Marquez Callaway WR | LV
Buccaneers' Marquez Callaway: Elevated again for Week 10
The Buccaneers elevated Callaway from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Callaway was elevated for the first time last week to face Kansas City and logged two offensive snaps without drawing a target. Tampa Bay can use all the help it can get at receiver due to Chris Godwin (ankle) being lost for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) out for a third straight week and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) questionable against the 49ers on Sunday. Even with all of those injuries, Callaway doesn't figure to be a major factor versus San Francisco given his snap count last week.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Questionable for Monday
Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Hill's availability for Monday's contest appears to be up in the air after his wrist injury prevented him from practicing Friday and Saturday. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, head coach Mike McDaniel declined to offer a firm word on Hill's Week 10 status earlier Saturday, merely noting that the receiver "will do everything possible to play, but we'll see." Fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on reports pertaining to Hill leading up to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Shifts to injured reserve
Olave (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After suffering his second concussion in a month, and third concussion in a calendar year, this was expected. The star target will be out at least until mid-December, at which point it's possible the team will decide whether it's worth bringing back Olave altogether given New Orleans likely won't be in the playoff hunt. Expect more information regarding his playing status to come later in November.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Activated, remains questionable
Collins (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Collins is expected to play Sunday after missing the previous four games with a hamstring injury, but official word on his status won't arrive until the Texans release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Collins didn't resume practicing until Friday and was listed as a limited participant for that session, so even if he plays Sunday, he could have his reps managed to some degree. Fellow starting wideout Tank Dell (back) is also listed as questionable for Sunday's contest.

Jalen Moreno-Cropper WR | NO
Cowboys' Jalen Moreno-Cropper: Gets Week 10 elevation
The Cowboys elevated Cropper from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Cropper was a standout for Dallas during training camp this year, and he'll now get his first practice-squad elevation. If he suits up Sunday against Philadelphia, the Fresno State product will be making his NFL debut. Cropper isn't likely to see much work on offense, however, with CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, Jonathan Mingo, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy all likely ahead of him on the Cowboys' wideout depth chart.

Devin Duvernay WR | ARI
Jaguars' Devin Duvernay: Comes off IR on Saturday
The Jaguars activated Duvernay (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday.
Duvernay was hurt in Jacksonville's Week 5 victory against Indianapolis and subsequently was placed on IR. He was designated to return this past Wednesday and has now been activated. Duvernay could thus suit up Sunday versus Minnesota, which would be a boost to the Jaguars' passing game, with both Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) questionable to play in the contest.

Ben Skowronek WR | PIT
Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Activated off IR
The Steelers activated Skowronek (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Skowronek was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster each of the first two weeks of the season, and he was then signed to the active roster in mid-September. However, the wideout was immediately placed on IR upon the signing. Skowronek was designated to return earlier this week, and with his activation, he could return to the field Sunday against Washington. If he is active for the contest, Skowronek probably won't see much work on offense given that Pittsburgh's wideout corps is largely healthy and that he didn't see a target during either of the two games he has been active for so far this season.

Laquon Treadwell WR | IND
Colts' Laquon Treadwell: Elevated ahead of Week 10 contest
The Colts elevated Treadwell from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup against Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
This is Treadwell's first elevation of the season, and it corresponds with Indianapolis' top wideout Michael Pittman being ruled out against the Bills due to a back injury and a finger injury. Treadwell played in five games with Baltimore last season, recording one catch on three targets for 16 yards. The veteran receiver isn't likely to see much action on offense against Buffalo on Sunday, as the Colts' wideout corps will likely be led by Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, with Ashton Dulin, Adonai Mitchell and Anthony Gould also possibly ahead of Treadwell in the pecking order.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Expected to land on IR
Olave (concussion) is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Olave has already been ruled for Sunday's game against the Falcons, with Rapoport indicating that the anticipated move is expected to occur Saturday. In that scenario, Olave, who sustained his second concussion of the season during Week 9 action against the Panthers, would be in line to miss at least the Saints' next four games. With Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) also out this week, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the available wide receivers currently on New Orleans' active roster.

Jermaine Burton WR | CIN
Bengals' Jermaine Burton: Out of sync Thursday
Burton caught one of five targets for 11 yards in a Week 10 loss to the Ravens on Thursday Night Football. He also returned a kickoff for 17 yards.
With Tee Higgins (quad) out a third straight week and Charlie Jones (groin) missing a second consecutive contest, Burton was given a chance to play after he was a healthy scratch in Week 9 against the Raiders. The rookie wideout couldn't get much going, however, as he was able to reel in just one of the five passes thrown his way. Burton's lone reception was at least an impactful one, as his third-down, 11-yard catch with less than a minute remaining in the first half put the Bengals on Baltimore's three-yard line and was immediately followed by a Joe Burrow touchdown pass to Tanner Hudson. Still, Burton was mostly unimpressive in the defeat, and he could have a hard time getting on the field in Week 11 against the Chargers if Higgins is able to return to action.
