Raiders' DJ Turner: Three catches in loss
DJ Turner secured all three targets for 29 yards and returned one kickoff for 31 yards in the Las Vegas Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.Turner bounced back from not drawing a single target in a Week 9 loss to the Bengals to post his second-highest catch total of the season. The third-year pro and fellow complementary wideout Tre Tucker seem to be stuck in a similar plight within the heavily concentrated Raiders air attack, that being having the misfortune of playing behind the high-usage duo of Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. Turner will remain a highly speculative fantasy option in a tough Week 12 home matchup against the Broncos.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Targeted seven times Sunday
DJ Turner caught two of seven targets for 13 yards and also returned one punt for seven yards in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.Turner logged 75 of a possible 79 offensive snaps while earning a career-high seven targets with fellow wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) inactive for a second straight game, but the attention given to Turner from quarterbacks Aidan O'Connell (thumb) and Gardner Minshew didn't amount to much fantasy production. Meyers' potential Week 8 return from injury would result in a demotion for Turner into the No. 3 role, but he remains somewhat relevant following Davante Adams' departure to the Jets. Regardless, rookie sensation Brock Bowers continues to command a significant portion of the target share among this struggling aerial attack.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Makes two receptions in loss
DJ Turner hauled in two of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.The third-year wideout drew the start across from Tre Tucker in the absence of both Davante Adams (hamstring) and Jakobi Meyers (ankle), with Turner ultimately logging 42 of 63 offensive snaps. His day was highlighted by a 30-yard reception on the Las Vegas Raiders' final drive of the third quarter, which marked the team's only play of 20-plus yards in the entire contest. Turner has seen exactly four targets in back-to-back games, but Meyers at least appears on track to return from his ankle injury in Week 7 against the Rams.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Ready for Week 6
DJ Turner (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.Prior to gathering in one of four targets for 12 yards this past Sunday at Denver, Turner had three targets in 23 career games on his resume. A hamstring injury limited his practice reps Wednesday and Thursday, but his return to full participation Friday has cleared him for Week 6 action. With Davante Adams (hamstring) ruled out and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) questionable for Sunday's game, Turner should be in store for at least a handful of looks from QB Aidan O'Connell and potentially more if Meyers joins Adams as inactive.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Nursing hamstring injury
DJ Turner was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session due to a hamstring injury.Turner made his first career start in Week 5 against the Broncos and finished with one catch (on four targets) for 12 yards while adding five rushing yards on one carry. He seems to be banged up coming out of that contest, but his ability to practice in some capacity Wednesday suggests that he's still on track to play Sunday against the Steelers. With Davante Adams (hamstring) likely to remain out Week 6, Turner should be in store for another healthy snap share.
