It's Monday 11 AM and we still have Monday Night to get through, but Sunday gave us plenty to talk about. Here's who moved the needle.
RISERS
CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys - 16 targets, 10 catches, 195 yards, 1 TD. He's 2nd in the NFL in receiving yards at 904 and tied-2nd in TDs at 7. Fire him up every week, full stop.
Christian Watson, Packers - 7 catches on 8 targets for 171 yards and a TD, averaging 24.4 yards per catch. He leads the NFL in yards per reception at 17.9 on the season. Jordan Love, Packers looked locked in too - 23/29, 372 yards, 3 passing TDs, a rushing TD, 0 INTs.
Kenneth Walker III, Chiefs - 18 carries, 102 yards, 1 rushing TD, plus 4 catches for 41 yards and 2 receiving TDs. He's 2nd in the NFL in rushing yards at 872 and 2nd in yards per carry at 5.5. That's a full workload with a TD hat trick.
Kayshon Boutte, Texans - Only 5 targets but he hit on 4 of them for 125 yards and 2 TDs. Season ranks are modest (tied-108th in receptions), so check your league before overreacting, but that's a big-play line you can't ignore.
Puka Nacua, Rams - 19 targets, 14 catches, 150 yards, 1 TD. That target share is absurd. He's questionable with a knee this week though, so keep an eye on the injury report before locking him in.
FALLERS
Bijan Robinson, Falcons - He's 1st in the NFL in rushing yards at 880, but his team lost and his line was 19 carries, 100 yards, 1 TD. Solid enough on paper but he couldn't do much with the game slipping away.
Ja'Marr Chase, Bengals - 12 targets sounds fine but 10 catches for 155 yards and a TD is actually a good day; honestly not a true faller. Don't bench him - he's tied-2nd in receiving TDs at 7 on the season.
What's everyone starting on Monday Night?
