Odunze (ankle/heel) did not practice Wednesday.

Odunze logged a DNP/LP/FP practice slate prior to being cleared to suit up for Chicago's narrow win over the Bengals in Week 9, so as long as he's able to put forth similar activity ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants he should be able to take the field. Versus Cincinnati, Odunze failed to haul in any of his three targets. DJ Moore (hip/groin) also missed practice Wednesday while Luther Burden (concussion) was a full participant.

Vele should get more playing time after the Saints dealt Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks on Tuesday, Nola.com's Luke Johnson reports.

Vele has merely been the No. 4 receiver in New Orleans even though the Saints gave up a fourth-round pick to acquire him from Denver in August. He now figures to get more playing time alongside Chris Olave and Brandin Cooks instead of coming off the bench to spell them from time to time. The Saints also have WR Mason Tipton, who took just two snaps in Sunday's loss at the Rams. Vele played 12 snaps (29 percent) and also finished without a catch or target, leaving him with just five catches for 36 yards (on 10 targets) across 152 snaps this season.

Wilson (knee) is practicing Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson didn't practice or play in Week 8, but he seems to be doing much better after a Week 9 bye. The Jets will face a tough Cleveland defense at the Meadowlands this Sunday, with Justin Fields likely starting at quarterback, though head coach Aaron Glenn has thus far declined to name his starter. QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) is also expected to practice this week.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Davis is "getting close" to suiting up for game action but that the team is still not putting a timeline on his return, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Davis inked with Buffalo's practice squad early September but spent most of the season to date sidelined with a knee injury. However, he came off the practice-squad injured list in late October and is now ramping up his activity level. While the veteran wideout will likely remain sidelined Sunday versus Miami, expect Davis to contribute on offense for Buffalo at some stage this season.

Boutte (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

With a DNP to start the week, Boutte's status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers remains cloudy. If he ends up limited or out in Week 10, Kyle Williams would likely see added snaps, with Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins available to handle targets that might otherwise go to Boutte.

Thomas (left ankle/shoulder) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Thomas, who had been managing a shoulder issue, is now dealing with what Adam Schefter of ESPN describes as a low-grade high ankle sprain. Per Schefter, the wideout has a chance to play Sunday against the Texans, but Wednesday's absence now gives Thomas two more opportunities to practice before the Jaguars' Week 10 injury designations are assigned. With Thomas banged up, Travis Hunter (knee) on IR, Dyami Brown having sustained a concussion this past Sunday, and Tim Patrick (groin) also injured, the Jaguars' WR depth is currently taxed, a situation the team addressed by trading for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday.

Palmer (knee/ankle) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Palmer, who last suited up in Week 6, was also limited this past Thursday and Friday, with the wideout now having two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If Palmer ends up limited or remains sidelined this weekend, Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore would be next in line for WR snaps behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir.

Tucker is the top receiver left on the Raiders' depth chart after Las Vegas traded Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville on Tuesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Meyers had been a focal point in the Raiders passing attack while appearing in seven of the first eight games, commanding 20.7 percent of the team's overall targets and registering 352 yards on 33 catches. Though Meyers' departure leaves tight end Brock Bowers as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game, Tucker and Las Vegas' other receivers should also benefit from at least slight bumps in opportunity. In the lone game Meyers missed prior to being traded -- a blowout loss to the Chiefs in Week 7 -- starting quarterback Geno Smith attempted just 16 passes while Kansas City dominated the time of possession, but Tucker was targeted on six of those throws (37.5 percent share). It's worth noting, however, that Bowers also missed that game while recovering from a PCL injury.

Flournoy caught both of his targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Flournoy's touchdown was his first of the season and the first of his career. The second-year wideout played 45 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps, operating as the No. 3 wide receiver behind both CeeDee Lamb (59) and George Pickens (61). Though Flournoy's 69 percent snap share matched a season high, his target share still left much to be desired. Since Lamb returned to action in Week 7, the 26-year-old Flournoy has failed to see more than two targets in a contest. With such limited usage, the Southeast Missouri State product should remain off the fantasy radar as Dallas heads into their Week 10 bye. Next up for the Cowboys is a road matchup against the Raiders in Week 11.

Bond (foot) is not slated to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Bond sustained a foot injury during Cleveland's loss to the Patriots in Week 8 and is still not back to full health after the Browns' bye week. He'll have two more chances to officially get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Jets. When asked about Bond's status for Week 10, head coach Kevin Stefanski said "we'll see how it goes the next couple days," per Oyefusi. Cedric Tillman (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday, and when he returns to the field Bond will figure to drop down to No. 3 on the wide receiver depth chart.
