  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Worst performance of season

    Robinson caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Despite facing one of the weaker pass defenses in the league, Mitchell Trubisky threw for just 125 yards, which certainly limited any upside for Robinson. He had an opportunity for potential long touchdown after he ran past the cornererback, but Trubisky underthrew the pass, resulting in an incompletion. This was the first time he posted fewer than 60 yards since Week 2, and he still should be considered a solid weekly lineup option.

  • Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Held to 16 yards vs. Colts

    Smith-Schuster caught three of five targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Colts.

    Smith-Schuster finished third on the team in targets, with his long gain going for just 12 yards. The passing game was mostly limited to short dump-offs in this one as a result of the general ineffectiveness of Mason Rudolph. This dud performance was likely even more frustrating for Smith-Schuster's owners considering he broke loose for 103 yards and a touchdown last week, but this inconsistency is part of the reality of the current Steelers offense. He'll face a tough matchup next week against the Rams and cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Redskins' Terry McLaurin: Another quiet outing in Week 9 loss

    McLaurin hauled in four of six targets and accounted for 39 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Bills.

    The rookie wideout accounted for at least 51 receiving yards in each of his first five appearances of the year while scoring five times. However, over the past three weeks against San Francisco, Minnesota and Buffalo, he's managed only three catches per game for an average output of 29.7 yards. Washington's offense has been stuck in the mud, and McLaurin's production has been stifled as a result, with the Redskins now having gone 13 consecutive quarters without reaching the end zone. Following the Week 10 bye, McLaurin and the Washington offense will return to the field against a Jets defense that has given up 26-plus points in five of it past six appearances.

  • Jets' Jamison Crowder: Leading receiver in Week 9 loss

    Crowder caught eight of nine targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Dolphins.

    Crowder had largely laid dormant since Week 1, but he came alive in this favorable matchup against the winless Dolphins. He capped the opening drive with a 12-yard touchdown and eclipsed 80 yards for just the third time this season. With quarterback Sam Darnold struggling to push the ball downfield effectively, Crowder's poised for another productive effort underneath against the Giants in Week 10.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Ties career-best TD total

    Parker hauled in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-18 win over the Jets.

    Parker's 17-yard touchdown in the second quarter was his fourth of the season, tying his career high set back in 2016. The 2015 first-rounder hasn't lived up to his lofty draft billing, but this subpar Miami team doesn't exactly have many alternatives to turn to on offense, so wide receivers Parker and Preston Williams -- who left in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury -- should continue to do most of the damage for the Dolphins. Up next for Parker is a Week 10 road clash with the Colts.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Jets' Robby Anderson: Limited involvement in Miami

    Anderson caught two of four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Dolphins.

    Quarterback Sam Darnold just missed connecting with Anderson on a pair of potential chunk plays, but the bottom line is that Anderson delivered a dud despite facing a putrid Dolphins team. New York now sports an identical 1-7 record to the Dolphins and has actually been worse offensively, so it's tough to trust anybody on that side of the ball for the Jets. It wouldn't be surprising to see Anderson break free for some big gains against a vulnerable Giants secondary in Week 10, but another poor performance like this one is just as likely.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Packers' Davante Adams: Returns from four-game absence

    Adams (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers in L.A., Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.

    Subject to a pregame warmup, Adams has overcome his questionable tag and ended his absence at four contests. During Week 9 prep, coach Matt La Fleur was reticent to guarantee Adams' return to action, especially because the wide receiver still felt some pain while pushing off his right foot. In the end, the Packers' medical staff has determined Adams can handle the rigors of an NFL game, but the team also wouldn't shock anyone if it capped his snap count. Whatever he's allowed to take on, he'll be looking to take advantage of a Chargers defense that has given up 9.3 yards per target and seven touchdowns to wide receivers in eight outings this season.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    Jaguars' Chris Conley: Momentum runs out in Week 9 loss

    Conley finished with two catches for 32 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans in London.

    Conley couldn't carry his momentum overseas, slipping back below 40 yards after topping 80 in each of the previous two games. The 27-year-old wide receiver will remain a boom-or-bust big play threat regardless of whether Gardner Minshew or Nick Foles starts under center coming out of Jacksonville's Week 10 bye.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Aggravates hamstring injury

    Thielen (hamstring) left Sunday's game at Kansas City.

    Thielen was on the sideline during the Vikings' first-quarter touchdown drive, which ended with rookie Bisi Johnson getting his second score of the season. It appears Thielen aggravated his right hamstring injury, a development that leaves him questionable to return to the contest.

  • Keelan Cole WR | LV

    Jaguars' Keelan Cole: Steps up with Westbrook out

    Cole caught five of six targets for a team-high 80 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans in London.

    Cole took on a larger role with Dede Westbrook (neck/shoulder) sitting out. He had a two-game touchdown streak snapped in this one, but Cole more than made up for that by topping the 20-yard mark for the first time this season. Cole would take on some appeal in deeper formats if Westbrook remains sidelined after Jacksonville's Week 10 bye.
