Foster suited up Sunday but only played seven snaps and did not catch his only target.

Any hope Foster might get in on the game plan with No. 3 receiver Duke Williams being made a healthy inactive didn't come into fruition, and Foster is still looking for his first catch in 2019. The man that burst into the scene as an undrafted rookie to average 20.0 yards per catch sits at a big fat zero halfway through the season. Even though the Bills may continue to rotate Foster, Williams and Isaiah McKenzie into their last two receiving spots, none of them comes with any value unless John Brown or Cole Beasley were to get sidelined for an extended period.

Dorsett was on the field for 66 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens, hauling in two of his four targets for 13 yards in the process.

Meanwhile, Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu both logged 67 snaps, with the game flow/tempo leading to an emphasis on three-receiver sets. Though Dorsett saw ample playing time Sunday, he was the team's clear-cut No. 3 wide receiver option, with Sanu seeing 14 targets and Edelman logging 11. Once the Patriots return from their Week 10 bye, it's plausible that rookie N'Keal Harry could start cutting into Dorsett's snap/target share, a scenario that would make Dorsett a hit-or-miss fantasy option when New England travels to Philadelphia for a Nov. 17 matchup.

Meyers logged just one of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.

The Patriots ran plenty of three-receiver sets Sunday, but turned almost exclusively to Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett on that front. Meyers thus slots in no higher than New England's No. 4 option at the position, and he could drop another notch once rookie N'Keal Harry re-joins the mix, possibly as soon as Week 11, following the team's bye week..

Moore hauled in two of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Buccaneers.

He logged a season-high 41 of a possible 75 offensive snaps (55 percent), but Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf dominated the production at wide receiver, as the duo combined for 275 yards and three scores. Moore was the clear No. 3 receiver behind the two as Jaron Brown logged just 17 snaps. However, Moore's role should decrease if Josh Gordon -- who was claimed off waivers from the Patriots on Friday -- suits up in Week 10's matchup against the 49ers.

Valdes-Scantling was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

Valdes-Scantling had his best game of the season in the Packers' Week 7 win over the Raiders, but he has been almost invisible since, tallying just one reception for four yards over two games. Despite the nearly non-existent output, Valdes-Scantling still played the second-most snaps among Packers receivers Sunday, and he has started all but one game this season, so there is reason to believe he can get back on track. He and the rest of the Packers' passing game will be challenged again in Week 10, though, facing a Panthers defense that ranks eighth in the league against the pass and allowed wide receivers to find paydirt just one time over its last three games.

Brown (ankle) caught three passes (four targets) for 48 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Patriots.

Brown returned from an ankle injury following a three-week layoff. While the rookie didn't produce a strong fantasy line -- no one from the Ravens performed particularly well in the receiving game -- his 48 yards did lead all Baltimore options. Brown slid back into the the top wideout role, and the speedster will look to break off a big play against a porous Bengals defense on Sunday.

Humphries converted all four of his targets into receptions for 65 yards in Week 9 against the Panthers.

Humphries made the most of his opportunities to turn in his second best game as a Titan. His most notable catch came late in the third quarter, when he caught a slant pass across the middle before turning upfield for a 25-yard gain. While he's managed to haul in 78 percent of his targets this season, Humphries has averaged only 9.9 yards per catch and surpassed six targets in a game only once.

Davis recorded four receptions on five targets for 48 yards in Week 9 against the Panthers.

Davis was the team's second-most targeted receiver, but he was notably outplayed by rookie wideout A.J. Brown. Since his breakout Week 7 performance against the Chargers, Davis has managed just six receptions for 57 yards combined across his last two games. A number of factors are working against Davis being a consistent producer, particularly the emergence of Brown and Ryan Tannehill's willingness to spread the ball around to a number of different Titans receivers. The team may ultimately be forced to up their pass volume and run their offense at a faster pace in an effort to earn a victory against the Chiefs in Week 10, potentially opening the door for Davis to produce.

Perriman brought in four of eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Perriman's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season bests, and he lucked into his first touchdown of the season by grabbing hold of a deflected pass originally intended for Mike Evans late in the first quarter. Perriman still had an inefficient effort overall, but he at least paid dividends for the first time all season. Perriman will look to build on this performance in Week 10 against the Cardinals, but he'll remain hard to trust despite the expanded role Sunday.

Brown caught four of his seven targets for 81 yards in Week 9 against the Panthers.

Brown led the team in both targets and receptions, the second time in the past three weeks he's shown strong rapport with Ryan Tannehill. Still, his effort was a contrast in both good and bad, as he showed the ability to work downfield on a 35-yard reception that was highly contested to begin the fourth quarter. On the other hand, he let a target slip through his hands for an interception that led directly to a Panthers touchdown early in the game. Overall, Brown now has at least seven targets in two of his last three games, far more consistent volume than he saw early in the season.
