  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Jets' Xavier Gipson: Career-high receiving total Monday

    Gipson caught both of his targets for 32 yards in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers.

    Not only were Gipson's 32 receiving yards a career high, they marked the highest total in a game this season by a Jets wide receiver not named Garrett Wilson or Allen Lazard. That stat is more of an indictment on the state of New York's passing game than a compliment to Gipson, but the dearth of quality alternatives at least creates an opportunity for the rookie to carve out a larger role moving forward. Gipson also returned three punts for eight yards in Monday's loss.

  • Panthers' Laviska Shenault: Missing another practice

    Shenault (ankle) is not expected to practice Tuesday, Augusta Stone of the Panthers' official site reports.

    The fourth-year wideout has already missed two games in a row with an ankle issue, and with Shenault likely recording another DNP on Tuesday, he seems to be a longshot to suit up for Thursday night's contest. Through six games this year, Shenault has recorded 98 yards from scrimmage on 19 total touches.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Titans' Treylon Burks: Not expected to play Sunday

    Burks (concussion) is unlikely to play in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Burks remains in the concussion protocol after slamming the back of his head on the ground in last Thursday's loss to the Steelers. This is at least his second concussion through his first two pro seasons. With Burks likely out for Week 10, the Titans will rely on DeAndre Hopkins, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Chris Moore to soak up the wideout snaps.

  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Posts season-high catch count

    Hardman gathered in all three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.

    Hardman's playing time remains limited, as he logged 13 offensive snaps Sunday (22 percent), after he logged 22 in Week 8. Still, he drew three targets in his limited snaps, albeit turning his three catches into very little. Hardman remains primarily a special teams contributor and is unlikely to warrant a look in fantasy unless things take a significant upward swing in the coming weeks. However, he has a bye on tap to get some additional work in with the offense.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Panthers' DJ Chark: Another DNP on Tuesday

    Chark (elbow) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    The Panthers appear to be taking it easy with Chark as he tends to an elbow injury for a second week in a row. He capped last week's practices with back-to-back limited sessions, but after consecutive DNPs to begin Week 10, he has just one more chance for on-field work ahead of Thursday's game at Chicago.

  • Justin Watson WR | HOU

    Chiefs' Justin Watson: Matches season-high target count

    Watson caught two of his five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 21-14 win against the Dolphins.

    Watson equaled his season-high target count from Week 2 against the Jaguars on Sunday in Frankfurt, Germany, but he didn't make much out of the increased looks. Another tally in Watson's favor was that he played a season-high 63 percent of the offensive snaps, likely factoring into his increased target volume. If the veteran wideout continues to play regularly, there could be a bit more fantasy upside to his game, though it's worth noting Watson has yet to find pay dirt this year. He also hasn't produced more than 62 receiving yards in a contest this year.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Small showing in Frankfurt

    Toney caught his only target for 18 yards during Sunday's 21-14 win against the Dolphins.

    Toney has no more than one catch in any of his last three games, totaling just three grabs for 35 yards on three targets over that span. He's seemingly been phased out of the offense a bit more since the Chiefs reacquired Mecole Hardman prior to Week 8, and there's little to suggest any increase in playing time is forthcoming. He can safely be left on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy formats at this point.

  • Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Held without catch

    Berrios wasn't targeted while playing 17 snaps on offense during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs.

    Berrios managed to suit up and play through his hamstring injury despite being officially listed as questionable, but it was Cedrick Wilson who handled the majority of No. 3 receiver work for Miami. With just three catches for 15 yards on five targets across his last three games, it's clear that Berrios' role on offense has diminished with Wilson's emergence and the arrival of Chase Claypool. When the Dolphins take on the Raiders in Week 11, after a bye, Berrios will once again do most of his damage on special teams.

  • Skyy Moore WR | GB

    Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Playing time drops in Week 9

    Moore caught two of three targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 21-14 victory versus the Dolphins.

    Moore logged just 25 percent of the offensive snaps for the Chiefs in Week 9, his lowest percentage of the season. His stat line falls on par with previous weeks, with his two grabs matching his output in three of the previous four games, but he did finish with his highest receiving yardage total since Week 3 against the Bears. Regardless, there's little to get excited about surrounding the second-year wideout's fantasy prospects the rest of the way.

  • Rondale Moore WR | MIN

    Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Musters eight total yards in Week 9

    Moore recorded one catch on two targets for five yards and added three rushing yards on four carries during Sunday's 27-0 loss at Cleveland.

    During a game in which the Cardinals had a paltry 58 net yards of offense, it was no surprise that Moore wasn't able to do much despite seeing his typical touch volume (five) and snap share (67 percent). On the season, he's averaging 4.6 touches for 30.9 yards from scrimmage per game, which are numbers he may be able to improve upon once Kyler Murray (knee) is back from injured reserve -- something that may happen as soon as Sunday against the Falcons.
