Palmer caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Eagles.

Palmer continues to have a small role in the Chargers' explosive offense, extending his streak of at least one catch to four games. The rookie wideout saw an uptick in playing time as he was on the field for 30 percent of the offensive snaps, a major increase from Week 8 where he was only on the field for 13 percent. Going forward, look for the 22-year-old to split the No. 3 wide receiver role with Jalen Guyton.

Guyton caught one of two of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles 27-24.

As the No. 3 wide receiver, Guyton has not been targeted much this season. It's a bit concerning that the speedy wide receiver saw his snap-share dip coincide with rookie Josh Palmer taking a small jump in playing time, but neither did much with the Chargers' trio of tight ends all putting together positive outings. It's possible Palmer's development as a prospect could result in a more even playing-time split over the coming weeks, but neither figures to see enough volume to be fantasy relevant.

Shepard (quadriceps) wasn't present Tuesday for the Giants' informal practice session, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

The Giants are on bye Week 10, but the team is holding a light practice Tuesday for both rehabbing players and less-established members of the roster. Shepard's absence doesn't come as much of a surprise, given that he sat out two days earlier in the Giants' win over the Raiders after having not practiced in the week leading up to the contest. The Giants likely won't have a better sense of his availability for their next game Nov. 22 in Tampa Bay until next week.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Claypool will undergo an MRI on Tuesday after suffering a toe injury in Monday's 29-27 win over the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

The second-year wideout wasn't on the field for the Steelers' final drive of the game but otherwise took on a full workload in the win, finishing the night with a 3-30-0 receiving line on five targets and carrying twice for 13 yards. The MRI should shed more light on the severity of Claypool's injury, but for now, his status for the Steelers' Week 10 game against the Lions is in question.

Pringle was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Packers.

Pringle saw a slight dip from 53 to 44 percent in offensive snap share, sitting in the same range as it has been for the last four games. Pringle has a pair of touchdowns on the season, but has logged two or fewer catches in all but a pair of games thus far. He's still unreliable as a fantasy option, but he could sneak his way into the conversation on occasion.

Robinson tallied just one catch for two yards on his only target Sunday against the Packers.

Robinson has finished with only one catch in each of the last three games played and saw a significant drop in his playing time Sunday, checking in for a season-low 22 percent of the offensive snaps. Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman were the only wideouts to see a meaningful uptick in snaps this week, while two-tight sets were more frequently used with the Chiefs leading for most of the night.

Hardman hauled in three of his six targets for 20 yards Sunday against the Packers.

Hardman did return to the 60 percent range in terms of snap percentage, which is at least a positive note after he played only 48 percent the week prior. That being said, the third-year wideout was unable to make much out of the extra time on the field. He's not a reliable fantasy option at this point, though Hardman can post the occasional outburst.

McCloud hauled in his lone target for 12 yards in Monday's 29-27 win over the Bears.

McCloud was on the field for 36 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps Monday, but his results remained limited against Chicago. He's secured eight of 10 targets for 66 yards while rushing once for 10 yards this season.

Hinton secured his lone target for 40 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys.

Hinton played on just 28 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, serving in a depth role behind Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick. Teddy Bridgewater's 40-yard connection with Hinton was the second-longest play of the game for Denver and set up an eventual rushing touchdown for Bridgewater. Hinton is developing into a solid receiver, but his limited snap share in Denver's offense caps his fantasy value ahead of a Week 10 tilt against Philadelphia.

Washington hauled in one of three receptions for 42 yards while recording two carries for 13 yards in Monday's 29-27 win over Chicago.

Washington was limited to just 13 receiving yards across the last two games, but his 42-yard reception in the third quarter Monday was the Steelers' longest play of the game. Although the 25-year-old has been inconsistent this season, he'll likely see increased work if Chase Claypool (undisclosed) is forced to miss additional time.
