Thielen recorded two receptions on five targets for 38 yards in Week 9 against the Lions.

The Vikings attempted only 20 passes in their victory over Detroit, limiting Thielen's chances for a big performance. Even with the opportunities given, Thielen had disappointing production as he converted less than half of his targets into receptions. On the positive side, he logged a 30-yard reception -- his sixth of greater than 20 yards on the season. Thielen will likely be in for a tough matchup in Week 10 against the Bears.

Pascal secured five of six targets for 55 yards in the Colts' 24-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

With T.Y. Hilton (groin) out of action and Jack Doyle (concussion) exiting the game in the first quarter, Pascal led the Colts in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards by one to Michael Pittman. Pascal remains a solid possession option, but he lacks the explosiveness to offer next-level fantasy upside and therefore isn't a reliable candidate to take over the deep routes Hilton often runs. Pascal will look to continue making solid contributions in a Week 10 Thursday night battle against the Titans.

Brown caught three of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

Lamar Jackson only needed to attempt 23 passes on the afternoon, and while Brown did tie Mark Andrews for the team lead in targets, the modest volume didn't translate into much production. Brown has managed only an 8-98-1 line on 13 targets over the last three games combined, and he'll face another tough matchup in Week 10 against the Patriots, especially if Stephon Gilmore (knee) is able to return to action.

Pittman secured four of seven targets for 56 yards in the Colts' 24-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Pittman was much more involved in his second game back from injured reserve, as he'd managed just one catch for six yards over 45 snaps Week 8. His receiving yardage led the Colts on the afternoon, while his reception tally tied for second with T.Y. Hilton (groin) out of action and Jack Doyle leaving the game in the first quarter with a concussion. Pittman will look to build on Sunday's improved numbers in a Thursday night Week 10 road battle versus the Titans, a game that both Hilton and Doyle could be hard-pressed to return for.

McLaurin corralled seven of eight targets for 115 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.

McLaurin concluded the NFC East battle as the game's leading receiver, though J.D. McKissic outpaced him in targets by six. The Ohio State product has been incredibly reliable in fantasy despite inconsistent quarterback play, as McLaurin has exceeded 60 receiving yards in seven of his eight outings this season. Volume has also remained steady, with McLaurin attracting at least seven targets in every one of his appearances thus far in 2020. Washington faces a Detroit defense in Week 10 that allowed multiple receptions to five different receivers Sunday in a loss to Minnesota, surrendering a total of 220 passing yards and three TDs through the air.

Conley caught seven of eight targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Texans.

Conley finished second on the team in all major receiving categories, topping 50 receiving yards for the second time this season. He did little of note outside his long gain of 21 yards but still displayed a solid rapport with replacement quarterback Jake Luton. While Luton is expected to start again next Sunday against the Packers and could continue to look Conley's way, the wideout shouldn't be considered a reliable fantasy option until he proves otherwise.

Chark caught seven of 12 targets for 146 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Texans.

Chark made a huge impact early in the game with a 73-yard touchdown catch and run to get his team on the board. The big play accounted for half his yardage output on the day, but he still came through with some other notable gains en route to a new season high in that department. Chark's outburst was especially surprising considering Jake Luton was making his first career start under center, and the duo will look to build on this productive effort next Sunday in an effort to keep up with the high-scoring Packers.

Moore secured two of three targets for 18 yards in the Panthers' 33-31 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Moore was a forgotten man in the passing game despite Teddy Bridgewater putting the ball up 49 times, leading to the receiver's second straight underwhelming effort. Moore now has back-back two-catch tallies, while his target count Sunday qualified as his lowest of the campaign. The return of Christian McCaffrey, who drew 10 targets, played a part in Moore's downturn in involvement Sunday, and with the star back having suffered a rib injury in the closing seconds of the contest, it's possible the third-year wideout enjoys a more expanded role Week 10 against the Buccaneers.

Anderson brought in nine of 13 targets for 63 yards in the Panthers' 33-31 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Anderson saw his usual hefty workload in the Panthers passing game, one that saw him draw a team- and season-high number of targets. The fifth-year pro also tied his season best for receptions, further cementing his status as Teddy Bridgewater's top target in a game that marked the return of Christian McCaffrey (ribs) to action. In Week 10, Anderson will look to put together another productive performance at the expense of a Buccaneers team against whom he posted 109 yards on nine receptions back in Week 2.

Brown recorded four receptions on nine targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Bears.

Brown wasn't able to convert a high rate of his targets into catches, but he made the most of his opportunity with the ball in his hand. He was responsible for three of the team's five biggest gains, including receptions of 38 and 17 yards. However, Brown's biggest play of the contest came on a deep 40-yard pass down the left sideline for his sixth touchdown of the season. Brown has now found the end zone in five consecutive games, a streak he'll look to keep intact in a Week 10 matchup against the Colts.
