  • Mason Kinsey WR | TEN

    Titans' Mason Kinsey: Not playing Sunday

    Kinsey (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.

    The wide receiver has been active for five games this season, and he's played mostly on special teams when he's been in there, though he did get some opportunities on offense the last two weeks with Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) nursing injuries. At the same time, Kinsey has never made more than two catches in a season in a pro career dating back to 2021.

  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: Not playing Week 13

    Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Smith is a healthy scratch for the first time this season. He consistently logged significant offensive snap counts earlier in the season but has seen his playing time wane since New York traded for wideouts John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell. Given Smith's lack of production this season (six catches on 10 targets for 47 yards over 331 offensive snaps spanning 11 games), he may be getting phased out of New York's plans for game days.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Another week as healthy scratch

    Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Rams, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Renfrow appears to be the odd man out in Carolina's WR room, as he's now been a healthy scratch seven straight weeks. The rest of the Panthers' wideout corps is healthy (aside from David Moore [elbow], who is on IR), so Renfrow may continue to sit on game days unless an injury occurs to a player further up the pecking order.

  • 49ers' Jordan Watkins: Healthy scratch Sunday

    Watkins (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Browns, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

    The wide receiver and punt returner will be a healthy scratch for the third consecutive week. That stretch has coincided with the return of Ricky Pearsall in Week 11. Watkins also remains behind Skyy Moore on the team's punt returner depth chart.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Surprise scratch

    Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Brown has faded from relevance in the Jacksonville offense, recording one or fewer targets in three straight games. However, in a surprising move, Brown is now the odd man out with Brian Thomas active for the first time since Week 9. Austin Trammell will serve as the Jaguars' fifth wide receiver.

  • Jamari Thrash WR | CLE

    Browns' Jamari Thrash: Inactive despite injury clearance

    Thrash (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 battle against San Francisco.

    Thrash's inactive status last week was attributed to a foot injury, and he continued to deal with the issue in practice this week. However, he wasn't given an injury designation for Sunday's matchup, suggesting that he's past the issue. However, Thrash isn't going to suit up against the 49ers, marking the second time he's been a healthy scratch over the past three weeks. It appears the second-year wideout is the odd man out in the Browns WR pecking order despite logging at least a 40 percent offensive snap share in every game from Week 4 to Week 8.

  • Khadarel Hodge WR | ATL

    Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Healthy scratch for Week 13

    Hodge (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Though top wideout Drake London (knee) will miss a second straight game, Hodge won't be among Atlanta's five active receivers for Week 13. Hodge had suited up for each of the Falcons' last seven games but held a minimal role on offense, playing single-digit snaps in six of those contests while accruing a 3-31-0 receiving line on nine targets.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Set to face Atlanta

    Lazard (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Lazard popped up on the injury report Saturday after practicing without issue earlier in the week. He'll be active for the second consecutive week, though he has yet to see more than three targets in any game this season.

  • Texans' Braxton Berrios: Remaining healthy scratch

    Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 clash against the Colts.

    This is the third straight week that Berrios is inactive as a healthy scratch. He's gotten some work both as a wideout and kick/punt returner when active this season, but rookie Jaylin Noel has been serving in the same role while offering more upside.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Getting Harrison back in WR mix

    Wilson will have additional competition for WR reps during Sunday's game in Tampa Bay with Marvin Harrison (appendix) active and back in the lineup.

    Wilson has been a monster for fantasy purposes during Harrison's two-game absence after the latter underwent an appendectomy, putting together a 25-303-0 line on 33 targets during that stretch. Prior to his run as the Cardinals' No. 1 WR, Wilson had a 22-231-1 line on 38 targets in the first nine contests of the campaign, so the presence of Harrison likely means he'll settle somewhere between those workloads Sunday. Having said that, the Buccaneers defense has been giving up chunk plays to wide receivers over the last two weeks, conceding 16.2 yards per catch, 9.8 yards per target and three TD receptions, so Wilson still is a good bet to produce, especially if Harrison isn't operating at 100 percent.
