Robinson failed to see a target in the team's 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Robinson's production dropped off significantly from him posting season high's across the board in Week 6 against the Giants. The return of Rashod Bateman (foot) certainly played a role, but Robinson still saw a season-low 24 percent of the offensive snaps, as the Ravens opted to deploy more two tight end sets. Robinson will work to earn more opportunities Thursday against the Buccaneers.

Shenault made one catch for eight yards on his only target in Sunday's 21-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Shenault only played two snaps on offense, but he made them count by getting on the stat sheet. The 24-year-old is still trying to find a clear role in the Panthers' offense after being a late addition to the team, then dealing with a hamstring injury. With the departure of Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals, Shenault could still earn a bigger role moving forward, as he did have an impressive debut in Week 3, scoring a 67-yard touchdown against the Saints. He'll work to get more involved Sunday against the Falcons.

Smith failed to see a target in Sunday's 21-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Smith saw his second lowest snap total of the season while being on the field for 50 percent of the team's offensive plays, despite the trade of Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals. This was also his second straight game without a catch, leaving him stuck at eight receptions for 105 yards on the season. He also had a punt return for zero yards. He'll work to get more involved in a friendlier fantasy matchup in Week 8 against the Falcons.

Shepard will undergo surgery on his left ACL on Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The wideout was placed on IR at the end of September after suffering an ACL tear late in the team's Week 3 loss to Dallas. Shepard rehabbed for over a month before undergoing surgery, which is similar to what teammate Saquon Barkley did, per Stapleton. Shepard has suffered devastating injuries in back-to-back seasons and has missed at least five games in all but two of his first seven NFL campaigns.

Bateman wasn't spotted during the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reprots.

The specifics of Bateman's absence are not yet clear, but it's a concerning development with the Ravens on a short week. The wideout returned to action in Week 7 following a two-game absence due to a foot injury and caught four of five targets for 42 yards -- all team highs. Bateman's availability for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers should become clearer when Baltimore releases its first official injury report of the week.

Moore didn't reel in his lone target during Sunday's 44-23 win versus San Francisco.

Moore also fumbled a punt, which was recovered by the 49ers, so it wasn't exactly a banner day for the rookie wideout. Moore also logged just 14 offensive snaps (22 percent), so he's likely nothing more than a stash for dynasty and deep leagues at this juncture. Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster rank ahead of him in the pecking order. Still, Moore could unlock a more prominent role if one of the group misses time, given his versatility to play both in the slot and out wide.

The Giants re-signed Miller to their practice squad Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Miller was set to miss the entire 2022 campaign after landing on IR due to a broken wrist, but he reached an injury settlement and was waived at the beginning of September. Now that he's healthy, he's rejoined the team's practice squad and will likely serve as an emergency depth option while the Giants are without rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye).

Tennessee signed Conley to its active roster off Kansas City's practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Conley started the season on the Texans' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for two games before being let go. He then joined Kansas City's practice squad at the beginning of October but was never added to the active roster. Conley will now join the Titans, who currently have two wideouts on IR and may be without Kyle Phillips (hamstring) for a second straight contest.

Houston signed Johnson to its active roster Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Johnson was recently released by the Raiders after bouncing back and forth between the team's practice squad and active roster. The undrafted wideout out of Oklahoma State caught 20 passes for 398 yards and three touchdowns across 12 appearances during his rookie campaign with the Chargers in 2020, but he's secured just two receptions for 16 yards over his past 12 NFL appearances -- split between Las Vegas and Jacksonville.

Dortch caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown and had one carry for one yard during the Cardinals' Week 6 win against the Saints.

Despite playing the third-most offensive snaps (35 of 66) among Arizona wide receivers behind DeAndre Hopkins (61) and Rondale Moore (59), Dortch was unable to take advantage in an offense that was missing Marquise Brown (foot) and top running back James Conner (ribs), among others. After compiling a 20-198-1 line on 23 targets in the first three games of the campaign, Dortch has been targeted just twice in four contests in the meantime. Now, even with Brown out of commission for the foreseeable future, Dortch appears to be an afterthought for quarterback Kyler Murray with Hopkins back from suspension and tight end Zach Ertz regularly involved in the passing game.
