Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Underwhelms again in Week 9
Coleman caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.
The second-year wideout from Florida State has struggled over his last three games, catching eight of 12 targets for just 58 yards despite leading the Bills' wide-receiver room in snaps played (138 snaps) during that span. Even so, Coleman has had a solid season overall, recording 284 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 29 catches. He's likely to remain the Bills' No. 1 wideout and will look to get back on track heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Cleared to practice
The Browns designated Tillman (hamstring) for return to practice Monday.
Now that Tillman has been cleared to practice, the Browns will have 21 days to evaluate him, but if the wideout looks good in workouts this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he'll be activated from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game at the Jets, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Before landing on IR and missing four games, Tillman had accrued an 11-106-2 line on 20 targets through Cleveland's first four contests.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Status in question for Week 10
Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Boutte (hamstring) likely won't practice when the Patriots begin Week 10 prep Wednesday, and the wideout's status for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay is uncertain, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
Boutte played just 18 of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense and finished with no catches on one target before being forced out of this past Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons due to a hamstring injury. If Boutte is unable to practice in some capacity by Friday, he'll likely be in line to miss his first game of the season. According to Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, Vrabel specifically noted that Kyle Williams -- who played 46 percent of snaps Week 9 -- would get more opportunities if Boutte ends up sitting out against the Buccaneers.

Kyle Williams WR | NE
Patriots' Kyle Williams: Sees added snaps Sunday
Williams failed to haul in his lone target while logging 31 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.
Fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte was limited to 18 snaps Sunday due to a hamstring injury that forced his early exit from the contest. As a result, Williams saw added playing time, but he ended up being targeted just once. According to Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, head coach Mike Vrabel noted Monday that Boutte is unlikely to practice to begin Week 10 prep and could be at risk of missing next Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, in which case Williams would stand to benefit from more snaps once again.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Two catches against Texans
Bryant caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.
Bryant filled in as the Broncos' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday with teammate Marvin Mims (concussion) sidelined for the contest. The rookie wideout played 36 of Denver's 63 offensive snaps, behind both Courtland Sutton (58) and Troy Franklin (50). Despite the solid usage, Bryant was not a significant part of the Broncos' game plan. Meanwhile, Franklin and Sutton saw 10 and six targets, respectively. Barring more injuries to Denver's receiving corps, the 22-year-old is unlikely to provide consistent production each week. Bryant should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders.

Xavier Legette WR | CAR
Panthers' Xavier Legette: Logs 22 yards in Week 9
Legette caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.
Legette was evaluated for a possible concussion after taking a hit to the head in the second quarter, but he later returned and finished with 31 offensive snaps. Since posting a 9-92-1 receiving line against the Jets in Week 7, the second-year wideout has been quiet, recording just three catches for 39 yards over Carolina's last two contests. However, his lack of production in Week 9 can likely be attributed to the poor weather conditions and quarterback Bryce Young attempting only 20 passes and throwing for just 102 yards. Legette will look to bounce back in a Week 10 divisional matchup against the Saints.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Patriots' Mack Hollins: Two catches in Week 9
Hollins caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over Atlanta.
Kayshon Boutte left Sunday's game early with a hamstring injury, resulting in Hollins leading Patriots WRs by playing 43 of 68 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. However, his production predictably dipped after a seven-catch, 89-yard effort in a Week 8 win over the Browns. Drake Maye has been spreading the ball around, and six different players have led New England in receiving through nine games thus far. "It's fun being in this group when you don't know who is going to get [the ball]," Hollins said after Sunday's game, per Reiss. "Everybody is like, 'Oh, maybe it's me this week.' But I think that also makes it hard for defenses to go against us." Hollins remains a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option, but one with a little more upside if Boutte misses additional time.

Jalen Coker WR | CAR
Panthers' Jalen Coker: Just one catch in Week 9
Coker caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.
Coker operated as the Panthers' No. 3 wideout during the Week 9 win but was largely uninvolved, in part due to the poor weather conditions and quarterback Bryce Young throwing for just 102 yards. Since returning from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, the Holy Cross product has caught four of seven targets for 45 yards. Coker should have more opportunities to contribute heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Jimmy Horn Jr. WR | CAR
Panthers' Jimmy Horn: Minimal output in win
Horn caught one of two targets for one yard and rushed once for seven yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.
The 23-year-old played just 13 offensive snaps and operated as Carolina's No. 4 wideout in the Week 9 win. Through his first five NFL games, Horn has caught six of 10 targets for 66 yards and rushed seven times for 44 yards. He's likely to continue playing a depth role in the Panthers' receiving corps ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS
Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Sustains fractured collarbone
McCaffrey was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone following his departure from Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks and is slated to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
McCaffrey sustained the injury during his 19-yard return on the game's opening kickoff and was quickly ruled out for the rest of the contest. The Commanders haven't provided an official timeline for McCaffrey's return or indicated whether or not he needs surgery, but the young wideout's pending move to IR means that he'll miss at least four games and won't be available again until Week 15 at the soonest. Even before going down with the injury, McCaffrey had handled a understated role in the Washington passing game. Through his nine appearances on the season, McCaffrey hadn't drawn more than three targets in any game, despite top wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) having missed five of those contests.
