Godwin brought in seven of nine targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Godwin saw teammate Mike Evans once again steal the spotlight, with the latter turning double-digit targets into double-digit receptions for the second straight week. Godwin did check in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Evans, but he was once again utilized in much closer proximity to the line of scrimmage on his way to 8.7 yards per grab. While his final line wasn't particularly remarkable, Godwin did see a good bump in production after mustering a more modest 4-43 line in Week 8 versus the Titans. He'll look to boost his numbers further versus the Cardinals in Week 10.

Evans secured 12 of 16 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

For the second straight game, Evans put up stellar fantasy numbers in a close Buccaneers loss. The standout receiver now has a 23-378-3 line over the last pair of games, and he's drawn a jaw-dropping 45 targets over the last three contests overall. Evans could have had an even bigger day, as he was the intended receiver on a pass that ended up in the hands of teammate Breshad Perriman in the end zone after it was deflected into the air. Given his elite production of late, Evans remains a very viable play in an upcoming Week 10 matchup against the fast-paced Cardinals.

Sutton caught five of eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Browns. He also carried the ball once for seven yards.

The second-year receiver opened the scoring in the first quarter with a fantastic 21-yard reception, leaping high over tight coverage from Denzel Ward to haul in Brandon Allen's first career TD pass. Sutton has now recorded at least 70 yards or a touchdown in seven straight games and in eight of nine this season, seeing between six and nine targets in every contest. However, his streak of remarkably steady fantasy production will be paused as the Broncos get their bye in Week 10.

Beckham caught five of six targets for a team-high 87 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Broncos.

After a quiet first half, Beckham may some big runs after the catch in the fourth quarter as the Browns tried to mount a comeback, but it was the target he didn't get that will linger -- on a fourth down in Denver territory, Beckham seemed to have Chris Harris beat down the sideline for what might have been the go-ahead TD, only for Baker Mayfield to instead try to squeeze the ball in to Jarvis Landry over the middle and have it fall incomplete. Through eight games, Beckham is on pace for his fifth career 1000-yard campaign, but his one touchdown is far below his usual production from his Giants days.

Washington caught all four targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Colts.

Targeted twice as often as Diontae Johnson and just once fewer than JuJu Smith-Schuster, Washington racked up his highest yardage total in 20 career games. Still, he has just one career touchdown, and that came in his first NFL game. It may be safe to expect more of the same from Washington in Week 10, as the Rams held opponents to 10 points in each of the last two games before their Week 9 bye.

Johnson caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Colts. He also ran once for two yards.

The downfield passing game was virtually non-existent for the Steelers, with quarterback Mason Rudolph averaging just 5.5 yards per attempt and targeting running back Jaylen Samuels as many times (13) as all other players combined. This was a disappointing effort for Johnson after catching five of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in his previous game. Week 10 doesn't look to be any better for the rookie receiver, as opposing wideouts have not scored a touchdown against the Rams in the last three contests, or in six of eight games this season.

Lazard caught three of four targets for a team-high 44 yards in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers.

The Packers left their offense at home when they flew west, and Lazard's 17-yard grab in the fourth quarter ended up being the team's longest play from scrimmage. It was encouraging to see the second-year receiver maintain his usual volume even with Davante Adams back in the lineup, and Lazard may have done enough to establish himself as Aaron Rodgers' No. 2 WR going forward.

Adams caught seven of 11 targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers.

The receiver led the Packers in targets in his return from a four-game absence -- in fact, no other Green Bay WR saw more than Allen Lazard's four -- but Aaron Rodgers didn't have time to let his favorite option run any deep routes due to the Chargers' pass rush, and Adams' longest grab went for only nine yards. He didn't appear hampered by his toe issue, however, and a healthy Adams stands a good chance of posting better numbers next week against the Panthers.

Renfrow caught six of seven targets for 54 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Renfrow led the team in targets while posting a new career high in receptions. He averaged just 9.0 yards per catch, but he overcame his lack of yardage with a nine-yard touchdown reception to win the game in the final minutes. Renfrow now has touchdowns in back-to-back games, while also contributing 142 receiving yards during that span. He'll look to continue his ascent in Thursday's home matchup against the Chargers.

Allen (hamstring) caught three of his four targets for 40 yards in the 26-11 win over the Packers on Sunday.

The Chargers didn't need to rely on Allen in Sunday's contest, as the likes of Austin Ekeler, Melvin Gordon, Hunter Henry and Mike Williams were more than enough of a problem for a hopeless Packers defense, resulting in the lowest target total of the season for the former Pro Bowler. Allen should have no problem getting back into the groove next week against a Raiders secondary that has allowed at least 140 receiving yards to wide receivers in all but one game this year.
