Josh Palmer WR | BUF
Bills' Joshua Palmer: In line for limited listing
Palmer (ankle) will be deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Palmer didn't practice at all last week before being made inactive for the second straight time in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals. The wideout's looming limited listing is a step in the right direction, but unless Palmer practices fully, his status for this weekend's game against the Patriots will remain uncertain.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Not practicing Wednesday
Tillman (concussion/rib) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Tillman was on the field for 64 percent of the Browns' snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans, a game in which the wideout caught one of three targets for 23 yards. He's now contending with a pair of injury concerns ahead of this weekend's contest against the Bears, with two more chances to practice on tap before Cleveland's Week 15 game statuses are posted Friday.

Darius Cooper WR | PHI
Eagles' Darius Cooper: Longest catch of season Monday
Cooper recorded a 19-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Cooper finished fourth among Philadelphia wideouts in snaps, taking the field for 21 of the Eagles' 71 offensive plays (30 percent). He came through with his longest play of the season in the fourth quarter, when he took a pass from Jalen Hurts for a 19-yard catch and run. So long as top wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith stay healthy, the undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State is unlikely to see his role on offense expand.

Jahan Dotson WR | ATL
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Targeted three times in OT loss
Dotson caught one of three targets for three yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Dotson caught just one of three targets for the second straight week, as the fourth-year wideout continues to see minimal usage in the Eagles struggling aerial attack. The 25-year-old should continue to operate as Philadelphia's No. 3 wide receiver, but this role is unlikely to produce much fantasy value down the stretch. Next up for the Eagles is a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.
-
Dylan Drummond WR | ATL
Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Minimal output versus Seattle
Drummond caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.
Drummond's five targets, 21 yards and 61 percent offensive snap share were all season highs for the 25-year-old wideout in just his fifth appearance this season. The Eastern Michigan product has been a nonfactor for most of the season and, for that reason, should remain far off the fantasy radar. Next up for Drummond and the Falcons is a Week 15 matchup against the Buccaneers.
-
David Sills WR | ATL
Falcons' David Sills: No receptions in loss
Sills failed to reel in any of his four targets in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.
Sills was a nonfactor against Seattle, failing to record a single reception for the eighth time this season. The 29-year-old wideout scored his only two touchdowns of the season in back-to-back weeks prior to Week 14, but he has otherwise been an afterthought in Atlanta's passing attack. Sills played the most offensive snaps (60) of any Falcons' wide receiver Sunday with Drake London (knee) sidelined. Despite his increased playing time, Sills should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Buccaneers.
-
Mitchell Tinsley WR | CIN
Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Held catchless in loss
Tinsley failed to record a single target in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.
Tinsley was a complete nonfactor against the Bills, playing just nine of the Bengals' 60 offensive snaps without seeing a target from quarterback Joe Burrow. Heading into a Week 15 matchup against Baltimore, fellow wideout Tee Higgins is in the concussion protocol. If Higgins is forced to miss time, Tinsley would be a likely candidate to see a solid uptick in both snaps and targets. Fantasy managers in need of help at the wide receiver position could consider the Penn State product when the Bengals host the Ravens in Week 15.
-
Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN
Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Records three catches
Iosivas caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.
Iosivas was unable to get much going with his limited opportunities Sunday, as the veteran wideout played 65 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps against the Bills. Looking ahead to Week 15, however, the third-year wideout could be in line to see added snaps behind No. 1 wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase with Tee Higgins in concussion protocol. If Higgins is sidelined in Week 15, Iosivas would be a candidate to see an uptick in targets in a home matchup against the Ravens.

Kameron Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Makes offensive cameo in loss
Johnson failed to bring in his only target, returned two kickoffs for 39 yards and ran back two punts for no gain in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Johnson logged six snaps on offense and saw his first target since Week 10, although he was unable to bring it in successfully on what was a difficult day for the Buccaneers' air attack as a whole. Johnson also continued in his usual returner role, and with Mike Evans (IR, collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (IR, neck) seemingly about to return to action, that special-teams role is likely to represent his only opportunity to touch the ball down the stretch.
-
Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Three grabs in win
Humphrey caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.
Humphrey played 28 of the Broncos 74 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (48) and Pat Bryant (35). The 27-year-old was on the field for more offensive snaps than Marvin Mims (20) and Troy Franklin (19). Humphrey's 38 percent snap share was his largest since joining the Broncos this season, yet his elevated usage did not lead to much production. With quarterback Bo Nix spreading the ball around to so many pass catchers, the veteran wideout remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Next up for Denver is a Week 15 home matchup against the Packers.
