  • Cardinals' Trent Sherfield: Tending to knee concern

    Sherfield (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

    Sherfield was the Cardinals' second-most utilized outside receiver during Sunday's 31-9 loss at New Orleans, earning a 53 percent share of the offensive snaps. He ranked behind Damiere Byrd (88 percent) and ahead of Andy Isabella (two percent) while KeeSean Johnson was inactive, but the workload didn't amount to any production, as Sherfield was unable to gather in either of his targets. With a knee injury in tow, Sherfield's availability now is in question ahead of Thursday's divisional matchup with the 49ers.

  • Zach Pascal WR | NYG

    Colts' Zach Pascal: Just one reception Sunday

    Pascal had just one reception for six yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Denver. He also had two kickoff returns for 76 yards, including a 47-yard return.

    After a career-best game the prior week where he had 106 yards receiving and two touchdowns, Pascal didn't have much impact other than special teams. Pascal was a starting receiver in a three-wideout set with T.Y. Hilton and Chester Rogers and played the second most snaps to Hilton (59 snaps to Hilton's 60 snaps). However, like earlier in the season, that high snap count hasn't always translated into many targets.

  • 49ers' Marquise Goodwin: Rejoins team, should play TNF

    Goodwin (personal) returned to the team Monday and is expected to play Thursday against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Goodwin was excused by the team late last week to tend to a personal matter, but the issue appears to be resolved as the veteran receiver was present at the 49ers' facilities Monday. He figures to work in as the No. 2 receiver behind Emmanuel Sanders for the 49ers. Goodwin's performance as the top option was less than impressive with just 11 catches for 181 yards and a score through six games, so unless Sanders can draw enough attention away from Goodwin, he's a risky play for fantasy purposes.

  • Colts' Parris Campbell: No targets Sunday

    Campbell did not have a target and played just eight snaps on offense in Sunday's win over Denver.

    Campbell returned after missing three weeks due to an abdominal injury, but wasn't much a part of the game plan. It's notable that he was active while Deon Cain was inactive for the game. Campbell had eight targets in his previous game Week 4, so the Colts may have tried to ease him back into action.

  • Robert Foster WR | NYG

    Bills' Robert Foster: Outside of game plan

    Foster was targeted once but didn't catch a pass in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

    The second-year receiver is still looking for his first catch of the year after suiting up in four games and missing three others, simply awful production for a guy that came out of nowhere last season to post a 27-541-3 line in 13 games, especially when you consider Zay Jones recently got traded. Foster is at best the fourth WR option on the team, and with No. 5 Andre Roberts being a valuable return man, the former runs the risk of being benched again if the team wants to suit up Isaiah McKenzie for more change-of-pace plays. Foster is far off the fantasy radar.

  • Keelan Cole WR | LV

    Jaguars' Keelan Cole: Grabs another touchdown

    Cole caught both his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 29-15 win against the Jets.

    The 26-year-old was involved early as the six-yard touchdown occurred barely two minutes into the first quarter, marking his second straight game with a score. Marqise Lee (shoulder) and Dede Westbrook (neck/shoulder) both exited during the first half, leading to Cole's highest snap count of the season (26), but his lack of involvement in the passing game during their absence is a bit disappointing. Cole could work as the Jaguars' No. 3 wide receiver if both players are unable to suit up Week 9.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Rams' Robert Woods: Quiet in Week 8 win

    Woods caught both his targets for 31 yards and rushed four times for six yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over Cincinnati.

    Woods was overshadowed by Cooper Kupp's seven-catch, 220-yard showing, and it was also No. 4 receiver Josh Reynolds who benefited most from Brandin Cooks exiting with a concussion. Reynolds turned his eight targets into three receptions, 73 yards and a touchdown. Woods has struggled to make a fantasy impact this year, as he's been held below 80 receiving yards in six of eight games and is still looking for his first touchdown.

  • Vyncint Smith WR | IND

    Jets' Vyncint Smith: Limited usage continues

    Smith caught two of four targets for 10 yards and added a 13-yard run in Sunday's 29-15 loss to the Jaguars.

    Smith's run was the only play to gain more than five yards on the ground for the Jets. He remains a fantasy afterthought due to a lack of usage, but the 23-year-old receiver has showcased some ability in space, with a 19-yard touchdown and now this 13-yarder on his two career rushing attempts to go with three catches for 15 yards through four games.

  • Jets' Ty Montgomery: Limited to special teams in Week 8

    Montgomery didn't touch the ball on offense in Sunday's 29-15 loss to Jacksonville, but he returned two kickoffs for 31 yards.

    Montgomery watched Bilal Powell serve as the backup to Le'Veon Bell, as Powell received four carries. Nonetheless, Montgomery's versatility still makes him the Jets running back to target should an injury befall Bell.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: One catch in Week 8

    Meyers logged 25 a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Browns, en route to catching one of his two targets for five yards.

    With Mohamed Sanu now in the team's wide receiver mix along with Julian Edelman and Phillip Dorsett, Meyers slots in no higher than New England's No. 4 option at the position, given that N'Keal Harry (ankle) could join the mix as soon as this coming weekend's tilt against the Ravens.
