Keep riding the hot hands of Colts WR Reggie Wayne, who caught a TD pass in his career-high fifth straight game last week and registered his third 100-yard outing of the year with 12 catches for 147 yards. Wayne had over 90 yards receiving in each of the two games against Houston last season with a TD in the first contest.

Keep close tabs on the availability of Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin, who has been hobbling noticeably on an injured ankle the last two games and could be better served sitting out the Bears game this Sunday.

Niners rookie WR Michael Crabtree, who had six catches for 81 yards against the Colts and came close to breaking free for a touchdown on a 27-yard catch in the second quarter, looks like he could be on the cusp of a big-time breakthrough game. Going up against Tennessee's league-worst pass defense this Sunday should improve his chances.

Packers WR Greg Jennings, who has now gone four straight games without a 100-yard receiving performance, figures to be anxious to snap that streak against the Bucs' Swiss cheese secondary. Meanwhile, Packers WR Jordy Nelson is still a week away with a knee injury.

Bears WR Devin Hester, who keeps looking better every week (7-81-0 vs. the Browns), could have some success matched up against Cardinals inconsistent CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who bit on a hitch pattern that Panthers WR Steve Smith turned into a 50-yard TD last week. Hester has missed practice time this week with an ankle injury, but he's expected to play Sunday.

Seahawks WR Deion Branch looked like a man on a mission following a 23-yard TD catch vs. Dallas, his first of the season. Both he and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who is champing at the bit for more receiving opportunities, could be fired up a little extra against the Lions' suspect pass defense.

Now that the Chargers have finally released struggling WR Chris Chambers, it's time to keep a close eye on his replacement, Malcom Floyd. At 6-foot-5, Floyd is a monster target who can get downfield and outjump defenders, making him a perfect deep threat for QB Philip Rivers. In an offense that loves to throw, Floyd should continue to see more and more passes come his way. Although owners should wait before putting him in their lineup this week against the Giants, he's certainly someone to grab.

Falcons WR Roddy White had a big game last week, but he could get bottled up against the Redskins' No. 2 pass defense. It should be a good battle between White and his former teammate, Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall. Owners should start White — his potential is too great not to — but there's a good chance his numbers will dip compared to last week's.

Titans WR Nate Washington hasn't been the deep threat Tennessee envisioned; he's averaging a paltry 8.6 yards per catch, and his longest reception has gone for all of 23 yards. That said, he's caught four TDs in seven games with the Titans. With QB Vince Young now in the lineup, the Titans' offense figures to be more conservative — and Young doesn't exactly throw the deep ball well — but Washington nonetheless has some value because he's working open time and again in the scoring zone. He caught a six-yard TD pass from Young in Week Eight.

Texans WR Kevin Walter has disappointed many fantasy owners this year, snagging just 22-261-1 in six starts and racking up a mere 29 receiving yards in each of his last three games. However, with TE Owen Daniels (knee) out for the season, Walter might see more passes come his way. The same could be said for WR Jacoby Jones, too.

Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco exceeded 100 yards receiving in each of his final two games before the Week Eight bye, and he'll provide a stern test for a Baltimore secondary that's been porous at times this season. Ochocinco caught 7-94-0 vs. the Ravens in Week Five.

Ravens WR Derrick Mason was held without a catch vs. the Bengals in Week Five, but he had a TD grab in Weeks Three, Four, Six and Eight sandwiched around the Week Seven bye. At 35, he can still get open, and a bounce-back game is likely.

Steelers WR Mike Wallace might merit a waiver claim. He had TD catches in two of his last three games before the bye as well as one catch of at least 29 yards in each of his final five games before Pittsburgh got a week of rest in Week Eight. Moreover, he rushed for 21 and 19 yards, respectively, in the Steelers' past two games.

Good news for the Lions: WR Calvin Johnson (knee) has been able to practice this week, and according to observers who watched him, he appeared to move around pretty well.

Giants WR Mario Manningham, who missed last week's game following a shoulder injury in practice, has been limited all week in his work. His status is uncertain for Sunday.

Eagles WRs DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin both are nursing foot injuries, but neither one is expected to miss Sunday's big showdown with the Cowboys.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman is still out with a broken arm, so Brandon Tate is being asked to pick up the slack. Tate might be an intriguing player to watch in the next few games, and he has added value in leagues that credit special-teams production.
