Hodge caught three of six targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

With Drake London (groin) sidelined and Mack Hollins (ankle) leaving the contest early, Hodge played the most offensive snaps (46) among Atlanta's wideouts. Hodge also paced the group in receiving yards, though tight end Jonnu Smith led the team in receptions and yards through the air. After a quiet start to the season (five receptions on six targets for 64 yards across the first seven games), Hodge has secured six of nine targets for 135 yards over the last two weeks. While that's not prolific production, Hodge has clearly seen an uptick in usage and production since London got hurt. As long as London and Hollins remain banged-up or out, Hodge should be on fantasy radars.

Renfrow caught two passes for 32 yards on three targets in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

Renfrow's pair of receptions came on back-to-back plays in the second quarter to set up a two-yard touchdown rush for Josh Jacobs, giving the Raiders a two-score lead. Renfrow would ultimately log just 13 offensive snaps, however, while rookie Tre Tucker earned more playing time behind fellow receivers Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers. Despite the departure of former head coach Josh McDaniels, Renfrow's role appears to remain limited ahead of a Week 10 tilt against the Jets.

Jackson had one reception for two yards on three targets and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's win at Atlanta.

Jackson played on 53 of the offense's 75 snaps as he was pressed into a larger role with K.J. Osborn leaving with a concussion and Brandon Powell dealing with cramps. Jackson could work as the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver again this week against New Orleans if Osborn is sidelined and Justin Jefferson (hamstring) isn't activated from injured reserve.

Tucker caught two of three targets for 52 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

Tucker's Week 9 performance was highlighted by a 50-yard reception late in the second quarter that eventually led to one of Josh Jacobs' two touchdowns. The rookie speedster ultimately played 28 of a possible 60 offensive snaps behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers, while fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow logged just 13. Tucker has caught exactly two passes in three of the Raiders' past four games, and he'll look to introduce his big-play ability to a stingy Jets defense Week 10.

Turpin caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown, gained zero yards on his only carry and added 71 return yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The second-year speedster took his lone kickoff return 48 yards to set up a Jake Ferguson TD late in the first quarter, and Dak Prescott then rewarded Turpin with a score of his own on the Cowboys' next possession. The 27-year-old hasn't seen more than two touches in a game on offense since Week 2, but Turpin has gotten into the end zone three times on 14 total touches this season and remains a threat to take the ball to the house every time he gets his hands on it.

Gallup caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

Despite the fact that Dak Prescott attempted 44 passes and threw for 374 yards, Gallup was barely involved in the offense once again. The veteran wideout hasn't reached 25 receiving yards in four straight games, and there's little reason to expect better numbers Week 10 against the Giants given that the Cowboys barely needed to throw the ball at all the first time these teams met this season in a 40-0 rout for Dallas in Week 1.

Cooks caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The veteran wideout had gotten into the end zone in two straight games coming into Sunday, but Cooks was barely involved in the offense despite the fact that Dak Prescott threw for 374 yards on 44 attempts. Cooks has seen more than four targets in a game only once, and while he still has some big-play potential, the 30-year-old just doesn't seem to be clicking in Dallas. He'll look to bounce back Week 10 against the Giants.

Head coach Arthur Smith said Monday that the Falcons hope London (groin) will be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

London sat out this past Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings after he was unable to practice all week, but he looks like he's trending toward a return to the lineup Week 10. The wideout's practice activity will still warrant monitoring in the coming days to ensure he's on a path to play in Arizona.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that the Vikings are still determining whether to designate Jefferson (hamstring) for return from injured reserve this week, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

After missing the required four games while on IR, Jefferson is eligible to resume practicing this week, but the team hasn't been clear with its plans, and it seems as though he's still being evaluated by the medical staff. Whenever Jefferson is available, he would provide a boost for the Minnesota offense that no longer has Kirk Cousins (Achilles) at quarterback, but the star wideout also is entering the final year of his contract in 2024, which may prompt both player and team to exercise caution in any return with the aim of avoiding a setback. More information about Jefferson's status could be known Wednesday, when the Vikings hold their first Week 10 practice in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Lazard (knee) remains listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chargers but is expected to play, barring a surprise, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Lazard didn't appear on either of the Jets' first two Week 9 injury reports before being added to the report Saturday, when the knee issue resulted in him being limited in practice. Based on Fowler's report, Lazard may have been given the questionable tag as a matter of precaution, and the veteran wideout should be ready to handle his usual duties as the Jets' No. 2 receiver if he comes out of pregame warmups no worse for the wear. Lazard's status will be clarified when the Jets release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
