Kupp brought in 11 of 21 targets for 110 yards in the Rams' 28-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Kupp's absurdly high target count was the direct result of a game script that saw the Rams surprisingly down by multiple touchdowns before halftime. The fourth-year wideout's catch and yardage tallies were also both game- and season-high figures, though Kupp's touchdown-less streak extended to four contests. He'll look to get in the end zone in a key Week 10 NFC West battle against the Seahawks following a Week 9 bye.

Smith-Schuster corralled seven of his eight targets for 67 receiving yards during Sunday's 28-24 win against the Ravens.

Smith-Schuster has been highly involved over the past two weeks in wins over formidable AFC foes, snagging 16 of 22 targets for 152 receiving yards against the Titans and Ravens, his greatest output in a two-game stretch thus far this season. Pittsburgh's passing offense isn't quite the high-octane unit it was during 2018 in Ben Roethlisberger's last full season, ranking 23rd in the NFL with 229 yards per game entering Sunday (compared to a No. 2 ranking in 2018). Regardless, Smith-Schuster's usage of late has been sufficient to produce viable fantasy numbers, and he next prepares for a Week 9 matchup against the Cowboys' bottom-ranked scoring defense.

Diggs caught six of nine targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over New England.

Diggs was the only Bills receiver able to get things going as the offense went with a run-heavy approach on a windy afternoon in Orchard Park. Cole Beasley ranked second on the team in both catches (two) and receiving yards (24), and Diggs has pulled away from John Brown -- who's playing through a knee injury -- as Josh Allen's go-to guy. Diggs has at least six catches in seven of eight games and has topped 85 yards five times heading into a juicy Week 9 matchup against the porous Seattle secondary.

Higgins caught six of nine targets for 78 yards and carried twice for six yards during Sunday's 31-20 win over the Titans.

Higgins led the team in targets and receiving yards while finishing second in receptions. He manged a long gain of 24 yards but was mostly limited to shorter gains as he finished averaging 13.0 yards per catch. Despite his place in a crowded receiving corps, Higgins has been remarkably consistent and has now surpassed 60 receiving yards in five consecutive outings. He will look to keep it up in Week 10 against the Steelers, after the upcoming bye.

Hardman caught seven of nine targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-9 win over the Jets.

Hardman was overshadowed by Travis Kelce (109 yards and a touchdown) and Tyreek Hill (98 yards and two touchdowns), but quarterback Patrick Mahomes managed to keep all his receivers happy with five touchdown passes against the overmatched Jets secondary. The 2019 second-round pick got the scoring started by taking a touch-pass 30 yards to the house en route to season highs in catches and yards. Hardman's level of involvement has varied drastically from week to week, making him a high-risk, high-reward Week 9 fantasy option in what should be a more competitive game against Carolina.

Davis caught eight of 10 targets for 128 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Bengals.

Davis led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards while finding the end zone in the fourth quarter. He broke off a long gain of 27 yards and consistently got open downfield as he averaged 16.0 yards per catch. Davis has now caught 14 of 20 targets for 163 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games and is thriving with teammate A.J. Brown working across from him. He will look to continue his strong play in a difficult matchup against the Bears next Sunday.

Dulin didn't finish Sunday's game against the Lions due to a knee injury, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Dulin was expected to handle an expanded role after T.Y. Hilton left with a groin injury, but the 23-year-old receiver picked up an injury of his own and spent the rest of the game on the sidelines. He caught a 13-yard pass before leaving. The Colts finished Week 8 with just three healthy receivers -- Zach Pascal, Michael Pittman and Marcus Johnson -- with a home matchup against Baltimore on the horizon.

Boyd caught six of seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown while adding nine yards on two carries during Sunday's 31-20 win over the Titans.

Boyd tied for second on the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards while catching a short touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. He has now scored in two consecutive games after finding the end zone just once through his first six contests and is just two TDs away from matching his total from all of last season. Moreover, the fifth-year wideout has seven targets or more in six of eight games this season and is well on pace to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards once again. Boyd will now take the bye week to recuperate before taking on a tough Steelers defense in Week 10.

Adams caught seven of 12 targets for 53 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Vikings.

While he didn't match the triple-digit yardage totals from his eruptions in Weeks 1 and 7, Adams still put together another dazzling performance and accounted for all the Packers' TDs on the afternoon. The receiver now has seven touchdowns in only five games -- five of them against the Vikings -- as Aaron Rodgers' top option, but Adams will face a stingier secondary in Week 9's trip to San Francisco.

Jefferson caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Packers.

The Vikings' vertical game took a back seat to a huge performance by Dalvin Cook in this one, as the running back scored all four of Minnesota's TDs. Jefferson did tie Adam Thielen for the team lead in targets, and the duo should be more involved in Week 9 against a Lions defense that just gave up three passing TDs to Philip Rivers -- although none of the three went to wide receivers.
