  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Modest performance against Jags

    Jefferson recorded five receptions on nine targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Jefferson tied for the team lead with nine targets, a mark he's now hit in three consecutive games. While opportunity wasn't an issue, Sam Darnold's accuracy was, as three of his passes to Jefferson were picked off. Darnold also targeted Jefferson primarily in short areas of the field, limiting him to a long gain of just 15 yards. While it was a down performance, Jefferson entered Sunday having topped 80 receiving yards in all but one contest for the season, and he should be projected to bounce back in Week 11 against the Titans.

  • Keenan Allen WR | LAC

    Bears' Keenan Allen: Leading receiver in Week 10 loss

    Allen caught five of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Patriots.

    While his production was modest, it was was enough to lead Chicago in catches and receiving yards, and the 44 yards were actually a season high for the former Charger. Injuries along the offensive line have completely sabotaged the Bears' offense -- Caleb Williams was sacked nine times Sunday -- but Allen's reliability as a possession receiver at least allows him to maintain a decent PPR floor. Unless the offensive line gets healthier though, it will be tough to rely on any part of the Chicago offense heading into a Week 11 rivalry game against Green Bay.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Quiet in Sunday's loss

    Moore caught three of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Patriots. He added three rushing yards on his lone carry.

    Caleb Williams was sacked nine times on the day and had no time in the pocket behind an injury-ravaged offensive line, and as a result Moore's production suffered once again. Over the last four games, the star wideout has managed just a 13-104-0 line on 24 targets. Unless the offensive line gets healthier, Moore and the rest of the Bears' skill players will be tough to trust heading into a Week 11 rivalry game against the Packers.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Scores first career TD

    Pearsall had four receptions (six targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.

    Pearsall got the scoring started in the first quarter when he took a deep pass from Brock Purdy for 46 yards while extending the ball for the first touchdown of his professional career. The 24-year-old Pearsall served as the team's third wideout behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but the rookie was the only one of the three to get into the end zone. Pearsall appears to be gaining confidence in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense as the team prepares to take on the Seahawks next Sunday.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Career-high four catches Sunday

    Boutte caught four of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.

    On a tough day for both offenses, Boutte led the Patriots in targets and set a new career high in receptions. The second-year wideout has seen exactly six targets in three straight games, and in five contests since rookie Drake Maye took over as the starting QB, Boutte has posted a 13-203-1 line on 23 targets. He'll try to build on that modest production in Week 11 against the Rams.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Four grabs in Sunday's win

    Douglas caught four of five targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.

    Neither offense saw much success Sunday, but Douglas at least tied for the Patriots' lead in receptions with Kayshon Boutte, Douglas' 50 yards were his highest total since Week 6, and on the season he sports a modest 39-356-1 line on 53 targets through 10 games. The switch to rookie Drake Maye under center gives the New England passing attack more upside, but so far Douglas hasn't benefitted on a consistent basis. The slot receiver could make a bigger impact in Week 11 against the Rams.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | WAS

    49ers' Deebo Samuel: Takes eight touches for 76 yards

    Samuel (hip/oblique) corralled five of six targets for 62 yards and added 14 rushing yards on three attempts in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    Samuel used the 49ers' recent bye week to heal up from a pair of injuries sustained in a Week 8 win over Dallas on Oct. 27. The dual-threat superstar took eight touches for a combined 76 yards for fantasy managers Sunday. Assuming he escaped this contest unscathed, Samuel should continue to be a focal point on offense for San Francisco in a crucial NFC West battle against the Seahawks next Sunday.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Leading receiver Sunday

    Jennings (hip) finished with seven receptions (11 targets) for 93 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.

    Jennings returned from a two-game absence (three weeks including the bye) and wound up leading the 49ers in receiving yards. The veteran slot man was also elevated to No. 2 on the depth chart following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury, which occurred in the same contest Jennings suffered his hip injury. With good health and a larger role on offense, Jennings is looking like a hot pickup in fantasy for the second time this campaign. The 26-year-old can be considered a strong flex option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Seattle.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Panthers' David Moore: Quiet in Week 10

    Moore caught two of his four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Giants.

    The veteran wideout's production hasn't increased despite more opportunities following Diontae Johnson's trade to the Ravens on Oct. 29. Moore has now caught just four of his eight targets for 28 yards across Carolina's last two games. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) expected to return from injured reserve in the near future, Moore will likely be demoted to the Panthers' No. 4 wide receiver spot.

  • Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Healthy scratch Sunday

    Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Just five days removed from getting traded from Carolina to Dallas, Mingo won't be available in his first chance with his new squad. The acclimation process could take some time, but the Cowboys also are in some limbo with QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely to undergo season-ending surgery. Cooper Rush is taking over for Prescott under center, and top WR CeeDee Lamb is playing through a shoulder injury, so Mingo may not have to wait long for his next game action if the team turns its focus toward the future.
