The Jaguars designated Duvernay (lower body) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

A two-time Pro Bowl return man during the first four seasons of his career in Baltimore, Duvernay signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Jaguars in the spring. He suited up in each of Jacksonville's first five games and primarily served on special teams, logging just one reception and carrying three times for 10 yards before landing on IR on Oct. 9. After sitting out the last four games, Duvernay is now healthy enough to practice, and he could be a candidate to return from IR this Sunday against the Vikings if he checks out fine during the week. Once activated, Duvernay will likely continue to provide most of his value in the return game, but he may have an opportunity to see more reps on offense with wideout Christian Kirk (collarbone) done for the season.

Bateman caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Broncos.

Bateman was on the field for 35 of the Ravens' 57 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Baltimore wideout. Despite his ample playing time, the 24-year-old was unable to get much going against the Broncos. He's endured an inconsistent season, and with the arrival of newly-acquired wideout Diontae Johnson, Bateman likely won't make for a reliable weekly fantasy option moving forward.

Johnson went without a target in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Broncos.

Johnson was a complete non-factor in his first game with the Ravens, as the veteran wideout played just 17 of Baltimore's 57 offensive snaps in the contest. His lack of involvement wasn't a huge surprise, as head coach John Harbaugh said heading into the game that Johnson would have a light role in his season debut after being acquired from the Panthers just days prior. Going forward, the 28-year-old should become a key contributor in Baltimore's passing attack once he becomes more acclimated to the playbook, but the move to the Ravens means that he won't be a focal option in the passing game like he was during his time with the Panthers.

Mithcell caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Mitchell played just five of the Colts' 54 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Indianapolis wide receiver and his lowest snap share (10 percent) of the season. The rookie wideout isn't seeing enough playing time or opportunities to maintain relevance in redraft fantasy leagues.

Nailor caught his lone target for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.

Nailor's touchdown Sunday was his fourth trip to the end zone through eight games this season. The 25-year-old continues to see steady involvement in Minnesota's offense as the No. 3 wideout, earning multiple targets in all but two games. With that said, Nailor is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes based on his inconsistent and modest production while also being touchdown-dependent. The Vikings will visit the Jaguars in Week 10.

Jarrett secured his only target for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

A week after making his season debut, Jarrett saw a notable boost to 46 snaps (84 percent) to lead all of the Buccaneers' short-handed receiving corps. However, the second-year wideout saw a drop in production after generating a 3-58 line on just 20 plays from scrimmage in Week 8, despite the ongoing absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle), as well as that of Jalen McMillan (hamstring). Even factoring in Monday's disappointing numbers, Jarrett should again have a solid opportunity in a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers.

Palmer secured two of four targets for 33 yards and returned two punts for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City on Monday.

The second-year wideout generated modest production despite a 49 percent snap share in the absence of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (ankle), and Jalen McMillan (hamstring). Palmer did record both of his catches on a game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter, but Monday's 33 yards were a season high and he's yet to top three receptions in any contest heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers.

Hardman caught all three of his targets for 17 total yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers. He also returned one punt for 30 yards.

Hardman served as the team's No. 4 wide receiver because JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was inactive. The 2019 second-round pick has produced just nine receptions for 75 yards through the last four games.

Agholor recorded one reception on one target for 29 yards Sunday in a 41-10 rout of the Broncos.

Agholor's lone reception came in the first quarter and helped set up a Derrick Henry touchdown run. Agholor logged 33 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps in the contest, his lowest mark of the season. The veteran wideout could spend less time on the field after the Ravens acquired Diontae Johnson in a trade with the Panthers last Tuesday.

Watson caught three of four targets in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers.

JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was inactive, meaning Watson served as the No. 3 wide receiver and recorded a 69 percent snap share. Watson has handled a consistent role in this offense, but he has yet to post more than three receptions or 45 receiving yards in a game this season.
