Parker brought in one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

Parker continues to build upon a tradition of frustrating fantasy owners, posting only eight yards after a Week 8 breakout game in which he logged six catches on nine targets for 134 yards. Quarterback Brock Osweiler threw for only 139 yards without a touchdown during Sunday's loss, so Parker didn't have much of an opportunity to put up numbers. Miami's air attack should see a more positive gamescript during Sunday's game against the Packers, but Parker remains difficult to trust in all fantasy formats.

Powell did not log an offensive snap during Sunday's 24-9 loss to Minnesota.

With Golden Tate off to Philly, there was a chance the 5-foot-8 Powell could take on some sort of offensive responsibilities Sunday. However, TJ Jones ended up taking on the majority of Tate's vacated snaps, and fellow depth wideout Andy Jones was even given a couple of plays over Powell, who was used exclusively as the team's return specialist on both punts and kickoffs. Unless the Lions coaching staff suddenly starts giving him some opportunities to produce on offense sometime soon, Powell belongs far off the fantasy radar.

Coach Matt Nagy said Monday he still considers Robinson (groin) day-to-day.

Robinson played through his groin issue in a Week 7 loss to New England, then sat out the past two weeks as the Bears cruised to easy wins over the Jets and Bills. A more aggressive approach could be in order ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, but we won't have a better idea until the Wednesday practice report is released.

Coutee (hamstring) said he won't return until he is 100 percent healthy, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Coutee has already experienced the downside of rushing back from a hamstring injury, now dealing with a multi-game absence for the second time this year. He did have a surprisingly large role in his three relatively healthy appearances, catching 20 of 27 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown in those games. The rookie will now take a bye week to get some rest, hoping to return for a Week 11 contest at Washington. His comments suggest we shouldn't expect a return to games until he logs at least one full practice session.

Robinson had two receptions for 20 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Detroit.

Robinson played a season-high 26 snaps on offense, but it wasn't the windfall of opportunity that many expected with Stefon Diggs sidelined with a rib injury. He continues to get limited touches in the offense, but has big-play potential with three touchdowns in just 13 targets.

Treadwell had two receptions for 37 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Detroit.

Treadwell got a higher percentage of playing time than usual with Stefon Diggs sidelined with a rib injury, playing 41 of the offense's 49 snaps, but it didn't translate into more production. Treadwell actually had his fewest targets since Week 3. The Vikings gave more targets to Chad Beebe (three) and Aldrick Robinson (three) with Diggs out, showing Treadwell has limited upside.

Jones caught four of six targets for 18 yards during Sunday's loss to the Bears.

On the bright side, Jones saw the field for the most snaps (87 percent) of any Bills receiver, and he does have 10 catches over the last two games as he finally seems to be figuring out the pro game. The problem lies in the Buffalo offense, which barely manages 10 points per game. As much as we like where Jones' long-term outlook seems to be going, pretty much no one is a recommended play in this "O" right now, and that may even hold true for fantasy first-rounder LeSean McCoy. Perhaps Josh Allen's looming return can shine some light on what's turned out to be one of the worst offenses of the millennium.

The Cardinals re-signed Wright on Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Wright returns to the 53-man roster after he was released by the team Oct. 18 following a two-week stint in Arizona. The veteran wideout will provide some additional depth at the position coming off a bye week, but it's unlikely he'll have a major role in the offensive game plan during Sunday's contest in Kansas City.

Moore caught his lone target for a 30-yard gain Sunday against the Steelers.

The third-year player had a season-high in receiving yards and has caught 12 of his 15 targets for 128 yards on the season. However, opportunities remain limited for Moore despite his reliability when targeted with Michael Crabtree, Willie Snead, and John Brown absorbing the majority of the wide receiver targets. Moore and the Ravens are on a bye in Week 10 before returning to action Nov. 18 against the Bengals.

Smith had two catches on three targets for 23 yards, including a four-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win against the Rams.

With Michael Thomas drawing a whopping 15 targets, no other Saint saw more than five targets. Smith, however, managed to make his limited opportunities count, as his touchdown came on a nice grab of a Drew Brees fastball in the second quarter. Still, Smith has not quite emerged as many owners had hoped in the wake of Ted Ginn being placed on injured reserve. Outside of his 111-yard, two-touchdown performance Week 5, Smith has totaled just eight catches for 85 yards in the other three games that Ginn has been unavailable. Nevertheless, the rookie continues to run as the clear No. 2 receiver behind Thomas -- Smith played 68 percent of the snaps against the Rams -- and in the Saints' high-powered offense, he remains a high-upside option, even if he's likely to be inconsistent from week-to-week.
