Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that Lazard (chest) is considered week-to-week, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Lazard isn't expected to go on injured reserve, but it does sounds like he's going to moss some more time after not playing in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. With Lazard out, Mike Williams handled WR3 duties for the Jets, but he didn't see a single target on Aaron Rodgers' 28 pass attempts.

Jones caught one of two targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to Green Bay.

Jones played a season-high 27 offensive snaps as the Jags' receiving corps was ravaged by injuries during Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old was targeted for the first time this season and should be more involved going forward with Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the year. Jones could vault further up the depth chart in the short term since Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are also banged up.

The Steelers placed Wilson (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

The third-round rookie's 2024 has been marred by injuries, and he'll now miss at least the next four games. Wilson will first be eligible to return Week 13 against the Bengals. After missing a bunch of time over the summer and the first few weeks of the regular season with an ankle injury, Wilson made his NFL debut Week 6 and is injured again. The Steelers will continue to roll with George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin as their top three wideouts.

Washington caught three of four targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.

The 22-year-old had a 73 percent snap share and delivered his most productive game of the season as the receiving corps dealt with injuries to Brian Thomas (chest), Christian Kirk (collarbone) and Gabe Davis (shoulder). Thomas' and Davis' availability remains up in the air, but Kirk already has been ruled out for the season. Washington should serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout for the rest of the campaign, and he could move further up the depth chart in the immediate term if Thomas or Davis are forced to miss any time. Washington totaled 16 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie in 2023 and now should have a chance to be significantly involved in the offense.

Agholor caught three of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Browns.

Sunday marked Agholor's highest single-game target count this season and he cashed in his first touchdown of the year with the additional opportunities. His five targets tied for second on the team and his 36 yards were tied for third. Agholor has just a 50.0 percent catch rate on the year -- which drags down his YPT (7.7) -- and he profiles as the No. 4 option in this passing game most weeks. The Ravens host the Broncos in Week 9.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Higgins (quadriceps) is considered day-to-day, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins injured his quad in practice Friday and was unable to play in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. It sounds like he's avoided a serious injury, but it's unclear if he'll be able to make it back for next Sunday's game against the Raiders. With Higgins out versus Philly, Andrei Iosivas filled in as the No. 2 receiver, followed by rookie Jermaine Burton and veteran Trenton Irwin to round out the depth chart.

Mitchell had one reception for nine yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Houston.

Mitchell again continues to be a favorite of quarterback Anthony Richardson in the fourth receiver role as he had four targets on ten routes while playing on just 13 of the offense's 64 snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. However, the Colts may switch to Joe Flacco at quarterback this week at Minnesota.

Pierce had one reception for 15 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Houston.

Pierce was able to get open deep several times, but quarterback Anthony Richardson struggled to make accurate passes to make a connection. Pierce remains one of Richardson's favorite targets but is going to be a boom-or-bust option for fantasy purposes each week as is he's mostly a deep threat in the offense.

Means suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Means was amid an increased role with Rashid Shaheed (knee) out of action, but the rookie receiver now will join him on the sidelines. It's unclear how much time the Pittsburgh product will miss, but he's likely looking at a multi-week absence. Cedrick Wilson (hip) and recent acquisition Marquez Valdes-Scantling likely will be beneficiaries in whatever time Means misses.

Conley failed to bring in his lone target in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys.

Conley earned the start sans Brandon Aiyuk (knee) in Sunday's victory, but the veteran wideout did not record a reception despite playing 52 snaps on offense (76 percent). The 32-year-old Conley has big-play potential given his size (6-foot-3) and speedy profile, but the former Chief's lack of usage makes it hard to warrant fantasy consideration outside of deep formats. The 49ers also may get healthier following the bye ahead of a Nov. 10 matchup against the Buccaneers.
