Watson has logged a total of just four snaps on offense over the last two games despite No. 3 receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) being inactive for both contests.

Watson saw both rookie Scott Miller and the just-released Bobo Wilson leapfrog him over that pair of contests, and team up to fill Perriman's shoes in the offense. With Wilson now out of the equation, there's presumably a chance for Watson to finally log some appreciable playing time from scrimmage in Week 8 against the Titans, especially if the rumors surrounding a possible Perriman release also come to fruition.

Cooper (thigh) won't practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Coach Jason Garrett already admitted some uncertainty about Cooper's availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but Garrett mentioned Wednesday that he still has hope for the wide receiver to practice later this week. Randall Cobb (back) will also miss Wednesday's session, leaving Tavon Austin and Cedrick Wilson to work with Michael Gallup in three-wide sets.

Perriman (hamstring) could be cut to help the Buccaneers with the formula for compensatory draft picks, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Signed to a one-year, $4 million deal this past offseason, Perriman already is shaping up as a disappointment, catching just three of 12 targets for 16 yards before he missed the past two weeks with a hamstring injury. His contract is large enough to factor into the formula for compensatory draft picks, but only if he's still on the Buccaneers' roster in Week 9. The Bucs used Scott Miller as their No. 3 receiver the past two games, with the rookie sixth-round pick catching three of nine targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. A Week 7 bye could inspire some changes for the 2-4 Bucs.

Moore caught two of three targets for 18 total yards during Sunday's 23-17 win over Cincinnati.

It wasn't much, but Moore earned targets for just the second game this season and made his first catches of 2019. Buried down the depth chart in a passing offense that has cooled off its hot start, it's hard to picture Moore taking the additional strides needed to be worth considering for fantasy purposes. He will, however, have a solid matchup Sunday against Seattle's 25th-ranked pass defense, surrendering 277.8 yards per game.

Sherfield caught his lone target for a 38-yard gain during Sunday's 34-33 win over the Falcons.

Sherfield made his mark during Arizona's first drive when he broke up the sideline and reeled in a Kyler Murray loft for a gain of 38 yards to set up an Arizona field goal. Sherfield has just three catches this season, but he's averaging 25.3 yards per reception. He isn't getting enough targets to be a fantasy factor, but is a threat to go long again Sunday against a Giants defense surrendering a whopping 13.5 yards per catch, 31st in the league.

Boykin caught two of three targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 23-17 win over Cincinnati.

Boykin caught multiple passes for the second consecutive game after just two catches in his first three games. He may be on the upswing, but he isn't quite fantasy relevant yet. Part of this is Lamar Jackson cooling in the passing game, with just four passing touchdowns in the past four weeks. If touchdown passes aren't flying around, Boykin will need to make up for it in yardage, something he hasn't shown yet.

Isabella tallied a special-teams tackle during Sunday's 34-33 win versus the Falcons.

Getting 12 snaps on offense and 11 as a special teamer, Isabella again made little impact in the box score. After tallying three carries for 16 yards in the previous two contests, he didn't receive a touch Sunday, and his first target as a pro awaits. The Cardinals' receiving corps is getting healthier as well -- Damiere Byrd (hamstring) returned from a two-game absence, and Christian Kirk (ankle) may be back Week 7 against the Giants -- so healthy scratches potentially are in Isabella's future.

Sherfield gathered in his only target for 38 yards during Sunday's 34-33 victory against the Falcons.

With Damiere Byrd (hamstring) back in action for the first time since Week 3, Sherfield conceded some of his recent workload to the former, yet he still got 52 percent of the offensive snaps to Byrd's 22 percent. Meanwhile, KeeSean Johnson led Cardinals outside receivers with 81 percent of those plays. Once the group is healthy, the pecking order likely will read Byrd, Johnson and then Sherfield, a reality that would give him little opportunity to contribute on offense.

Johnson recorded two catches (on five targets) for 14 yards during Sunday's 34-33 win versus the Falcons.

While the Cardinals had outside wide receiver Damiere Byrd back in the lineup for the first time since Week 3, Johnson retained an 81 percent share of the offensive snaps Sunday, good for most among the team's receiving corps. Johnson likely will move back to a middling workload when Byrd is 100 percent healthy, but no matter his number of reps he'll have a regular role weekly in an offense that's finding its footing under rookie signal-caller Kyler Murray.

Wilson was cut by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wilson had a tough outing Sunday as he caught one of three targets for 10 yards and returned six punts for 12 yards while also fumbling twice (losing one). Per Stroud, coach Bruce Arians was concerned by Wilson's lack of production on punt returns (2.8-yard average), which led to his departure.
