  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Three catches in Week 10 loss

    Shepard brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    The veteran wideout's impact was limited despite the ongoing absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) and Chris Godwin (fibula), and even though Shepard garnered a solid 65 percent snap share (45 snaps). Since posting a season-high 80 receiving yards back in Week 3 against the Jets, Shepard has a modest 19-142-1 receiving line on 25 targets over six subsequent games, so his appeal will remain limited to deep leagues and large-field DFS tournaments in a Week 11 road matchup against a usually stingy Bills secondary.

    Jaguars' Travis Hunter: Surgery brings end to rookie season

    Hunter underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday to repair an isolated LCL injury to his right knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Hunter was placed on injured reserve Oct. 31, one day after he suffered a non-contact knee injury while playing cornerback during practice. Though the Jaguars relayed that initial tests on Hunter's knee revealed that his ACL was intact, the 22-year-old evidently sustained other ligament damage that required a procedure. Hunter is expected to be ready to resume football activities in six months, so the two-way player should be back to full health well in advance of training camp in late July, if not the start of the Jaguars' offseason program in the spring. The No. 2 overall pick in 2025 will finish his rookie season with a 28-298-1 receiving line on 45 targets to go with 15 tackles and three passes defensed over seven games.

  • Michael Bandy WR | DEN

    Michael Bandy: Cut by Denver

    The Broncos waived Bandy on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Bandy was cut in order to make room for the signing of veteran OT Geron Christian, who was signed off Dallas' practice squad. If Bandy clears waivers, it would make sense for him to rejoin Denver via the practice squad.

  • Tylan Wallace WR | BAL

    Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Not targeted in Week 10

    Wallace failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings.

    Wallace was not targeted for the second straight game, and through nine games, he has recorded just four receptions on six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown. Wallace continues to remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Browns.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Minimal production in win

    Hopkins caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings.

    Hopkins played just 27 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps Sunday while continuing to operate as Baltimore's No. 3 wide receiver. The veteran has failed to catch more than two passes in a game this season and has not found the end zone since Week 2. Hopkins is not being used enough in the Ravens' offensive scheme to be trusted for fantasy relevant production. The 33-year-old will look to get more involved when the Ravens visit the Browns in Week 11.

  • David Sills WR | ATL

    Falcons' David Sills: Held catchless against Colts

    Sills failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.

    Sills played 31 of the Falcons' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, continuing to operate as Atlanta's No. 3 wide receiver behind Drake London (62) and Darnell Mooney (57). The 30-year-old wideout was held without a catch for the second straight game and for the seventh time this season. Sills has only seen seven targets across nine contests, and his limited opportunities keep him far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Panthers.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | ATL

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: One catch in win

    Mooney caught one of eight targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.

    Mooney caught just one pass for the third straight week, though his eight targets were tied for a team high with fellow receiver Drake London. The 28-year-old has not been able to get on the same page with quarterback Michael Penix lately, making him a difficult player to trust for fantasy purposes. Mooney will have his next opportunity to bounce back in a Week 11 home game against the Panthers.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Serves as WR4 in Week 10

    Bech was held without a catch on one target in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.

    Bech was a prime candidate to benefit from Jakobi Meyers' trade deadline departure to Jacksonville, but the rookie remained well behind Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton and Tyler Lockett in the pecking order at wide receiver, with Bech ultimately playing just 14 offensive snaps. A much friendlier matchup against the Cowboys looms on Monday Night Football in Week 11, but Bech's opportunities to make an impact may remain limited.

  • Adam Thielen WR | MIN

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Two catches against Ravens

    Thielen caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.

    Thielen played just nine of the Vikings' 65 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Minnesota's No. 4 wide receiver. The veteran wideout's two receptions in the contest were his first grabs since Week 7. Since teammate Jordan Addison returned from his three-game suspension in Week 4, Thielen is averaging roughly 10 snaps per game. With such limited opportunities, the 35-year-old remains far off the fantasy radar heading into Week 11 matchup against the Bears.

  • Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Manages one reception on TNF

    Thornton caught one of two targets for four yards in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.

    Thornton, who was deemed a healthy scratch in Week 9, returned to the lineup Thursday after fellow receiver Jakobi Meyers was shipped to Jacksonville ahead of the trade deadline. However, Thornton made several key mistakes in the prime time contest, including an offensive pass interference penalty on a would-be Tre Tucker touchdown, followed by a drop on an accurate deep ball down the right sideline. Nonetheless, Thornton logged 37 offensive snaps to Jack Bech's 14, and a much more promising matchup against the Cowboys awaits on Monday Night Football in Week 11.
