Zuber was released from the Browns' practice squad Tuesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Zuber signed with Cleveland's practice squad in early November but didn't last long with his new team. He's also spent time with San Francisco and New England this season and will now look for his next opportunity.

Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Tuesday that Samuel is considered day-to-day with a shin bruise, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

There's nothing at this point to suggest Samuel is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but it will still be worth monitoring his practice status in the coming days. Samuel is looking to build off another big effort Monday, turning in five grabs for 97 yards and a score to go along with his five carries for another 36 yards and a second touchdown. If he can't go, that could leave more looks for Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle in the passing attack.

Moore compiled two catches on four targets for 10 yards and one carry for one yard during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Panthers.

With the Cardinals hurting at wide receiver -- DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) missed a second straight game, while A.J. Green returned from a one-game absence after testing positive for COVID-19 -- Moore didn't handle return duties for the first time this season. Despite all of that, the rookie earned a meager snap share (34 percent) and had his second-fewest touches (three) in a game this season. Moore has flashed at times through 10 contests, but he now hasn't surpassed 26 yards from scrimmage in five consecutive outings and has just one touchdown on his ledger, which came back in Week 2.

Jennings logged 32 offensive snaps (47 percent) Monday, finishing with one reception (two targets) for three yards in a 31-10 win over the Rams.

Mohamed Sanu (knee) was placed on injured reserve this week, so Jennings assumed the veteran's role as the team's third wideout. The 23-year-old only saw two targets despite being on the field for nearly half of the team's offensive snaps, so there isn't much to report here from a fantasy perspective in the 49ers' current configuration.

Guyton did not catch a pass and had just one target in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Minnesota.

Guyton's disappointing season continues as he was unable to catch a pass for the second time this season. The 24-year-old was only on the field for 31 percent of offensive snaps, a number significantly less than his season average. Not only did the young receiver put up nothing offensively, but Josh Palmer, his main competition for the No. 3 wide receiver spot, caught three passes for 22 yards. Look for Guyton's workload to continue to decrease as he splits offensive snaps with Palmer.

Pringle reeled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Raiders.

What's more encouraging yet for Pringle is that he saw a season-high 45 snaps (60 percent) in the contest, playing more than Mecole Hardman on the night. If this is a sign of things to come, Pringle could be in line for additional looks in the passing game moving forward. It's also possible Hardman just fell into the doghouse after another drop, but Pringle performed reasonably well in his expanded role, so he could have a chance at more reps in future weeks.

Robinson tallied a trio of receptions for 23 yards on four targets Sunday versus the Raiders.

Robinson could have had a fantasy-relevant day had the pass he didn't catch been completed. Patrick Mahomes slightly overthrew him in the second quarter on a third-down pass that would have resulted in a touchdown for Robinson. Touchdowns are essentially a requirement for him to near fantasy relevance in most leagues, so his two scores on the season pretty much tell the tale of his viability as a fantasy asset in most formats.

Hardman recorded two catches for 27 yards on three targets Sunday against the Raiders.

While Hardman's production wasn't too far out of line from what he'd been receiving recently, it's notable his snap count fell to a season-low 23 on offense against Las Vegas. He dropped another pass in the contest, which may be part of the cause for his limited opportunities. Either way, it's not exactly a great sign regarding his fantasy viability for future weeks.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Claypool (toe) is expected to participate in practice Wednesday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Claypool suffered a toe injury during the Steelers' Week 9 win against the Bears, which didn't allow him to practice last week and kept him on the sideline during this past Sunday's tie with the Lions. Fortunately for the second-year wide receiver, he avoided a season-ending injury via MRI, and he now may miss as little as just one contest as a result. In the end, though, Claypool's progression through Week 11 prep will be key to his availability for Sunday's road game against the Chargers.

Johnson was waived by the Jaguars on Tuesday.

Johnson only played in five games this year with the Jaguars and recorded two catches for 16 yards. The 25-year-old receiver had a productive year with the Chargers in 2020, recording 20 catches on 26 targets for 398 yards and three touchdowns across 12 games. Johnson has been primarily utilized as a deep-threat option and could continue to add value to a team in this role.
