Waddle secured five of 10 targets for 85 yards in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.

After the Dolphins jumped out to a 30-0 halftime lead, Miami's offensive starters all eventually made an early exit from the contest. However, Waddle drew even with position mate Tyreek Hill for the team lead in receiving yards, checked in second in receptions to his fellow speedster and paced the Dolphins in targets. Waddle has no fewer than 66 receiving yards in any game since Week 5, a streak he'll try to extend in a Week 13 road showdown against the 49ers.

Hill (undisclosed) brought in six of nine targets for 85 yards and rushed once for five yards in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday. He left the game in the second half due to cramping, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald.

Hill put together an efficient performance prior to his early exit, helping the Dolphins jump out to a 30-0 lead by halftime with a team-high catch total and co-team-best receiving yardage tally as well. The speedster's cramping issues shouldn't be a long-term concern, and he'll figure to play an integral role in a Week 13 road showdown against the 49ers after eclipsing the 70-yard mark for the fifth time in the last six games Sunday.

Hill exited Sunday's game against the Texans due to cramping, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Prior to his departure from the contest, Hill caught six of his nine targets for 85 yards and carried once for five yards. In his absence, River Cracraft, Trent Sherfield and Cedrick Wilson are available to handle added WR snaps alongside Jaylen Waddle.

Robinson (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday in Kansas City, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

After just one game serving as the Rams' No. 1 wide receiver with Cooper Kupp sidelined due to a high-ankle sprain, Robinson will sit out himself with an ankle issue that limited him during Week 12 prep. With quarterback Matthew Stafford (concussion protocol/neck) out indefinitely, coach Sean McVay is going with Bryce Perkins under center instead of John Wolford (neck), who is active in case of emergency. Perkins thus will have Van Jefferson, Tyler Higbee (knee) and Ben Skowronek, among others, as his top available pass catchers. Robinson's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 4 against the Seahawks.

Callaway (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the 49ers.

Callaway was also a healthy scratch Week 10, and although he suited up Week 11 against the Rams, he only saw one target, which he caught for a six-yard gain. He'll now work to be active Week 13 against the Buccaneers.

Samuel (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 12 clash against the Saints, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official site reports.

News had been trending upward on Samuel entering the weekend, with one report indicating he'd looked back to normal Friday after dealing with a hamstring issue Wednesday and Thursday. With his active status now confirmed, he'll assume his usual diverse role in a talent-rich 49ers offense against New Orleans.

Mooney left Sunday's game at the Jets with an apparent leg injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

On the first play of the Bears' second drive of the third quarter, Mooney stayed on the turf for a spell as he was tended to by team trainers. He then wasn't able to put any weight on his left leg as he was assisted to the locker room. The nature of the issue is unknown, but Chicago may have to go with Equanimeous St. Brown, Chase Claypool, Dante Pettis, Byron Pringle and Velus Jones at wide receiver for the rest of Week 12.

Hart (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Raiders.

Hart has played a limited role this season and will now find himself sidelined Week 12. Instead, Laquon Treadwell will find himself active against Las Vegas after being elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

Dortch (thumb) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Chargers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

In the wake of his 103-yard performance last Monday against the 49ers, Dortch was revealed to be dealing with a thumb injury, but surgery was ruled out, and he was considered day-to-day by coach Kliff Kingsbury. Dortch proceeded to miss every Week 12 practice and entered the weekend as a game-time call, but a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN late Saturday noted he was unlikely to play. Indeed, that has come to pass, meaning the Cardinals will go with DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Robbie Anderson, Andre Baccellia and Pharoh Cooper at wide receiver Sunday with Rondale Moore (groin) also unavailable.

Shakir (illness) won't practice Sunday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Shakir will be absent for the start of the Bills' work week as they prepare to play the Patriots on Thursday. The rookie receiver has seen his role increase as Jamison Crowder and Jake Kumerow continue to miss time due to ankle injuries. Shakir most recently played 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps Thanksgiving, but he failed to see any targets, and he hasn't recorded a catch since Week 10 against the Vikings, then Week 6 against the Chiefs before that. He'll continue working to grab a larger target share Thursday against the New England, if he can recover in time to play.
