Meyers caught his only target for 19 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

Meyers' lone target didn't come until the fourth quarter, as Jimmy Garoppolo threw for just 62 yards through the first three quarters and finished with 126 passing yards in the quarterback's return from a back injury. The wide receiver also made a heads-up play later in the fourth to momentarily keep the Raiders' faint hopes alive, jumping on top of a Josh Jacobs fumble and advancing it one yard. Meyers had at least four catches in four of his previous six appearances this season, so he'll likely be much more involved in Week 9 against the Giants, assuming Garoppolo puts forth a sharper performance.

Adams caught one of seven targets for 11 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

Adams was held without a catch in the first half as Jimmy Garoppolo mustered only 31 first-half passing yards in the quarterback's return from a back injury. The star receiver finally got into the box score with an 11-yard catch on the first play of the second half, but that was his only reception, even though Adams was the only Raider with more than four targets in this one. Garoppolo finished with just 126 yards and missed an open Adams a few times, including on a deep ball in the fourth quarter that would have produced a touchdown with an accurate throw. Las Vegas has been intent on keeping Adams ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, and assuming the team doesn't have a last-minute change of heart in that regard, Adams will hope for better play from Garoppolo in Week 9 against the Giants.

St. Brown (illness) secured six of nine targets for 108 yards in the Lions' 26-14 win over the Raiders on Monday night.

St. Brown took a questionable designation into Monday after coming down with an illness Sunday, but he suited up and looked no worse for wear. The gifted wideout led the Lions in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets, generating his third straight 100-yard effort in the process. While his catch and target totals were actually well behind the massive tallies of the last pair contests -- a stretch during which he generated 25 grabs on 34 targets -- St. Brown's fantasy night was still clearly a success. The third-year star will tangle with another AFC West opponent in the Chargers in Week 10 following a Week 9 bye.

Moore was not targeted in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Falcons.

Moore missed part of the Titans' Week 6 matchup against Baltimore with a concussion, but he was able to clear protocols in time for Sunday's contest. However, with Treylon Burks back in action, Moore was pushed down the depth chart. Overall, he has one target combined across his last three games.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one reception on two targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Falcons.

Westbrook-Ikhine played a relatively small role in the offense, as he logged a season-low 50 percent snap rate. However, he did manage to make the most of his lone reception by beating his defender to the corner of the end zone to tally his third touchdown of the season. Given the return of Treylon Burks (knee), Westbrook-Ikhine isn't likely to see his role bounce back, barring additional injuries.

Burks did not record a catch on two targets in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Falcons.

Burks returned from a three-game absence caused by a knee injury, though he was on the field for only half of Tennessee's offensive snaps. His workload should continue to tick up as the season progresses, though it may not come in a short week for Thursday's matchup against the Steelers.

Snead reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

Snead was elevated for the second time this season ahead of the team's 31-17 loss to the Bengals on Sunday, failing to record a stat while playing nine out of his 10 total snaps on special teams. The wide receiver will now have to wait for his next chance to join the active roster.

Taylor reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.

Taylor was called up with both Randall Cobb (shoulder) and Irvin Charles (shoulder) out and played 23 snaps on offense. The 27-year-old didn't record any stats but managed to draw a defensive pass interference penalty and could be elevated again next week versus the Chargers if either Cobb or Charles is out again.

Jones reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

For a second consecutive contest, Jones ranked fourth among Philadelphia wide receivers in snaps with 15 (of 63) behind A.J. Brown (62), DeVonta Smith (61) and Olamide Zaccheaus (30). Jones again had exactly one catch, but it went for an eight-yard touchdown. He has only 64 TD grabs among the 905 receptions in his 13-year career, but his size (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) could yield the occasional red-zone target, even in a loaded receiving corps.

Erickson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.

Erickson was elevated ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears but ended up being inactive, as Joshua Palmer (knee) was able to suit up. Erickson has now appeared in two games this season but has failed to record any stats while playing exclusively on special teams.
