The Jaguars acquired Meyers from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round draft picks, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

A pending free agent, Meyers had made it clear that he wanted to be moved ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, and the Raiders were able to find a suitor willing to take on the remainder of the wideout's $5.25 million base salary. In Jacksonville, Meyers will fill the void at receiver left when No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter (knee) landed on injured reserve last week. As was the case in Las Vegas during games in which tight end Brock Bowers was available, Meyers will face competition for targets with Jacksonville in the form of Brian Thomas (ankle), but there should be enough volume to go around for both wideouts to remain reasonably productive. Over his seven appearances for the Raiders this season, Meyers recorded 33 catches for 352 yards and no touchdowns on 49 targets.

Lockett was unable to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Making his Raiders debut, Lockett served as Geno Smith's WR3 behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, but the 33-year-old receiver logged only 19 offensive snaps while tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer were heavily featured in two-TE sets. Nonetheless, Lockett immediately played ahead of rookie Jack Bech, and Dont'e Thornton was ruled inactive as a healthy scratch before the contest. Las Vegas might want to lend additional reps to Bech and Thornton as the season wears on, but for now, Lockett appears to be the more trusted option.

Bech did not play an offensive snap in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Bech was limited to a special teams role in Week 9, despite fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton's inactive designation as a healthy scratch. Meanwhile, 33-year-old veteran Tyler Lockett handled WR3 duties behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, with tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer each logging an offensive snap share north of 80 percent as well. If Meyers isn't shipped before the trade deadline, Bech's fantasy outlook for Thursday's contest in Denver is bleak.

Jones took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bears and managed 179 kick return yards plus 12 punt return yards in total.

This is the second time in Jones's career that he's taken a kick return for a touchdown to begin the game, doing the same last year in Cleveland. He now has three games this season with more than 100 kick return yards.

Tinsley caught one pass on two target for 27 yards in the loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Tinsley played a season-high 17 offensive snaps, as the Bengals were playing catch-up most of the game and frequently went with four wide receivers. He has displayed a penchant for acrobatic catches both in the preseason and twice (on three total catches) now in the regular season, albeit on only six targets overall.

Harrison finished with seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 96 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys.

Harrison entered Monday's primetime tilt facing a team boasting two proven superstar receivers, only to casually finish as the game's leading receiver and top fantasy producer. The seven receptions also represented a new career high for the 22-year-old. Harrison's big night upped his season line to 31-492-3 through eight starts, giving managers hope for a strong second half to his sophomore campaign. Even in games in which Harrison doesn't go off, he is providing enough of a floor to earn a spot in fantasy lineups against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Sherfield was not listed on Denver's injury report Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Sherfield was banged up in Sunday's win over the Texans, but he was able to return to the game. He contributed primarily on special teams and should be ready to occupy the same role in Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Raiders.

Burks reverted to Washington's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

After joining the Commanders' practice squad in mid-October, Burks got his first elevation ahead of Sunday's loss to Seattle. He logged a pretty hefty workload with 33 of 65 offensive snaps, finishing fourth among Washington's wideouts. Burks caught his only target for 14 yards in the contest and also played two snaps on special teams. Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) missed the matchup and isn't expected to return in Week 10, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, and Luke McCaffrey fractured his collarbone Sunday, so there's a good chance Burks will be active again this Sunday versus Detroit.

Proche reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Proche was elevated for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. He logged 11 of 47 offensive snaps -- fourth among Titans wideouts -- and didn't see any targets or touches. Since he's now out of elevations, Proche would need to be signed to Tennessee's active roster in order to play again for the team this season.

The Seahawks reverted White to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Seattle elevated White from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's win over the Commanders. The rookie seventh-round pick logged seven offensive snaps and five snaps on special teams. White didn't see any targets in his first NFL regular-season action, and his likelihood of being elevated again moving forward likely depends upon the health of wideouts Cooper Kupp (hamstring), Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quadriceps), all of whom missed Sunday's victory.
