  • 49ers' Jordan Watkins: No targets against Rams

    Watkins was limited to three snaps on offense (five percent) and did not garner a target in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    Watkins was held without a reception for the first time in the three games since returning from a calf injury. The fourth-round pick has watched his targets dwindle from two to one before finishing with zero in Sunday's loss. That is a concerning trend for those hoping the rookie would carve out a role for the injury-depleted 49ers this season. Watkins is off the fantasy radar for next Sunday's tilt against the Cardinals.

    49ers' Skyy Moore: Reception in consecutive games

    Moore secured his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    Moore recorded a reception in consecutive games for the first time this season. The return specialist logged 11 snaps on offense (17 percent) while running back one punt and one kickoff in the loss to a division foe. Moore's role on offense remains too small for the receiver to make a fantasy impact against the Cardinals next Sunday.

  • 49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Gets involved Sunday

    Robinson had three receptions (on four targets) for 34 yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    Robinson returned to form after being held to five yards on two receptions (five targets) over his previous three appearances. Sunday's three-catch day matched the veteran's previous season high set against the Rams back in Week 5. Robinson's elevated play against his former club still resulted in a forgettable fantasy score, highlighting the overall disappointment of his tenure with the 49ers. The 30-year-old simply isn't doing enough to be a fantasy consideration for next Sunday's tilt against the Cardinals.

  • 49ers' Kendrick Bourne: Held to one catch in Sunday's start

    Bourne caught his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    Bourne started and logged 43 snaps on offense (68 percent) Sunday, so a lack of playing time can't excuse the putrid fantasy line. The veteran wideout was simply outclassed by the Rams' defensive backs, failing to create separation in a game the 49ers were forced to throw the ball 39 times. After reviving his career with a pair of 142-yard games in Weeks 5 and 6, Bourne has fallen off as a fantasy option in the following weeks, averaging just 2.3 targets per game in those four contests. The 29-year-old's Week 11 value is limited to deeper formats, even in a favorable matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

  • Alex Singleton LB | DEN

    Broncos' Alex Singleton: Recovering from surgery

    Singleton (groin) announced Monday that he is recovering from a surgery he underwent to remove a cancerous tumor after Denver's win over the Raiders on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Singleton said the "prognosis is excellent" and that he expects "to return to the field very soon," though his status for Sunday's upcoming road matchup against the Chiefs now appears uncertain. The veteran linebacker has held down an every-down role on defense for the Broncos, and he's racked up 89 tackles (36 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one interception across 10 regular-season appearances so far. If he were to miss any time, Dre Greenlaw would likely be thrust into a starting role at interior linebacker.

  • Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Just one catch

    Ferguson secured one of four targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 42-26 victory against the 49ers.

    Despite falling well short of the other Rams' tight ends in terms of playing time on Sunday (22 of 69 snaps on offense), Ferguson was involved often when he was on the field. Matthew Stafford continued targeting the second-round rookie and finally hit paydirt on a long target in the fourth quarter that set up a Kyren Williams touchdown. While Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson continue to have a role on offense, Ferguson seems like the best opportunity for explosive plays out of the quartet. A Seahawks defense that just gave up a 9-127-1 stat line to Trey McBride is up next for Ferguson and the Rams in Week 11.

  • Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Will practice Week 11

    Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Monday that Strange (quadriceps) will have his 21-day practice window opened Week 11, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Strange has missed Jacksonville's last four games while on IR, but he'll get back on the practice field in at least a limited capacity in advance of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. It remains to be seen whether Strange could be a candidate to return to the starting lineup in time to face Los Angeles, however. Once fully cleared, Strange will resume operating as the Jaguars' top tight end, a role that Hunter Long (hip) had filled before an injury forced him to remain sidelined Week 10 versus the Texans.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Makes one catch in Week 10 loss

    Bellinger caught one of two targets for eight yards in a loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    With New York's wideout corps behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton struggling to produce, the Giants went tight-end heavy throughout much of Sunday's matchup. Top TE Theo Johnson was on the field for all but two of New York's offensive snaps, while Bellinger logged a hearty 73 percent snap share. However, whereas Johnson shined with seven catches on eight targets for 75 yards, Bellinger was largely ignored as a pass catcher, recording just one reception for eight yards. Johnson has drawn at least four targets in seven straight contests while Bellinger has reached that target share just twice during that same span, so there's no debate about which of the pair is the preferred option in the Giants' passing game (and in fantasy).

  • Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Moving up WR depth chart

    Olszewski didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Chicago. He also called for a fair catch on his lone chance at a punt return.

    Though Olszewski couldn't reel in either of his two targets, he undoubtedly made a positive impression on New York's coaching staff when he astutely punched the ball away from Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright on what looked like a sure interception in Chicago's end zone. Also of note is that Olszewski logged a 38 percent offensive snap share, third highest among Giants wideouts behind Wan'Dale Robinson (99 percent) and Darius Slayton (62 percent). The only other New York WR to get any offensive snaps was Ray-Ray McCloud, who logged a 27 percent snap share. Meanwhile, Jalin Hyatt didn't see the field, making it clear that Olszewski has jumped over Hyatt in the pecking order, at least temporarily. Whether or not that continues moving forward remains to be seen, though, as the Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, casting uncertainty about what lies ahead for the team's personnel, depth chart and playbook.

  • Davis Allen TE | LAR

    Rams' Davis Allen: Records third TD of season

    Allen secured both of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-26 victory against the 49ers.

    Allen's touchdown drought came to an end after he hadn't scored since the first two games of the season. The four-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford in the second quarter was the first of two scoring tosses to Rams' tight ends, with Colby Parkinson snagging his first touchdown catch of the year late in the fourth quarter. With so many mouths to feed in a crowded tight-end room, Allen will continue to be difficult to trust in lineups even with a divisional contest in Week 11 against a Seahawks squad that just gave up a 9-127-1 line to Trey McBride.
