Renfrow caught two passes for 19 yards on four targets in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

Renfrow was on the field for 28 of the Raiders' 46 offensive snaps as the team played from behind for much of the contest, but he was held to two or less receptions for the eighth consecutive week. If nobody's dealt ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, Renfrow figures to remain behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers in the pecking order at wide receiver against the Giants in Week 9.

Green was not targeted with a pass during Monday's win over Las Vegas.

Green saw 44 percent of the offensive snaps last week following the departure of Marvin Jones (personal), but his playing time plummeted to six offensive snaps this week. The North Carolina product won't have any chance at fantasy relevance unless he somehow returns to a larger offensive role.

Raymond caught two passes on four targets for 24 yards while rushing once for minus-2 yards during Monday's win over Las Vegas.

Even though Raymond ran as the fourth receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds and Jameson Williams, he finished second among the bunch in most receiving categories. However, he logged only about a quarter of the offensive snaps, and he probably won't see much more than that in any game going forward with Detroit prioritizing the development of Williams.

Williams caught two of three targets for 16 yards during Monday's win over Las Vegas.

After a brutal Week 7 showing that saw Williams catch zero passes on six targets, Williams dropped another pass on his first target of the game before getting leveled on a jet sweep that counted as a reception for Williams. While he otherwise managed to catch a pass for a positive gain, Williams has only one of those over the past two weeks despite now running as the clear No. 3 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds. The bright side is that Williams is earning targets at a much higher rate than Reynolds, and the absence of Marvin Jones (personal) only bodes well for Williams' playing time going forward. After a Week 9 bye, Williams will return for a Week 10 date with a Chargers team allowing the most yards per reception league-wide (8.4) and 33.9 more passing yards per game to the next-closest team through eight weeks.

Reynolds caught one pass for 13 yards during Monday's win over the Raiders.

The Lions leaned heavily on Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown, who each logged at least 83 percent of the snaps while the next-closest receiver, Jameson Williams, checked in at 40 percent. However, Reynolds again did little with his opportunities and has now seen three fewer targets than Williams over the past four weeks despite seeing roughly double the playing time. Reynolds could become an afterthought in the Lions passing game should Williams keep eating into his playing time, though an appetizing Week 10 matchup with the Chargers secondary gives hope for both players to find success after Detroit's Week 9 bye.

Pierce had three receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Sunday's loss to New Orleans.

Pierce tied his season high in receptions (he has four games with three receptions) which speaks more to how little production he's had this season. He remains a starting receiver and Indy's deep threat, but the Colts haven't targeted him down the field much this season. He has 17 receptions on 30 targets for 243 yards and no touchdowns.

Harty was not targeted in the passing game and saw action on just six offensive snaps in Thursday's 24-18 win over Tampa Bay.

Meanwhile, Harty's teammate Khalil Shakir had a banner day with six catches for 92 yards. Shakir saw action on 45 offensive snaps, making him the clear No. 3 receiver in the offense, while fellow depth receiver Trent Sherfield saw action on 21 offensive snaps. Harty did find the end zone once in Week 6, but he hasn't had more than three catches or four targets in any game this season, keeping him in a reserve role and unusable in fantasy leagues. Harty is at least serving as the team's main punt returner, handling all 11 returns so far for 99 yards.

Meyers caught his only target for 19 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

Meyers' lone target didn't come until the fourth quarter, as Jimmy Garoppolo threw for just 62 yards through the first three quarters and finished with 126 passing yards in the quarterback's return from a back injury. The wide receiver also made a heads-up play later in the fourth to momentarily keep the Raiders' faint hopes alive, jumping on top of a Josh Jacobs fumble and advancing it one yard. Meyers had at least four catches in four of his previous six appearances this season, so he'll likely be much more involved in Week 9 against the Giants, assuming Garoppolo puts forth a sharper performance.

Adams caught one of seven targets for 11 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

Adams was held without a catch in the first half as Jimmy Garoppolo mustered only 31 first-half passing yards in the quarterback's return from a back injury. The star receiver finally got into the box score with an 11-yard catch on the first play of the second half, but that was his only reception, even though Adams was the only Raider with more than four targets in this one. Garoppolo finished with just 126 yards and missed an open Adams a few times, including on a deep ball in the fourth quarter that would have produced a touchdown with an accurate throw. Las Vegas has been intent on keeping Adams ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, and assuming the team doesn't have a last-minute change of heart in that regard, Adams will hope for better play from Garoppolo in Week 9 against the Giants.

St. Brown (illness) secured six of nine targets for 108 yards in the Lions' 26-14 win over the Raiders on Monday night.

St. Brown took a questionable designation into Monday after coming down with an illness Sunday, but he suited up and looked no worse for wear. The gifted wideout led the Lions in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets, generating his third straight 100-yard effort in the process. While his catch and target totals were actually well behind the massive tallies of the last pair contests -- a stretch during which he generated 25 grabs on 34 targets -- St. Brown's fantasy night was still clearly a success. The third-year star will tangle with another AFC West opponent in the Chargers in Week 10 following a Week 9 bye.
