Olszewski carried three times for 16 yards and lost a yard on his only catch in Monday's 30-27 win over the Jets.

Olszewski logged 35 (out of a possible 81) snaps on offense in the contest, as his role has expanded of late with Julian Edelman (knee) on IR and N'Keal Harry dealing with a concussion. Despite the added work, Olszewski's impact outside of the team's return game has remained modest.

Wilkerson reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

In his NFL debut, Wilkerson played just two offensive snaps and didn't log any special-teams work. The undrafted rookie will head back to the practice squad for now, and he could be called back up next week against the Ravens if N'Keal Harry (concussion) is unavailable.

Johnson caught his lone target for 50 yards during Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Raiders.

After being a healthy inactive last week, Johnson returned and put on one of his best performances, catching his second 50-yard reception of the season. Johnson is rarely used as a consistent target, but it's clear the team values his big-play ability, particularly with pregame schemed opportunities. Until he starts to see more consistent snaps, however, he's simply not a relevant option in fantasy leagues.

Guyton caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Raiders.

Guyton continues to be low on the pecking order with Mike Williams, Hunter Henry and Keenan Allen once again seeing many more targets. It's a bit surprising the 23-year-old hasn't found more targets considering he continues to see plenty of playing time (69 snaps Sunday, second behind Keenan Allen's 78), but so long as Guyton maintains his exclusive deep threat role, it'll be hard to roster him in fantasy leagues.

Berrios caught his lone target for 13 yards in Monday's 30-27 loss to New England.

Berrios retreated back to a depth role with starting slot receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) back after a two-week absence. While Berrios has soaked up significant volume whenever Crowder has sat this season, he has just two catches in the five games Crowder has played.

Pringle was not targeted during Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Pringle was unable to follow up a season-best three grabs for 22 yards last Sunday versus the Jets with another solid showing Sunday. He saw his snap count reduced from 56 percent last week to just 31 percent against Carolina and is likely set to see that minimized further when Sammy Watkins (hamstring) gets the all-clear.

Robinson tallied three receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown on three targets Sunday versus the Panthers.

Robinson logged 50 snaps at receiver in the contest, trailing only star wideout Tyreek Hill while accounting for 81 percent of the offense's total snap count. He should continue to be involved in the game plan moving forward but could see his role reduced in the coming weeks once Sammy Watkins (hamstring) get the green light to rejoin the action.

Hardman recorded three receptions for 48 yards on four targets during Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Coming off of arguably his best outing of the season last week versus the Jets, Hardman disappeared again for most of Sunday's contest. He should continue to see work moving forward but could see his snap counts deteriorate a bit with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) nearing his return to action.

Byrd caught five of nine targets for 65 yards in Monday night's 30-27 win over the Jets.

Byrd trailed only Jakobi Meyers in all major receiving categories as the clear No. 2 option in New England's passing game. Despite the Patriots' lack of dynamic weapons, Byrd still acquitted himself nicely, most notably on a 31-yard gain to New York's three-yard line late in the fourth quarter. That play helped set up a game-tying touchdown, which along with Byrd's overall production Monday made for a quality Week 9 showing.

Meyers caught 12 of 14 targets for 169 yards in Monday night's 30-27 win over the Jets.

He put together by far the best showing of his young career, accounting for the majority of Cam Newton's 274 passing yards. Meyers was targeted on 40 percent of Newton's 35 attempts, and caught nearly everything thrown his way. Although his longest reception went for 33 yards, Meyers' most important play came on a 20-yard reception that put New England in range for the game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining. Following such a great performance, Meyers' stock is undoubtedly on the rise in advance of Week 10, but a tough matchup against the Ravens represents a stark contrast from facing the still-winless Jets.
