  • Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG

    Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Has best game of season in Week 10

    Hyatt totaled four catches (on four targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to Carolina in Germany.

    Coming into Sunday, Hyatt had managed just one catch (on eight targets) for six yards on the campaign. The second-year wideout finally put together some meaningful production against the Panthers, ranking third on the Giants in receiving yards while tying for third in receptions. Nearly half of Hyatt's yardage came on a 19-yard deep catch down the middle in the second quarter, though he also drew a pass-interference penalty in the first quarter that netted New York 43 yards. It's also worth noting that quarterback Daniel Jones turned to Hyatt three times with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth, and Hyatt caught all three of his targets on that drive to help set up a game-tying Graham Gano field goal. Hyatt's performance could lead to more looks in the passing game following the team's Week 11 bye, but he probably isn't going to reach the 73 percent offensive snap share he logged Sunday if all three of the receivers above him in the pecking order -- Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton (who was sidelined against Carolina due to a concussion) and Wan'Dale Robinson -- are healthy.

  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Estimated as non-practice participant

    Smith (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Smith didn't practice last Wednesday due to a hamstring issue before being limited Thursday and then practicing fully Friday and approaching Sunday's game against the Cowboys without a Week 10 injury designation. With no reported setbacks in the Eagles' subsequent 34-6 win, during which Smith recorded a 72 percent snap share, it's quite possible that the wideout's estimated absence Monday is indicative of load management as opposed to any concern regarding his availability for Thursday night's game against the Commanders. Look for added context on that front to arrive as Tuesday's practice unfolds.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Seven touches in loss

    Mims caught all four of his targets for 13 yards and rushed three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.

    Mims' targets, catches and 30 total scrimmage yards were all season highs for the second-year wide receiver. Despite playing just 13 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps in the contest, the 22-year-old handled seven total touches, the most of any Denver wideout. Unfortunately, Mims was unable to turn his opportunities into much fantasy-relevant production. The speedster will look to take a step forward in a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons, but his limited snap share should keep him off the fantasy radar.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Won't be available Sunday

    Head coach Sean McDermott noted Monday that Coleman (wrist) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    McDermott acknowledged to Alec White of the team's official site this past Friday that Coleman could miss time beyond Week 10, and now that the wideout has been been deemed out for Sunday's contest, his next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Dec. 1 against the 49ers, following Buffalo's Week 12 bye. With the Week 11 availability of Amari Cooper (wrist) yet to be determined, per Glab, the team's top healthy options at wide receiver currently are Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Records three more catches

    McCloud caught three of four targets for 30 yards and rushed once for six yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    McCloud has caught exactly three passes in four of the last five weeks, but other than a touchdown in Week 9, he doesn't have much fantasy production to show for it, totaling 106 yards on 14 receptions (18 targets) during that stretch. Drake London and Darnell Mooney are the undisputed top wideouts in Atlanta, while RB Bijan Robinson and TE Kyle Pitts will see their fair share of targets, as well. Even with Kirk Cousins outperforming expectations following an Achilles injury, it'll be difficult for McCloud to generate enough attention to be a viable fantasy option on a weekly basis.

  • River Cracraft WR | WAS

    Dolphins' River Cracraft: Activated off IR

    The Dolphins have activated Cracraft (shoulder) off IR ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams.

    Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, Cracraft -- who practiced fully Thursday through Saturday -- is slated to make his regular-season debut Monday following the transaction. It remains to be seen how much work he'll see in his looming return, but in any case Cracraft provides the Dolphins with useful wideout depth with Tyreek Hill questionable to face Los Angeles due to a wrist injury.

  • Vikings' Trent Sherfield: Minimal role on offense

    Sherfield had one reception for 11 yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.

    Sherfield played on 11 of the offense's 84 snaps, as he's been working as the No. 4 receiver. He's going to have a small role in the offense as long as the top three receivers are healthy and with T.J. Hockenson now back to full health.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | LV

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Three targets in win

    Nailor had one reception for 11 yards on three targets in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.

    Nailor played on 42 of the offense's 84 snaps as he works as the No. 3 receiver. However, he may not get many targets with T.J. Hockenson returning and back to full speed.

  • Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Two grabs in Week 10

    Humphrey secured two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.

    Humphrey played a solid 59 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, but Denver's No. 3 receiver was unable to get much going against Kansas City. The 26-year-old has failed to record more than 50 receiving yards in all but one game so far this season, making him an extremely unreliable option for fantasy purposes. Humphrey should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

  • Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Close to practicing again

    Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is close to returning to practice, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

    Smith-Schuster has missed three consecutive games due to the hamstring injury that he suffered Sunday, Oct. 20 at San Francisco. Considering an IR stint would have required at least four games out of commission, perhaps Reid and the Chiefs anticipate Smith-Schuster returning to action Sunday in Buffalo, but ultimately getting back on the field this week will be the first step in that endeavor.
