Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Long TD catch in win
Waddle brought in five of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Waddle led the Dolphins in receiving yards and targets in the upset victory, making a significant contribution in the form of a 38-yard touchdown grab on the first play of the second quarter. The veteran wideout unsurprisingly continues to enjoy a robust role following the season-ending knee injury to Tyreek Hill, recording at least five catches and 82 receiving yards in five of his last six games. Waddle will continue in an elevated role against a porous Commanders secondary in Madrid next Sunday.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Lacks connection with McCarthy
Jefferson recorded four receptions on 12 targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.
Opportunity wasn't an issue for Jefferson, as he commanded a season-high 12 targets to lead the team. However, he couldn't get on the same page with J.J. McCarthy -- the Ravens had two interceptions when Jeefferson was targeted -- and his four receptions marked his fewest since Week 2. The duo was particularly poor on deep targets, as all of Jefferson's targets came in the short area of the field, with his longest gain going for just 11 yards. He has now been held below 50 receiving yards in three of McCarthy's four starts this season.

Tetairoa McMillan WR | CAR
Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Five grabs in Sunday's loss
McMillan caught five of eight targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.
The rookie wideout continues to be the most reliable downfield option in an underpowered Panthers passing attack. McMillan has at least three receptions in every game so far this year, putting together a 46-618-2 line on 77 targets in nine contests. He'll look for his first TD since Week 6 in a Week 1 clash with the Falcons.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Season-best outing in Week 10
Jeudy caught six of 12 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.
After a forgettable first half of the season, the mercurial wide receiver put forth an encouraging performance coming out of Cleveland's Week 9 bye. Jeudy scored his first touchdown of the season on a 22-yard catch in the second quarter. His 66 receiving yards at halftime matched Jeudy's full-game season high. Jeudy tacked on only 12 yards in the second half but finished with game-high totals in targets, catches and receiving yards. Given the lack of proven alternatives in Cleveland's wide receiver room, Jeudy should continue to command significant volume in Week 11 against the Ravens.

Emeka Egbuka WR | TB
Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Paces pass catchers in loss
Egbuka brought in six of 13 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Egbuka reemerged as a force in the air attack after a quiet three-game stretch during which he topped out at four catches and 58 receiving yards in terms of single-game highs. The rookie first-round pick led the Bucs in both receiving yards and targets while checking in second in receptions to Cade Otton. The ongoing absences of Chris Godwin (fibula) and Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) continues to afford the Ohio State product the chance to serve as Baker Mayfield's top wide-receiver target, and even if Godwin manages to return for next Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Bills, Egbuka figures to retain a sizeable role.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Breaks out with rookie QB
Olave caught five of eight targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Panthers.
The fourth-year wideout put together his best performance of the season in terms of yardage, capped by a 62-yard TD in the second quarter. Olave failed to see double-digit targets for only the fourth time in 2025, but he's showing some good early chemistry with rookie QB Tyler Shough, who was making his second career start. Olave will take a 60-664-4 line on 94 targets through 10 games into the Saints' bye, before facing the Falcons in Week 12.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Won't return Sunday
Wilson (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Prior to his exit from the contest, Wilson didn't log a catch on three targets. The wideout approached Week 10 action listed as questionable due to a knee injury, but at this stage it's unclear if if his current issue is a setback related to that, or a new injury.

Jordan Whittington WR | LAR
Rams' Jordan Whittington: Active Sunday
Whittington (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Whittington logged a limited session Friday before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With his Week 10 availability confirmed, Whittington will continue to work behind the Rams' clear-cut top WRs, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. In that role, Whittington has recorded a 12/121/0 receiving line on 17 targets in eight games, a pace that keeps him off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Back in Sunday's contest
Slayton (hamstring) returned to Sunday's game in Chicago, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Slayton paid a visit to the locker in the second quarter due to a hamstring injury but was able to reenter the contest after halftime. He'll look to build upon the three catches (on three targets) for 85 yards that he put together before his exit.
