Robinson joined Atlanta two years ago when the team hired Raheem Morris as their head coach. He had previously worked under Sean McVay for five years, working his way up to pass game coordinator for the final two. Robinson started off strong, getting Atlanta to 13th in points scored despite Kirk Cousins struggling in his first year as a Falcon. The switch to Michael Penix in 2025 didn’t go as planned and the team cratered to 24th in scoring. The hope for Baker Mayfield and company will be that Robinson was simply dealt a bad hand in Atlanta. The hiring bodes particularly well for Bucky Irving. Atlanta ranked top-10 in rushing yards in both of Robinson’s seasons with the team.

Robinson struggled to stand out in a Titans receiving room that was without Carnell Tate today. He logged a measly 10 percent target share and was relegated to check-down duties. Robinson has yet to hit 60 yards in a game this year and the PPR volume is not materializing. He will be buried in the WR4/5 range when the Titans take on the Cowboys next week.

Washington led all Dolphins wide receivers in snaps, but fell behind Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman in targets. He caught all three of his targets, including a circus catch to reel in a dangerous throw from Kyle McCord in the third quarter. The Dolphins also dialed up some trickery in the second quarter with Washington taking a toss and finding Jalen Tolbert downfield for a 34-yard passing touchdown. Ultimately, Washington is on the field a lot for the Dolphins and still ranks in the WR4 range for Week 11 against the Bills.

Spears didn’t gain any yards on his only catch of the day. Tony Pollard, on the other hand, caught eight passes and rushed nine times. Spears missed three weeks with a knee issue and likely had his snaps limited by the team today. On the other hand, Pollard has played well this year and the team chose to hold onto him at the trade deadline despite receiving some interest. Spears is likely stuck in a backup role headed into Week 11. He will be an RB4 when the Titans take on the Cowboys.

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. The Chiefs’ defense wasn’t set on Robinson’s three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. 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.
