The Giants waived Clay (ankle) from injured reserve Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Clay was reverted to IR after clearing waivers on Sept. 26. Mostly used on special teams, the 26-year-old wideout out of Utah has just six receptions for 85 yards for his career.

Tate was released by the Saints on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Tate re-signed with the Saints last week and played four special teams snaps Sunday, but did not see the field on offense. The veteran receiver will hope to latch on elsewhere and has 71 receptions for 1,099 yards over his 10-year career.

Robinson saw a season-high 45 snaps Monday against the Broncos, turning them into two catches for 31 yards on three targets.

Robinson's newfound playing time likely came as the result of Sammy Watkins (hamstring) being limited to just 12 snaps. The third-year wideout displayed a connection with quarterback Patrick Mahomes during the 2017 preseason, so if Watkins' injury winds up costing him more time, Robinson could have an opportunity to rekindle that and parlay it into additional playing time.

Conley hauled in four passes on six targets for 13 yards Monday against the Broncos.

Conley's role expanded after Sammy Watkins exited Monday with a hamstring injury, and he saw a corresponding increase with a season-high six targets and 73 offensive snaps as a result. While the four catches are encouraging, he still hasn't finished a game with more than 17 receiving yards this season. Depending on the severity of Watkins' injury, Conley could be in line for an expanded role next week against a stingy Jacksonville defense.

Snead caught six of seven targets for 56 yards Sunday against the Steelers.

Sunday marked Snead's best performance of the season as he brought in a season-high six grabs and gained a new season high in yards. Snead has seen between five and eight targets each week through the first four games of the season, and is catching just under 70 percent of those looks. He will face off against the Browns in Week 5.

Crabtree caught three of eight targets for 29 yards Sunday against the Steelers.

This was Crabtree's worst outing of the season, a game marred by some ugly drops from the veteran. Still, he was quarterback Joe Flacco's favorite target, garnering eight targets over the course of the contest. Drops are a part of the equation when it comes to Crabtree as he's tied for the league lead (3) per the Washington Post. Still, it's clear that he has Flacco's trust and his role isn't going anywhere in the Baltimore offense. Crabtree will face a Browns defense that gives up 278 passing yards per game in Week 5.

Williams caught one of his three targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 29-27 win over the 49ers.

After a three-week stretch in which Williams caught 11 passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns, the second-year receiver nearly laid an egg against what figured to be a nice matchup in the 49ers. While Travis Benjamin (foot) did play Sunday for the first time in three weeks, the speedy receiver didn't even make it through the whole game, creating a puzzling outcome for fantasy owners hoping for another showcase game by Williams. Quarterback Philip Rivers seemed content to throw short passes all afternoon, evidenced by his 25 completions for just 250 yards, which likely resulted in the muted performance by Williams. He still figures to be a factor most weeks, particularly when the Chargers make it in the red zone, but it's a bit concerning to see the team ignore Williams after such a strong start to the 2018 campaign.

Gibson played just three offensive snaps and was not targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Titans.

On the plus side, he played three times as many snaps on offense as he did the previous week. With the recent return of Alshon Jeffery and signing of Jordan Matthews, Gibson is more buried on the depth chart than ever.

Sutton caught three of six targets for 51 yards in Monday night's 27-23 loss to the Chiefs.

Sutton caught the eye with a few nice plays over the course of the contest, but his most impressive contribution came on a 42-yard reception to set up Denver's first touchdown drive. The big-bodied target later drew a flag in the end zone, setting up a one-yard touchdown run during the third quarter. Overall, Sutton finished second on the team in receiving yards and set new high marks across the board for his rookie season. Considering the Broncos have now gone three straight games without a passing touchdown, it'll be interesting to see if they can further incorporate the 6-4, 216-pound Sutton in the red zone against the Jets in Week 5.

Hill caught nine of 13 targets for 54 yards in Monday night's 27-23 win over the Broncos. He also rushed once for two yards and returned a punt 37 yards.

Hill led the Chiefs in both receptions and targets, setting season-high marks in the process, yet was relatively well contained by the Broncos defense. Besides his long punt return, Hill's biggest gain Monday came in the form of a 15-yard catch, which paled in comparison to his average grab of 22.1 yards entering the contest. While Hill is seemingly always primed to explode, his Week 5 matchup against the similarly spectacular Jaguars secondary should make for quite the confrontation.
