Lockett recorded four receptions on five targets for 33 yards in Week 8 against the 49ers.

Coming off a massive Week 7 performance, Lockett was held in check by San Francisco's defense. Instead, DK Metcalf was peppered with 15 targets and posted 161 receiving yards with two scores. Though Lockett has seven touchdowns, he's accumulated six of them in two games. Similarly, he has accounted for 300 of his 575 receiving yards in two games this season. That leaves him with huge upside in every game, but also with a limited floor. Lockett will try to get back on track in Week 9 against Buffalo.

Smith made a 13-yard catch on his lone target in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.

The catch was Smith's first of the season in his third game. The speedy receiver caught 17 balls last season and will hope to take on a larger role in the injury-riddled Jets receiving corps moving forward.

Pascal caught three of six targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 41-21 win over the Lions.

Pascal led the team in targets while tying for the lead in receptions and finishing second in yardage. He recorded a long gain of 20 yards, which tied his third-longest of the season, and converted first downs on his other two receptions as well. T.Y. Hilton (groin) left the game with an injury, which in theory created more opportunities for Pascal, but he finished with modest numbers nonetheless. Whether Hilton plays or not next Sunday against the Ravens, Pascal will face a tough matchup and probably doesn't carry much fantasy upside given the nature of the Indianapolis offense.

Smith caught five of seven targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bears.

While he didn't turn his opportunities into much production, Smith did tie his season highs in catches and targets as Drew Brees' top option at wide receiver, although tight end Jared Cook matched his volume and Alvin Kamara topped them both. Depending on the health of Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID), Smith could again see a significant workload in Week 9's tough road matchup against the Buccaneers.

Allen recorded nine receptions on 11 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Broncos.

Allen was overshadowed by Mike Williams in terms of yardage, but he still led the team in targets and receptions. He caught his third touchdown of the season on a nine-yard pass over the middle of the field late in the second quarter. Otherwise, he was mostly limited to short gains, with his only deep reception going for 22 yards while again working over the middle of the field. For the season, Allen now has 53 receptions for 548 yards across seven games. He'll look to maintain his strong volume of targets in Week 9 against Las Vegas.

Renfrow corralled all four of his targets for 26 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 16-6 win against the Browns.

Renfrow has been somewhat of a high-floor option of late, with four or more catches in four of his five appearances since Week 3. The second-year pro has also averaged 50.2 receiving yards per game during that span, hauling in his TDs in Weeks 3 and 8. Renfrow, Henry Ruggs and Darren Waller were the only Raiders to garner at least four targets Sunday, and the young pass-catching trio will now shift focus to a Week 9 intra-divisional clash against the Chargers.

Snead corralled five of seven targets for 106 receiving yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

Snead led all Ravens in targets and catches, while his receiving total was 11 yards short of being three times more than the team's No. 2 option. The 28-year-old entered Sunday's contest averaging fewer than 25 receiving yards per game on the season, with no more than four catches in any contest. He'll face an Indianapolis defense Week 9 that just surrendered two receiving TDs to Marvin Jones while also allowing three other Lions pass-catchers to go for 50-plus receiving yards.

Wims caught one pass for nine yards before being ejected for fighting in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Wims has caught just five passes for 35 yards on the season, and unless his role in the offense significantly changes, his fantasy value will remain minimal.

Mooney caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Mooney has been targeted on numerous deep passes throughout the season, and Nick Foles used a play-action fake to slow the pass rush while connecting on a 50-yard pass to the receiver Sunday. Mooney later cemented his fantasy day by catching a touchdown pass in the red zone to account for his second score of the season. Mooney's now been targeted at least five times in six straight games, and he's quickly becoming a solid fantasy depth option.

Robinson caught six passes for 87 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Robinson made a great adjustment on his route to beat double coverage on a 24-yard touchdown in the first half, but he was largely quiet until the Bears were forced to play from behind late in the fourth quarter and overtime, which allowed him to pile up a solid yardage total. Even though he scored his first touchdown in four weeks, he's posted at least 70 yards in all but two games this season, and he continues to perform as a steady top-15 option at wide receiver.
