Diontae Johnson WR | CLE
Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Another underwhelming performance
Johnson recorded five receptions on nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Eagles.
In a familiar refrain, Johnson led the Steelers in targets but was unable to produce anything with his opportunity. His longest catch of the day went for 14 yards, but he managed an abysmal 3.9 yards per target. Despite commanding at least seven targets in seven of eight games this season, Johnson has surpassed 60 yards only once.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Season-high receiving yardage tally
Moore secured seven of eight targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 34-26 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 12 yards.
Moore's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all second to those of DeAndre Hopkins (12-159 on 14 targets), with the second-year wideout putting together his highest yardage total of the season as well and scoring a nifty 38-yard touchdown with some excellent work after the catch. Moore now has at least six catches in three of his past four games, and he should continue benefitting from the combination of the absence of Marquise Brown (IR-foot) and the lack of production from Arizona's other complementary receivers in a Week 9 home matchup against the Seahawks.

Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Jets' Elijah Moore: Goose egg in Week 8
Moore didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.
Moore missed the previous game after requesting a trade due to a lack of targets. He returned to the field against the Patriots but didn't see any additional volume, even with fellow wide receiver Corey Davis (knee) sidelined. Moore's minimal usage makes him a fantasy non-entity until further notice.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Career-high 115 yards in Week 8
Wilson caught six of seven targets for a game-high 115 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.
With Corey Davis (knee) sidelined, Wilson was the Jets' go-to wide receiver, but tight end Jack Conklin scored both of the team's touchdowns. Wilson's 54-yard catch in the first quarter set up a field goal for the game's first points, and the rookie first-round pick set a new career high in receiving yards. Wilson's chemistry with quarterback Zach Wilson continues to improve heading into a Week 9 clash with the Bills.

Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Panthers' Laviska Shenault: Five catches in Week 8
Shenault caught five of six targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Falcons.
Shenault ranked third on the team in targets behind DJ Moore (12) and Terrace Marshall (nine). His hamstring is back to full health, but Shenault's impact has been minimal outside of a 67-yard touchdown in Week 3.

Terrace Marshall Jr. WR | MIA
Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Career-high nine targets in Week 8
Marshall caught four of nine targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Falcons.
Marshall set new single-game career highs in targets and receiving yards. The 2021 second-round pick is still searching for his first NFL touchdown, but Marshall has an opportunity to establish himself as Carolina's No. 2 wide receiver behind DJ Moore.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Five-yard TD among nine catches
Meyers caught nine of 12 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.
Meyers gave the Patriots a 13-10 lead with a five-yard touchdown catch early in the third quarter as the Patriots dinked and dunked their way to victory. In addition to scoring the team's only touchdown, the shifty slot receiver led New England in targets and catches while finishing 12 receiving yards short of Rhamondre Stevenson's team-high total. Stevenson and Meyers are the only skill players seeing consistent usage for the Patriots heading into the team's Week 9 game against the Colts.
-
CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Scores, records 77 yards
Lamb recorded five receptions on seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-29 win over the Bears.
Lamb narrowly beat out Dalton Schultz to lead Dallas in receiving yards, and he now has 13 targets combined in the two games since Dak Prescott has returned. Lamb's performance was highlighted by receptions of 22 and 21 yards -- the latter of which went for his third touchdown of the season. He has still yet to surpass the century mark in a game this season, but Lamb has at least 70 yards in five of eight contests.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' DJ Moore: Gets long TD in heartbreaking loss
Moore caught six of 11 targets for 152 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Falcons. He added one rushing attempt for three yards.
Moore was a non-factor in the first half as the entire Carolina passing game struggled, but he stepped up in the second half and finished as the team leader in targets, catches and receiving yards. His 62-yard touchdown with 12 seconds left tied the game with the PAT pending, but the Panthers missed that kick and another in overtime to fall in heartbreaking fashion. Moore has posted a new season high for receiving yards in each of the past two games, and he'll look to build on his momentum in Week 9 against the Bengals.
