Pringle reeled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Raiders.

What's more encouraging yet for Pringle is that he saw a season-high 45 snaps (60 percent) in the contest, playing more than Mecole Hardman on the night. If this is a sign of things to come, Pringle could be in line for additional looks in the passing game moving forward. It's also possible Hardman just fell into the doghouse after another drop, but Pringle performed reasonably well in his expanded role, so he could have a chance at more reps in future weeks.

Robinson tallied a trio of receptions for 23 yards on four targets Sunday versus the Raiders.

Robinson could have had a fantasy-relevant day had the pass he didn't catch been completed. Patrick Mahomes slightly overthrew him in the second quarter on a third-down pass that would have resulted in a touchdown for Robinson. Touchdowns are essentially a requirement for him to near fantasy relevance in most leagues, so his two scores on the season pretty much tell the tale of his viability as a fantasy asset in most formats.

Hardman recorded two catches for 27 yards on three targets Sunday against the Raiders.

While Hardman's production wasn't too far out of line from what he'd been receiving recently, it's notable his snap count fell to a season-low 23 on offense against Las Vegas. He dropped another pass in the contest, which may be part of the cause for his limited opportunities. Either way, it's not exactly a great sign regarding his fantasy viability for future weeks.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Claypool (toe) is expected to participate in practice Wednesday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Claypool suffered a toe injury during the Steelers' Week 9 win against the Bears, which didn't allow him to practice last week and kept him on the sideline during this past Sunday's tie with the Lions. Fortunately for the second-year wide receiver, he avoided a season-ending injury via MRI, and he now may miss as little as just one contest as a result. In the end, though, Claypool's progression through Week 11 prep will be key to his availability for Sunday's road game against the Chargers.

Johnson was waived by the Jaguars on Tuesday.

Johnson only played in five games this year with the Jaguars and recorded two catches for 16 yards. The 25-year-old receiver had a productive year with the Chargers in 2020, recording 20 catches on 26 targets for 398 yards and three touchdowns across 12 games. Johnson has been primarily utilized as a deep-threat option and could continue to add value to a team in this role.

Palmer caught three of four targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 27-20 loss against the Vikings.

Palmer caught a season-high three passes against the Vikings on Sunday. All three of Palmer's catches came on the Chargers' last possession of the game and set up a 24-yard Dustin Hopkins field goal. Palmer has only seen 17 targets on the year, but this game marks an uptick in usage for the 2021 third-round pick. Moving forward, Palmer should continue to function as Justin Herbert's fifth or sixth option in the passing game, and his upside is capped by the talent ahead of him in the receiving core.

Duvernay caught all four of his targets for 28 yards and added a 19-yard carry in the loss to the Dolphins.

The second-year wideout actually saw his playing time increase to 60 percent despite Sammy Watkins' return from a thigh injury. Duvernay caught everything thrown his way and showed some explosiveness on his 19-yard run. He has seen four or more targets just three times this season, and Watkins' return could ultimately impact Duvernay's role in the passing game. The Ravens head to Chicago to face the Bears on Sunday.

Skowronek caught one of his five targets for eight yards during Monday's 31-10 loss to San Francisco. He played a season-high 42 offensive snaps.

The boost in playing time is unlikely to continue for the rookie. Snowronek received extra run because recently acquired wide receiver Odell Beckham didn't have enough preparation time to learn the entire playbook ahead of Monday's action. With a Week 11 bye, Skowronek is likely to revert back to a secondary role and slot in as the fourth receiver on the depth chart. He's probably off the fantasy radar in the majority of settings.

Beckham caught two of his three targets for 18 yards during Monday's 31-10 loss to San Francisco. He played just 15 of 55 offensive snaps.

After signing with the Rams on Thursday, and the organization hinting he'd be on a pitch count Monday in his debut with the team, it wasn't surprising Beckham had an underwhelming fantasy showing. Los Angeles has a bye this week, though, so the 29-year-old receiver will have extra time to acclimate to the offense ahead of a Week 12 matchup against the Packers. Beckham has a decent shot to climb the depth chart and be quarterback Matthew Stafford's No. 2 pass catcher behind wide receiver Cooper Kupp down the stretch. It could prove particularly fruitful for fantasy purposes at playoff time, too. While it's worth adding that Beckham appeared out of sync with Stafford on the quarterback's first interception, it's probably already water under the bridge.

Jones caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 41-14 loss to Kansas City.

Jones paced the Raiders' wide receiver corps in offensive snap share for a second straight week, but the ample playing time has translated into just two total receptions for 44 yards on seven targets. The newly acquired DeSean Jackson coughed up the ball after hauling in a 38-yard pass, but he was otherwise relatively uninvolved in his Las Vegas debut. Nonetheless, Jackson's ability to stretch the field figures to earn him more opportunities as he settles into the offense, which probably doesn't bode well for Jones' already modest target volume.
