Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Comes down with illness
London didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
After being held out of the end zone through the first three games of the season, London has responded with TDs in four of his last five appearances on his way to a 37-532-6 line on 58 targets during that span. He's now dealing with an illness at the start of Week 11 prep, but he at least has two more practices this week to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

Elijah Moore WR | DEN
Bills' Elijah Moore: Makes two catches in loss to Miami
Moore secured both of his targets for nine yards during Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.
Moore continues to handle a depth gig in Buffalo's pass-catching corps, and he figures to reprise a similar role at home against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Across three regular-season appearances since the Bills' bye, Moore has tallied four grabs for 51 yards on seven targets.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Officially limited Wednesday
Godwin (fibula) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.
According to Greg Auman of Fox Sports, Godwin wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Wednesday's session, but his activity level implies he was able to get in some on-field reps for the first time since coming out of a Week 5 win against the Seahawks with a fibula injury. Coach Todd Bowles told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times on Monday that he didn't expect Godwin to be available Sunday at Buffalo, so the veteran wide receiver may be merely increasing his activity level with the aim to return Week 12 or beyond.

Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Misses practice Wednesday
Odunze (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Odunze has regularly had his reps managed by Chicago to begin practice weeks, so as long as he's able to resume handling at least limited activity during Thursday's session, it will bode well for his odds of gaining clearance for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. The second-year pro bounced back with six grabs for 86 yards and a touchdown (on 10 targets) during the Bears' win over the Giants in Week 10, proving that he retains a valuable fantasy ceiling despite the unpredictable nature of Chicago's passing attack. He had previously been held without a catch Week 9.

Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Bills' Curtis Samuel: Secures only target in Week 10 loss
Samuel secured his only target for 21 yards during Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.
Samuel has now logged a total of five catches (on six targets) for 62 yards and one touchdown across five regular-season appearances. He figures to continue contributing as a depth option within the Bills' wide receiver corps at home against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Aside from the deepest of formats, Samuel can safely be left off the fantasy radar as managers make lineup decision for Week 11.

DJ Moore WR | CHI
Bears' DJ Moore: Dealing with shoulder issue
Moore didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.
Moore briefly exited this past Sunday's win against the Giants due to a shoulder issue but was able to return early in the third quarter. He proceeded to finish with no catches on four targets, his first time getting blanked in the box score since the Panthers made him a first-round pick in the 2018 Draft. Moore will have two more chances to practice this week before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his status for Week 11 action on Friday's injury report.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Still bothered by hamstring injury
Slayton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Slayton got off to a hot start in Sunday's eventual 24-20 loss to the Bears, but he caught just one pass for four yards after missing a chunk of the second quarter to be evaluated for a hamstring injury. He did finish with a 63 percent snap share, and his 89 receiving yards led the team even though he had just four targets (compared to 11 for Wan'Dale Robinson and eight for Theo Johnson). In other Giants news, interim head coach Mike Kafka is moving QB Jameis Winston ahead of Russell Wilson on the depth chart, which likely means Winston will start this Sunday against the Packers (with Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol). Winston's reputation for attempting aggressive throws downfield could work well for Slayton's fantasy production, but only if the hamstring cooperates and the Giants do a decent job of protecting Winston.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: To be eased back into practice
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that the plan for Golden (shoulder) is "to integrate him back into practice and see where he's at," Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Golden sat out Monday's loss to the Eagles after having opened Week 10 as a limited participant at practice, but he then concluded Green Bay's preparation period with back-to-back absences. Per LaFleur's comments, it sounds as though even if Golden manages to resume practicing in advance of Sunday's road matchup against the Giants, he could be a ways away from returning to a starting role on offense. On a positive note for the Packers, LaFleur said Romeo Doubs (chest) is expected to be available Week 11.

Romeo Doubs WR | GB
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Expected to play Week 11
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Doubs (chest) "should be good to go" for Sunday's road matchup against the Giants, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Doubs suffered a chest injury that forced him out of Monday's loss to the Eagles early, but it doesn't appear that there are any lingering concerns about his availability for Week 11. That said, unless Doubs is able to practice in full prior to Sunday's matchup, he may carry an injury designation into the weekend. LaFleur also said the plan is for rookie wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) to be back on the practice field this week, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Ruled out for TNF
Wilson (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at New England.
Wilson didn't practice at all this week, with reports suggesting he'll likely miss 3-to-4 games after re-injuring his knee during Sunday's win over Cleveland. Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and Isaiah Williams got the most playing time among the other Jets' WRs on Sunday, but Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could take on larger roles in the coming weeks.
