Paul Richardson catches two passes in Week 9.

Richardson was targeted six times against the Falcons, gaining 16 yards on his two receptions. Next week, Richardson has upside against a Buccaneers defense that’s struggled this season, but there are probably better FLEX options in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

Josh Doctson scores in Redskin’s loss.

Doctson struggled with a couple of early drops against the Falcons, but he bounced back with a nice touchdown reception on a goal-line fade. Overall, Doctson caught three passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Week 9 loss. The former first-round pick will look to build on his first score of the season as the Redskins start their final eight games next week against the Bucs.

Vance McDonald caught three passes for 25 yards in Sunday’s win over the Ravens.

McDonald had a drop and was playing behind Jesse James at the end of the game, but he remains the main fantasy option for Pittsburgh down the stretch. At the season’s midway point, the 28-year-old is on pace for 52 receptions, 692 yards, and two touchdowns. He should be considered a low-end TE1 option in a good Week 10 matchup against Carolina.

Jordan Reed catches four passes in Week 9.

Reed gained 34 yards on his four reception in the Redskins’ loss to the Falcons. Through eight games, Reed is on pace for 66 receptions, 680 yards, and two touchdowns. He seemingly isn’t 100% and has been in and out of the lineup a bit during games, but he hasn’t missed any games yet, which is a positive. Reed will look to do some damage next week against Tampa Bay.

Vernon Davis catches five passes against the Falcons.

Davis gained 62 yards on his five reception in the Redskins’ Week 9 loss. It was a solid day for the veteran tight end, but he did have a deep pass intended for him that was deflected and intercepted. Through eight games, Davis is on pace for a 30/464/2 line, but he’s averaging an excellent 15.5 yards per reception. Davis is more of a real-life contributor than fantasy option for now, though.

Antonio Brown scores ninth touchdown of the year as Pittsburgh defeats Baltimore, 23-16.

Brown caught five passes for 42 yards, including a six-yard score on a screen pass in the first half. AB saw a team-high 11 targets, but the Ravens mostly did a good job against him. The usual yardage hasn’t been there for Brown with James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster both doing weekly damage, but he’s caught eight touchdowns over the past six games and is now on pace for a 102/1,192/18 pace at the season’s midway point. Consider the four-time All-Pro an elite WR1 for Thursday night’s matchup against the Panthers.

Maurice Harris sets career-high in receiving against the Falcons.

Harris caught ten passes (on 12 targets) for 124 yards, with a long of 33 yards, in the Redskins’ Week 9 loss. The ten receptions and 124 yards were both career-highs, and it’s the type of performance that could lead to Harris remaining a huge part of the offense the rest of this season and beyond. The third-year player has shown major flashes when given opportunities, and he’s an intriguing dynasty-league hold at the very least.
