Jefferson caught one of four targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

With Drake London (groin) sidelined and Mack Hollins (ankle) leaving the contest early, Jefferson played the second-most offensive snaps (45) among Atlanta's wideouts. However, the newcomer failed to make a positive impression on his new team for a fourth straight week. Jefferson was consistently involved in the passing attack but secured just one reception. He also committed a penalty that wiped out a fourth-down conversion and got called for a personal foul after the Falcons' go-ahead touchdown that gave the Vikings good field position on their final drive. Between drops and penalties in recent weeks, Jefferson isn't trending in the right direction, but he'll likely keep getting opportunities if London and Hollins remain out moving forward.

Head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Jones (knee) is considered day-to-day, adding that the Jaguars haven't ruled out placing the receiver on injured reserve, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Though Jones took part in a workout Monday, the Jaguars apparently aren't yet convinced that he's fully past the knee injury and subsequent aggravation of the issue that kept him out for five of the team's last six games before a Week 9 bye. Since a stint on IR is still considered a possibility for Jones, he may need to practice in at least a limited capacity this week for the Jaguars to have more confidence that he'll avoid a longer-term absence. If Jones remains out for this Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Jaguars would likely turn to the trio of Tim Jones, Jamal Agnew and Elijah Cooks to share the No. 3 receiver role.

Hodge caught three of six targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

With Drake London (groin) sidelined and Mack Hollins (ankle) leaving the contest early, Hodge played the most offensive snaps (46) among Atlanta's wideouts. Hodge also paced the group in receiving yards, though tight end Jonnu Smith led the team in receptions and yards through the air. After a quiet start to the season (five receptions on six targets for 64 yards across the first seven games), Hodge has secured six of nine targets for 135 yards over the last two weeks. While that's not prolific production, Hodge has clearly seen an uptick in usage and production since London got hurt. As long as London and Hollins remain banged-up or out, Hodge should be on fantasy radars.

Renfrow caught two passes for 32 yards on three targets in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

Renfrow's pair of receptions came on back-to-back plays in the second quarter to set up a two-yard touchdown rush for Josh Jacobs, giving the Raiders a two-score lead. Renfrow would ultimately log just 13 offensive snaps, however, while rookie Tre Tucker earned more playing time behind fellow receivers Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers. Despite the departure of former head coach Josh McDaniels, Renfrow's role appears to remain limited ahead of a Week 10 tilt against the Jets.

Jackson had one reception for two yards on three targets and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's win at Atlanta.

Jackson played on 53 of the offense's 75 snaps as he was pressed into a larger role with K.J. Osborn leaving with a concussion and Brandon Powell dealing with cramps. Jackson could work as the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver again this week against New Orleans if Osborn is sidelined and Justin Jefferson (hamstring) isn't activated from injured reserve.

Tucker caught two of three targets for 52 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

Tucker's Week 9 performance was highlighted by a 50-yard reception late in the second quarter that eventually led to one of Josh Jacobs' two touchdowns. The rookie speedster ultimately played 28 of a possible 60 offensive snaps behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers, while fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow logged just 13. Tucker has caught exactly two passes in three of the Raiders' past four games, and he'll look to introduce his big-play ability to a stingy Jets defense Week 10.

Turpin caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown, gained zero yards on his only carry and added 71 return yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The second-year speedster took his lone kickoff return 48 yards to set up a Jake Ferguson TD late in the first quarter, and Dak Prescott then rewarded Turpin with a score of his own on the Cowboys' next possession. The 27-year-old hasn't seen more than two touches in a game on offense since Week 2, but Turpin has gotten into the end zone three times on 14 total touches this season and remains a threat to take the ball to the house every time he gets his hands on it.

Gallup caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

Despite the fact that Dak Prescott attempted 44 passes and threw for 374 yards, Gallup was barely involved in the offense once again. The veteran wideout hasn't reached 25 receiving yards in four straight games, and there's little reason to expect better numbers Week 10 against the Giants given that the Cowboys barely needed to throw the ball at all the first time these teams met this season in a 40-0 rout for Dallas in Week 1.

Cooks caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The veteran wideout had gotten into the end zone in two straight games coming into Sunday, but Cooks was barely involved in the offense despite the fact that Dak Prescott threw for 374 yards on 44 attempts. Cooks has seen more than four targets in a game only once, and while he still has some big-play potential, the 30-year-old just doesn't seem to be clicking in Dallas. He'll look to bounce back Week 10 against the Giants.

Head coach Arthur Smith said Monday that the Falcons hope London (groin) will be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

London sat out this past Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings after he was unable to practice all week, but he looks like he's trending toward a return to the lineup Week 10. The wideout's practice activity will still warrant monitoring in the coming days to ensure he's on a path to play in Arizona.
