Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Taylor (knee) will resume practicing this week, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

After the Jets fell to 0-7 following a 13-6 loss to the Panthers on Oct. 19, all signs seemed to point to Taylor displacing the struggling Justin Fields as the team's starting quarterback. However, Taylor picked up a knee injury at some point during his appearance in relief of Fields in the loss to Carolina, and Taylor ended up being a limited participant throughout Week 8 prep before being ruled out ahead of the Jets' matchup with the Bengals. Fields continued to direct the offense and turned in one of his best performances of the season en route to leading the Jets to a come-from-behind 39-38 victory over Cincinnati, but Glenn remains non-committal on a starting quarterback coming out of the team's Week 9 bye. Fields' stellar outing might be enough to give him the early edge on the starting nod for Sunday's game against the Browns, even though Taylor looks like he could be back to full health. The Jets' first Week 10 practice report will be posted Wednesday and reveal whether Taylor remains limited or has upgraded to full activity.

Davis played three of the Bills' 64 offensive snaps and tallied 105 kick-return yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.

After playing just three offensive snaps during the Week 9 win, Davis appears firmly behind both James Cook and Ty Johnson in Buffalo's backfield. The Kentucky product handed kick-return duties for the first time this season during Sunday's win, logging 105 yards on four returns. Expect Davis to play a minor offensive role while contributing on special teams in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Wilson (knee) will resume practicing this week, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

The hyperextended knee that Wilson sustained late in an Oct. 12 loss to the Broncos kept him from practicing ahead of each of the Jets' last two games, but the star wideout appears to be gearing up for a return to the field following his team's Week 9 bye. Before deciding on Wilson's status for Sunday's game versus the Browns, the Jets' coaching and training staffs will likely assess how the receiver's knee responds to his first practice activity in three weeks. Per Eric Allen of the Jets' official site, Glenn was unwilling to name a Week 10 starting quarterback, so if Wilson is available to play Sunday, it's unclear if he'll be catching passes from incumbent Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor (knee).

Coleman caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.

The second-year wideout from Florida State has struggled over his last three games, catching eight of 12 targets for just 58 yards despite leading the Bills' wide-receiver room in snaps played (138 snaps) during that span. Even so, Coleman has had a solid season overall, recording 284 yards and two touchdowns on 29 catches. He's likely to remain the Bills' No. 1 wideout and will look to get back on track heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins.

Trautman caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.

Trautman played 46 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, ahead of fellow tight ends Evan Engram (32) and Marcedes Lewis (6). The veteran's two grabs were his first receptions since Week 5, as he continues to contribute as more of a blocking specialist in Denver's offense. Despite Engram operating as the preferred pass-catching tight end, it was Trautman who was able to record two receptions while Engram was held without a catch in the contest. Based on his limited usage in the passing game, the 28-year-old Trautman remains extremely difficult to trust for meaningful fantasy production. Next up for the Broncos is a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders.

The Browns designated Tillman (hamstring) for return to practice Monday.

Now that Tillman has been cleared to practice, the Browns will have 21 days to evaluate him, but if the wideout looks good in workouts this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he'll be activated from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game at the Jets, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Before landing on IR and missing four games, Tillman had accrued an 11-106-2 line on 20 targets through Cleveland's first four contests.

Kraft is slated to miss the remainder of the season after tests on his right knee confirmed that he suffered an ACL tear during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Coming off a career-best performance in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Steelers in which he registered seven catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets, Kraft's breakthrough third season has now come to a screeching halt. The Packers haven't revealed whether the tight end sustained any additional ligament damage beyond the ACL tear, but more information should be known once he undergoes surgery in the coming days or weeks. With Kraft bound for injured reserve, the Packers are expected to turn to Luke Musgrave as their top pass-catching option at tight end for the remainder of the season, while blocking specialist John FitzPatrick could also be in line for extra snaps.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Boutte (hamstring) likely won't practice when the Patriots begin Week 10 prep Wednesday, and the wideout's status for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay is uncertain, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Boutte played just 18 of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense and finished with no catches on one target before being forced out of this past Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons due to a hamstring injury. If Boutte is unable to practice in some capacity by Friday, he'll likely be in line to miss his first game of the season. According to Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, Vrabel specifically noted that Kyle Williams -- who played 46 percent of snaps Week 9 -- would get more opportunities if Boutte ends up sitting out against the Buccaneers.

Hooper caught his only target for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

As long as the veteran tight end works in a timeshare that favors Hunter Henry, his weekly fantasy upside will be limited. Through nine contests to date, Hooper has recorded a modest 13-174-1 receiving line on 14 targets.

Engram failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.

Engram was unable to get anything going in Week 9, as he played second fiddle to fellow tight end Adam Trautman against the Texans. The 31-year-old Engram played 51 percent of Denver's offensive snaps Sunday, reaching above a 50 percent snap share for just the second time this season. Even so, it was Trautman who saw the majority of work at tight end, playing 73 percent of snaps and catching both of his targets for 25 yards. The Denver tight end position is seemingly one to avoid for fantasy purposes, as neither Engram nor Trautman are reliable options, and those hoping Engram could have a strong year in head coach Sean Payton's system have likely already moved on. The veteran will remain difficult to trust when the Broncos host the Raiders in Week 10.
