Slayton tallied three catches (on four targets) for 21 yards in a blowout Week 10 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Slayton tied for the team lead in targets and receptions, but that didn't amount to much production on a day when rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito threw for only 86 yards in his first NFL start. Slayton continues to log a healthy snap count every week and leads Giants wideouts in targets and receiving yards on the campaign, though that's amounted to a quiet 26-337-0 line through 10 contests. Daniel Jones (knee) is out for the season, so unless DeVito manages to break out unexpectedly behind New York's porous offensive line, the rest-of-season outlook for Slayton isn't promising.

Iosivas (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Cincinnati's practice estimate Monday, Jay Morrison of Pro Football Network reports.

It's not clear at this point when Iosivas sustained the knee injury or how severe it might be. The Bengals' injury reports Tuesday and Wednesday will paint a clearer picture of whether he'll be available for Thursday's game at Baltimore.

Higgins (hamstring) is considered unlikely to play in Thursday's game against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Higgins was officially listed as a non-participant on the Bengals' estimated practice report Monday, one day after he sat out Cincinnati's Week 10 loss to the Texans. Though the Week 11 contest has huge implications in the AFC North standings, Higgins doesn't look as though he'll be able to play through the injury on a short week. While Higgins was sidelined on Sunday and while Ja'Marr Chase nursed a bruised back, Tyler Boyd paced the receiver group in playing time (92 percent snap share), finishing with an 8-117-0 receiving line on a team-high 12 targets. Higgins' absence also opened up a spot in three-wide sets for Trenton Irwin, who caught two of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown while playing 82 percent of the snaps.

Renfrow caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.

Renfrow played ahead of rookie Tre Tucker in the No. 3 receiver role for the Raiders on Sunday Night Football, but alpha Davante Adams was targeted on nearly half of Aidan O'Connell's 27 pass attempts, hogging 13 looks from the rookie quarterback while Renfrow saw just one opportunity come his way. Renfrow has yet to find the end zone through the team's first 10 games of the season, but Las Vegas could be forced to throw more often as a heavy underdog against the Dolphins in Week 11.

Tucker rushed once for nine yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.

Tucker wasn't targeted in the passing game on Sunday Night Football, and he played just 15 offensive snaps behind fellow receivers Davante Adams (62), Jakobi Meyers (58) and Hunter Renfrow (27). The rookie is averaging 20.8 yards per reception through his first nine games in the NFL, but Tucker's sample remains minuscule with just six total catches on the season.

Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that Thomas has a "fairly significant" knee injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas left Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Vikings early and was never able to return. Allen said Thomas' injury isn't believed to be season ending, but the veteran wideout will be rehabbing through the Saints' well-timed Week 11 bye. If Thomas needs to miss time, rookie A.T. Perry is likely the next man up alongside Chris Olave with Rashid Shaheed sticking in his part-time role.

Carter rushed once for 15 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets. He also returned three punts for 49 yards and one kickoff for 25 yards.

Carter continues to get a majority of his work in the return game, playing just seven offensive snaps for the Raiders on Sunday Night Football. His 15-yard run was good enough to move the chains on a fourth-and-one from Las Vegas' own 44-yard line in the fourth quarter, but Carter's touch volume figures to remain limited against the Dolphins in Week 11.

Austin secured his lone target for three yards while rushing once for six yards during the Steelers' 23-19 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Austin has recorded at least one rushing attempt in four consecutive games, but his fantasy impact has still been limited. Over his four appearances since the Steelers' Week 6 bye, he's secured three of four targets for 22 yards while rushing six times for 27 yards. Unless several of Pittsburgh's receivers deal with injuries at some point, Austin doesn't have much fantasy relevance.

Taylor caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.

Taylor was elevated from the practice squad for the Week 10 loss, marking the third time he's been promoted to the active roster. He has two catches across those three games. With Taylor out of elevations, the Jets will have to add the wide receiver to the active roster in order to use him again on game days this season.

Gipson caught one of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders. He also returned one kickoff for 14 yards and had one punt return for five yards.

For the second consecutive game, Gipson finished second among the Jets' wide receivers in receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson. The undrafted rookie out of Stephen F. Austin has flashed some big-play ability, but he hasn't been targeted frequently enough to produce consistently on offense, as Gipson's three targets Sunday marked a new career high.
