  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Makes impact as rusher

    Agnew rushed three times for 79 yards and a touchdown, failed to bring in any of his five targets, returned four punts for 30 yards and ran back five kickoffs for 101 yards in the Jaguars' 23-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    It was a busy afternoon for the versatile Agnew to say the least, with the 26-year-old scoring on a 66-yard touchdown scamper late in the first quarter and seeing a solid amount of targets that went for naught largely due to Trevor Lawrence's accuracy issues. Agnew has seemingly surpassed Laviska Shenault as the Jaguars' jack of all trades, as before Sunday's catch-less effort he'd recorded between three and six catches in four consecutive games. Agnew will remain a solid fantasy option, especially in formats that count return yardage, in a Week 11 battle against the 49ers.

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Efficient in win

    Pittman secured all five targets for 71 yards in the Colts' 23-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    The Colts' passing game took a back seat to Jonathan Taylor on Sunday, with the star second-year back logging a season-high 21 carries. However, Pittman still found a way to turn in a solid fantasy effort, pacing the Colts' pass catchers in receptions and receiving yards. Pittman has at least five catches in three consecutive contests, but he did see a three-game touchdown streak snapped Sunday and could have an uphill climb in starting a new one against a suffocating Bills secondary in Week 11.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Commands 13 targets

    Johnson recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Detroit.

    Johnson narrowly beat out Ray-Ray McCloud as Mason Rudolph's favorite target Sunday to lead the team in receiving. He picked up big gains of 39 and 20 yards, though the former ended with a crucial fumble that cost Pittsburgh a chance to kick a game-winning field goal in overtime. Though Johnson has surpassed the century mark only once this season, he's surpassed 70 receiving yards in six of his eight contests. He would benefit from the return of Ben Roethlisberger (illness) heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Chargers.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Football Team's Terry McLaurin: Paces pass catchers in win

    McLaurin brought in six of eight targets for 59 yards in Washington's 29-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He sustained a collarbone injury in the second quarter but returned to the game shortly thereafter.

    The third-year speedster's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all team highs, and his production in the first two categories also qualified as his second best of the last five contests. McLaurin's overall production is undeniably capped to an extent by Taylor Heinicke's limitations under center, but with a locked-in role that's seen him log fewer than seven targets just once all season, he remains a viable option in all formats versus a tough Panthers secondary in Week 11.

  • Jets' Jamison Crowder: Just 20 yards in Week 10 loss

    Crowder caught three of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to Buffalo.

    Crowder was far from the only Jet to struggle in this one, as New York trailed 38-3 through three quarters. The offense found more success in the fourth, but the Jets rightfully prioritized developing rookies Michael Carter and Elijah Moore, who each scored a touchdown, rather than the 28-year-old Crowder. With more than 40 receiving yards in just two of six games played this season, Crowder will be tough to trust in Week 11 against Miami, regardless of which quarterback gets the starting nod for the Jets.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Seven grabs in upset loss

    Godwin (foot) brought in seven of eight targets for 57 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-19 loss to Washington on Sunday.

    While some of his other offensive teammates looked like they still had a bit of bye-week hangover, Godwin, playing through a foot issue, checked in second on the Bucs in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The fifth-year wideout has been consistently busy of late, as he now has at least seven receptions and eight targets in four of the last five games. Godwin should be a bit healthier by the time a Week 11 home Monday night matchup against the Giants kicks off.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Jets' Corey Davis: Tops 90 yards in return

    Davis (hip) caught five of seven targets for 93 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Bills.

    A silver lining for the Jets after this blowout loss is that Davis looked fine in his return after missing the previous two games due to a hip injury. He was the only Jet to top 50 receiving yards, and Davis has eclipsed 90 in three of his first seven games with New York. The 26-year-old wide receiver has 29 catches on 49 targets for 442 yards and four touchdowns heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins.

  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Titans' A.J. Brown: Shut down by Saints

    Brown recorded one reception on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints.

    Brown failed to top five targets and multiple receptions in a full game for the first time on the campaign. His lone contribution to the victory came late in the second quarter on a trick play that began with a direct snap to Adrian Peterson that resulted in a 16-yard catch for Brown. Making Brown's performance even more surprising was the fact that Marshon Lattimore did not travel with him for much of the game, as reported by Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Brown will look to bounce back in a positive matchup in Week 11 against Houston.

  • Russell Gage WR | SF

    Falcons' Russell Gage: No receptions in blowout loss

    Gage did not record a reception on three targets in Sunday's 43-3 loss to the Cowboys.

    Gage appeared to be on pace for a solid game when he made an impressive leaping catch on a deep ball in the first quarter, but Dallas challenged the ruling and the potential big play was overturned as the ball slightly grazed the turf. The 25-year-old only saw two more targets before the Falcons mailed it in for what turned out to be a blowout loss. Olamide Zaccheaus had two receptions for 22 yards on seven targets, so Gage's inconsistent play this year may have moved him down the target pecking order in Atlanta. He will try to get back on track against a tough Patriots defense this upcoming Thursday.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Scores at long last

    Meyers caught four passes for 49 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Cleveland on Sunday.

    On his 135th NFL reception Meyers finally found the end zone, albeit from Brian Hoyer in garbage time rather than starter Mac Jones. Hopefully it's not such a long wait for touchdown No. 2 -- indeed, with Meyers' target volume, he's a good bet to find the end zone a few more times before the season is over. That's particularly true if Jones can build on his three-touchdown showing against the Browns. Meyers projects well against the Falcons on Thursday.
