Tylan Wallace WR | BAL
Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Not targeted in loss
Wallace failed to record a single target in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams.
Wallace played just seven of the Ravens' 78 offensive snaps behind fellow wide receivers Zay Flowers (71), Rashod Bateman (44) and DeAndre Hopkins (26). The 26-year-old Wallace failed to record a reception for the fourth time through six games. Wallace has not been a big part of Baltimore's offensive plans, as he's been targeted just five times so far this season. Wallace should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Ravens host the Bears on Oct. 26 following the team's Week 7 bye.

Greg Dortch WR | ARI
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Finds end zone in loss
Dortch caught all three of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.
Dortch's trip to the end zone was his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout's 44 percent offensive snap share was his second highest mark of the season, likely due to teammate Marvin Harrison leaving the game early due to a concussion suffered in the second quarter of the contest. Despite scoring his first touchdown of the season and playing more snaps in Week 6, Dortch remains very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even if Harrison is sidelined for a Week 7 matchup against the Packers.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre' Harris: Extended playing time sans Johnston
Harris caught four passes on five targets for 27 yards during the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Harris was thrust into a larger offensive role Sunday due to Quentin Johnston being ruled out with a hamstring injury. Harris proceeded to play a season-high 53 snaps on offense and finished tied with Keenan Allen for third on the Chargers in both catches and receiving yards. Harris' would revert to a rotational role for Week 7 against the Colts if Johnston were cleared to return.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: DNP again Tuesday
Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Tuesday's practice report, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Jones has posted back-to-back DNP estimates to begin the week, putting his status in jeopardy for Thursday night against the Steelers. If Jones can't play, Jermaine Burton would make sense as the next man up to handle return duties for the Bengals.

Thayer Thomas WR | DEN
Thayer Thomas: Lands on PS injured list
The Broncos placed Thomas (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Ben Swanson of the team's official site reports.
The nature and severity of Thomas' injury isn't clear, but he won't be eligible to be elevated to the Broncos' active roster for at least four games. That makes Week 11 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 16 the earliest he would be able to be called up from the practice squad.

Jalen Moreno-Cropper WR | DAL
Jalen Cropper: Let go by Dallas
The Cowboys waived Cropper on Tuesday.
The move corresponds with the impending returns of fellow wideouts CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot), and the Cowboys are hoping that Cropper can clear waivers and return to the team on the practice squad, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. Cropper played in the Cowboys' last three games and saw additional work as a returner during Sunday's 30-27 road loss to the Panthers. He finished that contest with 38 yards on two kickoff returns and 19 yards on two punt returns.

David Bell WR | CLE
Browns' David Bell: Placed on reserve/retired list
The Browns placed Bell (hip) on the reserve/retired list Tuesday.
Bell announced his retirement via social media Tuesday, saying he suffered an off-field injury that jeopardized his career. He'd been on the reserve/non-football injury list since the start of the season. Bell was a third-round pick in 2022 and totaled 41 catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns across 32 regular-season appearances with Cleveland.

Trenton Irwin WR | NYJ
Trenton Irwin: Catches on with Gang Green
The Jets signed Irwin to the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.
The 29-year-old wideout out of Stanford was unable to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll get another opportunity with the Jets on the practice squad. Irwin has appeared in 41 regular-season games since 2019 (23 of which came in 2023 and 2024 when he was a member of the Bengals) and has accumulated 46 catches (on 72 targets) for 601 yards and five touchdowns in his NFL career.

DJ Moore WR | CHI
Bears' DJ Moore: Managing groin injury
Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that Moore is nursing a groin injury but has returned to Chicago after being hospitalized in Washington, D.C. overnight following Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
The injury didn't cost Moore any extensive playing time Monday, with the wideout finishing the contest with three catches for 42 yards on five targets to go with two carries for 10 yards. The 28-year-old was nonetheless admitted to a local hospital after the game due to the injury, though he was held overnight merely for precautionary purposes. Johnson said that the Bears will continue to monitor Moore's status, but for now, the receiver still looks to have a chance at playing Week 7 against the Saints.

Calvin Austin III WR | PIT
Steelers' Calvin Austin: Sits out practice
Austin (shoulder) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Still on the mend from the shoulder injury he sustained in a Week 4 win over the Vikings in Dublin, Austin has yet to resume practicing and appears to be trending toward missing a second straight game Thursday against the Bengals. While Austin was sidelined for this past Sunday's win over the Browns, Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson both benefited from upticks in playing time behind No. 1 wideout DK Metcalf but combined for just one reception.
