Jalen Nailor WR | LV
Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Has key reception in win
Nailor had one reception for 16 yards on four targets in Sunday's win at Detroit.
Nailor had just one catch, but it was for a first down at the end of the game that sealed the victory. His opportunities didn't change with the return of J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. Nailor played on 33 of the offense's 62 snaps, which was slightly less than his usual participation. He continues to have a steady role in the offense but won't get many looks in the passing game with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson drawing the bulk of the targets.

Jordan Watkins WR | SF
49ers' Jordan Watkins: Another one-catch outing Sunday
Watkins hauled in his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.
Watkins nabbed another reception in his second appearance of the season after injuries delayed the start of his professional career. The fourth-round rookie logged just eight snaps on offense (12 percent), a role too small for anyone to generate reliable fantasy value in. Head coach Kyle Shanahan historically has not trusted rookie receivers in larger roles, so Watkins' snap count should remained capped against the Rams next Sunday.

Skyy Moore WR | GB
49ers' Skyy Moore: Busy day returning kicks
Moore had one reception for 21 yards while returning five combined kicks for 85 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.
Moore played a role in the field position game for the 49ers after running back five of his six return opportunities Sunday. The return specialist set a new personal high with a 21-yard reception in the win, but it was also just his third catch (on five targets) in eight appearances this season. Moore's minimal involvement on offense keeps him out of the fantasy picture in standard formats for next Sunday's tilt versus the Rams.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Continues to disappoint
Robinson finished with no receptions (on one target) in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.
Robinson was on the field for 33 percent of the offense's snaps Sunday, finishing third behind starters Jauan Jennings (79 percent) and Kendrick Bourne (73 percent). The 30-year-old Robinson failed to capitalize on a prime opportunity to fill in as the 49ers' slot receiver in a cushy matchup. Instead, he was held without a catch for the second time in the last three weeks. With just eight receptions in six active games, it's safe to say that Robinson has been a poor fit in San Francisco. The 49ers will host Robinson's former club, the Rams, on Sunday, but the veteran's lack of involvement dampens any excitement over a potential "revenge game" Week 10.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre' Harris: Catches two passes vs. Titans
Harris caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
The 2025 second-round pick played 30 offensive snaps and hauled in both of his targets during the Week 9 win. His role on the Chargers' offense has slowly expanded as the year has progressed, and Harris has now logged far more offensive snaps than Keenan Allen (72 to 42) over the two three weeks. Expect Harris to remain involved heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Steelers.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith WR | LAC
Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Minimal output in win
Lambert-Smith played five of the Chargers' 65 offensive snaps and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
The rookie wideout from Auburn contributed more on special teams than offense in the Week 9 win, returning two kickoffs for 49 yards. Lambert-Smith has appeared in six games and caught just one of four targets this season, playing 82 total snaps (58 on offense, 24 on special teams). He's expected to remain a depth option at WR while serving as one of the Chargers' top kick returners in the Week 10 matchup against the Steelers.

Roman Wilson WR | PIT
Steelers' Roman Wilson: Limited workload in Week 9
Wilson secured one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.
Wilson was the Steelers' leading receiver against Green Bay in Week 8 with a season-high 74 yards and a touchdown, but he was held in check a week later. He was held to single-digit yards for the first time since Week 4 while playing 47 percent of the team's offensive snaps, which ranked third among Pittsburgh's wide receivers. Wilson showcased his upside Week 8, but he remains an unreliable fantasy option heading into the second half of the year, and it's possible that the Steelers target a wide receiver ahead of the trade deadline.

Treylon Burks WR | WAS
Commanders' Treylon Burks: One catch in Commanders debut
Burks caught his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.
The 2022 first-round pick from Arkansas was elevated from the Commanders' practice squad to the active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver, as both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) were sidelined Sunday. Burks played 33 offensive snaps and operated as Washington's No. 4 wideout, finishing as the team's fifth-leading receiver. He's likely to remain on the Commanders' active roster for the Week 10 matchup against the Lions, as McLaurin and Brown appear unlikely to return.
-
Chris Moore WR | WAS
Commanders' Chris Moore: No catches again Sunday
Moore was not targeted despite playing 48 of the Commanders' 65 offensive snaps during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Despite playing the most snaps of any Commanders wideout during Sunday's blowout loss, Moore was held without a catch for the second consecutive game. The veteran from Cincinnati has now appeared in eight contests this season, tallying eight receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown over 246 offensive snaps. Although he will likely continue to see the field due to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) both being sidelined, Moore doesn't carry much fantasy value heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Lions.

Jaylin Lane WR | WAS
Commanders' Jaylin Lane: Solid performance in Week 9
Lane caught three of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Lane played 41 offensive snaps and served as Washington's No. 3 wideout while Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) were sidelined in Week 9. The rookie from Virginia Tech tied his career high with three receptions and finished as the Commanders' third-leading receiver Sunday. He also contributed on special teams, returning two punts and one kickoff for 41 total yards. Following Sunday's performance, Lane's offensive role could continue to grow heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Lions.
