Ward played a season-high 30 snaps in Sunday's win over the Lions.

Ward saw more of the field thanks to ankle injuries to Jalen Reagor and to a lesser extent J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. Reagor isn't expected to need a long time to recover, but should he miss the Week 9 home matchup against the Chargers, Ward would likely get to line up as Philadelphia's third wide receiver.

Hinton was not targeted in Sunday's 17-10 win over Washington.

Hinton played just two of Denver's 53 offensive snaps in Week 8, as the return of Jerry Jeudy from injured reserve predictably forced Hinton down the depth chart. Barring another injury to a fellow wideout, the 24-year-old will fill a depth role role for the Broncos.

Boyd caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

With the Jets working to take the deep ball away from Ja'Marr Chase, Boyd was a little busier underneath than he had been in previous weeks. The receptions, targets and yardage were his highest totals since Week 4, while the TD was only his second of the season and his first since Week 3.

The Buccaneers designated Miller (toe) for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Miller has been sidelined since Week 3 due to a turf toe injury, but with his 21-day window open to return to the active roster there's a chance he'll be back following Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye. Elsewhere in the receiving corps, Antonio Brown is dealing with a sprain near his heel and has missed three of eight games so far this season. While Brown also may return after the bye, Miller still could have a role on offense behind starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin upon being active again.

Davis caught four of five targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-11 win over the Dolphins.

It's been a pretty dry season for Davis as Buffalo's clear No. 4 wide receiver, though he did seem to pick up extra targets this week in the absence of tight end Dawson Knox, whose status remains uncertain due to a broken hand. Davis saw action on 44 percent of the offensive plays. While the second-year wideout hasn't gone over 40 yards in a game this season, he could remain more involved should Knox miss more time. Davis' only other path to fantasy relevance would be an injury ahead of him on the depth chart to Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders or Cole Beasley.

Davis (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

That was also the case Monday. The wideout previously noted that he's feeling good at this stage, but when asked about his status for Thursday's game against the Colts, he replied, "we'll see." Wednesday's injury report will reveal Davis' official Week 9 injury designation, but after sitting out this past Sunday's win over the Bengals, he seems likely to be listed as questionable, at best.

Toney suffered a laceration on his hand during Monday's 20-17 loss at Kansas City, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Toney exited Monday's game when he suffered an unspecified hand issue, but he returned and finished with four catches (on five targets) for 26 yards. Coach Joe Judge clarified the nature of the injury Tuesday, calling it a "pretty serious gash" as a result of Toney's hand getting stepped on. The Giants were without Kenny Golladay (knee) in Week 8 and lost Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) and Dante Pettis (shoulder) during the contest, so Toney, Darius Slayton, John Ross and Collin Johnson currently are the team's healthiest options at wide receiver.

Pringle finished with just one catch for 12 yards on two targets Monday versus the Giants.

Pringle finished the game without multiple catches for the first time since Week 1, which is odd considering he saw a season-high 53 percent snap share in the contest. If that trend continues in future weeks, there is a chance we see a spike in Pringle's production.

Atwell (shoulder) has been officially placed on IR.

Per Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site, Atwell will need season-ending surgery to address a shoulder issue. Atwell -- who the Rams took with the 57th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft -- thus finishes his rookie campaign with 10 punt returns for 54 yards and five kick returns for 87 yards in eight games. Once he recovers from his surgery, the speedy Louisville product will set his sights on carving out a role in the team's offense in 2022.

Robinson tallied just one catch for 18 yards on his only target Monday versus the Giants.

Robinson has finished with only one catch in three of the last four games, providing a picture of exactly where he stands in the fantasy landscape at the moment. It doesn't seem likely that will change anytime soon.
