Patriots WR Romeo Doubs is expected to return from injured reserve "in the near future". Doubs is eligible to come back after New England's Week 10 game against the Lions on Sunday. He was placed on injured reserve in October with a shoulder injury.

The Colts are trading WR Josh Downs to the Chiefs, a trade NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported. Kansas City sends fourth- and fifth-round picks to Indianapolis in exchange for Downs and a seventh-round pick, according to a source. The Chiefs had said they 'will explore what's available' at wide receiver.
| Footballguys view: Downs, who recently requested a trade, got his wish. In his fourth season, Downs has caught 33 passes for 354 yards so far in 2026. He had 58 catches for 566 yards with four touchdowns in 16 games last year. The Chiefs have been looking for more depth at receiver and now have a new weapon in Downs. He could also play 18 games, as the Chiefs have already had their bye while the Colts don't have theirs until Week 13. |

The reporter does not "get any sense the Cowboys are interested in moving" WR George Pickens before the trade deadline. Teams have been curious and "maybe a big offer is to come," but it "seems like Dallas will hold on to Pickens," who is slated to be a free agent after the season.

Commanders WR Stefon Diggs has emerged as a possible trade target for the Rams, who are exploring wide receiver options ahead of the trade deadline with WR Davante Adams on injured reserve and WR Puka Nacua expected to miss at least four games with multiple knee ligament injuries. With Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. off the trade block, the Rams may pivot to Diggs. The 32-year-old Diggs has 30 receptions for 303 yards and five touchdowns this season, and his incentive-heavy contract reportedly means an acquiring team would assume approximately $2.5 million in salary-cap obligations for the rest of the season. The Rams have limited draft capital after several offseason moves.

The Colts traded WR Keenan Allen to the 49ers on Tuesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported. Indianapolis is receiving a sixth-round pick in return. Allen, a 14th-year veteran, had been a starter in the Colts' receiver corps.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers' wide receiver corps has been hit hard by injuries this season. WR Mike Evans (Achilles/ribs) has missed the last two games; WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) has missed the last three; WR Christian Kirk (meniscus) is on injured reserve; rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) is on IR and targeting a return in December; and WR Ricky Pearsall (PCL) is out for the season. Allen enters the fray as an experienced, productive veteran capable of putting up solid numbers. A Week 10 matchup against the Cowboys is appealing, but it's not clear how involved Allen will be in this one. |

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk passed his physical on Monday and was officially reinstated, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The next step is Aiyuk hoping for a release from San Francisco, and at least one NFC team has internally discussed the possibility of adding him to its practice squad if and when that happens. |

The Jaguars plan to keep WR Brian Thomas Jr. through the trade deadline and have relayed that to interested teams. Coming off multiple big trades on Monday, Jacksonville plans to keep its roster intact, barring a surprise.

49ers WR Mike Evans missed Sunday's win over the Raiders with Achilles tendinitis, which 'could keep him sidelined for weeks.' The 49ers visit the Cowboys in Week 10.
| Footballguys view: Evans, hasn't played since Week 6, and he definitely won't practice to start the week. "Mike, not expecting him to be ready to go," Shanahan said of Wednesday's practice. "We'll see how he is later in the week." Sounds like expecting Evans to play this week is a reach, but we'll follow up as needed. |

Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) would have been a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report, as the Giants held only a walkthrough. New York hosts the Commanders on Thursday in Week 10.

The Bills placed WR Joshua Palmer on injured reserve on Monday with a hamstring injury suffered in their Week 8 win over the Ravens; he could be back after Thanksgiving.
| Footballguys view: The Bills elevated WR Trent Sherfield for Monday night's game at the Vikings, and rookie WR Skyler Bell is in line to see more snaps. WR Tyrell Shavers and S Jordan Hancock are practicing on their way back from IR, and one of them will likely take Palmer's roster spot, though Sherfield is also a candidate to join the 53-man roster. Palmer has four catches for 117 yards and two touchdowns this season. |
Skyler Bell player page
Rams WR Puka Nacua is likely to go on injured reserve with an MCL/PCL sprain and turf toe, head coach Sean McVay said on Monday. Nacua underwent an MRI on his knee after Sunday's win over the Commanders, when the team did not believe his ACL was torn.
| Footballguys view: With Davante Adams unlikely to return from his hamstring injury before Week 13, Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and rookie CJ Daniels are the remaining healthy receivers on the roster. |
Puka Nacua player page
Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) would not have participated if the team had practiced on Monday, according to the team's estimated practice report. Washington held a walkthrough instead.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders will hold another walkthrough on Tuesday before practicing Wednesday, which Post staffer Tashan Reed called "the big day to watch" ahead of Thursday's Week 10 game at the Giants. |

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday that WR Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is "getting close" to returning, Nick Farabaugh reported. McCarthy did not give a definitive answer on whether Pittman would be available for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bengals. Pittman stayed in Pittsburgh and continued rehabbing at the team's facility through Friday. Pittman, acquired from the Colts in the offseason, is on injured reserve with the foot injury.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) will go through the same process as last week before the team determines whether he can play Sunday against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Pickens, who was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Colts, was previously bothered by a shoulder issue. Now the hamstring is the problem. Ryan Flournoy moves up in the rotation if Pickens can't play this week. |

The Bills placed WR Joshua Palmer on injured reserve on Monday ahead of Monday night's Week 9 game against the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: Palmer missed the entire week of practice with a hamstring injury and will now miss at least four games. Buffalo elevated WR Trent Sherfield Sr. and S Geno Stone from the practice squad for Monday's game. |

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson is out for the season with a neck injury. The injury was described as a "brutal blow" for Arizona. Wilson had been playing through two broken ribs in recent weeks.
| Footballguys view: Wilson led the Cardinals in receiving against the Seahawks, hauling in six of seven targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 17-3 loss. He suffered the fracture on the fourth play Sunday vs. the Seahawks and played through it. Wilson had already played with two broken ribs in the last two games. Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko, Harrison Wallace, and Devin Duvernay are the healthy wideouts on Arizona's roster heading into Sunday's game against the Rams. |

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) has a chance to play in Thursday's Week 10 game against the Giants, and head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that the team is optimistic about it.
| Footballguys view: Burks was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams with the foot injury. Burks led the Commanders in receiving yards during their Week 8 win over the Eagles. He is the only legitimate downfield threat without Terry McLaurin, and the trust with quarterback Jayden Daniels is growing. His return would be a plus for the offense. |
Treylon Burks player page
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team will open the 21-day practice window for WR Xavier Legette this week. Legette has been out since Week 2 with a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Legette's return to practice opens a three-week window before he has to be added to the active roster. In 2026, Legette has appeared in two games for the Panthers and recorded 2 catches for 64 yards. We'll be watching for more. |
Xavier Legette player page
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, head coach Andy Reid said on Monday. Worthy went down grabbing his hamstring during Sunday's win over the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Some believe the best-case scenario for Worthy is that he misses a couple of weeks with his hamstring injury, like Rashee Rice did when he tweaked his hamstring. Reid's assessment seems more optimistic. Remember, the Chiefs are already thin at wide receiver, with Tyquan Thornton on IR recovering from an ankle dislocation, and the team is said to be in the market for help at the position before Tuesday's trade deadline. |

Eagles rookie WR Makai Lemon and WR Darius Cooper continued to be the team's top two receivers in Sunday's loss to the Giants. WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were both inactive.

Broncos WR Pat Bryant was "right back into the mix" in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Panthers, playing 68% of the offensive snaps in his return from an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Only WR Courtland Sutton (85%) played more among Denver's wide receivers, ahead of WR Troy Franklin (55%), WR Marvin Mims Jr. (25%), and WR Jaylen Waddle (19%), who left with a concussion. Bryant caught four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. If Waddle can't make it through the concussion protocol, Bryant could see additional targets in Week 10. |
Pat Bryant player page
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle played just 19% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Panthers before leaving with a concussion. WRs Courtland Sutton (85%), Pat Bryant (68%) and Troy Franklin (55%) led Denver's receivers in snaps.

Buccaneers WR Ted Hurst III played one snap in Sunday night's Week 9 game at Chicago, dropped the only pass thrown his way, and was benched.

Bears WR Luther Burden III has a concussion, head coach Ben Johnson said. Burden left Sunday's win over the Buccaneers in the fourth quarter with a possible head injury after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit on which he fumbled.
| Footballguys view: Prior to exiting Sunday's win, Burden caught seven passes for 97 yards and a touchdown, leading the team. With a bye week to rest, we'll see what Burden's status is going into Week 11 when the Bears take on the New Orleans Saints. |
Luther Burden III player page
Bears WR Luther Burden III left Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers with a possible head injury after taking a direct shot to the head from Buccaneers rookie DL Rueben Bain Jr. on a third-down screen pass late in the fourth quarter. Burden fumbled on the play, giving Tampa Bay good field position, and he was taken to the blue medical tent and did not return. Burden had caught a 56-yard touchdown pass earlier in the game.

49ers WR Mike Evans is dealing with Achilles tendinitis that could keep him sidelined for weeks. Evans missed Sunday's win over the Raiders, as did WRs Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk. With the receiver group shorthanded, a trade for a wide receiver seems the most likely move for San Francisco before Tuesday's trade deadline.

New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins caught 3 passes for 36 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He finished with 11.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) without a projection.

New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 5 passes for 102 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.7.

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson caught 7 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 45-27 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.6.
| Footballguys view: Watson's big performance, which included a career high in yardage, coincided with Matthew Golden's 10-catch, 164-yard effort. The Packers scored a season-high 45 points in their Week 9 win, the most the Patriots have ever allowed in a game at Gillette Stadium. Green Bay also posted a season-high 478 total yards, including 129 rushing yards, after failing to surpass 90 rushing yards in any of their first eight games of the 2026 season. The Packers host the Vikings in Week 10. |

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden caught 10 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 45-27 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 13.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.4.
| Footballguys view: Golden was the star early as he caught seven passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half to help the Packers to a 24-14 lead at the break. He's had at least 10 targets in each of the past four games. Meanwhile, Christian Watson finished with seven catches for 171 yards, making this the fourth time that the Packers have had two wideouts with at least 150 yards in a game, and both players set career highs for their receiving yards in a single game. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston ran 1 time for 5 yards and also caught 1 pass for 58 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 5.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.8.
Link to storyQuentin Johnston player page
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell caught 4 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 3.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.5.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke noted, with Xavier Hutchinson taking over the slot role, Dell, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Kayshon Boutte rotated opposite Nico Collins. Dell and Harrison split snaps relatively evenly in both 11 and 12 personnel. Boutte was a distant third among the three in terms of snaps, but he caught four passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Looking ahead, Houston has not indicated that Boutte, Dell, or Harrison will start playing in the slot, meaning all three receivers will continue competing for one spot, and any one of them could have a big week. |
Tank Dell player page
Houston Texans WR Kayshon Boutte caught 4 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 3.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.5.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Boutte entered Week 9 action with a cumulative 15-194-0 line on 23 targets through seven appearances this season, so Sunday's performance was a true outburst. The issue in the future will be the three-way split the Texans used in Los Angeles, with Boutte, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Tank Dell all sharing the spot opposite Nico Collins. |
Kayshon Boutte player page
San Francisco 49ers WR Jordan Watkins caught 4 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.6.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) is playing Sunday night against the Bears. Egbuka was listed as questionable for the game. Tampa Bay's inactives are DL DeMonte Capehart, OLB Yaya Diaby, CB Aiden Garnes, G Trevor Keegan and G Billy Schrauth.

Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury on the team's final offensive snap of Sunday's win over the Commanders and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. The team does not believe Nacua suffered a torn ACL, but Monday's imaging will tell more.
| Footballguys view: Nacua was not asked about the knee injury after the game. He was asked about his trip to the blue medical tent in the third quarter and said he was checked for a concussion but was cleared. Nacua had 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in the win. He was targeted 19 times. Nacua's 25 receptions over the last two games are the second most by a Rams player in the Super Bowl era. We will obviously be watching for the results of Nacua's imaging and following up through the team's Week 10 game in Arizona. |
Puka Nacua player page
Indianapolis Colts WR Ashton Dulin ran 1 time for 3 yards and also caught 1 pass for 55 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 0.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.3.
Link to storyAshton Dulin player page
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb caught 10 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 19.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.5.
| Footballguys view: Lamb also fumbled close to the Colts' 10-yard line on a bizarre play when he wasn't touched down and got up to tack 30ish yards onto his total on the day. George Pickens missed this one with a hamstring injury, which opened the door for Lamb to take on most of the downfield pass offense. We'll see if Pickens can rally to play in a classic NFC matchup with San Francisco at home next week. |
CeeDee Lamb player page
Patriots WR Mack Hollins and WR Kyle Williams were the team's starting wide receivers for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Hollins, who was activated from injured reserve on Saturday after a calf injury, was listed as questionable for the game. QB Drake Maye and RB Rhamondre Stevenson were also in the starting lineup.

49ers WRs Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins were listed as the starting wide receivers in San Francisco's starting offense against the Raiders on Sunday. The rest of the starting skill-position group was QB Brock Purdy, RB Christian McCaffrey, FB Kyle Juszczyk and TE George Kittle. McCaffrey had been dealing with a hamstring injury but carried no injury designation for the game.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey hurt his back in pregame warmups and did not play in Sunday's game against the Texans.
| Footballguys view: McConkey's back spasms give us just another reason to worry about a player who can't seem to stay healthy. He's going to get dropped in a lot of redraft leagues after giving teams a zero today, and it might not be the best idea to pick him up even though the Chargers' schedule finally gets less difficult after a game at Baltimore next week. |
Ladd McConkey player page
Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant caught 4 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Carolina Panthers. He finished with 13.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) without a projection.
| Footballguys view: Bryant played a big role in the second half after Jaylen Waddle left with a concussion. He has arguably the best chemistry with Bo Nix of any of the Broncos receivers. Bryant isn't worth carrying through the bye in typical leagues with Waddle likely back on the field in Week 11 after the team's bye, but he could be a waiver-wire pickup eventually with the Broncos facing a weak second-half schedule. |
