Dortch hauled in three of nine targets for 27 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Rams.

With Michael Wilson (shoulder) out the last two games, Dortch has been the Cardinals wide receiver to profit alongside Marquise Brown, compiling a combined 9-103-1 line on 17 targets. Dortch also received a red-zone target from Kyler Murray for a second straight contest en route to his first TD, a seven-yard catch, of the campaign. There's no telling when Wilson may return to the lineup, so Dortch could be a decent fantasy dart in the short term, while fellow wide receiver Rondale Moore continues to be relegated to his 4.3 touches per game.

Moore recorded two catches on three targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Rams.

With Michael Wilson (shoulder) sidelined for a second consecutive game, Moore had no problem racking up offensive snaps (53 of 71). He fell shy of 40 yards from scrimmage for the eighth time in 12 appearances this season however, leaving him with averages of 4.3 touches for 34.2 total yards per game and two total TDs. Whenever Wilson returns to the lineup, Moore may find himself on the outside looking in for consistent snaps and targets.

Moore gathered in all three targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Raiders.

Moore hadn't tallied more than a pair of catches in a game since Week 3 and hasn't finished with more receiving yards since then, either. That said, neither his receptions nor receiving yards are particularly impressive from a fantasy standpoint. The second-year wideout hasn't found pay dirt since Week 2 and can safely remain on the waiver wire in most formats.

Watson caught one of three targets for three yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-17 victory against Las Vegas.

Watson scored for a second consecutive week, but it marked his only catch of the day on just three targets, so that still likely isn't enough for him to jump onto the fantasy radar in most formats. He did, however, draw 11 targets last week and has been targeted four times in the red zone in his last three games, so the veteran wideout could be worth a look in really deep formats.

Young (abdomen) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Young managed to practice Tuesday after missing the past two games due to an abdomen injury. If the 24-year-old is able to play versus the Cowboys on Thursday, he can provide value on special teams.

Eskridge (ribs) was a nonparticipant at the Seahawks' practice Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Eskridge saw his participation regress after he was able to log a limited session Monday, making his chances to play Thursday versus the Cowboys slim. He will receive an official game designation following Wednesday's practice.

The Vikings waived Harry on Tuesday.

With Justin Jefferson (hamstring) activated from injured reserve Tuesday and due back following the Vikings' Week 13 bye, Harry was no longer needed. In nine games with Minnesota, Harry played 23 offensive snaps and another 49 on special teams. He didn't earn a single pass-game target.

Pittsburgh signed Copeland to its practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Less than two months after cutting Copeland from its practice squad, Pittsburgh has decided to bring him back into the fold ahead of Week 13. If Calvin Austin (ankle) isn't able to suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals, the Steelers could opt to elevate Copeland to the active roster for that game.

The Vikings reinstated Jefferson (hamstring) from injured reserve Tuesday.

Jefferson was designated for return from IR on Nov. 8 after he missed the required four games due to a right hamstring strain, but he then proceeded to miss the Vikings' ensuing three contests. According to Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, head coach Kevin O'Connell indicated that the star wideout was close to playing Monday, but with a bye on tap in Week 13, the Vikings ultimately erred on the side of caution. Since Jefferson's evaluation window was set to close Tuesday, the Vikings added him back to the 53-man roster with the expectation that he will be ready to play Dec. 10 against the Raiders. Assuming Jefferson is cleared for that contest, he'll be catching passes from someone other than Kirk Cousins (Achilles) for only the second game of his four-year career. Joshua Dobbs has started the Vikings' last three games but threw four interceptions in Monday's loss to the Bears, and O'Connell noted that he's taking the bye week to re-evaluate the quarterback situation. If Dobbs is removed from the starting role, veteran Nick Mullens or rookie Jaren Hall would be the candidates to step in as the new signal-caller.

Powell had three receptions for 45 yards on three targets and one carry for two yards in Monday's 12-10 loss to Chicago.

Powell was tied for third on the team in targets as he's built a rapport with quarterback Joshua Dobbs. However, Powell's role in the offense is set to shrink considerably in Week 14 following the team's bye with Justin Jefferson expected back from injured reserve. Powell will likely become the No. 4 receiver at that point behind Jefferson, Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn.
