  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Expected to land on IR

    Olave (concussion) is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Olave has already been ruled for Sunday's game against the Falcons, with Rapoport indicating that the anticipated move is expected to occur Saturday. In that scenario, Olave, who sustained his second concussion of the season during Week 9 action against the Panthers, would be in line to miss at least the Saints' next four games. With Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) also out this week, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the available wide receivers currently on New Orleans' active roster.

  • Bengals' Jermaine Burton: Out of sync Thursday

    Burton caught one of five targets for 11 yards in a Week 10 loss to the Ravens on Thursday Night Football. He also returned a kickoff for 17 yards.

    With Tee Higgins (quad) out a third straight week and Charlie Jones (groin) missing a second consecutive contest, Burton was given a chance to play after he was a healthy scratch in Week 9 against the Raiders. The rookie wideout couldn't get much going, however, as he was able to reel in just one of the five passes thrown his way. Burton's lone reception was at least an impactful one, as his third-down, 11-yard catch with less than a minute remaining in the first half put the Bengals on Baltimore's three-yard line and was immediately followed by a Joe Burrow touchdown pass to Tanner Hudson. Still, Burton was mostly unimpressive in the defeat, and he could have a hard time getting on the field in Week 11 against the Chargers if Higgins is able to return to action.

  • Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN

    Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Nabs pair of catches Thursday

    Iosivas recorded two catches on four targets for 29 yards Thursday in a Week 10 loss to the Ravens.

    Iosivas logged the second-most catches and yards among Cincinnati wideouts in the contest, though his production was nearly unnoticeable compared to Ja'Marr Chase's huge 11-catch, 264-yard, three-touchdown performance. It's also worth noting that two tight ends (Tanner Hudson and Mike Gesicki) registered more targets, catches and yards than Iosivas, as did running back Chase Brown. Iosivas has served as the Bengals' No. 2 wideout over the past three weeks while Tee Higgins has been sidelined due to a quad injury, but Iosivas hasn't done much with the opportunity, totaling just three catches for 39 yards and a touchdown over the three-game span.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Gets into end zone Thursday

    Agholor caught one of two targets for a six-yard touchdown Thursday in a 35-34 win over Cincinnati.

    Agholor scored Baltimore's first touchdown of the contest on a six-yard reception in the second quarter. The veteran wideout has notched more than one catch just twice through 10 games this season, though he does have two TDs over the past three weeks. Agholor isn't a starting consideration in all but the deepest of fantasy formats given his limited volume.

  • A.J. Brown WR | PHI

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Clear for Week 10

    Brown (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas.

    The same can be said for DeVonta Smith (hamstring), who followed a DNP-LP-FP practice regimen this week, and Dallas Goedert (hamstring), who will putting an end to a three-game absence this weekend. With the Eagles offense back to full capacity for just the second time this season, Brown will have more competition for targets but may actually be put in better positions to succeed Sunday against a Cowboys defense that has allowed the ninth-most YPT (8.27) to opposing wide receivers on the campaign.

  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Returns in limited fashion

    Robinson (toe/hip) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    When Sean McVay touched on Robinson on Thursday, he relayed to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic that the wide receiver wouldn't practice in the ensuing session but should be OK to play Monday against the Dolphins. Increasing his activity level one day later is giving Robinson a chance to back up McVay's words, and the former will have one more chance to get back to full participation Saturday before the Rams potentially tag him with a designation for Week 10.

  • Bengals' Isaiah Williams: Coming to Cincinnati

    The Bengals claimed Williams off waivers Friday.

    Williams, an undrafted rookie from Illinois, appeared in two games with the Lions before being waived Thursday, catching two of his three targets for six yards across just eight offensive snaps. He'll likely serve as a depth piece in Cincinnati's wide receiver room as the season progresses.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    49ers' Chris Conley: Won't play Sunday

    Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.

    Conley sustained a hamstring injury in the 49ers' Week 8 win against the Cowboys, and even with an ensuing bye week, he wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week. With Brandon Aiyuk (ankle) out for the season and Deebo Samuel (rib/oblique) questionable for Week 10 action, Jauan Jennings (hip), Ricky Pearsall, Ronnie Bell and Jacob Cowing are the healthy wide receivers on San Francisco's active roster.

  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Ready for Week 10

    Hardman (shoulder/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos after practicing fully Friday.

    Hardman was limited both Wednesday and Thursday, but he's been cleared for Week 10 action after Friday's full session. With DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson also in the Chiefs' wideout mix, Hardman carries limited fantasy lineup upside ahead of Sunday's contest.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Titans' Tyler Boyd: Cleared for Week 10

    Boyd (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing fully Friday.

    Boyd was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but the wideout's return to a full session Friday sets the stage for him to be available versus Los Angeles. Through eight contests to date, Boyd has compiled a 21-184-0 line on 30 targets, a pace that limits his fantasy lineup utility to deeper formats.
