  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Fewest snaps of season

    Raymond caught three of three targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers.

    With Amon-Ra St. Brown back in commission, Raymond saw his fewest offensive snaps of the season while tying his smallest offensive snap share, too. However, he remained secure in his role as the punt returner, returning three punts for 33 yards, and he now sits 11th in the league with a 9.7-yard punt return average.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Lions' Marvin Jones: Small role with St. Brown back

    Jones caught his only target for five yards during Sunday's 20-6 win over Tampa Bay.

    After seeing nearly 60 percent of the snaps last week, Jones fell below 30 percent with Amon-Ra St. Brown back in action. With second-year wideout Jameson Williams' role set to expand as the season unfolds, Jones' playing time could dwindle even further.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Reps capped Tuesday

    Olave (toe) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    The Saints are proceeding carefully with Olave while he manages a toe injury on a short week, but so long as he's able to take some practice reps again Wednesday, he should be in good shape to play Thursday against the Jaguars. Olave is coming off a strong showing in a Week 6 loss to the Texans, logging a season-high 87 percent snap share en route to seven catches for 96 yards on 10 targets.

  • Julio Jones WR | PHI

    Julio Jones: Lands with Philadelphia

    The Eagles signed Jones to their practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The 34-year-old free agent was seemingly waiting for a favorable landing spot to open up, and he appears to have found one in Philadelphia. With Quez Watkins (hamstring) landing on injured reserve, Jones could settle in as the Eagles' No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith once he's up to speed with the team's playbook. The Eagles are the fourth stop in four years for Jones, who hauled in 24 of 42 targets for 299 yards and two touchdowns while adding another 45 yards on five carries over 10 games with Tampa Bay in 2022. If he impresses in his first week of practice, he could be elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

  • Patriots' Demario Douglas: Practices Tuesday

    Douglas (concussion) took part in the Patriots' unofficial practice session Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    New England won't release its first Week 7 practice report until Wednesday, but Douglas' involvement in Tuesday's session suggests that he's made at least some progress through the NFL's concussion protocol. While Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster sat out the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Raiders while recovering from their head injuries, Tyquan Thornton filled in as the team's No. 3 receiver behind DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne.

  • Commanders' Jamison Crowder: No snaps on offense Week 7

    Crowder played all three of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 24-16 win over Atlanta.

    After recording his first two catches of the season in the Commanders' Week 5 loss to the Bears, Crowder was phased out on offense Sunday while all of Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown and Byron Pringle played ahead of him at receiver. Crowder should continue to dress on most game days due to his duties as the Commanders' top punt returner.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Dyami Brown: Goes without catch in Week 6

    Brown failed to reel in his lone target across 11 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-16 win over Atlanta.

    Brown's 11 snaps tied his lowest total of the season. As the No. 4 receiver on the Washington depth chart, Brown will have a limited role on offense so long as all of Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel are healthy.

  • Titans' Colton Dowell: Plays just one snap on offense

    Dowell played 15 total snaps -- 14 on special teams and one on offense -- in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Ravens in London.

    Inactive for each of the first three games of his career, Dowell has now dressed in three straight contests, but he has yet to carve out much of a role on offense. The rookie seventh-round pick has played just 16 offensive snaps over the last three weeks, drawing just one target during that span. Dowell could find himself back on the inactive list coming out of the Titans' Week 7 bye if Treylon Burks is able to play after missing each of the past three contests with a knee injury.

  • Devin Duvernay WR | ARI

    Ravens' Devin Duvernay: Goes untargeted in win

    Duvernay played 14 snaps on offense and went without a target or rushing attempt in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Titans in London.

    Sunday's game marked the first time since Week 1 that Duvernay went without a touch on offense. The speedy 26-year-old wideout made an impact on special teams, however, bringing back three punts for 91 yards.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Absent from box score

    Johnston did not record a catch on his two targets in a 20-17 loss to the Cowboys on Monday.

    There was hope the Chargers would use their early Week 5 bye to assimilate the rookie into the offense with Mike Williams (knee) out for the season, but that optimism was quickly erased as the combination of Keenan Allen and Joshua Palmer accounted for 18 of Justin Herbert's 37 pass attempts in Monday's loss. To make matters worse for Johnston's fantasy managers, Austin Ekeler returned to his typical pass-catching role after a multi-game absence and recorded four catches on six targets for 35 yards, leaving few opportunities for Johnston. The TCU standout's playing time continues to ever-so-gradually trend up, but the 22-year-old is going to need to actually do something with the increased workload to be worth having active on fantasy rosters.
