Michael Bandy WR | DEN
Michael Bandy: Cut by Denver
The Broncos waived Bandy on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Bandy was cut in order to make room for the signing of veteran OT Geron Christian, who was signed off Dallas' practice squad. If Bandy clears waivers, it would make sense for him to rejoin Denver via the practice squad.

Tylan Wallace WR | BAL
Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Not targeted in Week 10
Wallace failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings.
Wallace was not targeted for the second straight game, and through nine games, he has recorded just four receptions on six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown. Wallace continues to remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Browns.

DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Minimal production in win
Hopkins caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings.
Hopkins played just 27 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps Sunday while continuing to operate as Baltimore's No. 3 wide receiver. The veteran has failed to catch more than two passes in a game this season and has not found the end zone since Week 2. Hopkins is not being used enough in the Ravens' offensive scheme to be trusted for fantasy relevant production. The 33-year-old will look to get more involved when the Ravens visit the Browns in Week 11.

David Sills WR | ATL
Falcons' David Sills: Held catchless against Colts
Sills failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.
Sills played 31 of the Falcons' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, continuing to operate as Atlanta's No. 3 wide receiver behind Drake London (62) and Darnell Mooney (57). The 30-year-old wideout was held without a catch for the second straight game and for the seventh time this season. Sills has only seen seven targets across nine contests, and his limited opportunities keep him far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Panthers.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: One catch in win
Mooney caught one of eight targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.
Mooney caught just one pass for the third straight week, though his eight targets were tied for a team high with fellow receiver Drake London. The 28-year-old has not been able to get on the same page with quarterback Michael Penix lately, making him a difficult player to trust for fantasy purposes. Mooney will have his next opportunity to bounce back in a Week 11 home game against the Panthers.

Jack Bech WR | LV
Raiders' Jack Bech: Serves as WR4 in Week 10
Bech was held without a catch on one target in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.
Bech was a prime candidate to benefit from Jakobi Meyers' trade deadline departure to Jacksonville, but the rookie remained well behind Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton and Tyler Lockett in the pecking order at wide receiver, with Bech ultimately playing just 14 offensive snaps. A much friendlier matchup against the Cowboys looms on Monday Night Football in Week 11, but Bech's opportunities to make an impact may remain limited.

Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Vikings' Adam Thielen: Two catches against Ravens
Thielen caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.
Thielen played just nine of the Vikings' 65 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Minnesota's No. 4 wide receiver. The veteran wideout's two receptions in the contest were his first grabs since Week 7. Since teammate Jordan Addison returned from his three-game suspension in Week 4, Thielen is averaging roughly 10 snaps per game. With such limited opportunities, the 35-year-old remains far off the fantasy radar heading into Week 11 matchup against the Bears.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. WR | LV
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Manages one reception on TNF
Thornton caught one of two targets for four yards in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.
Thornton, who was deemed a healthy scratch in Week 9, returned to the lineup Thursday after fellow receiver Jakobi Meyers was shipped to Jacksonville ahead of the trade deadline. However, Thornton made several key mistakes in the prime time contest, including an offensive pass interference penalty on a would-be Tre Tucker touchdown, followed by a drop on an accurate deep ball down the right sideline. Nonetheless, Thornton logged 37 offensive snaps to Jack Bech's 14, and a much more promising matchup against the Cowboys awaits on Monday Night Football in Week 11.

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Quiet in return to action Monday
Brown (hamstring) finished with two receptions (on three targets) for 13 yards in Monday's 10-7 win over the Packers.
Brown used the Eagles' bye week to recover from a hamstring injury that wound up costing him just one game on the schedule. The 28-year-old handled a full week of practice leading up to Monday's contest and showed no visible limitations running routes. The poor fantasy night was more the result of a grueling defensive battle that went scoreless for two-plus quarters. Brown will have a better opportunity to shine in a softer matchup at home against the Lions on Sunday Night Football in Week 11.

DeVonta Smith WR | PHI
Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Game-high 69 yards plus TD
Smith finished with four receptions (on seven targets) for 69 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 10-7 win over Green Bay.
In a game that featured three points scored through three quarters, Smith finally broke the silence with a 34-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth. Fellow star wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) returned to action after fully healing over the bye week, but his 2-13-0 receiving line didn't affect Smith's hot streak. The latter is averaging 6.2 receptions and 99.8 yards over his last five appearances for the Eagles. Smith is looking like a WR1 heading into another primetime matchup Week 11 when Philadelphia hosts Detroit.
