Zaccheaus hauled in his lone target in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills for a 29-yard touchdown.

On third-and-15 with the Eagles losing, 24-21, in the fourth quarter, Jalen Hurts scrambled to his left and found Zacchaeus in the back corner of the end zone, and the wide receiver hauled in the pass above two Buffalo defenders to give his team the lead. It was an impressive highlight, but given that Zaccheaus has fewer catches (seven) than games played (11) this season, his fantasy relevance remains minimal.

Jones saw the field for a season-high 46 snaps Sunday against the Bills but finished with one catch for zero yards on three targets in the Eagles' 37-34 overtime win.

Jones played fewer than 20 snaps in each of his first three games with the Eagles, but he jumped up to 31 snaps in Week 11 and now 46 snaps in Week 12. Though Jones set a new season high with three targets, quarterback Jalen Hurts' attention continues to fall primarily to A.J. Brown (nine targets) and DeVonta Smith (eight targets).

Watkins returned from a hamstring injury in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bills but didn't draw a target in the passing game.

Watkins stood a clear third on the wide receiver depth chart at the beginning of the season, but after missing five weeks with a hamstring injury, he may have fallen all the way down to fifth. His 16 offensive snaps trailed Olamide Zaccheaus' 18 by a narrow margin, with both wideouts seeing the field far less than Julio Jones (47 snaps), who was signed during Watkins' absence and appears to have a firm grip on the No. 3 job behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Berrios failed to secure his only target during Friday's 34-13 win over the Jets.

Berrios made an impact in the return game, fielding both kickoffs and punts, but his involvement in the passing game remains marginal despite handling 54 percent of offensive snaps. He remains an ancillary option for Miami heading into a Week 13 matchup at Washington.

The Packers waived Melton on Monday.

Melton played two snaps on offense and another six on special teams in the Packers' Thanksgiving Day win over the Lions. He didn't register any stats. Melton will likely head back to the practice squad once he clears waivers.

McKenzie had one carry for three yards and didn't have a target in Sunday's 27-20 win over Tampa Bay. He also returned one punt for 13 yards.

McKenzie played just six snaps on offense as he moved back to mostly a special teams role with the Colts' top three receivers healthy.

Pierce had four receptions for 27 yards on six targets in Sunday's 27-20 win against Tampa Bay.

After recording just one reception for 21 yards over his last two games, Pierce was more involved against Tampa Bay. He had his most receptions in a game this season, which speaks more to his lack of production in the offense. He continues to get a heavy workload as a starting wide receiver but few receptions as Indy's main deep threat.

Jefferson (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Bears.

Jefferson officially remains on injured reserve and will look to make his return Week 14 against the Raiders following Minnesota's Week 13 bye. The Vikings will likely lean on the trio of Jordan Addison, K.J. Osborn and slot man Brandon Powell to serve as their main options at receiver versus Chicago.

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 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.
