An intriguing size/speed package at 6'3/206 with legit 4.3 wheels, Campbell has impressed the coaching staff with his commitment level this offseason. With Alterraun Verner shifting to the slot in nickel packages, Campbell will vie with Chris Hawkins and Coty Sensabaugh for snaps opposite Jason McCourty.

Douglas and Malik Washington led the Dolphins in wide receiver snaps on the day and Douglas paced the pass-catching group with eight targets and 71 total yards. He was a key target for Kyle McCord in the second half, making a 38-yard reception in the third quarter. He also drew a defensive pass interference and added a leaping 22-yard grab in the fourth quarter. Douglas is the clear WR1 in the Dolphins’ offense and McCord has shown he can keep the 23-year-old rookie involved in the offense. With a Week 11 matchup against the Bills on the horizon, Douglas is a fantasy WR3.

Robinson added four receptions for six yards. Robinson has now found the end zone in back-to-back games after somehow previously going four straight weeks without a score. So it goes in what is becoming an increasingly dysfunctional offense. Robinson and company are now headed on bye before returning in Week 12 against the imposing Vikings. You won’t be benching Robinson for that one, of course, but you will be limiting your high-end RB1 expectations.

Ward also led the Titans with 39 rushing yards. He got off to an ugly start by throwing an interception to Travis Hunter. Ward attempted a throw across his body to a receiver with very little separation. He didn’t lead Elic Ayomanor enough and Hunter made a great play on the ball. Ward improved throughout the contest, but not enough to make this an awfully competitive game. Still, he threw two touchdown passes for the second time this year. The first was in Week 8 before Tennessee’s bye. Ward will be worth a look as a streamer when he takes on the Cowboys next week, though only as a low-end QB2.

The Saints wasted a few first half plays trying to get Etienne involved in his first game back from an extended injury absence. Those plays predictably went nowhere, and it was Alvin Kamara who had the big fantasy day, scoring both Saints touchdowns — one through the air, the other on the ground. Etienne logged 13 routes to 12 routes for Kamara. The Saints backfield is among the least appealing for fantasy purposes and has been for some time. Etienne will be a desperation deep league option in Week 11 against the Bears.

Cameron was on the receiving end of a pair of deep shots from Trevor Lawrence. The first was a long contested catch on the boundary and the second was a layup touchdown. Cameron was completely uncovered for a 25-yard touchdown strike. It was his third score of the year. Cameron is a better real-life player than a fantasy option, but he’ll at least be on the radar as a high-risk FLEX play for Week 11 against the Giants.

Wright is still the Dolphins’ backup running back, though this has led to limited opportunities behind Ollie Gordon. He saw 12 snaps on the day and only has fantasy value as a handcuff to Gordon moving forward.

None of the Carolina pass catchers did much in a game that saw the Panthers go ultra run-heavy. McMillan led the team in targets but was never on the same page with Bryce Young, who had one of his worst games of the season. On the season McMillan has four games with at least 75 yards, along with five games of at least five receptions. McMillan will be a WR2 option in Week 11 against a shaky Ravens secondary.

Gordon continues to operate as the Dolphins’ workhorse back, getting 20-of-23 running back carries on the day. He also saw five targets out of the backfield, operating as a useful target in the flats for Kyle McCord. Passing game utilization as a an easy-button target elevated his fantasy production on a day he did not score a touchdown. Gordon will continue to see a heavy workload en route to RB2 fantasy viability for Week 11 against the Bills.

Penix now has just one total score over his past three starts. Although the 286 yards look nice in the box score, Penix had only 86 at the break. A huge chunk of his production came with the Falcons in frantic fourth quarter comeback mode, and the “comeback” was never particularly realistic. No longer looking like a solid matchup-based streamer, Penix now goes on bye before coming off the open date vs. the Vikings’ ferocious defense. Things do get better in Week 12 against the Lions, but that’s a long time from now.

A player rolled on Bowers’ ankle in the first quarter and after a trip to the blue medical tent, he was not able to return to action. The injury-marred Bowers could be in for yet another absence, making Michael Mayer a viable fantasy option in most formats. Bowers had one catch for six yards before he suffered the ankle injury.
