Bryant failed to reel in his lone target in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

Bryant played 34 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Monday, his highest snap share of the season. Despite the increased playing time, the rookie wideout was unable to make much noise in Denver's blowout win over the Bengals. Bryant's only target from quarterback Bo Nix was on a fade route in the end zone, but the two were unable to connect. Nonetheless, the 22-year-old should continue to develop and could push for more playing time as the season progresses, especially if the wide receiving corps is affected by the injury bug at some point. Bryant should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Eagles in Week 5.

Wicks was targeted four times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's 40-40 tie with the Cowboys.

Wicks would have had a chance for a long-gainer had teammate Matthew Golden not been in the same area on a deep ball from quarterback Jordan Love early in the contest, but he wound up finishing with just a pair of catches for the third time in four games. The playing time has slowly ticked up for Wicks, but the production hasn't followed suit, and he could be joined at practice by fellow wideout Christian Watson (knee) following Green Bay's Week 5 bye.

Jefferson recorded one catch on one target for six yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.

Jefferson played a season-high 41 percent of offensive snaps, though it translated to just one target. He has one or fewer targets in three of four games this season and is not on the fantasy radar.

Dike was not targeted in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans. He recorded one rush for minus-four yards.

Dike was on the field for 35 percent of offensive snaps, but his only impact on the game came on special teams. He remained Tennessee's primary kick returner and averaged 23.5 yards on six attempts.

Lockett recorded no receptions on four targets on Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.

There were some positives to take away from the performance, as Lockett logged a season-high 74 percent of offensive snaps and drew four targets for the second consecutive game. However, he was unable to connect with Cam Ward, who has struggled in his first four starts as a pro. Like nearly every Titans' pass catcher, Lockett is an unreliable fantasy option.

The Vikings cut Jones from the practice squad Tuesday.

Jones was signed to the Vikings' practice squad this past Wednesday after being released from the active roster one day prior. He will now have the opportunity to sign with another team in need of depth at wide receiver, though he could opt to stick around in Minnesota if a reunion is desired between the two sides. Jones' removal makes room on the Vikings' practice squad for offensive tackle Matt Waletzko, who reached an injury settlement with the Cowboys in early August after sustaining an ankle injury during training camp.

The Lions cut Bell from the practice squad Tuesday.

The move makes room on the Lions' practice squad for linebacker Ty Summers. Bell joined Detroit's practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the 49ers, when he logged two catches (on six targets) for 22 yards while adding 23 yards on kick returns.

The Panthers waived/injured Campbell (hamstring) on Tuesday, Darrin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Campbell suffered a hamstring injury during the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Campbell will be placed on waivers, but if he's not claimed by another team he'll revert to the Panthers' injured reserve list, which would require him to miss at least the next four games.

Hill isn't expected to require any follow-up procedures after undergoing successful surgery Tuesday to repair a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus indicated that the receiver's surgery "went very well according to his doctors," and a return to game action at the start of the 2026 season is considered a "realistic goal." Though the 31-year-old will face the tough challenge of working his way back from a major knee injury that included an ACL repair, the fact that he seemingly avoided any nerve damage and won't need multiple surgeries bodes well for his long-term outlook. That being said, his availability for the start of next season is far from guaranteed, and Hill may well have played his last snap as a Dolphin. He remains under contract for 2026 at a base salary of $29.9 million, but none of that money is currently guaranteed, and Miami could cut him at no cost up until the third day of the new league year in March.

The Browns signed Corley from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

Corley and Gage Larvadain were both signed to the active roster to give the Browns much-needed depth at wide receiver after Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) were both placed on injured reserve. Corley joined the Browns' practice squad in late August after failing to make the Jets' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2024 third-rounder logged just three catches (on six targets) for 16 yards along with two carries for 26 yards across nine regular-season games during his rookie campaign as a member of the Jets.
