  • Jakeem Grant WR | ATL

    Dolphins' Jakeem Grant: Held in check by Cardinals

    Grant secured four of five targets for 35 yards during Sundays' 34-31 win over Arizona.

    Grant only played 48 percent of offensive snaps, operating primarily out of the slot, but his five targets were tied with Preston Williams (foot) for the second-highest mark on the team. It's worth noting that Williams was forced to exit in the first half due to a sprain, so Grant's looks may have been slightly inflated. That's a trend that could repeat against the Chargers in Week 10 though, if Williams can't return. Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, Grant also now leads the NFL in punt return yards.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Dolphins' Mack Hollins: Scores on only target

    Hollins hauled in his only target for 11 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.

    Hollins took the field in relief of Preston Williams (foot), who had to be carted off due to a sprain in the first half after scoring a touchdown of his own. He finished the game having played 28 percent of offensive snaps, less than both Jakeem Grant (48 percent) and Malcolm Perry (38 percent). If Williams can't return against the Chargers in Week 10, Hollins will have limited fantasy appeal in deep formats.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Could begin returning punts

    Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said Monday that he hopes to get Reagor "in the mix" at punt returner, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Fipp added that he didn't want to put too much on Reagor's plate Week 8, before the Eagles' bye and with the rookie coming off IR. Even without increased involvement on special teams, Reagor will be an intriguing fantasy option during the second half of the season, given the potential that he takes over as a top target for Carson Wentz. If he does start fielding punts, it would provide Reagor with a notable boost in leagues that award fantasy points for return yardage.

  • Cam Sims WR | CAR

    Football Team's Cam Sims: Works as No. 2 WR

    Sims caught three of four targets for 110 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.

    Sims worked as the No. 2 WR with 74 percent snap share, while Steven Sims and Isaiah Wright got only 30 percent apiece. Granted, this was with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive and (Steven) Sims in his first game back from a prolonged absence, so it isn't necessarily clear Cam Sims will maintain the same role for Week 10 at Detroit. It is worth noting that Cam has been highly efficient with his limited chances this year, catching seven of eight targets for 171 yards and a touchdown.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Football Team's Steven Sims: Barely plays on offense

    Sims caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.

    After missing four straight games with a toe injury, Sims returned for Week 9 but played only 30 percent of the snaps on offense. He also had one punt return for 12 yards, while Danny Johnson handled the kick returns. It's possible Sims gets more work Week 10 at Detroit, but we haven't seen him in a significant role since mid-September.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Texans' Randall Cobb: Fifth in targets

    Cobb caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Jaguars.

    One game after leading the Texans in targets, Cobb was tied for fifth with Darren Fells in chances Sunday. He leads Houston's wideouts with an 80.5 catch percentage, but Cobb doesn't get much use on a week-to-week basis. The slot receiver has finished under 50 yards in five of eight games in 2020.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Posts 41 yards in return

    Godwin (finger) had three catches (six targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to New Orleans.

    It was a dreadful performance all around from the Buccaneers in a primetime matchup where the team was trying to dethrone the old guard of the NFC South. Despite throwing for nearly the entire game (38 pass attempts to four carries), Tom Brady was unable to establish any rhythm with his top wideouts. The good news here is that Godwin escaped the contest without aggravating the finger injury that forced him to miss last week's contest. Look for the entire unit to bounce back against the Panthers on Sunday.

  • Saints' Michael Thomas: Catches six balls in return

    Thomas (ankle/hamstring) caught five of six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Buccaneers.

    Thomas finally made his long-awaited return from multiple leg injuries and a team-issued suspension, reclaiming his spot atop the receiving box score. The production was modest due to the combination of Drew Brees spreading the ball around to 12 different receivers and a one-sided affair that let the offense take its foot off the gas in the second half. The key for Thomas owners is that the wideout did not appear to suffer any setbacks to his lower body. The star wideout will look to return to putting up monster numbers in a favorable matchup against the Panthers' middle-of-the-road defense.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Avoids injury, but not defeat

    Evans had four receptions (six targets) for 64 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints. He appeared to tweak his groin in the third quarter, but promptly returned to the field one play later.

    Once the injury scare was out of the way, fantasy managers could turn their disappointment to Evans' production on the field. The blame can't be placed entirely on the star wideout, as he didn't see a target until the second half despite the Buccaneers playing from behind for the entire contest. Evans ended up leading the team in receiving yards on a night to forget for Tom Brady and the entire Tampa Bay offense. The Bucs' aerial attack will look to get back on track in a favorable matchup against the Panthers on Sunday.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Titans' Corey Davis: Shut out in Week 9

    Davis recorded zero receptions on three targets in Week 9 against the Bears.

    Davis saw a season-low three targets and failed to produce anything with the limited opportunity. The lack of production was in part due to game script -- Ryan Tannehill threw only 21 passes -- but both Jonnu Smith and A.J. Brown found ways to come through with decent stat lines. While the performance was certainly a setback for Davis, he has either a touchdown or 100 receiving yards in four of his seven contests this season. He'll look to get back on track in 10 against the Colts.
