  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Cardinals' Marquise Brown: Getting close to return, per HC

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Brown (foot) is "getting close" and is expected to be back after the team's Week 13 bye at the latest, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.

    Brown was placed on injured reserve Oct. 20 due to a foot injury he suffered Week 6 and was slated to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks. Per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com, Kingsbury added that the wideout "is getting to the point where he's going to be day-to-day," but the Cardinals won't rush him back until he's 100 percent. Before the injury, Brown secured 43 of 64 targets for 485 yards and three scores, but all of that production came when DeAndre Hopkins was sidelined due to a suspension.

  • K.J. Osborn WR | TEN

    Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Gets 11 targets in win

    Osborn had four receptions for 35 yards on 11 targets and one carry for two yards in Sunday's overtime win at Buffalo.

    Osborn didn't have a reception and had just two targets last week as it looked like his role would significantly decrease after the acquisition of T.J. Hockenson. However, a week later, Osborn was frequently targeted by Kirk Cousins and made several big plays. Hockensen has replaced him as the third option in the passing offense (16 receptions the past two games), but at least Osborn still looks to have a role.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Jets' Corey Davis: Still day-to-day

    Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Davis (knee) is still day-to-day.

    Davis was deemed day-to-day after initially suffering the knee injury Week 7, but he's missed two straight games, and his status hasn't changed following the Jets' Week 10 bye. The veteran wideout has yet to practice since spraining his knee, so any participation during Week 11 prep would be a positive sign.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Packers' Randall Cobb: Could play Thursday

    Per coach Matt LaFleur, Cobb (ankle) is considered day-to-day and could come off injured reserve before Thursday's game against the Titans, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Cobb was given a 2-to-6-week return timeline prior to being placed on injured reserve Oct. 22. If his recovery fell on the shorter end of that projection, then Cobb should indeed be healthy enough to suit up Thursday, though the team would first have to designate him to return from IR.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Injury viewed as mild

    An MRI on Jeudy's ankle revealed a mild injury Monday, and he isn't expected to miss extended time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Jeudy's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders has yet to be determined, so his practice participation will be worth monitoring throughout the week. Given initial fears of a major injury after the wide receiver exited in the first quarter of Denver's Week 10 loss to the Titans, this is just about the best-case scenario for Jeudy.

  • 49ers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Converts big play in win

    McCloud caught his lone target for 33 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

    Jimmy Garoppolo caught the Chargers in cover zero and dialed up McCloud on a streak for a big gain. It was the return specialist's only target on seven offensive snaps (10 percent). The 26-year-old has big-play ability, but he is too low on the depth chart to rely upon in fantasy. McCloud will continue serving as the team's No. 4 wideout and return man against the Cardinals next Monday.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 40 yards in return

    Jennings (hamstring) caught all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

    Jennings was able to get back on the field and resume his role as the No. 3 wideout after missing a game prior to last week's bye with a bum hamstring. The 25-year-old saw his usual allotment of snaps on offense (33 percent) and continued to serve as Jimmy Garoppolo's preferred target on third downs (two conversions Sunday). Jennings still doesn't provide enough volume in his current role to warrant fantasy consideration against the Cardinals next Monday.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Rams' Ben Skowronek: Seven targets Sunday

    Skowronek caught two of seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    Skowronek was on the field for nearly every play on offense for the Rams, and he was peppered with seven targets from John Wolford. One of those targets bounced off of the hybrid wide receiver/fullback's hands, however, and was intercepted by Budda Baker in the fourth quarter to essentially end any hope of a comeback for the Rams. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) looking like he may miss some time, Skowronek will be looked upon as one of the top receiving options for the Rams, along with Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson, heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Saints.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Rams' Allen Robinson: Four catches Sunday

    Robinson caught four of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    Robinson's role in the offense seemingly has regulated itself after some rough patches to start the year, as Robinson's yardage totals and targets both were around his season-long averages. For the first time all season, the veteran wideout didn't have a target in the red zone, but that may have been more indicative of the offense as a whole than Robinson being shut out of his normal role as a red-zone threat. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) potentially out for some time, Robinson likely would be thrust into the leading receiver role for the Rams, one that has been generous to Kupp (75-812-6) through nine games this season.

  • Samori Toure WR | PHI

    Packers' Samori Toure: Reduced role in Week 10

    Toure played 12 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-28 overtime victory over the Cowboys but was not targeted.

    Toure had a bit of momentum heading into Week 10, but that came to a halt, as he did not see a pass in his direction and played eight fewer snaps than Sammy Watkins -- who finished a distant third in the snap count department behind Allen Lazard and Christian Watson. Toure will remain in the mix as long as fellow wideouts Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Randall Cobb (ankle) are sidelined, but given how Watson (4-107-3 on eight targets) fared in Week 10, Toure's stock may have plateaued.
