  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: In the NFL's concussion protocol

    Wilson, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, is considered day-to-day, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    As a result, Wilson's status for Sunday's road game against the Chiefs will need to be tracked closely in the coming days. The wideout is coming off a six-catch, 83-yard effort in the Jets' Week 8 loss to the Raiders, and if Wilson ends up sidelined this weekend, added opportunities would be available for Omar Cooper, Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Works on the side Wednesday

    Egbuka (foot) was spotted running on the side with a trainer Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Egbuka, who last suited up for game action in Week 6, was limited at practice last Wednesday and Thursday before logging a 'DNP' on Friday. It remains to be seen what his participation level will be as the week unfolds, but if Egbuka remains sidelined Sunday night against the Bears, Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson would be in line to lead Tampa Bay's Week 9 WR corps.

  • Jordyn Tyson WR | NO

    Saints' Jordyn Tyson: Returning to practice Wednesday

    Tyson (hamstring) is slated to resume practicing with the Saints on Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    The Saints are expected to officially open the wide receiver's 21-day evaluation window as they kick off Week 9 prep ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Given that the strained right hamstring has kept him off the field since Aug. 13, Tyson may need more than one week of practices to get himself back into playing shape, but the Saints haven't necessarily ruled the rookie first-round pick out from making his NFL debut against Cleveland. Whenever he's deemed ready to play, Tyson could immediately push Devaughn Vele for the Saints' No. 2 receiver job.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Turns in reinstatement paperwork

    Aiyuk, who who is currently is on the 49ers' Reserve/Left Squad list, has turned in paperwork to be reinstated, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Per his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Aiyuk "is healthy and ready to get back on the field. Meanwhile, Schefter adds that once the wideout officially reports back to the 49ers, the team's options are to keep Aiyuk under his current contract, release him or look to move him ahead of this coming Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Given the moving parts involved, it remains to be seen when Aiyuk might return to the field in any locale, but depending on his health and conditioning level, the 2020 first-rounder could represent an intriguing option for a team looking to add WR depth to consider.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Set to resume practicing Wednesday

    Hollins (calf) is slated to return to practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Hollins' last game appearance was in Week 4, but his looming return to the mix arrives at an opportune juncture, with Romeo Doubs (shoulder) currently on IR and A.J. Brown's (ankle/knee) Week 9 status cloudy. Assuming no setbacks at practice, Hollins -- who logged a 15-209-0 line on 20 targets prior to his injury -- should have an opportunity to claim a key role in the Patriots offense as soon as this Sunday's game against the Packers.

  • Josh Cameron WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Josh Cameron: Doesn't haul in only target Week 8

    Cameron did not catch his lone target in a 42-7 rout of the Colts on Sunday. He returned one punt for six yards and one kickoff for 18 yards.

    Jacksonville didn't need to go to its air game much given the easy win, and QB Trevor Lawrence threw just 14 passes. None of those went to Cameron -- his only target (which he didn't catch) came from backup signal-caller Quinn Ewers in garbage time. Cameron did log a season-high 52 percent offensive snap share, but game script didn't do him any favors in terms of production. With no catches in three of his seven games this season, Cameron doesn't make for an appealing fantasy asset.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Gets no targets in return

    Bech finished without a target or touch in Sunday's 38-33 Week 8 win over the Jets.

    Bech returned from a four-game absence due to a forearm injury and logged a 40 percent offensive snap share, but he didn't get any looks from QB Kirk Cousins. In fact, Cousins didn't go to his wideout corps as a whole very often -- 16 of his 26 targets went to tight ends, and another four went to running back Ashton Jeanty. Bech will look to get back into the box score Sunday in a Week 9 matchup in San Francisco.

  • Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Two offensive snaps versus Rams

    Lambert-Smith did not garner a target during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

    Lambert-Smith was expected to revert back to a minimal role on offense in Week 8 due to both Ladd McConkey and Tre' Harris returning to action, and that is exactly what happened. Lambert-Smith played just two offensive snaps in the contest, and he will continue to have little to no fantasy value as long as the rest of the Chargers' primary pass catchers are healthy.

  • Tez Johnson WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: No catches in Week 8

    Johnson did not garner a target during Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.

    Johnson and the rest of the Buccaneers' pass catchers went without receptions in Week 8 as quarterback Baker Mayfield failed to complete a pass on three attempts in the team's rain-soaked victory. The wide receiver may have another chance to operate in a prominent role on offense if fellow wideout Emeka Egbuka (foot) remains unavailable Sunday versus the Bears.

  • Colts' Laquon Treadwell: One catch in Week 8

    Treadwell caught one of two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars.

    Treadwell failed to record multiple receptions in a game for the first time since Week 3 against Houston. The wide receiver could be set to operate in a more prominent role if the team decides to deal fellow wideout Josh Downs prior to the trade deadline Nov. 10. For the time being, Treadwell doesn't figure to have much fantasy appeal Sunday against the Cowboys.
