Shaheed reeled in all three targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 24-17 victory against the Bears.

Shaheed was targeted on three short passes by Derek Carr on Sunday. As a result, the 24-year-old wideout's longest play from scrimmage was a 12-yard reception early in the fourth quarter. The speedster's fantasy production is heavily tied to his explosiveness after the catch and as a downfield receiving threat. But New Orleans' passing offense has once again been limited this season despite the addition of Carr, as the 32-year-old is averaging just 6.7 yards per attempt through nine games. Shaheed has also received a somewhat inconsistent number of targets this season, seeing four or fewer targets in five of nine games. Moving forward, expect Shaheed to continue facing competition for downfield targets from No.1 wideout Chris Olave while Michael Thomas, tight end Juwan Johnson and running back Alvin Kamara all vie for short-yardage targets as well.

Claypool was not targeted during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs.

Claypool has secured one catch for three yards on two targets across three appearances with the Dolphins. He did, at least, reach a new high mark with 22 percent of offensive snaps played for Miami in Week 9. During the team's upcoming bye, Claypool will have an opportunity to get more familiar with the Dolphins' scheme. His next chance to increase his involvement will come Week 11 versus the Raiders.

Turner reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Turner was on the field for all 18 special-teams snaps while also participating on three offensive plays (five percent) in the Week 9 win over the Giants. He ultimately recorded one tackle on kick coverage. It remains to be seen if the special teamer will be called up again for Week 10.

Mingo caught one of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Colts.

Mingo played a career-high 70 offensive snaps, yet his production was the worst of his rookie year. Although he's immediately carved out a role as a complementary wideout, Mingo's stock is hurt by featuring in one of the league's least effective passing attacks.

Proche reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

With David Bell (knee) inactive and Marquise Goodwin (concussion) exiting in the third quarter, Proche was the fourth receiving option for nearly half the game. He ultimately only saw six offensive snaps (eight percent), while also returning six punts for 55 yards on 10 special-teams snaps (45 percent). He will again be a candidate to be promoted to the active roster in Week 10 versus the Ravens.

Morgan reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Morgan played 10 snaps in Week 9 versus Buffalo, all on special teams. The Bengals have two remaining standard elevations available to use on Morgan in 2023.

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

Byrd saw his first action of the season Sunday against Minnesota, getting two targets (neither of which he caught). His elevation ahead of that contest was a result of Drake London being held out due to a groin injury. Though London has a chance to return against Arizona in Week 10, Mack Hollins suffered an ankle injury versus the Vikings that has put his status for this Sunday in doubt. Should London and/or Hollins need to sit out this weekend, Byrd could be called upon again, though his role likely wouldn't be significant enough to warrant fantasy consideration.

Cobb (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's night's game against the Chargers.

Cobb didn't carry an injury designation for the contest, and with the veteran pass catcher a healthy scratch Monday night, Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, Irvin Charles and Malik Taylor are available to handle the Jets' Week 9 WR duties.

Guyton (knee) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Jets, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Guyton was activated from the reserve/PUP list Sunday and is set to make his first appearance in a game since tearing his ACL in Week 3 of last season. In his return to the mix, he'll bolster the depth of a Chargers' wide receiver corps that will be without Joshua Palmer (knee), who is out at least four games after having landed on IR. While Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston are slated to lead the unit while Palmer is out, Guyton will have a chance to compete for snaps behind the top duo with Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko. For now, however, Guyton remains a speculative fantasy option until his role in the offense is established.

Lazard (knee) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

Lazard was added to the Jets' final Week 9 injury report as questionable for Monday night's contest due to a knee issue that limited him at practice Saturday. Now that his availability versus Los Angeles has been confirmed, Lazard is slated to continue to work as the Jets' No. 2 WR in the team's Zach Wilson-helmed offense behind Garrett Wilson, a role that has resulted in the 27-year-old recording a 17-255-1 line on 29 targets through seven games. In his last outing, Lazard caught three of his season-high six targets for 45 yards in the Jets' overtime win over the Giants in Week 8.
