Watson hauled in both of his targets for six yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory versus the Broncos.

Watson remains a regular in the offensive game plan, logging a team-high 52 snaps at wide receiver. That said, he's not a significant target as a receiver, finishing with no more than three catches in a game this season. The veteran wideout should continue to see regular offensive snaps but doesn't serve much purpose from a fantasy perspective.

Washington secured one of two targets for 17 yards during Monday's 23-15 win over the Rams. He also scored an 18-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry.

The rookie sixth-round pick showcased his dynamic speed, with his first career touchdown coming on an end-around in which he benefited from De'Von Achane acting as a decoy. Washington also worked as the Dolphins' top punt returner, racking up 21 yards on three fielded returns. After a strong prime-time performance, Washington may be able to push for more usage versus the Raiders in Week 11.

Beckham secured both of his targets for 17 yards during Miami's 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday.

Beckham played 32 percent of offensive snaps on Monday Night Football, his highest share of the 2024 campaign, but drew one less target than he did in Week 9 versus Buffalo. Notably, Beckham's involvement didn't come at the expense of rookie Malik Washington, as both hovered around a similar snap total while rotating in for No. 3 receiver reps behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Beckham will look to continue ramping up his involvement in Week 11 versus the Raiders.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday that Crowder (calf) has not been designated to return from injured reserve, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Crowder has spent the Commanders' last seven games on the sideline due to a lingering calf issue, and though he's been eligible to resume practicing for a few weeks, he hasn't made enough progress in his recovery for the team to open his 21-day evaluation window. At this stage, Crowder looks safe to rule out for Thursday's game against the Eagles, and a return to action Week 12 versus the Cowboys might be a stretch, too.

Carolina cut Johnson from its practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Less than a week after linking up with Carolina's practice squad, Johnson is now back at square one. He'll have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression with a different team.

Pittsburgh cut McCutcheon from its practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Less than a month after linking up with Pittsburgh's practice squad, McCutcheon is now on his way out. He'll have to look for another opportunity to make an impression with a different team.

Pittsburgh signed Agnew to its practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Agnew actually tried out with Pittsburgh back before its regular-season opener, and he's now being brought on board ahead of Week 11. The Steelers already have six healthy wideouts on their active roster, but Agnew's experience as a returner could help his case to be elevated as the second half of the year plays out.

The Panthers activated Thielen (hamstring) from injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Carolina is on bye Week 11, but since Thielen's 21-day evaluation window came to a close Tuesday, he wouldn't have been eligible to play again this season had the Panthers not activated him. After having his window opened Oct. 23, Thielen was a limited participant in four of the Panthers' ensuing six practices, but he was listed as a non-participant in all three sessions during Week 10, which could hint at a setback in his recovery from the right hamstring injury he suffered back in Week 3. The bye week will provide Thielen with some added healing time, but his status for the Panthers' next game Nov. 24 versus Kansas City is still very much up in the air. Whenever he does rejoin the lineup, Thielen should step back into a prominent role after Diontae Johnson was traded to Baltimore on Oct. 29.
