A.T. Perry WR | PIT
Saints' A.T. Perry: Hauls in first two passes
Perry accrued two receptions (on four targets) for 38 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Vikings.
Perry saw the first significant usage of his career, playing 84 percent of New Orleans' offensive snaps while also logging the first four targets of his rookie season. The sixth-round pick was a healthy scratch through the first seven weeks of the season, but he made his NFL debut Week 8 after surpassing Keith Kirkwood on the wideout depth chart. Perry also came through big when he went up and made a contested touchdown catch on a pass thrown all the way back across the field by backup quarterback Jameis Winston, who relieved injured starter Derek Carr (shoulder) late in the second quarter. Perry's usage was likely expanded after starting wideout Michael Thomas was ruled out with a knee injury early on in Sunday's game. The Saints are on bye Week 11, so it will be worth monitoring Thomas' injury status when determining what, if any, value Perry may have in the Week 12 contest against Atlanta.

Trey Palmer WR | NO
Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Two catches in Week 10 win
Palmer (neck/illness) brought in two of four targets for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Palmer was able to record multiple receptions for the third straight game. The speedy rookie has also seen at least four targets in each contest during that span, and his 54 snaps Sunday actually put him ahead of both Mike Evans (47) and Chris Godwin (50). Palmer should continue to play a solid complementary role in a Week 11 road showdown with the 49ers.

Trent Sherfield WR | BUF
Bills' Trent Sherfield: Officially out
Sherfield (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Broncos.
Sherfield was originally given a questionable designation to return, but he has since been downgraded. The depth pass catcher failed to record any statistics before exiting the game.

Trent Sherfield WR | BUF
Bills' Trent Sherfield: Questionable to return
Sherfield (ankle) is questionable to return to Buffalo's game versus the Broncos on Monday.
Sherfield went down with an ankle injury in the first half and is now a question mark to return. The 27-year-old didn't record any stats before exiting the game, and Deonte Harty should see more playing time if Sherfield is unable to come back.

Derius Davis WR | LAC
Chargers' Derius Davis: Plays 15 snaps in loss
Davis caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Lions.
The rookie speedster played a career-high 15 offensive snaps in what became a shootout almost from the word go. One week after registering an 84-yard punt-return touchdown, Davis ripped off a nice 27-yard kickoff return and now has four games with at least a combined 30 return yards. The lack of playing time will make it difficult to roster the rookie even in deeper fantasy leagues, but he's clearly a playmaker for an offense that has been inconsistent at times this year.

Willie Snead WR | MIA
Willie Snead: Reverts to practice squad
Snead reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday.
Snead failed to record any stats while playing 14 snaps on offense in Sunday's win against the Jaguars. The 31-year-old has already been elevated to the active roster three times this season, so the team will have to officially sign Snead in order for him to play again for San Francisco this season.

Malik Taylor WR | DET
Malik Taylor: Back to practice squad
Taylor reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.
Taylor played 10 snaps on offense and 13 on special teams, catching one of his two targets for six yards during the Jets' loss to Las Vegas on Sunday. With the 27-year-old now out of elevations, the Jets will have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play for New York again this season.

DJ Turner WR | LV
DJ Turner: Reverts to practice squad
Turner reverted to the Raiders' practice Monday.
Turner played 16 snaps on special teams during Sunday's win versus the Jets but didn't record any stats. The 26-year-old has already been elevated on three occasions this season, so he'll have to be officially added to the active roster in order to play another snap for the Raiders this season.

Austin Watkins Jr. WR | PHI
Austin Watkins: Back to practice squad
Watkins reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Monday.
Watkins was active for Sunday's win against the Ravens with both Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee) out but didn't play any snaps. The 25-year-old will now wait for another opportunity to be called up again.
