Bowers went “sicko mode” in his long-awaited return from an early-season ankle injury, drawing a target on nearly 40 percent of his pass routes and producing after the catch with acceleration that would be shocking for a wide receiver, much less a tight end. Bowers scored in the fourth quarter and in overtime before the Raiders went for two and the win, only to have a pass batted down at the line of scrimmage. Bowers dominated the Vegas passing attack. Geno Smith hardly looked anywhere else, especially in the red zone. If Bowers can manage to stay upright and healthy over the next couple months, those who drafted him in August could be in for a big payoff. He’ll match up against the tough Denver secondary in Week 10.

We believe him, if only because the Rams’ No. 1 wide receiver plays through the pain whenever possible. Nacua was injured on a jet sweep in the third quarter, taking a hard hit to the right side of his body before landing hard on his chest. Anything from a ribs issue to an SC joint injury seems plausible. For what it is worth, Nacua showed no ill effects from the ankle injury he suffered in Week 6 against the Ravens. The Rams promisingly got him involved immediately on the first play from scrimmage. He closed the opening drive by catching 4-of-4 targets for 33 yards, and caught 7-of-8 targets for 95 yards and one touchdown on the day. If he can face the 49ers next week, he can be started as a high-end WR1.

Brown exited the game in the fourth quarter and did not return. Returning from a shoulder injury, Brown had 25 yards on three receptions before sustaining the head injury. Brown had operated as the team’s No. 3 wideout before the injury. Parker Washington could see yet another increase in targets if Brown misses time.

With Travis Hunter (knee) out and Brian Thomas invisible for much of the contest, Washington led the Jaguars with nine targets and was just a hair behind Thomas — who sustained a hip injury in the second half against the Raiders — for the team lead in air yards. Washington ran a route on 39 of Trevor Lawrence’s 43 drop backs on the day and was targeted on a several high leverage downs. Though the Jaguars were run-heavy and extremely conservative against Vegas, Washington’s role could be interesting for fantasy purposes if Hunter misses the rest of the regular season. Lawrence’s total lack of chemistry with the shockingly low-effort Thomas could help Washington’s case as the Jags’ No. 1 wideout going forward.

He also threw a short touchdown on a trick red zone play. It was Moore’s best statistical output of 2025. He entered Week 9 with one touchdown on 26 receptions as a secondary part of Ben Johnson’s offense. On Sunday against a weak Bengals defense, Moore — dealing with a lingering groin injury — led Bears wideouts in catches and yards as Rome Odunze went without a catch on three targets. Moore saw a target on a meager 15 percent of his pass routes, however. He’s still not a prominent part of the Bears offense and should be considered a WR3/4 next week against the Giants.

Kupp came into the weekend listed as questionable but ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced earlier in the day Sunday that it was likely Kupp would be sidelined for Sunday Night Football. The team made that speculation a reality when they released inactives 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Seattle will be down three of their top four wide receivers, with only Jaxon Smith-Njigba active, of the team’s normal contributors. Also inactive for the Seahawks are CB Derion Kendrick, QB Jalen Milroe, WR Jake Bobo, LB Jared Ivey, T/G Mason Richman, and WR Dareke Young.

Brutal. Alt is likely headed toward an extended absence even if surgery is deemed unnecessary. He missed Weeks 5-7 after suffering high-ankle sprain in Week 4. The exceptionally talented 22-year-old successfully switched from right tackle to left tackle after incumbent LT Rashawn Slate suffered a season-ending patellar tendon rupture in August. Hopefully, Alt has a chance to return later this season if he does indeed require surgery.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero adds that Jones “believes he’ll be able to play next week,” though he will undoubtedly undergo further testing and the medical team will make the final assessment. The AC joint connects the clavicle to the shoulder, which obviously makes grinding through contact difficult when it is injured. His teammate, RB Jordan Mason, attempted to play through an AC joint sprain suffered in Week 6, with the 49ers, last year but re-injured it in Week 8. Jones could certainly be active next week against the Ravens, but Mason must be rostered everywhere. Stay tuned.

Nacua was injured on a jet sweep from the Saints’ seven-yard line, running right to left. The injury occurred in the third quarter. He absorbed contact on his right shoulder as he was tackled and landed hard on his chest after gaining three yards. He then walked off the field under his own power and knelt down to speak with the training staff. As Nacua left the field, he appeared to be slightly hunching toward his right side, while allowing his right arm to remain neutral at his side, unmoving. He was then escorted to the locker room. He is questionable to return, having caught 7-of-8 targets for 95 yards and one touchdown and rushing once for three yards.

London led the Falcons in targets and made one contested catch after another to keep Atlanta in the game against the Patriots. He drew the Christian Gonzalez shadow but made a pair of jump ball touchdown catches for one and two-yard scores in the first half. He made another big contested catch over Gonzalez for 40 yards in the fourth quarter; Gonzalez exited the game with a head injury after the play and London made a one-handed eight-yard grab for the Falcons’ final score of the game. The extra point kick was missed and the Falcons were not able to push for a score late despite a 25-yard catch by London on the final drive. Fantasy managers get a highly encouraging three-score performance from London and he ranks as a high-end WR2 for Week 10 against the Colts.
