Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught six of seven targets for 85 yards and a touchdown during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. After a week where the former Heisman winner posted -2 receiving yards against the New York Giants, Smith made up for it with a solid performance in which he led the team in receiving yards and caught the only passing touchdown of the day for the Eagles. Smith caught a 45-yard bomb to put the Eagles ahead of the Bengals 24 to 17 and they never looked back. A.J. Brown was right behind him in targets and yardage, but this was a game where running the ball in the red zone was incredibly successful, so there was just one passing touchdown to distribute. The Eagles receivers could have a big day next week against the lowly Jacksonville pass defense.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring), who is currently on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury, is doing well in his recovery and hasn't had any setbacks, according to sources. Collins will have to miss at least two more games, but there is optimism that his original three- to four-week timetable is on track. The earliest he'll be eligible to come off IR and play will be on Nov. 10 at home in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old was among the league's leading receivers at the time of his injury, so he obviously needs to be stashed by all fantasy managers for a couple more weeks. Hopefully Collins can pick up where he left off when he's back after catching 32 of 45 targets for 567 yards and three touchdowns in five games played. For another two weeks, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell will have higher ceilings with Collins sidelined.
