  • Robert Foster WR | NYG

    Bills' Robert Foster: Outside of game plan

    Foster was targeted once but didn't catch a pass in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

    The second-year receiver is still looking for his first catch of the year after suiting up in four games and missing three others, simply awful production for a guy that came out of nowhere last season to post a 27-541-3 line in 13 games, especially when you consider Zay Jones recently got traded. Foster is at best the fourth WR option on the team, and with No. 5 Andre Roberts being a valuable return man, the former runs the risk of being benched again if the team wants to suit up Isaiah McKenzie for more change-of-pace plays. Foster is far off the fantasy radar.

  • Keelan Cole WR | LV

    Jaguars' Keelan Cole: Grabs another touchdown

    Cole caught both his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 29-15 win against the Jets.

    The 26-year-old was involved early as the six-yard touchdown occurred barely two minutes into the first quarter, marking his second straight game with a score. Marqise Lee (shoulder) and Dede Westbrook (neck/shoulder) both exited during the first half, leading to Cole's highest snap count of the season (26), but his lack of involvement in the passing game during their absence is a bit disappointing. Cole could work as the Jaguars' No. 3 wide receiver if both players are unable to suit up Week 9.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Rams' Robert Woods: Quiet in Week 8 win

    Woods caught both his targets for 31 yards and rushed four times for six yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over Cincinnati.

    Woods was overshadowed by Cooper Kupp's seven-catch, 220-yard showing, and it was also No. 4 receiver Josh Reynolds who benefited most from Brandin Cooks exiting with a concussion. Reynolds turned his eight targets into three receptions, 73 yards and a touchdown. Woods has struggled to make a fantasy impact this year, as he's been held below 80 receiving yards in six of eight games and is still looking for his first touchdown.

  • Vyncint Smith WR | IND

    Jets' Vyncint Smith: Limited usage continues

    Smith caught two of four targets for 10 yards and added a 13-yard run in Sunday's 29-15 loss to the Jaguars.

    Smith's run was the only play to gain more than five yards on the ground for the Jets. He remains a fantasy afterthought due to a lack of usage, but the 23-year-old receiver has showcased some ability in space, with a 19-yard touchdown and now this 13-yarder on his two career rushing attempts to go with three catches for 15 yards through four games.

  • Jets' Ty Montgomery: Limited to special teams in Week 8

    Montgomery didn't touch the ball on offense in Sunday's 29-15 loss to Jacksonville, but he returned two kickoffs for 31 yards.

    Montgomery watched Bilal Powell serve as the backup to Le'Veon Bell, as Powell received four carries. Nonetheless, Montgomery's versatility still makes him the Jets running back to target should an injury befall Bell.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: One catch in Week 8

    Meyers logged 25 a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Browns, en route to catching one of his two targets for five yards.

    With Mohamed Sanu now in the team's wide receiver mix along with Julian Edelman and Phillip Dorsett, Meyers slots in no higher than New England's No. 4 option at the position, given that N'Keal Harry (ankle) could join the mix as soon as this coming weekend's tilt against the Ravens.

  • Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Catches three passes Sunday

    Dorsett was on the field for 64 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Browns, en route to catching three of his six targets for 43 yards.

    Meanwhile, Julian Edelman logged 66 snaps, while newcomer Mohamed Sanu was on the field for 37 snaps. Once Sanu becomes more acclimated with the team's offense, his workload figures to expand, probably at Dorsett's expense. There's still some deep-league fantasy value to be found from whoever serves as the Patriots' No. 3 wide receiver, but as long as Edelman and Sanu remain healthy, Dorsett's target share figures to be inconsistent.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Packers' Allen Lazard: Five catches in win

    Lazard caught all five of his targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs.

    Lazard saw the largest snap count (67 percent) of any Green Bay wideout during the Week 8 win, and he outpaced fellow receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison in terms of receiving yards. The Iowa State product appears to be entrenching himself as a reliable weapon in the Packers' aerial attack, though it remains to be seen what sort of role he'll play when Davante Adams (toe) eventually returns to the lineup.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Seahawks' David Moore: Hauls in 23-yard pass

    Moore caught one of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Falcons.

    Moore played 30 of 61 offensive snaps in the victory, clearly out-snapping Jaron Brown (17) and Malik Turner (seven). It has essentially been a rotation between Moore and Brown as the Seahawks' No. 3 wideout, although the majority of the meaningful reps have gone to Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf this year. Moore has yet to surpass 36 yards in a game this season.

  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Titans' A.J. Brown: Finds end zone

    Brown caught two of his three targets for 11 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Buccaneers.

    Brown took on a surprisingly small role in the Titans' passing attack, finishing tied for fifth on the team in targets. He also didn't work down the field with those targets, as his longest reception went for just eight yards. However, he did manage to salvage his day by collecting the game-winning touchdown with just under seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Despite Ryan Tannehill giving the offense some new life, it is clear that the team is wiling to rely on its defense and running game to try and produce wins. That makes Brown and the Titans' other receivers volatile fantasy options.
