Carnell Tate Ruled Out Against Jaguars
Tennessee Titans rookie first-round wide receiver Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Paul Kuharsky. Tate missed practice Wednesday and Thursday after Tennessee's bye and is set to miss his second straight game. He leads the Titans with 413 receiving yards and caught 11 passes for 139 yards in his last two games against Indianapolis and Cleveland. In the first game without Tate, tight end Gunnar Helm led Tennessee with nine targets in an overtime loss to Cincinnati. Wan'Dale Robinson led the wide receivers with seven targets and caught six passes for 57 yards and a touchdown, keeping him the strongest PPR option among Tennessee's wideouts this week. Chimere Dike went from 13 offensive snaps against Cleveland to 63 against Cincinnati, the biggest increase among Tennessee's wide receivers. That put him ahead of Elic Ayomanor (50) and Calvin Ridley (40). Dike caught five of six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown, topping the 53 receiving yards he had through the first seven weeks.

Jameson Williams' Targets Slide Despite Steady Playing Time
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams scored five PPR points against the Miami Dolphins after putting up at least 16 in four straight games. His only catch went for 31 yards, and he added a nine-yard run. Williams drew nine targets against the Green Bay Packers, six against the Minnesota Vikings and two against Miami while playing at least 83% of Detroit's offensive snaps in each game. Jared Goff attempted 25 passes against both Minnesota and Miami, and Amon-Ra St. Brown drew a team-high 10 targets against the Dolphins on five fewer snaps than Williams. The uneven volume makes Williams a volatile WR2 in 12-team PPR leagues for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots in Munich. He has a catch of at least 30 yards in five straight games and scored on both of his receptions against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5. New England gave up 335 receiving yards and two touchdowns to Christian Watson and Matthew Golden last week, including four catches of at least 28 yards by Watson.

Texans Waive Dare Ogunbowale
Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale was waived Thursday. Houston also claimed wide receiver and return specialist Nikko Remigio from the Kansas City Chiefs. Ogunbowale played 62 snaps on special teams and 16 on offense in five games after Houston signed him off the Las Vegas Raiders' practice squad in late September. His only touch was a three-yard catch in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers, when he also brought down Kimani Vidal on a fourth-quarter kickoff. Ogunbowale played all 17 games for Houston last season, finishing second on the team with 16 tackles on special teams and handling 21 touches on offense. Emari Demercado played twice as many offensive snaps as Ogunbowale against the Chargers and had seven touches in his Texans debut. He could start Sunday at Cleveland if Woody Marks and David Montgomery are both out, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Marks (knee) missed Thursday's practice after being limited Wednesday, while Montgomery (groin) returned to limited practice Thursday after missing Houston's last three games.

Omar Cooper Jr. "Good to Go" for Week 10
New York Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) is "good to go" for his team's Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Cooper Jr. has been limited in practice this week by an ankle injury, but it appears he is healthy enough to play on Sunday. The 22-year-old suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 that landed him on Injured Reserve and kept him sidelined through Week 5. However, Cooper Jr. has impressed since returning, recording 19 catches for 276 yards and two touchdowns on 23 targets across the Jets' last four games. The Jets could get WR1 Garrett Wilson (concussion) back from the concussion that held him out in Week 9, which would likely take a few targets away from Cooper Jr. Still, Cooper Jr. carries big-play upside and profiles as a viable flex option for fantasy managers in Week 10.
