Vele caught all four of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.

After a quiet performance in Week 9, Vele had a nice bounce-back performance against Kansas City while scoring his first career touchdown. The rookie wideout's 35 offensive snaps were the most he's played in six games thus far, so it's possible the developing chemistry between him and quarterback Bo Nix could continue to lead to more playing time for Utah product. Vele will look to build off his solid performance when the Broncos host the Falcons in Week 11.

Robinson failed to garner a target in Sunday night's 26-23 victory over Houston.

Robinson played just four offensive snaps, operating as an extreme depth option at wide receiver once again in Week 10. He had seen a slight uptick in usage over the past two weeks, but with Jameson Williams returning from a two-game suspension, Robinson reverted back to the bench versus the Texans. Over five games with the Lions in 2024, the veteran wideout has caught one of three targets for two yards.

Patrick failed to garner a target in Sunday night's 26-23 win over the Texans.

Patrick saw his workload go down in Week 10, as he played only 48 percent of the team's offensive snaps after seeing more than 70 percent in back-to-back games. The return of Jameson Williams from a two-game suspension dropped Patrick back into a depth role at wide receiver, although he posted just a 2-12-0 line on three targets in the two games Williams missed. Sunday marked the first time in eight games this season that Patrick failed to see a target.

Williams secured his lone target for a 32-yard touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.

Williams was on the field for just nine offensive snaps during his first game in a Steelers uniform, but he made his presence felt by securing a go-ahead touchdown with 2:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was the first time he'd reached the end zone this season, after being shut out in nine games for the Jets, and his volume with the Steelers figures to grow as he gets more familiar with the playbook.

Jefferson failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 28-27 win over Washington.

Jefferson had a season-best performance in the Steelers' final game before their Week 9 bye, securing four of five targets for 62 yards. Although he was on the field for 71 percent of the team's offensive snaps against the Commanders, the 2020 second-rounder was held without a catch for the third time this season. Jefferson hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this year, and his role seems likely to diminish as Mike Williams gets up to speed on the playbook.

Tolbert caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The wideout's first game of the year without Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center didn't go smoothly. Tolbert got a few short receptions from Cooper Rush, but when Trey Lance took over the offense late, the duo failed to connect on a deep pass that went for an interception. In fact, Tolbert never even turned around to see if the ball was coming his way. Prescott could be headed for season-ending surgery, and no matter who his replacement at QB is, Tolbert's ceiling figures to be a lot lower heading into a Week 11 clash with the Texans.

Washington played 23 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.

The 22-year-old worked as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout with Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) returning from injuries, and Washington didn't end up being involved in the passing attack. He caught six passes for 87 yards across the previous two games, but the Jaguars' offense doesn't have much upside with Mac Jones under center instead of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

Osborn logged 29 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After being a healthy scratch in Week 9, Osborn returned to the mix Sunday, while finishing second among New England's wideouts in terms of snaps. However, he didn't catch his only target in the contest, and unless his volume picks up in the coming weeks, he'll remain off the fantasy radar.

Though Bourne was active for Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, he didn't log any snaps in the contest, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

After recording four catches on six targets for 41 yards in the Patriots' overtime loss to the Titans in Week 9, Bourne was the odd man out among the team's wideouts Sunday. While he figures to re-enter the mix in the coming weeks, the veteran is off the fantasy radar unless he reclaims a key role in the New England offense, something that seems unlikely while the team is focused on developing younger WRs like Kayshon Boutte and Ja'Lynn Polk.

Thomas caught two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.

The rookie first-round pick played 86 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps but saw fewer than five targets for the third straight game. The Jaguars struggled to move the ball with Mac Jones under center, and Thomas' fantasy upside is likely to be limited while Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is unavailable.
