Kirk secured six of 10 targets for 138 yards and three touchdowns in the Cardinals' 30-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Kirk put a touchdown drought that dated back to Week 11 of last season to rest in spectacular fashion, scoring from 33, 69 and 15 yards out in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. The final touchdown gave the Cardinals a 27-23 lead midway through the fourth quarter, but Jameis Winston ultimately would lead a six-play, 92-yard game-winning drive for the Buccaneers. Kirk's receiving yardage total also was a career high and served as the second 100-yard game of his career overall. He's curiously alternated single- and double-digit targets across his seven games this year, so he'll look to garner double-digit looks in back-to-back contests for the first time in 2019 when he faces the 49ers in Week 11.

Smith-Schuster (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Eight games into his 2019 campaign, Smith-Schuster has logged 33 catches for 459 yards and three TDs, numbers that give him decent fantasy value but don't stack up to his lofty preseason ADP, which was based on him catching passes from Ben Roethlisberger (elbow), who is now on IR. Assuming he avoids any in-game setbacks, Smith-Schuster figures to continue to see his share of targets from QB Mason Rudolph, but of late the duo's chemistry has been hit-or-miss. Additionally, the wide receiver faces the added challenge Sunday of potentially drawing the attention of talented cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Prior to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Davis (hip) "spent time feeling things out pre-game with strength and conditioning coach Frank Piraino" before being made inactive for the contest, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Davis had been listed as doubtful on the team's final Week 10 injury report, but this nugget offers a degree of hope that the wideout may only miss one game, given that the Titans are on bye in Week 11.

Jones will be catching passes from backup quarterback Jeff Driskel in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bears with Matthew Stafford (back) inactive for the contest.

Jones' fantasy outlook, along with that of the rest of his skill-position teammates, naturally takes a sizable hit with Stafford out of action. Driskel does have starting experience, having logged nine games under center with the Bengals last season during which he generated a 6:2 TD:INT and threw for 1,003 yards overall. However, a last-minute spot start against the Bears at Soldier Field figures to be a difficult assignment, even with Chicago's defense not quite as consistent as in seasons past thus far in 2019.

Powell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Powell was elevated from the practice squad Tuesday, but he won't make his season debut yet. The 24-year-old is currently listed as the team's No. 7 wideout, so his offensive impact will be negligible if he's active at any point.

Brown (ankle/thigh) is officially active for Sunday's game versus the Bengals.

The rookie first-round pick will play through the questionable tag for the fourth time this season. Brown returned to action last week against the Patriots after a two-game absence but played only 57 percent of the offensive snaps. The 22-year-old burst onto the scene with 12 catches for 233 yards and two touchdowns in his first two games, but in his last four contests he has only 12 catches for 141 yards and one touchdown. The matchup against the winless Bengals provides a prime opportunity for Brown to get back on track.

Byrd (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Tampa Bay, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

For a second straight game, Byrd will be a healthy scratch. The Cardinals thus will turn to Trent Sherfield, KeeSean Johnson and Andy Isabella as outside receivers.

Davis (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

With Davis out, A.J. Brown and Adam Humphries profile as Titans' top wide receiver targets Sunday, while Tajae Sharpe and Kalif Raymond should be in line for added snaps in the team's Week 10 passing attack.

Moore (thumb) is out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Moore picked up his injury during the team's Week 9 victory over the Patriots. He logged three limited practices leading up to Sunday's contest against the Bengals, but he won't be ready to suit up. He has racked up only five targets this season, so there won't be much void to fill for other Ravens wideouts.

Smith-Schuster (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Rams, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

Smith-Schuster was added to the Steelers' injury report Friday after logging a limited practice, but it doesn't look like his foot issue will sideline him Week 10, an outcome that will be confirmed when the team's inactives are submitted in advance of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
