Irwin secured three of five targets for 36 yards in the Bengals' 34-20 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Irwin finished second in receiving yards and tied for third in receptions and targets on the night for the Bengals as he once again enjoyed an elevated role during Tee Higgins' (hamstring) second straight absence. The veteran wideout has a 5-90-1 line over that pair of contests, but he could be back to a No. 4 role if Higgins is ready to return by a Week 12 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 26.

Boyd brought in three of six targets for 22 yards in the Bengals' 34-20 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Despite the fact Tee Higgins (hamstring) missed a second straight game, Boyd couldn't come close to replicating the 117-yard performance he posted against the Texans in Week 10 during his teammate's first absence. Outside of Boyd's stellar output in that contest, he's had a quiet season, and he's now recorded a modest three receptions in three of the past four games. Boyd could return to his usual No. 3 receiver role in a Week 12 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 26, a game in which Higgins has a chance to be available for given the extra recovery time afforded.

Flowers brought in three of four targets for 43 yards and rushed once for seven yards in the Ravens' 34-20 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.

Flowers finished a distant second in receiving yards to Odell Beckham (shoulder) and was the runner-up to his teammate in receptions and targets as well. The rookie speedster gained the majority of his production on a 33-yard grab, but he's now been under 50 receiving yards in three of the past four games. However, Flowers could be one of the Ravens pass catchers to benefit during the rest of the campaign from the apparent season-ending ankle injury suffered by Mark Andrews in the first quarter of Thursday's contest.

Beckham (shoulder) avoided a serious injury in Thursday's 34-20 win over the Bengals, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Beckham suffered the injury in the final moments of the game, landing hard on a tackle following a long gain. He ended the contest with four receptions for 116 yards, his best production as a Raven. It appears Beckham will have the chance to play in Week 12 against the Chargers, particularly given that he has a few extra days to recover.

Chase secured two of seven targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 34-20 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Even with Tee Higgins (hamstring) sidelined for a second straight contest and Chase leading the team in targets, the star receiver's production was at a season-low point. Chase managed to salvage his fantasy night to an extent via a two-yard touchdown grab with 1:08 remaining that was exponentially more meaningful from a fantasy perspective than in the context of the game itself. With Joe Burrow having suffered a wrist injury of unknown severity Thursday night as well, Chase could have an uphill battle to get back to his usual numbers in a Week 12 home divisional clash against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 26.

Beckham is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Bengals due to a shoulder injury, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Beckham made a long catch late in the fourth quarter and suffered the injury on a hard tackle. With the Ravens in a comfortable position to earn the win, it's unlikely Beckham will retake the field after posting four receptions for 116 yards. The severity of the issue is unclear, though he'll have a long week to recover before Baltimore's Week 12 matchup against the Chargers.

Nacua (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Nacua emerged from the Rams' Week 8 loss in Dallas with some swelling in his knee, but he was able to suit up in the team's last game Week 9 at Green Bay, where he hauled in three of seven targets for 32 yards. He'll be welcoming back quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) for the first time since Week 8, so Nacua may be poised for a rebound Sunday against a Seahawks defense that has surrendered the 11th-most catches (127) and 12th-most touchdowns (nine) to opposing wide receivers in nine games this season.

Young (abdomen) did not practice Thursday after being a full participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The wide receiver came down with the abdominal issue after last Sunday's win over the Commanders. Young spent the first eight games of the season on injured reserve with a groin injury. The second-year pro played two offensive snaps last week and was not targeted.

Lockett (hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

During his five-week stretch dealing with a hamstring issue, Lockett previously sat out the first two sessions of Week 8 prep before capping it with a full practice and a questionable designation ahead of game day. This week, he also has yet to practice, so he may be destined for a similar fate. Friday's injury report will unveil his potential to suit up for Sunday's road game against the Rams.

Allen said Thursday that he's tending to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder but intends to play Sunday at Green Bay, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Allen missed some time in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Lions due to a shoulder injury, but the only intel noted in its wake was a quote from coach Brandon Staley on Monday that the wide receiver was "day-to-day," per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. With the diagnosis seemingly clarified, Allen noted Thursday, "I'll be out there again," regarding his availability for Week 11. He also was seen adjusting medical tape and pressure plate on his left shoulder at the same time, which so far has contained him to one limited session (Thursday) this week. As a result, Allen seems like a decent bet to enter the weekend with a designation, which will be confirmed, one way or another, when the Chargers post their final injury report Friday.
