  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Overcomes poor Dalton performance

    Olave recorded six receptions on nine targets for 71 yards in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

    Olave caught a pass on the first play from scrimmage for a gain of 15 yards. It took until there were 25 seconds remaining in the second quarter for him to catch his next pass, but he picked up the pace in the final two quarters as the Saints tried to recover from a significant deficit. As a result, Olave was able to surpass 70 receiving yards for the fourth time in his first eight games in the NFL. He was also the only Saints receiver to surpass 50 receiving yards or three receptions, highlighting his ability to overcome the poor quarterback play of Andy Dalton.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Cardinals' Robbie Anderson: Records first catch as Card

    Anderson reeled in one of three targets for minus-4 yards during Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.

    The veteran wideout didn't surpass an 18 percent share of the offensive snaps and was held without a catch on four targets in his first two appearances with the Cardinals after joining the team Oct. 17. He experienced a huge increase in usage to 83 percent Sunday, but he was rarely looked at by quarterback Kyler Murray, with Rondale Moore (10), Zach Ertz (eight), DeAndre Hopkins (five) and James Conner (five) all surpassing Anderson in targets. If the Cardinals continue to make a concerted effort to involve him, he might become a downfield threat, but for the time being Anderson appears to be struggling to get on the same page with Murray.

  • Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Minimally involved again

    Westbrook-Ikhine did not record a catch on his only target in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Westbrook-Ikhine saw his lone target of the game on a deep pass early in the fourth quarter, but he was unable to haul it in. He's had a quiet season, posting only seven receptions for 138 yards in eight games. Things have only worsened with Malik Willis under center, as Westbrook-Ikhine has managed only one target combined between his last two matchups.

  • Lynn Bowden: Goes back to practice squad

    Bowden reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Bowden received his first elevation to the active roster this season prior to Sunday's Week 9 win over Indianapolis and played on 14 of the team's 63 offensive snaps. However, he didn't record any touches or targets. Bowden has a versatile skill set, but he's still looking to regain a consistent spot on an NFL roster after missing all of last season with a hamstring injury.

  • Buccaneers' Breshad Perriman: One grab in Week 9 win

    Perriman secured one of two targets for one yard in the Buccaneers' 16-13 win over the Rams on Sunday.

    Perriman once again played a bit part in the air attack despite the absence of Russell Gage (hamstring), although he did log his most extensive snap count (22) since Week 3 during the contest. Scotty Miller notably logged eight targets and parlayed them into a 7-53 line over 33 snaps, so he seems to clearly be the preferred complementary option in the air attack.

  • Dan Chisena WR | CAR

    Dan Chisena: Moves back to practice squad

    Chisena reverted to Minnesota's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Chisena got his second elevation of the season prior to Sunday's Week 9 win over Washington and didn't see any snaps on offense. He logged 16 snaps on special teams, making one tackle on punt coverage. Chisena has worked almost exclusively as a special teamer during his three NFL seasons.

  • Marcus Kemp WR | WAS

    Marcus Kemp: Moves back to practice squad

    Kemp reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Kemp was elevated for Sunday's Week 9 win over Tennessee but didn't log any snaps on offense. He did see 24 special-teams snaps, making one solo tackle and one assisted tackle on punt coverage. It was Kemp's second activation of the campaign.

  • Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Suits up Monday

    Robinson (groin) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Saints.

    With Rashod Bateman (foot) -- who now is out for the season -- limited to 13 snaps in a Week 8 win over the Buccaneers, Robinson caught six of his season-high eight targets for 64 yards. As long as he's able to avoid any setbacks Monday, Robinson should continue to see added snaps alongside Devin Duvernay and James Proche, with practice squad elevations DeSean Jackson and Binjimen Victor also mixing in.

  • Bengals' Trenton Irwin: Back to practice squad

    Irwin reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Irwin received the bump up to the active roster with Ja'Marr Chase (hip) missing Sunday's game against the Panthers. The 26-year-old saw the third-most snaps at receiver for the team with 36, which lead to a 14-yard catch on his only target. With the Bengals headed into a bye week and Chase eligible to return Week 11 against the Steelers, Irwin may not get a chance to suit up when Cincinnati takes the field again.

  • Emeka Emezie WR | ATL

    Emeka Emezie: Hooks on with Carolina

    The Panthers signed Emezie to their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Emezie is a 24-year-old rookie wideout who played five seasons at NC State. He caught 60 passes for 802 yards and six touchdowns as a senior but went undrafted before participating in Carolina's rookie minicamp. He'll work to earn a spot on a Panthers squad that ranks near the bottom of the league in passing yards per game.
