  • Malik Taylor WR | DET

    Malik Taylor: Going back to practice squad

    Taylor reverted to the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    In his second appearance this season Monday, Taylor turned two targets into one catch for seven yards. Zach Wilson and the Jets' passing offense have been dreadful through eight games this season, so any Jets pass catcher not named Garrett Wilson has essentially been radioactive for the purposes of fantasy.

  • Martavis Bryant: Joins Cowboys' practice squad

    Dallas signed Bryant to its practice squad Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Just three days after being reinstated from his indefinite suspension, Bryant has already found an opportunity with a new team. The Cowboys' receivers behind CeeDee Lamb have proven mostly unreliable so far this season, so it wouldn't be too surprising to see Bryant called up sooner rather than later.

  • Tyjon Lindsey WR | SEA

    Tyjon Lindsey: Cut by Seattle

    The Seahawks released Lindsey from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The undrafted rookie out of Oregon State spent the offseason with the Seahawks and much of the first two months of the season on the team's practice squad. He's yet to appear in a regular-season game.

  • Kristian Wilkerson: Back with Las Vegas

    The Raiders signed Wilkerson to their practice squad Tuesday.

    Wilkerson was cut by the Raiders three days ago but is back on the practice squad. In two games with Vegas this season, Wilkerson played 42 offensive snaps and didn't draw a single target.

  • Trinity Benson WR | CLE

    Trinity Benson: Joins Browns' practice squad

    Cleveland signed Benson to its practice squad Tuesday.

    Benson was cut by Detroit prior to Week 1 of this season, but he's found another opportunity with a new team ahead of Week 10. A season ago with the Lions, Benson was active for just one game, playing just 11 snaps.

  • James Proche WR | TEN

    Browns' James Proche: Gets promotion to active roster

    Cleveland signed Proche from its practice squad to its active roster Tuesday.

    Proche played just six offensive snaps in his 2023 debut Sunday versus Arizona, but the Browns evidently saw enough of him as a punt returner (six returns, 55 yards) to bring him up on a full-time basis ahead of Week 10. In 2022 with Baltimore, Proche turned 17 targets into eight receptions for 62 yards.

  • Julio Jones WR | PHI

    Eagles' Julio Jones: No catches in third game

    Jones wasn't targeted a single time in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys.

    Jones' 18 offensive snaps were right in line with his snap counts (16 and 15) from his first two games as an Eagle, which suggests the team may not be building him up toward a heavier workload. He totaled three targets and two catches (including one touchdown) in his first two games with Philadelphia but failed to make even a minor mark in Week 9.

  • Malik Taylor WR | DET

    Jets' Malik Taylor: One catch in Week 9 loss

    Taylor caught one of two targets for seven yards in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers.

    Taylor was elevated from the practice squad for a second consecutive game and saw more involvement than he did in Week 8 against the Giants. The target he didn't catch was a deep ball on which Taylor failed to locate the football. New York's lack of depth at wide receiver could lead to more opportunities for Taylor moving forward, but he's unlikely to move the needle in fantasy.

  • Eagles' Olamide Zaccheaus: One catch again

    Zaccheaus caught one pass for eight yards in Sunday's victory over the Cowboys.

    Zaccheaus outsnapped fellow depth wideout Julio Jones by a 24-18 margin and had two targets to the veteran's zero, but even despite him keeping a firm grip on the third receiver job in Philadelphia, his fantasy value remains minimal. Zaccheaus is averaging less than one catch per game and has found the end zone just once all season.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Jets' Xavier Gipson: Career-high receiving total Monday

    Gipson caught both of his targets for 32 yards in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers.

    Not only were Gipson's 32 receiving yards a career high, they marked the highest total in a game this season by a Jets wide receiver not named Garrett Wilson or Allen Lazard. That stat is more of an indictment on the state of New York's passing game than a compliment to Gipson, but the dearth of quality alternatives at least creates an opportunity for the rookie to carve out a larger role moving forward. Gipson also returned three punts for eight yards in Monday's loss.
