  • Kristian Wilkerson: Let go by Buffalo

    The Bills cut Wilkerson from the practice squad Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Wilkerson joined the Bills' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was not elevated to the active roster through the Bills' first eight games and will now look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver. He has appeared in nine regular-season games since entering the league in May of 2020 as an undrafted free agent.

  • Terrace Marshall: Getting cut from practice squad

    Philadelphia released Marshall from its practice squad Tuesday.

    Marshall signed with the Eagles' practice squad prior to Week 1, but now he's on his way out after Week 9. He'll become a free agent, and he'll probably have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Commanders' Treylon Burks: Getting signed to active roster

    Washington signed Burks to its active roster Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The Commanders are dealing with injuries to multiple notable contributors at wide receiver, so it's not a huge surprise to see them bring up reinforcements at the position. Burks logged 32 offensive snaps in his first game with Washington in Week 9, bringing in his only target for 14 yards.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Considered limited Tuesday

    Mims (concussion) was estimated to be a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough.

    Mims was able to participate in some capacity for the first time since suffering a concussion in Week 8 against Dallas. The wide receiver remains in the concussion protocol, and he'll likely have to log a full session Wednesday to have a shot at playing in Thursday night's matchup with Las Vegas. If he's unavailable, Pat Bryant would once again see an uptick in workload in Week 9.

  • John Rhys Plumlee: Cut from Pittsburgh's PS

    The Steelers cut Plumlee from the practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Plumlee joined the Steelers' practice squad this past Wednesday after spending the offseason with the Seahawks. Now that he's off Pittsburgh's practice squad, the 24-year-old wideout will look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Zay Jones: No targets in Week 9

    Jones wasn't targeted during Monday's 27-17 victory at Dallas.

    Jones emerged from the Cardinals' Week 8 bye with practice restrictions due to a lingering knee issue, and while he proceeded to log a 52 percent snap share that was in his usual range, he was blanked in the box score for the second time in seven appearances this season. Jones is firmly behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson in the pecking order at wideout, making him a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Reels in three passes in Week 9

    Wilson hauled in three of four targets for 61 yards during Monday's 27-17 win at Dallas.

    Fueled by a 50-yard catch and run at the start of the third quarter, Wilson set a new season high in receiving yards Monday, leaving him second among Cardinals in the category for Week 9. All three of his top results in yards have come during Jacoby Brissett's three games as the starting quarterback in place of Kyler Murray. Coach Jonathan Gannon has reiterated multiple times that Murray will resume directing Arizona's offense once he's recovered from his mid-foot sprain, but that doesn't appear to be the case yet as Brissett has already been named the Week 10 starter against the Seahawks.

  • Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS

    Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Sent to IR

    The Commanders placed McCaffrey (collarbone) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    McCaffrey will be sidelined for at least four games due to a fractured collarbone, though Tashan Reed and Tom Schad of The Washington Post relay that the injury will most likely keep the wideout out for the remainder of the season. If that's the case, McCaffrey will wrap up his second NFL campaign with 11 catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns on 15 targets over nine games. The 24-year-old had also established himself as one of the NFL's top kickoff returners, ranking third in the league with an average of 29.6 yards per runback.

  • Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Nabs one pass versus Buffalo

    Smith-Schuster hauled in his only target for two yards during Sunday's 28-21 defeat against the Bills.

    Smith-Schuster logged a season-low 28 percent offensive snap share in Sunday's tilt, logging just 15 total snaps in the contest. It marked just the second time this season the veteran wideout managed fewer than two receptions in a game, but Smith-Schuster has seen a steep decline in his workload since Rashee Rice returned in Week 7. Nothing is particularly enticing about Smith-Schuster's fantasy outlook as long as the starting wideouts remain healthy.

  • Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Snap counts dwindling

    Thornton failed to reel in his lone target during Sunday's 28-21 loss against the Bills.

    Thornton got off to a hot start in 2025, registering 13 catches for 272 yards and three touchdowns through the first five games, but there's been an about-face in production since then. Over the past four contests, Thornton has tallied just one catch for 39 yards on three total targets and has logged fewer than 30 snaps in each contest (fewer than 20 in three of four). Assuming the wideout room remains healthy, it's tough to see Thornton boasting enough of a role on offense to warrant fantasy consideration in most formats.
