TeSlaa caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.

TeSlaa was expected to be more involved on offense in Week 10, and he did play 19 offensive snaps, which was 16 higher than Week 9 and his highest amount since Week 6. Although he did see more action, the wide receiver was still unable to record the first multi-catch performance of his career. TeSlaa will look to get more involved moving forward, starting Week 11 against the Eagles.

Coach Sean McVay announced Monday that Mevis will once again handle kicking duties for the Rams next Sunday against the Seahawks, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Mevis was elevated from the practice squad over the weekend and got the nod over struggling Joshua Karty against San Francisco, and Mevis responded by making all six of his extra-point tries. Karty remains on the 53-man roster, but Mevis can continue to be elevated from the practice squad the next few weeks while the Rams figure out their kicking situation down the stretch ahead of a possible postseason run. Kicking in the Los Angeles offense makes Mevis a desirable fantasy target at the position.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that McLaurin will not play in next Sunday's game against the Dolphins, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

It's another early-week rule out for McLaurin, who doesn't seem to be particularly close to a return in what has turned into a lost season for the Commanders. This could also go down as a lost season for McLaurin, who has appeared in just four games, though he's left a pair of those early with quadriceps issues. Deebo Samuel and Treylon Burks (finger) paced the Washington wide receivers in playing time Week 10 against the Lions, followed by Robbie Chosen, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore in that order. McLaurin will have the Week 12 bye to try and get ready for a Week 13 date with the Broncos.

Gadsen is considered day-to-day after an MRI on Monday revealed the nature of his injury to be a bruised quadriceps, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gadsden was forced out of Los Angeles' win over the Steelers on Sunday night early due to what was initially called a left knee injury, so the results of his MRI are ultimately encouraging. The rookie tight end's status will need to be monitored as the Chargers prepare for a road contest against the Jaguars in Week 11, but it at least appears he's avoided any sort of severe injury that could require a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly will operate as Los Angeles' top pass-catching tight ends if Gadsden misses any time.

Farrell had two receptions on as many targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Farrell got back in the scoring column after recording the first touchdown of his career against the Saints in Week 2. The blocking tight end had just five receptions for 48 yards in the seven games in between his trips to the end zone. Farrell's minimal role on offense keeps him out of the fantasy conversation in standard formats.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman sustained an ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Vikings, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Bateman's injury forced him to don a walking boot after Sunday's win, but Harbaugh said he expects the veteran wideout "to be OK." Harbaugh declined to specify whether Bateman is expected to miss any time, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, so his practice activity this week will be telling. In the event that Bateman isn't able to suit up on the road against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 16, wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace, as well as No. 2 tight end Isaiah Likely, could benefit from increased target opportunities.

Kincaid is week-to-week after suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Kincaid secured two of three targets for 37 yards before being forced out of Sunday's divisional loss in the third quarter. He appears to be dealing with an injury severe enough to keep him sidelined Week 11 versus the Buccaneers and potentially longer, though the Bills haven't yet provided an estimated timetable for third-year pro's recovery. Kincaid has emerged as one of Josh Allen's clear top targets in the passing game alongside wide receiver Khalil Shakir, and any missed games on his part will thrust Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes into expanded roles at tight end.

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.

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.

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.
