  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Questionable to return

    Lockett suffered a lower leg injury Monday against the 49ers and is questionable to return, Liz Matthews of The Seahawks Wire reports.

    Lockett began overtime on the sideline with his helmet off, so it appears unlikely that he'll be returning to the field Monday night. He has three receptions for 26 yards in the contest. Look for him to be re-evaluated when the team resumes practice later this week.

  • Cardinals' Trent Sherfield: Sparse role of late

    Sherfield logged just six of 70 offensive snaps during Sunday's 30-27 loss at Tampa Bay.

    Sherfield had a five-game stretch Weeks 4 through 8 in which he played between 52 and 84 percent of the snaps on offense. However, he didn't produce much with the elevated role, gathering in four of 10 targets for 80 yards and no touchdowns. On Sunday, Sherfield was blanked for the third straight outing, while rookie outside receivers KeeSean Johnson (53 percent) and Andy Isabella (37 percent) led the way at the position, and Damiere Byrd was a healthy scratch. Currently, Sherfield appears to be a distant third in the pecking order.

  • Cardinals' KeeSean Johnson: Puts up zeroes in box score

    Johnson played 53 percent of the offensive snaps during Sunday's 30-27 defeat in Tampa Bay.

    Despite leading all Cardinals outside receivers in the category, Johnson was blanked in the box score, failing to haul in any of his four targets. He's has the steadiest role at his particular position this season, seeing at least 40 percent of plays on offense in seven of nine appearances. Still, fellow rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella has come on of late with a 4-166-1 line on four targets over the last two games. At the moment, it appears coach Kliff Kingsbury is comfortable with the duo operating on the outside with 2019 first overall pick Kyler Murray under center.

  • Cardinals' Andy Isabella: Racks up 78 yards receiving

    Isabella gathered in all three of his targets for 78 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss in Tampa Bay.

    On the first play from scrimmage of the second half, Kyler Murray connected with his fellow rookie for a 55-yard gain, marking the second game in a row that the duo hooked up on a play of at least 50 yards. On the season, Isabella has a perfect catch rate on his six targets en route to 29 yards per catch and one TD. Acting as the second outside receiver behind KeeSean Johnson, Isabella increased his share of the offensive snaps from 12 percent in Week 9 to 37 percent this past Sunday. Look for the trend to continue after Damiere Byrd was a healthy scratch in both contests.

  • Chiefs' Demarcus Robinson: Snares four passes

    Robinson reeled in four of his five targets for 56 yards Sunday against the Titans.

    Robinson's offensive-snap rate rose by 27 percent from last week, which coincides with quarterback Patrick Mahomes tossing the rock a season-high 50 times. He clocked in third among the Chiefs' wideouts in targets and should continue to rank fourth in the pecking order among the team's pass-catchers as long as Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins are all healthy.

  • Rams' Brandin Cooks: Not expected for Week 11

    Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Cooks (concussion) is not expected to play in Sunday's game against Chicago, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Cooks is set to miss a second consecutive contest while tending to his fifth recorded concussion that he suffered Week 8. The veteran has visited a few specialists regarding his head injury but has yet to make any significant progress other than practicing in a limited fashion Friday. Considering the protocol Cooks needs to clear and his history of head injuries, there's no telling when he'll be back in the lineup. In his stead, Josh Reynolds saw a season-high 73 offensive snaps Week 10 against Pittsburgh and should be expected to see a similar output Sunday behind Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp.

  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Goes big with only target

    Hardman reeled in his lone target for a 63-yard touchdown Sunday against the Titans.

    Hardman saw a slight increase in his offensive snap percentage Sunday to 22 from 18 and 15 in the previous two weeks. He'll need to use his speed to take advantage of his minimal target share, but he's managed to do just that in three of the last four games, turning just six targets and five receptions into three touchdowns. Still, the lack of volume likely makes Hardman a flier fantasy option in most formats.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Raiders' Zay Jones: Collects just one reception Thursday

    Jones caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 26-24 win over the Chargers.

    All three of the Raiders' active running backs caught more passes than Jones on Thursday night, so it wasn't exactly a memorable performance for the former Buffalo Bill. Jones will look to bounce back against a struggling Bengals squad in Week 11, and there's a chance they'll still be without starting cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (knee).

  • Miles Boykin WR | CHI

    Ravens' Miles Boykin: No targets against Cincinnati

    Boykin was not targeted in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

    Baltimore had just 22 pass attempts, and Boykin only played 21 total snaps. He hasn't caught a pass in his last two games and has just one target in that span. Baltimore has the second-lowest passing play percentage in the league, and Boykin is eighth on the team in target share, giving him a near-impossible path to fantasy relevance in 2019.

  • Curtis Samuel WR | BUF

    Panthers' Curtis Samuel: Hauls in touchdown

    Samuel caught four of eight targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Packers.

    Samuel opened the scoring with a two-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter, now giving him four end-zone trips over his last four games. The wideout also has posted two of his three best yardage totals of the campaign over that same span, boosting his value at an important time in the season. Next up for Samuel is a home date against the Falcons, whose defense has widely underwhelmed despite playing surprisingly well Week 10 versus the Saints.
