Hardman collected two of his four targets for 13 yards Monday against the Chargers.

Hardman saw a bump in his snap count following Tyreek Hill's (hamstring) injury, but it didn't raise his fantasy value much on the night. A significant workload increase could be on tap again following the bye if Hill sits following the bye week, potentially positioning Hardman for fantasy relevance in some formats versus a subpar Raiders pass defense.

Boykin was held without a catch on two targets Sunday against the Texans.

This marks the third straight week that Boykin has gone without a catch and the fifth time this season overall. He has just three total targets in the last three games and has played in 45 percent or less of the plays in each of those contests. Seth Roberts seems to have leapfrogged Boykin in the pecking order, which leaves the rookie with almost no path to regular targets.

Erickson had one catch for zero yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

Rookie quarterback Ryan Finley really struggled despite a matchup that appeared to be advantageous, and that really manifested itself with the production of the Bengals' wide receivers. Both Erickson and Tyler Boyd essentially were shut out.

Williams caught two of five targets for 76 yards in Monday night's 24-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Williams' performance was highlighted by an outstanding 50-yard reception on Los Angeles' final offensive series. That grab not only set up a dramatic finish to the game but also significantly boosted Williams' fantasy output. In fact, he ended up trailing only Austin Ekeler for the Chargers' team lead in receiving yards. With a catch of at least 40 yards in an incredible four consecutive games, Williams now enters the bye week averaging a whopping 20.0 yards per reception on the season.

Allen caught eight of 12 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Allen not only led the Chargers in targets and tied tailback Austin Ekeler for tops in receptions, but he scored his team's only touchdown of the night as well. That came on a seven-yard grab to close the third quarter, giving the veteran receiver his first end-zone trip since Week 3. Allen now sports good momentum heading into Los Angeles' bye week, but when he returns he'll face a Broncos defense that held him to a season-low 18 receiving yards earlier this season.

Hill is dealing with a strained hamstring, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Hill picked up a limp after failing to bring in a long pass in the first quarter, never returning to the game thereafter. There's no telling how long he could be sidelined until he undergoes further testing this week, but the Chiefs might catch a break in that regard with their bye on tap in Week 12.

Renfrow caught five of six targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.

Renfrow matched tight end Darren Waller for the team lead in receptions Sunday, and the former has now caught at least four passes in four consecutive games. Renfrow logged less than 50 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps for the first time since Week 7, but the rookie still posted his second-best performance of the season from a yardage standpoint.

Jones caught all three of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.

Jones' playing time isn't much of a concern with at least 39 offensive snaps logged throughout the Raiders' past three games, but he's failed to eclipse 27 receiving yards in a single contest since joining the Silver and Black. Expect the offense to lean on rookie running back Josh Jacobs again in Week 12 against the Jets.

Hollins played just 13 offensive snaps in Sunday's 17-10 loss to New England and saw no targets..

The snap count was the 26-year-old's lowest since Week 1, as he had seen at least 31 every week in between. The recently signed Jordan Matthews absorbed most of that playing time, but J.J. Arcega-Whiteside also played more. Hollins seems to have fallen down the depth chart despite DeSean Jackson (abdomen) being out for the season and Alshon Jeffery sitting with an ankle injury.

Arcega-Whiteside caught his only target for 29 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to New England.

The Stanford product played just 19 snaps with Alshon Jeffery (ankle) out, significantly fewer than the 64 Jordan Matthews saw, despite the latter having just been signed this week. Nevertheless, Arcega-Whiteside made his first catch since Week 3. With Jeffery on the mend, the rookie receiver doesn't stand to see his playing time increase in the near future.
