John Parker Romo K | ATL
Falcons' Parker Romo: Untimely miss in loss
Romo made his only field-goal attempt and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Romo connected on a 38-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter before he later pushed an extra-point attempt wide right with 4:40 remaining in regulation, leaving the Falcons down by one point. The kicker has been inconsistent through seven contests with Atlanta this year, missing kicks in three separates games. Romo has now gone 11-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making 10 of 11 PATs this season.

Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Bounces back out of bye week
Jeanty took 13 carries for 42 yards while corralling all five of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to Jacksonville.
Jeanty used the Raiders' bye week to rebound nicely from his worst game as a pro against Kansas City in Week 7, nabbing his third touchdown reception of the year in Sunday's narrow defeat. The Boise State product still finished with a per-carry average below four yards for the third consecutive contest running behind Las Vegas' shoddy offensive line, but his contributions as a receiver balanced out a nice fantasy score in the end. Jeanty will have to work for another strong outing in Week 10 against Denver's top-10 rush defense on Thursday Night Football.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Gets back on track
Johnston recorded four receptions on five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Johnston bounced back from a zero-target performance in Week 8, thanks primarily to 23- and 19-yard receptions -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. Most importantly, he seemed to regain his role in the Chargers' offense, matching Keenan Allen and Oronde Gadsden in targets. Overall, Johnston logged his highest yardage total since Week 4 and is likely to remain a volatile fantasy performer, though he has a touchdown in five of eight games this season

Josh Jobe CB | SEA
Seahawks' Josh Jobe: Suffers concussion during SNF
Jobe (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's contest against the Commanders.
Jobe sustained a concussion in the second quarter of the game, and he will now be sidelined until the conclusion of the game. In his absence, Nehemiah Pritchett stands to see an uptick in usage at cornerback versus Washington.

Ryan Fitzgerald K | CAR
Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Delivers game-winning kick
Fitzgerald made his only field-goal attempt and went 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.
Fitzgerald missed an extra-point attempt short in third quarter after it was pushed back 15 yards following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on running back Rico Dowdle. The kicker redeemed himself later, though, connecting on a game-winning 49-yard field goal as time expired in regulation. Fitzgerald has now gone 14-for-16 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while making 14 of 17 PATs over nine games so far in his rookie campaign.

Oronde Gadsden II TE | LAC
Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Leading receiver in win
Gadsden recorded five receptions on five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Justin Herbert distributed targets extremely evenly among all of his top pass catchers, including Gadsden. Even so, Gadsden narrowly led the team in receiving yards, thanks primarily to a long 34-yard catch that came just short of the end zone. This was the fourth consecutive game that Gadsden has had at least five receptions and 65 receiving yards, and he's quickly become a reliable starting tight end in all formats.

Rashee Rice WR | KC
Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Finds end zone as rusher Sunday
Rice brought in four of seven targets for 80 yards while taking two carries for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Buffalo.
Rice extended his scoring streak to three games since returning from suspension in Week 7. The 25-year-old used his legs to hit pay dirt this time around after hauling in three touchdown receptions over his previous two contests. While the Chiefs were unable to claim victory over an AFC rival Sunday, Rice continued establishing himself as QB Patrick Mahomes' favorite weapon by finishing two targets ahead of Travis Kelce (4-66-0). Fantasy managers will be forced to fill Rice's WR1 production with Kansas City on a bye in Week 10. The red-hot wideout will resume play against the Broncos on Nov. 16.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes lone FGA in overtime loss
Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
Carlson missed his first extra-point attempt of the day wide right in the first quarter, which would prove to be costly later in the game. The kicker added his only field goal of the day in the third quarter, connecting on a chip-shot 24-yard attempt. Carlson has now gone 12-for-15 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 10 of 11 PATs over eight games this year.

Brandin Cooks WR | NO
Saints' Brandin Cooks: Catches two passes Week 9
Cooks tallied two receptions (on three targets) for 16 yards during Sunday's 34-10 loss against the Rams.
Cooks once again operated as the Saints' WR3, finishing tied with RB1 Alvin Kamara for fourth on the team in targets behind Rashid Shaheed (nine), Chris Olave (four) and tight end Juwan Johnson (four). Through nine games, the 32-year-old wideout has now averaged 2.1 catches for 18.3 receiving yards per game. Cooks has also yet to eclipse 26 yards in a game this season. New Orleans will next play at Carolina in Week 10 on Sunday.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Goes 1-for-2 on FG tries in Week 9
Gano made one of two field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries Sunday in a loss to San Francisco.
Gano was wide left on a 45-yard try just before halftime to conclude an ugly first half for the Giants. He did manage to convert a chip-shot 22-yarder midway through the third quarter and made all three of his extra-point attempts. The field-goal miss was Gano's first of the campaign -- he had been 8-for-8 coming into Sunday, though he's missed four contests due to a groin injury.
