  • Greg Dortch WR | DET

    Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Catches two passes in loss

    Dortch caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Although Jacoby Brissett threw the ball 40 times in the Week 13 loss, Dortch saw minimal usage due to the return of Marvin Harrison. The Wake Forest product has now caught 29 of 33 targets for 206 yards and three touchdowns while also taking seven carries for 15 yards and a score through the Cardinals' first 12 games. He's expected to play a small offensive role and operate as Arizona's top return man in the Week 14 matchup against the Rams.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Could return to practice this week

    Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Evans (collarbone) could begin practicing this week, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Evans is eligible to come off injured reserve at any moment, but it doesn't sound like a return to game action is in the cards for Week 14 against the Saints. Bowles said Monday that both Evans and Jalen McMillan (neck) "have a little ways to go before playing," according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Tampa Bay hosts New Orleans next Sunday before then having a quick Week 15 turnaround ahead of a date with the Falcons on Thursday, Dec. 11. Perhaps a Week 16 return versus Carolina would make the most sense for both wideouts.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Adam Thielen: Cut by Minnesota

    The Vikings waived Thielen on Monday.

    Thielen announced on social media Monday that the 2025 season will be his last in the NFL, and he'd like the opportunity to play for a contender over the final five weeks of the season. Acquired from the Panthers ahead of Week 1, Thielen started three of the first four games of the season while Jordan Addison was suspended, but Thielen's role has continued to shrink ever since. After playing just three offensive snaps Week 12, Thielen was a heathy inactive for Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seahawks. On the year, Thielen has an 8-69-0 line on 18 targets across 11 games. The 35-year-old doesn't appear to have a whole lot left in the tank.

  • 49ers' Kendrick Bourne: First target since Week 10

    Bourne was held without a catch (one target) in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns.

    Bourne was targeted for the first time since Week 10 in Sunday's road victory, but he failed to haul in his only opportunity across 23 snaps played on offense (34 percent). The veteran wideout has been relegated to No. 4 on the depth chart ever since Ricky Pearsall returned from a knee injury Week 11. Bourne should remain a fantasy afterthought when the 49ers return from the upcoming bye week to face the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 14.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | ATL

    Eagles' Jahan Dotson: One catch vs. Chicago

    Dotson caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.

    Dotson tied his season high in targets and recorded the fourth-most receiving yards on the Eagles during Sunday's loss. The 25-year-old has played a minimal role on Philadelphia's offense this season, recording 206 receiving yards and one touchdown on 11 receptions across 12 games. He's likely to operate as the team's No. 3 wide receiver but carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 14 matchup against the Chargers.

  • 49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Logs first carry of 2025

    Robinson failed to secure his only target while gaining six yards on his first carry of the season in Sunday's 26-8 win over Cleveland.

    Robinson was limited to one touch for the third straight week, but it came in unorthodox fashion when he handled an end-around for his first carry as a member of the 49ers. The 30-year-old logged 27 snaps on offense (42 percent), maintaining his status as the team's third wideout behind starters Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Robinson has been unable to generate noteworthy production in his steady role in an explosive offense, resulting in a meager 13-163-0 receiving line heading into San Francisco's Week 14 bye.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Commanders' Treylon Burks: Spectacular TD grab in loss

    Burks caught one of four targets for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.

    With Terry McLaurin not playing full snaps in his return from a quadriceps injury, Burks played 66 percent of the Commanders' offensive snaps against Denver, even though he was also returning from a broken finger. Burks' four targets were still a distant fourth on the team, but he made his lone catch count with a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone. It was Burks' first touchdown catch since Week 13 of his 2022 rookie season with the Titans. With McLaurin and Deebo Samuel healthy, Burks carries minimal fantasy value.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Battles heel injury in Week 13

    Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers that Harrison exited in the second half of the game due to a heel injury and was unable to return, Jess Root of USA Today reports.

    Back in action Sunday after missing the previous two contests while recovering from an appendectomy, Harrison finished with six catches for 69 yards on seven targets while playing 37 of 61 offensive snaps (61 percent). It's not clear when Harrison sustained the heel injury, but he had an insert placed in his shoe at one point during the contest, only to remove it later on. Harrison was then seen limping around on the field in the second half after catching a pass, prompting the Cardinals to pull him from the contest. The second-year wideout will undergo further evaluation, so his status for next Sunday's matchup with the Rams is cloudy for the time being.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Looking iffy for Week 14

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that he doesn't expect to have a clear idea on whether St. Brown (ankle) will be available for Thursday's matchup with the Cowboys until game day, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    St. Brown exited Detroit's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers with a left low-ankle sprain, an injury that, while not overly serious, could put the wideout at risk of missing a game or two. The Lions will post their first Week 14 injury report Monday, which will provide more insight into St. Brown's health as Thursday's game approaches. While St. Brown doesn't necessarily need to practice this week in order to play Thursday, even limited participation at some point would increase his odds of being able to suit up against Dallas.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Targeted once in win

    Noel did not catch his lone target and amassed 106 return yards on two punts and three kickoffs in Sunday's 20-16 win over Indianapolis in Week 13.

    This has been the pattern for three consecutive games, as Noel barely makes a dent on offense but is heavily involved on special teams. The silver lining for his role on offense is that Sunday's target came in the red zone with C.J. Stroud back under center. Noel has caught 20 of 28 targets (including four in the red zone) for 213 yards and one touchdown this season.
