The Seahawks waived Jennings on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The Seahawks decided to waive Jennings in September but rescinded their request within 24 hours, so the rookie fourth-round pick remained with the team. However, Jennings has been a healthy scratch in all nine games this year, as he's struggled to learn the playbook, and the addition of Josh Gordon appears to be the final straw. Jennings has impressive athleticism with 4.42 speed and a 37-inch vertical, so he'll be a project if he's claimed off waivers. Otherwise, he could land on the team's practice squad.

Slayton caught one of four targets for six yards in Monday's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys.

Slayton started the contest and played 67 of 72 offensive snaps (93 percent), but he saw his fewest receptions and yards of the season. This dud comes after the rookie fifth-round pick posted two touchdowns in Week 8 against the Lions. Slayton didn't draw much attention despite Daniel Jones heaving 41 passes, but he has a good chance to turn it around against the Jets' suspect secondary in Week 10.

Thielen didn't aggravate his hamstring injury during his brief appearance in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Chiefs, but the Vikings are expected to hold him out of the team's Week 10 game versus the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

After a one-game absence due to the injury, Thielen pushed to play against Kansas City, but he only played seven snaps before removing himself from the contest in the first quarter. With Thielen apparently informing the coaching staff that the hamstring was still troubling him, the Vikings are seemingly motivated to take a cautious approach with him in order to avoid a long-term setback. Minnesota will likely wait until later in the week before offering a definitive ruling on Thielen's status for the game against the Cowboys, but his fantasy managers should already begin looking at other options for their Week 11 lineups.

Snead caught both of his targets for 15 yards Sunday against the Patriots.

Just days after receiving a contract extension, Snead made good on both of his chances against New England, including a crucial fourth-down conversion. The slot receiver sees an uneven target share, logging three games with five targets and five games with three targets or less. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 4 against the Browns and hasn't gone over 20 yards in any of the last three weeks. Snead draws a favorable matchup against the Bengals in Week 10, but it'd take a fantasy roster facing major bye-week attrition to put him on the radar as a possible starter.

Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Adams (toe) suffered no health setbacks in his return from a four-game absence in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers, Zach Kruse of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

A game-time call heading into the contest, Adams proceeded to start and play 83 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps in the loss, finishing the afternoon with seven catches for 41 yards on 11 targets. While the Packers' passing game couldn't get much going in Los Angeles, the improved health of the team's top target should yield better performances moving forward. With Adams' case of turf toe now seemingly in the rear-view mirror, fantasy managers can use him with confidence in the Packers' Week 10 matchup with the Panthers.

Boykin was held without a catch on one target Sunday against the Patriots.

The rookie played just 39 percent of the snaps after playing over half the offensive snaps in each of his previous two games. Boykin had just one target and was held without a catch for a third time this season. It's likely not a coincidence that Boykin's usage went up when fellow rookie Marquise Brown was sidelined and fell back off when Brown returned Sunday. Boykin should continue to see a minor role in the Baltimore passing game now that Brown is healthy.

Miller failed to come up with either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Not factored in that stat line is a touchdown pass Miller caught in the third quarter that was called off due to the rookie receiver having stepped out of bounds before securing the ball. Miller had a modest spike in production in Week 6 against the Panthers with the first three receptions of his career, but he's failed to come up with any of the three subsequent targets that have come his way over the last two games.

Cobb caught six of eight targets for 35 yards in Monday's win over the Giants.

He could have had an even bigger night from a fantasy perspective, but Cobb had what would have been his second TD of the season wiped out by a holding penalty. The veteran slot receiver has caught a modest 25 passes on 38 targets for 274 yards through seven games.

Robinson recorded one catch for five yards on two targets Sunday against the Vikings.

Robinson's role was inevitably set to drop as both Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins returned to full health, and he likely settled into that this week, playing 24 snaps (40 percent) versus the Vikings. He remains behind at least Hill, Watkins and Travis Kelce, a trio that accounted for 27 of 34 targets Sunday. Therefore, Robinson may not possess a ton of fantasy upside when all three are healthy.

Hardman was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Vikings, but he did run the ball once for seven yards.

Hardman was on the field offensively for just 11 snaps and 20 combined in the last two weeks, a signal that he's well behind Demarcus Robinson (24 snaps) in pecking order at this point. Hardman did contribute in the return game, going over 100 yards on kicks and adding 17 more on punts, but he also coughed the ball up once. At this point, the rookie doesn't look to be anything more than a return specialist with a few offensive plays mixed in.
