Thompson was waived from Seattle's practice squad, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Thompson joined Seattle less than a week ago, but the team preferred to add practice-squad depth at defensive tackle in Bryan Mone instead.

The Jets placed Bellamy (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

Bellamy sat out Sunday's loss to the Dolphins and is now set to miss the rest of the 2019 season. The 30-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Jets in March and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in seven games.

Ateman caught his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Sunday's 31-24 win over Detroit.

Ateman played just four snaps but made his one touch count, hauling in a deep ball over the middle to set up the Raiders inside the 10 for an eventual touchdown. The 25-year-old has appeared in just three games and made just two catches this year, but they've both been for gains of more than 30 yards. He'll still be buried on the depth chart as the Raiders host the Chargers in Week 10.

Powell was promoted to the Falcons' 53-man roster from the practice squad Tuesday.

Powell spent training camp and the preseason with Detroit but didn't make the season opening roster, and he joined Atlanta's practice squad shortly thereafter. The 24-year-old is unlikely to find much involvement offensively with the rest of the Falcons' wide receivers currently healthy.

Jones caught three of his four targets for 21 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Jones saw 66 snaps on offense -- three times more than in his Raiders debut a week prior -- but didn't see many more opportunities, as Hunter Renfrow starred in the passing game. The 24-year-old likely will remain a fringe option in a Week 10 matchup with the Chargers.

The Seahawks waived Jennings on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The Seahawks decided to waive Jennings in September but rescinded their request within 24 hours, so the rookie fourth-round pick remained with the team. However, Jennings has been a healthy scratch in all nine games this year, as he's struggled to learn the playbook, and the addition of Josh Gordon appears to be the final straw. Jennings has impressive athleticism with 4.42 speed and a 37-inch vertical, so he'll be a project if he's claimed off waivers. Otherwise, he could land on the team's practice squad.

Slayton caught one of four targets for six yards in Monday's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys.

Slayton started the contest and played 67 of 72 offensive snaps (93 percent), but he saw his fewest receptions and yards of the season. This dud comes after the rookie fifth-round pick posted two touchdowns in Week 8 against the Lions. Slayton didn't draw much attention despite Daniel Jones heaving 41 passes, but he has a good chance to turn it around against the Jets' suspect secondary in Week 10.

Thielen didn't aggravate his hamstring injury during his brief appearance in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Chiefs, but the Vikings are expected to hold him out of the team's Week 10 game versus the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

After a one-game absence due to the injury, Thielen pushed to play against Kansas City, but he only played seven snaps before removing himself from the contest in the first quarter. With Thielen apparently informing the coaching staff that the hamstring was still troubling him, the Vikings are seemingly motivated to take a cautious approach with him in order to avoid a long-term setback. Minnesota will likely wait until later in the week before offering a definitive ruling on Thielen's status for the game against the Cowboys, but his fantasy managers should already begin looking at other options for their Week 11 lineups.

Snead caught both of his targets for 15 yards Sunday against the Patriots.

Just days after receiving a contract extension, Snead made good on both of his chances against New England, including a crucial fourth-down conversion. The slot receiver sees an uneven target share, logging three games with five targets and five games with three targets or less. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 4 against the Browns and hasn't gone over 20 yards in any of the last three weeks. Snead draws a favorable matchup against the Bengals in Week 10, but it'd take a fantasy roster facing major bye-week attrition to put him on the radar as a possible starter.

Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Adams (toe) suffered no health setbacks in his return from a four-game absence in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers, Zach Kruse of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

A game-time call heading into the contest, Adams proceeded to start and play 83 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps in the loss, finishing the afternoon with seven catches for 41 yards on 11 targets. While the Packers' passing game couldn't get much going in Los Angeles, the improved health of the team's top target should yield better performances moving forward. With Adams' case of turf toe now seemingly in the rear-view mirror, fantasy managers can use him with confidence in the Packers' Week 10 matchup with the Panthers.
