Bandy did not catch his only target Sunday in a Week 11 loss to Kansas City.

Bandy played at least 58 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps in each of the team's games between Week 7 and Week 10, but he saw just eight snaps (12 percent) Sunday. That was largely due to the return of both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (ankle), though Williams reaggravated his injury in the first half. Even if Williams is forced to miss Week 12, Bandy probably won't be a major contributor with Allen back on the field and Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter seemingly ahead of him on the receiver depth chart.

Dotson caught one of two targets for 13 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Texans.

In Dotson's second game back from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, he was held in check by a Houston secondary without their third overall draft pick in Derek Stingley (hamstring). After a hot start to begin his NFL career, including four scores in his first four games, the 22-year-old has managed just a combined two receptions for 27 yards over Washington's last two contests with Taylor Heinicke under center. However, Dotson has a prime opportunity to turn things around in Week 12 against a vulnerable Falcons secondary.

Samuel caught one of two targets for 10 yards and rushed twice for 18 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Texans.

Samuel's fantasy day was salvaged by a 10-yard rushing score that came early in the second quarter of Sunday's victory in Houston. Otherwise, the versatile 26-year-old has been limited to a combined 14 targets across Washington's last four contests, though he's somewhat made up for the lack of passing-game looks with nine carries in that same stretch. Samuel also played a season-low 40 offensive snaps Sunday, but the Week 12 matchup versus the Falcons contains upside for all Commanders' offensive players.

McKenzie failed to haul in his only target in Sunday's Week 11 win over the Browns in Detroit.

McKenzie played 37 percent of Buffalo's offensive snaps in the contest, his fewest of the campaign. This was his first game in 2022 during which he's failed to record at least one catch, and he also didn't receive a carry for the first time since Week 6. Meanwhile, Khalil Shakir saw a slight uptick by playing 26 percent of the team's offensive snaps, but he also didn't record a catch (and didn't even see a target). For the time being, Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis are the only Bills wide receivers who can be confidently started in most fantasy formats.

The Chargers signed Doss to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Doss was with the Giants during training camp this summer before being waived near the end of August. He joined the Chargers' practice squad in early October and was signed to the active roster before Week 9 due to injuries to both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (ankle). Doss was waived this past Saturday with both Allen and Williams slated to return, but he is now back with the team's practice squad and could get an opportunity to be elevated since Williams aggravated his injury in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. However, Doss has yet to log an offensive snap this season, so he's unlikely to make much of an impact even if he does find his way back to the active roster.

Watson recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 67 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win versus the Chargers.

Watson logged a season-high 57 offensive snaps (88 percent) in this contest, which isn't shocking following the news that JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) would be sidelined for the game and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) also left early and didn't return. If Toney and Smith-Schuster remain sidelined next week, Watson could be worth a look in daily fantasy and some season-long formats.

The Bengals signed Irwin to their active roster off the practice squad Tuesday.

Irwin received his third elevation of the season prior to Cincinnati's Week 11 win over Pittsburgh, and he tallied three catches on four targets for 42 yards and his first career touchdown. He has now been rewarded for his solid play by being signed to the active roster, though his opportunities on offense may decrease if Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is able to return to action in Week 12.

Chark (ankle) was limited in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

With another limited listing on Week 12 injury reports behind him, Chark has one more opportunity to get back to full ahead of Thursday's game against the Bills. Assuming he's able to suit up, he'll be looking to increase his snap share (16 percent) and target count (one) from this past Sunday's win at the Giants. With fellow wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond healthy, though, an active Chark may not see many looks from quarterback Jared Goff.

Reynolds (back) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

After being listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Reynolds got in some work one day later. He followed a similar regimen last week before sitting out Friday, and the Lions eventually downgraded him to out ahead of this past Sunday's win at the Giants. If Reynolds is able to string together back-to-back capped sessions this week, he could be a candidate to return to action Thursday versus the Bills. Ultimately, Wednesday's injury report could give a clearer picture of his upcoming availability (or lack thereof).

Parker (knee) practiced on a limited basis Tuesday.

With another limited listing under his belt during Week 12 prep, Parker has just one more chance to get back to all activity before the Patriots potentially tab him with a designation for Thursday's game at Minnesota. In his first action since Week 8 this past Sunday versus the Jets, he reeled in both of his targets for 19 yards.
