  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Four catches Sunday

    Henry caught four of his six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

    Henry logged 51 of 68 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and on the heels of being targeted just once in Week 8, the tight end saw more typical volume Sunday. Overall, Henry has recorded a 29-368-4 receiving line on 43 targets through nine games, a rate of production that keeps him on the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • Patriots' Kyle Williams: Sees added snaps Sunday

    Williams failed to haul in his lone target while logging 31 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

    Fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte was limited to 18 snaps Sunday due to a hamstring injury that forced his early exit from the contest. As a result, Williams saw added playing time, but he ended up being targeted just once. According to Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, head coach Mike Vrabel noted Monday that Boutte is unlikely to practice to begin Week 10 prep and could be at risk of missing next Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, in which case Williams would stand to benefit from more snaps once again.

  • Hunter Long TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Hunter Long: Does little on three targets

    Long secured one of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders.

    The 27-year-old led Jacksonville's tight ends with a 66 percent snap share despite briefly exiting Sunday's contest due to hip and knee injuries. Long is operating as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end with Brenton Strange (quadriceps) still on the mend, but he has just five receptions on nine targets for 41 yards since Strange landed on IR.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Two catches against Texans

    Bryant caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.

    Bryant filled in as the Broncos' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday with teammate Marvin Mims (concussion) sidelined for the contest. The rookie wideout played 36 of Denver's 63 offensive snaps, behind both Courtland Sutton (58) and Troy Franklin (50). Despite the solid usage, Bryant was not a significant part of the Broncos' game plan. Meanwhile, Franklin and Sutton saw 10 and six targets, respectively. Barring more injuries to Denver's receiving corps, the 22-year-old is unlikely to provide consistent production each week. Bryant should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders.

  • Cole Bishop SAF | BUF

    Bills' Cole Bishop: Another seven-stop outing

    Bishop led the Bills in total tackles during Sunday's win over the Chiefs with seven stops.

    Bishop wasn't even a sure thing to start heading into the season, but the 2024 second-rounder has run with the job amid several injuries to the Buffalo defense. He's played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in five of eight games this season and has posted back-to-back weeks of seven tackles. Bishop leads the Bills with 41 total tackles and five passes defensed on the season, while he's posted 2.0 sacks and an interception as well.

  • LeQuint Allen RB | JAC

    Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Plays season-high 22 snaps

    Allen had one carry for 10 yards and caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders.

    The 21-year-old played a season-high 22 offensive snaps but was significantly less involved than fellow rookie tailback Bhayshul Tuten, who had 10 touches on 20 snaps. Allen has played double-digit offensive snaps in seven of eight games this year but has just five carries for 32 yards and six receptions for 35 yards. He appears locked in as the Jaguars' No. 3 running back behind Tuten and starter Travis Etienne.

  • Chargers' Jaret Patterson: Excels in complementary role Sunday

    Patterson carried nine times for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

    Kimani Vidal (12 carries for 30 yards, no receptions on one target) drew the start and led the backfield with a 72 percent snap share, but Patterson outproduced him on the ground, despite playing just 18 of the Chargers' 65 offensive snaps (28 percent). The Chargers are still likely to prioritize Vidal as their top passing-down back, but the delineation of the workload on the ground between the two players could become more even moving forward in light of Patterson's strong showing in Week 9. Patterson will revert to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, but he's a strong bet to be elevated or signed to the 53-man roster in advance of next Sunday's game against the Steelers.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Punches in third TD

    Tuten carried nine times for 29 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for minus-three yards during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.

    The rookie fourth-round pick tied his season high with 10 offensive touches and scored the third touchdown of his NFL career with a one-yard run in the fourth quarter, though starting running back Travis Etienne still dominated the backfield work with a season-high 27 touches. Fellow rookie tailback LeQuint Allen actually played 22 offensive snaps compared to Tuten's 20 but received just two touches. Tuten should continue to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 running back but doesn't offer much fantasy upside with Etienne still receiving the lion's share of the opportunities.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Logs 22 yards in Week 9

    Legette caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

    Legette was evaluated for a possible concussion after taking a hit to the head in the second quarter, but he later returned and finished with 31 offensive snaps. Since posting a 9-92-1 receiving line against the Jets in Week 7, the second-year wideout has been quiet, recording just three catches for 39 yards over Carolina's last two contests. However, his lack of production in Week 9 can likely be attributed to the poor weather conditions and quarterback Bryce Young attempting only 20 passes and throwing for just 102 yards. Legette will look to bounce back in a Week 10 divisional matchup against the Saints.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Two catches in Week 9

    Hollins caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over Atlanta.

    Kayshon Boutte left Sunday's game early with a hamstring injury, resulting in Hollins leading Patriots WRs by playing 43 of 68 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. However, his production predictably dipped after a seven-catch, 89-yard effort in a Week 8 win over the Browns. Drake Maye has been spreading the ball around, and six different players have led New England in receiving through nine games thus far. "It's fun being in this group when you don't know who is going to get [the ball]," Hollins said after Sunday's game, per Reiss. "Everybody is like, 'Oh, maybe it's me this week.' But I think that also makes it hard for defenses to go against us." Hollins remains a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option, but one with a little more upside if Boutte misses additional time.
