Kirk brought in nine of 12 targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars' 27-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Kirk led the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while also recording both of the team's touchdowns. The talented offseason acquisition secured three- and 19-yard scoring grabs in the second and fourth quarter, respectively, giving him a career-high seven touchdown receptions in 10 games. Kirk now has at least seven catches in three of his past four games, affording him plenty of momentum heading into the Week 11 bye.

Jefferson caught 10 of 16 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.

Jefferson capped Minnesota's first drive with a 22-yard touchdown catch, but his best was yet to come. With the Vikings facing a 4th-and-18 down 27-23 late in the fourth quarter, Jefferson made a catch-of-the-year candidate by wrestling the ball away from a defender with one hand for a 32-yard gain. Jefferson added clutch catches of 14, six, 13 and 24 yards across the remainder of the fourth quarter and overtime, in addition to drawing a key pass interference penalty on Minnesota's go-ahead drive in OT. The former LSU standout could be the non-quarterback MVP of the league at this point, leading the 8-1 Vikings with 1,060 receiving yards heading into a Week 11 home game against the Cowboys.

Slayton caught three of four targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Texans.

After catching two passes for 41 yards in the first half, Slayton broke a tackle and raced down the sideline for a 54-yard touchdown to give New York a 14-3 third-quarter lead. The Giants went run-heavy while protecting the lead the rest of the way, but this performance is further evidence that Slayton's big-play ability has resurfaced. He has at least 58 yards in four of his past five games and a touchdown in two of the last three. Slayton's eight-touchdown performance as a rookie in 2019 suggests he could have staying power in Week 11 against the Lions and beyond in a Giants offense that lacks playmakers in the passing game.

Hill secured five of six targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 39-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Hill led the Dolphins in receptions on the afternoon, but his yardage total was his second lowest of the season. However, the speedster salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a touchdown reception for the second straight week, securing a two-yard scoring grab on the left side of the end zone late in the third quarter. Hill heads into the Week 11 bye already boasting an 81-1148-4 line through 10 games.

Pickens secured three of four targets for 32 yards while rushing twice for 23 yards and a touchdown during the Steelers' 20-10 win over New Orleans on Sunday.

Pickens was held without any touches during Pittsburgh's Week 8 loss to the Eagles, but he reached the end zone for the second time this season as the Steelers returned from the bye week Sunday. The rookie second-rounder should have more opportunities to contribute down the stretch after Chase Claypool was dealt to the Bears ahead of the trade deadline.

Johnson secured four of five targets for 63 yards in the Steelers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Johnson had been held under 50 receiving yards in each of the last three games, but he was slightly more effective in Week 10 despite seeing his second-lowest number of targets this season. However, the 2019 third-rounder hasn't logged over five receptions since Week 3, and he's failed to reach the end zone over the first nine games of the year.

Lockett recorded three receptions on five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

Lockett was held without a catch in the first half but came through for a 21-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter. He also chipped in 11- and 10-yard catches, both of which ultimately led to scores for Seattle. While there were positives to point to, Lockett now has only five targets in three of his last five games. That makes him heavily reliant on big plays and touchdowns to be productive, which he has managed to do to this point. However, it will also lead to him producing inconsistently down the stretch, barring a change in usage.

Godwin recorded six receptions on eight targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Seahawks.

Godwin managed at least six receptions for the seventh consecutive game, though he showcased some more big-play ability. He caught what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown from four yards away early in the fourth quarter -- also his first of the season. In addition to the score, Godwin accounted for three of the Buccaneers' 10 longest plays from scrimmage, highlighted by gains of 19, 18 and 13 yards. With the performance, he's also topped 70 receiving yards in three of his last five games.

Benson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Benson was making his season debut Sunday after being signed off the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday. However, the 25-year-old did not record a catch before injuring his knee in the second half, which forced him to head directly to Detroit's locker room, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. While the nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, Benson's next opportunity to play will come against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Metcalf recorded six catches on nine targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

Metcalf tied for the team lead in receptions with Kenneth Walker, though he was uncharacteristically limited to short areas of the field. While his longest catch of the day went for only 16 yards, Metcalf still managed a decent day by tallying five receptions of at least 10 yards. Metcalf entered the game having recorded no more than 55 yards in each of his last four matchups, so the bump in production was a particularly welcome sight for fantasy managers.
