Cooper caught two of six targets for 19 yards Sunday in a Week 8 loss to Washington.

Both of Cooper's catches came in the first half -- he didn't haul in any of his three targets in the second half. The second-year wideout led Eagles wideouts with 66 offensive snaps and finished second with the six targets, but it didn't amount to much production, as he couldn't form much of a connection with QB Tanner McKee. Despite an elevated role due to injuries to DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) the past two weeks, Cooper has just three catches for 36 yards in that span, making him an unappealing fantasy option.

Chism caught all five of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins.

Chism led the team in targets and receptions with A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) unavailable. The wide receiver played a season-high 88 percent of the team's offensive snaps, and he has now reeled in 15 of 20 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown over seven regular-season contests with New England so far this year.

Foster reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Foster was elevated to the active roster ahead of Monday night's 34-17 loss to the Bears. The wide receiver played three snaps on special teams in the contest, and he can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Miami worked out Rucker (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Two weeks after the Raiders waived him from their injured reserve list, Rucker appears to be back in football shape and is looking for a new team. The Dolphins have arguably the weakest group of wide receivers in the league, so any additions they make at the position in 2026 will be worth keeping an eye on.

The Browns released Means (knee) from their practice-squad injured list Tuesday.

Means signed to Cleveland's practice squad in early September but landed on the practice-squad injured list due to a knee injury Oct. 20. The 2024 fifth-round draft selection has now been cut, so he'll have a chance to look for work with another organization once he gets healthy. The Browns signed wideout Xavier Guillory to their practice squad in a corresponding move Tuesday.

Fehoko is listed as a starting receiver on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart heading into Sunday's game at Seattle, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Buried on the depth chart at receiver to begin the season, Fehoko mostly served as a special-teams contributor through the Cardinals' first seven games. However, with the Cardinals trading away Marvin Harrison before losing Jalen Brooks (wrist) and Kendrick Bourne (tibia) to season-ending injuries within the past two weeks, Fehoko suddenly finds himself in a position to contribute. After Bourne made an early exit in this past Sunday's 33-30 overtime victory over the Cowboys, Fehoko played double-digit snaps for the first time in 2026. He wasn't much of a factor in the Cardinals' comeback win, however, earning just one target (for a 17-yard reception) while taking the field for 40 of the team's 81 offensive play. While Fehoko could see his playing time climb even higher in Week 9, tight ends Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins, wideouts Michael Wilson (ribs) and Reggie Virgil and running back Tyler Allgeier may be better bets to command targets from quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Ross was cut from the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Ross joined Denver's practice squad Oct. 6, but he failed to be elevated to the active roster for any contests prior to being let go Tuesday. The wide receiver signed with the team in May as an undrafted free agent, and he may return to the Broncos' practice squad in the near future.

Thomas "has been the area of interest for a lot of other teams" leading up to the Nov. 10 trade deadline, Ian Rapoport of ESPN reports.

Since delivering an 87-1,282-10 receiving line over 17 games as a rookie in 2024, Thomas' production has cratered in the ensuing two seasons. He's been firmly behind fellow wideouts Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) in terms of snap share through the Jaguars' first seven games of 2026 and has drawn more than three targets in just one of those contests. Though the vertical threat Thomas presents makes him an appealing target for teams seeking a big-play receiver ahead of the deadline, Rapoport acknowledges that it's unclear if the Jaguars have much motivation to move him. Despite his declining role within the Jacksonville offense, Thomas remains under contract through next season at relatively modest cap hits of $4.01 million in 2026 and $4.66 million in 2027.

The Cardinals elevated Wallace to the active roster Tuesday.

Wallace signed to Arizona's practice squad in August and has yet to play in a regular-season game. Week 9 will be the undrafted free agent's NFL debut should he be active for Sunday's matchup against Seattle. He will likely act as a depth piece should he play.

Meyers (hamstring/ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Though he's managing a pair of lower-body concerns coming out of Sunday's win over the Colts, Meyers' ability to practice in any fashion Tuesday bodes well for his chances of playing Thursday against the Ravens. However, Meyers may need to upgrade to full practice participation Wednesday to avoid taking an injury designation into the Week 9 contest.
