  • Dylan Drummond WR | ATL

    Dylan Drummond: Back to practice squad

    Drummond reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday.

    Drummond was elevated to the active roster for the first time in his career Sunday versus the Panthers, failing to record a snap while playing eight snaps between the offensive unit and special teams. The wide receiver could be asked to join the Lions again in Week 6 if Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) can't go for a second week in a row.

  • Kwamie Lassiter: Goes back to practice squad

    The Bengals reverted Lassiter to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Lassiter saw his first action of the season Sunday against Arizona and played five offensive snaps, catching his only target for two yards. His elevation was largely due to Tee Higgins sitting out the game with a rib fracture, and Lassiter's likelihood of being elevated for Week 6 against Seattle could again depend upon Higgins' status for that contest.

  • Laquon Treadwell: Reverts to practice squad

    The Ravens reverted Treadwell to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Treadwell was elevated each of the past two weeks, though all of his work in Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Steelers came on special teams. He did see 15 offensive snaps Week 4 against Cleveland but didn't log any stats. Baltimore's wide receiver corps is mostly healthy with both Odell Beckham and Rashod Bateman returning against Pittsburgh, so there may not be room for Treadwell to see work on offense for the time being even if he is elevated again for Week 6.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Grabs one pass in return

    Jennings (shin) caught his lone target for 19 yards in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Cowboys.

    Jennings returned from a one-game absence to reclaim his role as the 49ers' slot man Sunday. The 26-year-old wound up playing 27 snaps on offense (38 percent) while receiving just one target, as head coach Kyle Shanahan continues to lean on his star talent for production. Jennings didn't make much of an impact in the box score from a fantasy standpoint, but his lone catch helped extend one of San Francisco's lengthy drives against Dallas on Sunday. A healthy Jennings will serve a similar low-usage role against the Browns next Sunday.

  • Panthers' Laviska Shenault: Handful of touches

    Shenault rushed five times for 27 yards in Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Lions.

    Shenault posted season highs in touches and scrimmage yards as the Panthers hoped to generate offense through his versatile skill set. Although his average of 5.4 yards per carry was good, Shenault's upside remains limited while averaging under 15 offensive snaps per game this season.

  • Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Suddenly no snaps

    Marshall was active but did not play a single snap in Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Lions.

    Marshall was coming off a career-best nine catches and 10 targets in Week 4, but with rookie Jonathan Mingo returning to the lineup, Marshall didn't hear his number called once. That swing came despite the Panthers trailing by a sizeable amount and ultimately passing 41 times. After averaging over 43 offensive snaps through Carolina's first four games, it'd be surprising if the healthy Marshall isn't reincorporated in Week 6 versus the Dolphins, but Sunday's goose egg showed anything can happen.

  • Shaquan Davis WR | PIT

    Shaquan Davis: Placed on injured list

    Davis (undisclosed) was placed on the Saints' practice squad injured list Monday, John Sigler of USA Today reports.

    Davis is dealing with an undisclosed injury and it's therefore hard to predict how long he'll be unavailable, but he's ineligible to return until Nov. 12. Once healthy, the wide receiver will look to earn his first elevation to the Saints' active roster this season.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Suits up Monday

    Adams (shoulder) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Packers.

    After working through a shoulder injury during a Week 4 loss to the Chargers in which he caught eight of his 13 targets for 75 yards, Adams missed practice this past Thursday and Friday before returning to a limited session Saturday and drawing an official designation of questionable for Monday's contest. With his active status versus Green Bay confirmed, Adams should remain a key receiving target for QB Jimmy Garoppolo while facing the team that he played for between 2014 and 2021. In four games to date this season, Adams has racked up a fantasy-friendly 33 catches (on 50 targets) for 397 yards and three TDs.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Small role in debut

    Williams caught two of three targets for two yards during Sunday's 42-24 win over Carolina.

    Williams' highly-anticipated 2023 debut was more or less of a dud from a production standpoint. Despite the absences of Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) and Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring), Williams tied for fourth among Lions wide receivers in snaps and didn't do much with the opportunities he was given. Meanwhile, Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and Sam LaPorta did most of the heavy lifting for a Detroit passing game that efficiently accumulated 236 yards. Even if St. Brown remains sidelined Week 6 at Tampa Bay, Williams may not be needed for the kind of volume that would warrant consideration for fantasy lineups.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Ravens' Nelson Agholor: New season high in yardage

    Agholor caught four of five targets for 64 yards Sunday against the Steelers.

    After being held to one catch for four yards against the Browns in Week 4, Agholor rebounded with one of his best games of the season. It wasn't perfect, though, as a potential touchdown pass slipped through his fingers in the third quarter that could have put Baltimore up by two possessions. Still, Agholor played the second-most snaps among Ravens receivers even with Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham returning from injury. The Ravens take on the Titans in London in Week 6.
