Jameson Williams WR | DET
Lions' Jameson Williams: Steps up against Commanders
Williams recorded six receptions on seven targets for 119 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
Williams has had frustratingly low production for most of the season, though he managed to top 100 receiving yards for the second time while also finding the end zone for the second consecutive contest. His longest gain of the day came midway through the third quarter when he broke free over the middle of the field and sprinted down the sideline for 41 yards. Williams also tallied a 22-yard reception in addition to his 14-yard touchdown. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties for the game, which could bode well for Williams if Campbell retains the duties moving forward.

Kyle Williams WR | NE
Patriots' Kyle Williams: Splash play on one catch Sunday
Williams brought in one of two targets for a 72-yard touchdown in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Williams was due for some added opportunity because of the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), and the rookie third-round pick cashed in with a 72-yard scoring grab down the right side on the last play of the first quarter during which he showed off his elite speed. The catch was Williams' first since Week 3, while the score was his first in the NFL. Williams could continue to see a bump in snaps during a Week 11 home matchup against the Jets on Thursday night, given the likelihood Boutte remains out due to the short turnaround.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Shaky debut with new club
Shaheed finished with one reception on as many targets for three yards while adding 20 rushing yards on two attempts in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals.
It was a shaky debut for Shaheed after being dealt to Seattle at last week's trade deadline. It could have been a worse outing with his new club had a teammate not recovered a fumble on one of the receiver's three touches on offense. The low volume is concerning, but it is worth noting that the Seahawks attempted just 12 passes in Sunday's blowout victory. Players also need time to get fully integrated into a new offensive system, so managers should not overreact to the dud in the box score. Shaheed averaged 7.3 targets prior to the trade as New Orleans' No. 2 receiver, so expect more looks to come his way against the Rams next Sunday as he continues to get acquainted with Seattle's offense.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Remains consistent
Flowers recorded four receptions on six targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings.
Flowers continued in his typical role, dominating targets and production among the Baltimore pass catchers. He logged long receptions of 27 and 22 yards, his third consecutive game with at least one catch of at least 20 yards. While Flowers is Lamar Jackson's most reliable target, he has not reached 80 receiving yards or found the end zone since Week 1.

Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Touchdown reception in upset win
Washington brought in two of three targets for nine yards and a touchdown, rushed once for four yards, returned one kickoff for 24 yards and ran back one punt for 13 yards in the Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Washington filled his usual jack-of-all-trades role and managed to make an impact as a receiver with a nine-yard touchdown reception to open the scoring. The versatile second-year pro has scored both of his TDs in the last three games, and he now has multiple receptions in eight straight contests but has yet to top 48 receiving yards in any outing this season. Washington will remain in his versatile role during a Week 11 matchup against the Commanders in Madrid next Sunday.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Gets into end zone Sunday
Coleman secured three of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 30-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Coleman was far from efficient, but he did finish second in receiving yards and targets behind Khalil Shakir and recorded his third touchdown of the season on a 35-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. Coleman's receiving yardage tally was his highest since Week 1, but his production remains modest overall, and he's posted three catches or less in seven of the last eight games. Coleman next takes aim at the Buccaneers secondary in a Week 11 home matchup.

Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Seven catches in Week 10 loss
Shakir secured seven of nine targets for 58 yards in the Bills' 30-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Shakir led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a forgettable day for Buffalo's offense despite Josh Allen throwing for over 300 yards. Shakir posted a second consecutive seven-catch effort, and he's recorded at least six receptions in four of the last five contests overall, albeit while not topping 88 receiving yards at any point in that span. Shakir takes a 45-457-3 receiving line on 58 targets into a Week 11 home matchup against the Buccaneers.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Eighth TD of season
St. Brown recorded five receptions on eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
St. Brown turned in his lowest reception total since Week 1 and his lowest target total since Week 4, but he still managed to turn in a serviceable performance. He was used primarily in the short areas of the field, logging long catches of 16 and 15 yards while also finding the end zone from nine yards away. St.Brown now has eight touchdowns on the campaign and has at least 70 receiving yards or a touchdown in seven of nine contests.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Coach optimistic about oblique
Adams suffered an oblique injury during Sunday's 42-26 win over the 49ers, but he would probably have returned if the score was closer, coach Sean McVay said after the game, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adams' status will bear monitoring ahead of Week 11 against the Seahawks, but McVay sounded optimistic regarding Adams' injury after the game. Prior to exiting in the fourth quarter, Adams caught six of eight targets for 77 yards and scored his ninth touchdown of the season.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Leading receiver in blowout win
Smith-Njigba corralled five of six targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 rout of the Cardinals.
Smith-Njigba got off to a hot start Sunday when he peeled the top off of Arizona's defense for a 43-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive. JSN was checked for a concussion in the first half, but he returned promptly without issue for the remainder of the contest. The explosive play would end up accounting for most of Smith-Njigba's final fantasy score -- even with the Seahawks dropping 44 points -- after Seattle's defense and rushing attack accounted for the remaining four touchdowns. The breakout superstar became the first player to reach 1,000 yards in receiving this season, and he sits just 89 yards shy of the career best 1,130 yards he posted in 2024. Smith-Njigba will attempt to accomplish the personal achievement in a pivotal NFC West matchup against the Rams next Sunday.
