Pierce did not have a reception on two targets in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.

Pierce played on 37 of the offense's 64 snaps and notably wasn't a starter (Austin Dulin started in a three-WR set). He had clicked with Matt Ryan earlier in the season, so it would have seemed the move back to Ryan as the starting quarterback would help Pierce. It's possible the coaching change to Jeff Saturday has moved Pierce back in the game plan, meaning this performance can't be entirely written off.

Coutee had one reception for 20 yards on his only target but lost a fumble on the play in Sunday's win at Las Vegas. He also had three punt returns for a nine-yard average.

Coutee had just one play on offense as he's mostly being used on special teams, having taken over the punt return job from Nyheim Hines (who was traded to Buffalo). Coutee's fumble may give the Colts pause for handing him a larger role on offense.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Brown (foot) is "getting close" and is expected to be back after the team's Week 13 bye at the latest, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.

Brown was placed on injured reserve Oct. 20 due to a foot injury he suffered Week 6 and was slated to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks. Per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com, Kingsbury added that the wideout "is getting to the point where he's going to be day-to-day," but the Cardinals won't rush him back until he's 100 percent. Before the injury, Brown secured 43 of 64 targets for 485 yards and three scores, but all of that production came when DeAndre Hopkins was sidelined due to a suspension.

Osborn had four receptions for 35 yards on 11 targets and one carry for two yards in Sunday's overtime win at Buffalo.

Osborn didn't have a reception and had just two targets last week as it looked like his role would significantly decrease after the acquisition of T.J. Hockenson. However, a week later, Osborn was frequently targeted by Kirk Cousins and made several big plays. Hockensen has replaced him as the third option in the passing offense (16 receptions the past two games), but at least Osborn still looks to have a role.

Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Davis (knee) is still day-to-day.

Davis was deemed day-to-day after initially suffering the knee injury Week 7, but he's missed two straight games, and his status hasn't changed following the Jets' Week 10 bye. The veteran wideout has yet to practice since spraining his knee, so any participation during Week 11 prep would be a positive sign.

Per coach Matt LaFleur, Cobb (ankle) is considered day-to-day and could come off injured reserve before Thursday's game against the Titans, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Cobb was given a 2-to-6-week return timeline prior to being placed on injured reserve Oct. 22. If his recovery fell on the shorter end of that projection, then Cobb should indeed be healthy enough to suit up Thursday, though the team would first have to designate him to return from IR.

An MRI on Jeudy's ankle revealed a mild injury Monday, and he isn't expected to miss extended time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jeudy's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders has yet to be determined, so his practice participation will be worth monitoring throughout the week. Given initial fears of a major injury after the wide receiver exited in the first quarter of Denver's Week 10 loss to the Titans, this is just about the best-case scenario for Jeudy.

McCloud caught his lone target for 33 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

Jimmy Garoppolo caught the Chargers in cover zero and dialed up McCloud on a streak for a big gain. It was the return specialist's only target on seven offensive snaps (10 percent). The 26-year-old has big-play ability, but he is too low on the depth chart to rely upon in fantasy. McCloud will continue serving as the team's No. 4 wideout and return man against the Cardinals next Monday.

Jennings (hamstring) caught all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

Jennings was able to get back on the field and resume his role as the No. 3 wideout after missing a game prior to last week's bye with a bum hamstring. The 25-year-old saw his usual allotment of snaps on offense (33 percent) and continued to serve as Jimmy Garoppolo's preferred target on third downs (two conversions Sunday). Jennings still doesn't provide enough volume in his current role to warrant fantasy consideration against the Cardinals next Monday.

Skowronek caught two of seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Skowronek was on the field for nearly every play on offense for the Rams, and he was peppered with seven targets from John Wolford. One of those targets bounced off of the hybrid wide receiver/fullback's hands, however, and was intercepted by Budda Baker in the fourth quarter to essentially end any hope of a comeback for the Rams. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) looking like he may miss some time, Skowronek will be looked upon as one of the top receiving options for the Rams, along with Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson, heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Saints.
