuel caught two of four targets for 28 yards and rushed four times for 12 yards in Monday's 32-21 win over Philadelphia.

Samuel's biggest contribution hardly registered in the box score, as it was only a one-yard run, but converted a fourth-and-1 deep in Eagles territory late in the first half. Washington went on to score a touchdown on that drive to take a 17-14 lead that the team never relinquished. This was the third consecutive week in which Samuel tied his season low with four targets after he had been thrown to at least eight times in five of the first seven games. While his rushing opportunities offer a nice bonus, Samuel does most of his damage through the air, and he'll look to carve out a larger role in that regard against the Texans in Week 11.

McLaurin caught eight of 11 targets for 128 yards in Monday's 32-21 win over Philadelphia.

McLaurin accounted for 76 of Taylor Heinicke's 145 passing yards in the first half and picked up where he left off in the third quarter, registering receptions of 11 and 41 yards in a three-play span to set up a field goal that put Washington up 23-14. Washington's playmaking defense held the fort from there. McLaurin set a new season high in receiving yards while topping 100 yards for the third time, and he should continue to work as the team's No. 1 wide receiver in Week 11 against the Texans. It remains to be seen whether Heinicke or Carson Wentz (finger) will start that game.

Anderson played just eight of 68 offensive snaps during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams.

A Week 9 game in which he earned 82 percent of the offensive snaps aside, Anderson has ranged between 10 and 18 percent in his other three appearances (12 percent Sunday) with Arizona since a trade from Carolina. In those four contests, he's gathered in just one of seven targets for minus-4 yards. With Zach Ertz (knee) out indefinitely, Anderson could begin to mix in more consistently behind DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore, but rookie tight end Trey McBride may be the best bet to inherit the available targets, at least as long as Marquise Brown (foot) is sidelined.

Brown caught one of four targets for seven yards in Monday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders.

Brown spent some time on the sideline after coming out of his break awkwardly on a route early in the game. He promptly returned but didn't seem to be 100 percent, which explains his lack of production against the mediocre Washington secondary. A tougher on-paper matchup awaits in Week 11 against the Colts, but Brown's ability to produce will be impacted more by his health than the opposition. He came into Monday with five touchdowns over the previous three games, and this was only his second game with fewer than 50 receiving yards as a member of the Eagles.

Kupp suffered a right high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Arizona, and the prognosis "doesn't sound good," Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.

The Rams had some optimism around Kupp's injury after initial tests revealed that he avoided a fractured ankle, but further examination revealed ligament damage. While a return timetable for the star wide receiver has yet to be established, high-ankle sprains typically take 4-to-6 weeks to recover from, and the Rams can ill afford to lose Kupp for that long considering they're on the verge of falling out of the playoff race at 3-6.

Watson is listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to an ankle issue.

So far this season, Watson has tended to knee, hamstring and head injuries, meaning this is a new health concern. He's coming off the best performance of his rookie campaign, as he hauled in four of eight targets for 107 yards and the first three touchdowns of his career during Sunday's overtime win over the Cowboys. With Romeo Doubs currently out due to a high-ankle sprain, Watson will continue to team with Allen Lazard (shoulder, LP on Monday) and Sammy Watkins as the top wide receivers for Aaron Rodgers (thumb, DNP on Monday) on Thursday against the Titans.

Lazard (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report.

Since sitting out Week 8 due to a shoulder issue, Lazard has been under practice limitations that now have continued into Week 11 prep. Still, he's handled snap shares of 87 and 98 percent the last two games en route to a cumulative 7-132-1 line on 14 targets. With Romeo Doubs sidelined due to a high-ankle sprain, Lazard will continue to be one of the top targets for quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb, DNP on Monday), assuming the duo are both active Thursday against the Titans.

Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Williams (ankle) is slated to return to practice this week, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Williams hasn't played since Week 7 due to a high right-ankle sprain, but the Chargers' Week 8 bye means he's missed just two games as a result of the health concern. Williams and Keenan Allen (hamstring) are in line to get back on the practice field, but it's unclear if they'll make enough progress to be able to suit up Sunday versus the Chiefs. Wednesday's injury report will reveal how much work, if any, Williams handled in the first session of Week 11 prep.
