Dorsett signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday.

Dorsett has spent most of the past two seasons with Las Vegas' practice squad. He was cut Nov. 6 and has quickly found a new home with the Cardinals. Dorsett could be elevated as soon as this week, as Arizona is working with a depleted wideout corps after No. 1 option Michael Wilson (neck) joined Kendrick Bourne (tibia) on injured reserve Tuesday. However, Dorsett doesn't exactly have a recent history of success -- he hasn't logged an NFL regular-season snap since 2023 and hasn't caught a pass since 2022.

Williams failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Packers.

With Mack Hollins (calf) back in the lineup, Williams still held a big snap share, playing 78 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps against Green Bay. Efton Chism (51 percent) was the biggest loser in terms of playing time. Williams has earned just 15 targets across nine games this season, catching seven passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns.

Atwell recorded two catches on five targets for 16 yards during the Rams' 20-13 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Atwell ended up finishing second among Rams wide receivers in both targets and offensive snaps behind Puka Nacua. However, the Rams' offense will have to undergo a sizable overhaul in the absence of Nacua, who suffered a sprained PCL/MCL in his knee as well as turf toe during Sunday's win, with the superstar wide receiver expected to be sidelined for at least a month while on injured reserve, per Sarah Bishop of ESPN.com. Davante Adams (hamstring) is also on injured reserve, so that leaves Atwell and Konata Mumpfield as the top healthy wide receivers on the Rams' 53-man roster, and rookie sixth-rounder CJ Daniels is also in position for a larger role on offense. The Rams will face the Cardinals in Week 10, and Arizona's defense has given up 19 passing touchdowns on the year, which is second-most in the league behind Las Vegas' 20.

Johnson caught two passes for 76 yards on five targets in Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.

Johnson accounted for the Bucs' longest play of the game, producing a 58-yard catch-and-run to lead the team in receiving yards. Johnson has been working as the Bucs' WR3 behind Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, with rookie Ted Hurst mixing in for sub-package snaps. Johnson isn't a particularly exciting fantasy bet.

Mumpfield caught both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Commanders.

Despite the lack of production, Mumpfield's 20 receiving yards ended up being second-most on the Rams behind Puka Nacua (150). The bigger news from Sunday's game was Nacua sustaining a PCL/MCL sprain in his knee and turf toe, and the superstar wide receiver is expected to miss at least one month while on injured reserve, per Sarah Bishop of ESPN.com. With Davante Adams (hamstring) also on IR until at least Week 11, that leaves the Rams with Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell and rookie sixth-rounder CJ Daniels as the top wide receivers for Matthew Stafford. The Rams hit the road for Week 10 against the Cardinals, whose defense has given up 19 passing touchdowns, which is second-most in the NFL behind the Raiders (20).

Lance failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 23-22 overtime win over the Browns.

With Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) making his regular-season NFL debut against Cleveland, Lance saw his snaps cut against Cleveland. After playing 79 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 7 against Pittsburgh, Lance logged just 51 percent of the plays versus the Browns. He has nine catches for 78 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets this season.

Meyers caught two passes for 47 yards on three targets in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Falcons.

With Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on injured reserve, Meyers has settled in as the Bengals' third receiver behind target hogs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Meyers would need an injury to one of those two to become relevant again in fantasy.

Cooks brought in both of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.

Cooks and other 49ers wide receivers operated in elevated roles Sunday due to the absences of Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring). Cooks' 25 receiving yards ended up being third-most on the Niners behind Jordan Watkins (86) and tight end George Kittle (58), and Cooks' 32 offensive snaps were also third-most among San Francisco wide receivers. The 49ers hit the road for Week 10 against the Cowboys, and Cooks' workload on offense would decrease if one or both of Evans or Samuel was cleared to return.

Whittington (back) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

This is another blow to the Rams' receiving corps, as Davante Adams (hamstring) is still on IR and Puka Nacua (knee/toe) is slated to miss several weeks. Whittington would have had a chance to carve out a major role in Los Angeles' wideout room, but instead he'll be sidelined until at least Dec. 20. The Rams signed Xavier Smith off San Francisco's practice squad Tuesday to take Whittington's place on the 53-man roster and in the WR corps.

Robinson caught three passes for 22 yards on four targets in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.

Playing in his first game since Week 2 due to a high ankle sprain, Robinson played 51 percent of the Niners' offensive snaps against Las Vegas. San Francisco's wideout situation is a week-to-week thing moving forward, with the Tuesday addition of Keenan Allen and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), Mike Evans (Achilles) and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) all likely to return at some point in the near future. Robinson isn't someone to roster in 12-team fantasy leagues.
