Kendall Wright WR | MIN
Cardinals' Kendall Wright: Finds home in Arizona
The Cardinals signed Wright to a one-year contract Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
A roster casualty of the Vikings on cut-down day Sept. 1, Wright worked out for a number of teams in the meantime, finally landing a new opportunity with the Cardinals. He's done most of his damage out of the slot in his career, so he may be hard-pressed to see the field with Larry Fitzgerald primarily working there in the latter stages of his career. However, Fitzgerald has been dealing with a hamstring injury for weeks, which could equate to regular snaps for Wright to ease the burden on the long-time Cardinal.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Bills' Zay Jones: Low production, conservative offense
Jones caught three of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans.
Jones' three catches and 20 yards actually led the entire team, as the Bills only threw the ball 20 times in trying to build a better mousetrap with a rookie quarterback, this time handing the ball off to LeSean McCoy 24 times after doing nearly the exact opposite the previous week and getting destroyed by the Packers. Expect the run emphasis to continue as long as Buffalo can stay in the contest, the next one coming against the Texans. As for Jones, he's still looking for his first TD catch of 2018 and hasn't even posted a 70-yard game in 20 pro outings. It's possible no Buffalo wide receiver is worth owning in anything but the deepest of leagues.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Rams' Josh Reynolds: Flashes potential against Seahawks
Reynolds caught two of his three targets for 39 yards and had a 10-yard rush during Sunday's 33-31 win over Seattle.
With Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) injured during the game, Reynolds entered and showed off his athleticism. The second-year receiver flashed similar potential last season when Robert Woods missed time with a shoulder injury, so if Reynolds sees more playing time, there's legitimate upside. The Rams' passing attack tops the NFL with 1,686 yards, after all.

Aldrick Robinson WR | CAR
Vikings' Aldrick Robinson: Role doesn't increase
Robinson played 15 snaps on offense but wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's win at Philadelphia.
Robinson's role in the offense didn't grow, even after catching two touchdowns for 33 yards in the prior week's loss to the Rams. He played just 15 snaps on offense compared to 30 for Laquon Treadwell. Robinson could still get a larger role in the offense if Treadwell drops more passes (four this season).

Laquon Treadwell WR | IND
Vikings' Laquon Treadwell: Three receptions Sunday
Treadwell had three receptions for 21 yards on four targets in Sunday's win at Philadelphia.
Even with Treadwell's drops and Aldrick Robinson's two touchdowns last week, Robinson had 30 snaps on offense compared to Robinson's 15 snaps. However, Treadwell's role in the passing game remains limited even if he keeps the third receiver role.

Equanimeous St. Brown WR | SF
Packers' Equanimeous St. Brown: Records 89 yards in first real action
St. Brown caught three passes for 89 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
St. Brown saw meaningful snaps Sunday for the first time in his career -- 60 of them, to be exact -- and although the bulk of his yardage came on a 54-yard reception with the game relatively over, he still more than held his own. St. Brown's effort could earn him more work moving forward, though snaps could be hard to come by when Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring/concussion) return. If nothing else, though, Sunday's game does at least indicate that St. Brown is ahead of fellow rookie J'Mon Moore -- who had 14 snaps Sunday -- on the Packers' depth chart.

Ty Montgomery WR | NE
Packers' Ty Montgomery: Plays season-high 29 snaps in loss
Montgomery had four carries for 15 yards and one reception for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
Montgomery played his customary complementary role Sunday, filling in for fellow backs Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones in both running and passing situations. Montgomery received at least four carries for the fourth straight game, but finished with more receiving yards than running yards for the fourth time in five games this season. He has generally been the third option in the Packers' backfield since Jones made his season debut in Week 3, but he played a season-high 29 snaps Sunday and has totaled at least 20 plays each week this season, and it's likely he will continue rotating into the backfield mix with Jones and Williams.

David Moore WR | CAR
Seahawks' David Moore: Scores two TDs against Rams
Moore caught three of four targets for 38 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Rams, playing 31 of 60 snaps (52 percent) on offense, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune.
Moore operated as the clear No. 3 wide receiver ahead of both Jaron Brown (nine snaps) and Brandon Marshall (seven). It isn't a role with much potential for consistent production, but Moore at least did his best to ensure he'll stay involved with a few targets per game. Next up is a Week 6 road matchup with an Oakland defense that's allowing 8.9 yards per pass attempt.
-
Brandon Marshall WR | SEA
Seahawks' Brandon Marshall: Plays just seven snaps
Marshall played just seven snaps in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Rams, finishing without a catch on one target.
Marshall appears to have lost the No. 3 receiver job to David Moore, who caught three of four targets for 38 yards and two TDs while playing 31 snaps (52 percent) on offense in Sunday's loss. With Jaron Brown (nine snaps) also in the mix for playing time, the Seahawks might consider dumping Marshall in favor of a depth receiver that can help out on special teams.

Kendrick Bourne WR | ARI
49ers' Kendrick Bourne: Sees seven targets Sunday
Bourne recorded four catches (on seven targets) for 33 yards in Sunday's loss to Arizona.
Bourne was elevated into the starting lineup with both Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) and Dante Pettis (knee) sitting this one out. The 23-year-old saw a career-high seven targets, but none of those came in the red zone -- he had two red-zone targets and two touchdowns over the previous three games -- resulting in a lackluster fantasy line. It is unclear if Goodwin and Pettis will be able to return next week against the Packers, so Bourne could be in line for another start.
