Miami Dolphins wide receiver Dee Eskridge stepped up on Saturday with three catches for 53 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Miami's 24-17 win over the Lions. Eskridge scored the Dolphins' only touchdown of the first half on an 11-yard pass from Zach Wilson. The second-round pick from Western Michigan was playing close to home and got off to a rough start by fumbling his first punt return, but he bounced back and drew praise from coach Mike McDaniel for his ability to bounce back and put together a strong performance. Last year, Eskridge started the year on Miami's practice squad and only had three receptions for 44 yards in six games. His special team abilities seem to have him on an inside track to earn a spot on the roster out of camp this season, and he could be the team's fifth receiver behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Malik Washington, who all sat out Saturday's preseason contest, giving Eskridge and rookie Theo Wease Jr. chances to step up and post big games.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant has had a quiet start to his first year in the NFL. Through seven games, the 22-year-old has recorded five catches for 46 yards on 10 targets. On the bright side, Bryant has seen a clear increase in playing time in recent weeks. After failing to play more than 33% of Denver's offensive snaps in any of the team's first four games, Bryant has played more than 50% of the snaps in each of the last three weeks. He also saw a career-high four targets in Week 7 against the New York Giants, but turned them into just one catch for six yards. Despite the encouraging trends, Bryant has a ways to go before he's worth rostering in redraft fantasy leagues. He maintains dynasty appeal, but can remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the time being.
