  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Makes one grab against Chargers

    Agholor caught one of two targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

    The veteran played 41 percent of the snaps, which is in line with his usage rates over the course of the season when the rest of the receiving corps is healthy. Agholor has seen two or fewer targets in six straight weeks and has recorded four receptions for 72 yards and two touchdowns in that span. Even with Mark Andrews' ankle injury opening up plenty of targets to get redistributed, Agholor doesn't appear to be a candidate to see more work. Baltimore is on a bye Week 13 before returning to action against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 10.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Lifted from protocol

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Wicks has been removed from the NFL's concussion protocol, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Wicks suffered the concussion in Green Bay's Week 11 win over the Chargers and was unable to clear the five-step protocol last week ahead of Thursday's win over the Lions. The lengthier turnaround for this Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs should help the rookie receiver, who looks poised to practice fully throughout the week now that he's been removed from the protocol.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Held in check by Chargers

    Bateman caught two of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

    Bateman's usage ticked up in Baltimore's first game without Mark Andrews (ankle), but his production remained stagnant as he was held under 30 yards for the fourth consecutive week. He's played over 80 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps over the last two weeks, so his role is solidified. However, Bateman continues to struggle to convert those snaps into bankable fantasy production. He has a catch rate of just 55.6 percent, which is in the 30th percentile among receivers. Baltimore is on a bye Week 13 before returning to action against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 10.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Considered day-to-day

    Shaheed is viewed as day-to-day with a quad injury he suffered in Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football indicated that Shaheed will likely be unavailable this week, but it sounds like the speedy wideout and return man avoided a serious injury. The Saints host the Lions on Sunday. Shaheed, Chris Olave (concussion) and Michael Thomas (knee, IR) are all dinged up. As a result, New Orleans could be diving deep into its wideout depth chart.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Steelers' Allen Robinson: Held to one catch Sunday

    Robinson secured his lone target for 11 yards during the Steelers' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Although the Steelers looked much better offensively Week 12 following the recent firing of offensive coordinator Matt Canada, Robinson remained limited during the victory. While he topped 20 receiving yards in three of his first five appearances with the Steelers, he's secured just six of nine targets for 48 yards over the past six weeks and is unlikely to have much fantasy upside as long as the team's other pass catchers are healthy.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Two grabs against Washington

    Tolbert caught two of three targets for 49 yards in a 45-10 rout of the Commanders on Thanksgiving.

    He was one of 10 different Cowboys to catch passes from Dak Prescott on the afternoon, with Tolbert posting gains of 31 and 18 yards on his two grabs. The second-year wideout still doesn't have a big role in the offense, but he's pushing Michael Gallup for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart and has caught at least two passes in four straight games, posting a 9-112-1 line on 18 targets over that stretch compared to Gallup's 8-133-1 performance on 11 targets.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Hauls in Thanksgiving TD

    Turpin caught his only target for a 34-yard touchdown in a 45-10 rout of the Commanders on Thanksgiving.

    The second-year return man continues to get occasional usage on offense as the Cowboys try to take advantage of his speed and elusiveness, and Turpin's lone grab Thursday produced the team's final offensive score of the afternoon. It's his third receiving TD of the season and fourth overall on just 18 touches, and while that volume doesn't give him a lot of utility in many fantasy leagues, he's provided some value in deeper best-ball leagues.

  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Does little with bigger role

    Robinson caught both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 37-17 victory against the Cardinals.

    Robinson wasn't listed as a starter for the Rams, but ended up on the field for a season-high 40 snaps on offense, far more than No. 3 wideout Tutu Atwell's 24, though it's worth noting the blowout nature of the game. Despite the big bump in playing time, Robinson was held to a pair of short catches, while Atwell turned in a respectable 3-76-0 performance. Notably, Cooper Kupp didn't look 100 percent throughout the game and also appeared to get dinged up again early in the contest, which may keep Robinson's role trending up heading into a tough matchup against an imposing Browns pass defense in Week 13.

  • Michael Gallup WR | WAS

    Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Just one grab in Thanksgiving win

    Gallup caught his only target for 13 yards in a 45-10 win over the Commanders on Thanksgiving.

    Dak Prescott spread the ball around in the rout and completed passes to 10 different Cowboys, but Gallup was one of the six who has only one reception. The veteran wideout was also on the field for a season-low 18 snaps on offense as younger options like Jalen Tolbert (20 snaps) and Jalen Brooks (six snaps) see their roles grow. Gallup hasn't caught more than three passes in a game since Week 4 and has topped 31 receiving yards only once in that stretch. While every Dallas receiver has some big-play potential given how hot Prescott is right now, it would likely take an injury or two for Gallup's volume to increase significantly.

  • Lions' Donovan Peoples-Jones: No opportunties in passing game

    Peoples-Jones was not targeted with a pass during Thursday's loss to the Packers.

    Peoples-Jones logged two snaps on offense and seven on special teams during his Lions debut last week against Chicago. While he has yet to catch a pass in Honolulu Blue, it feels like progress that Peoples-Jones more than tripled his offensive snaps while being taken off of special teams entirely. However, considering the Lions needed to run 84 offensive plays, it's possible that Detroit was just easing the burden on Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds and Jameson Williams. Next up is a Week 13 matchup with the Saints.
