  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Not practicing yet

    Bateman (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Bateman, who also didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, thus is trending toward not being available Sunday against the Browns. If that ends up being the case, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace would likely see added WR snaps alongside Zay Flowers this weekend.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Still not practicing

    Slayton (hamstring) won't practice Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    With three straight DNPs this week, Slayton is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Packers, an outcome that could be confirmed later Friday when the Giants post their final Week 11 injury report. If Slayton is sidelined this weekend, Gunner Olszewski, Isaiah Hodgins and current practice-squad member Ray-Ray McCloud would figure to see added snaps alongside WR Wan'Dale Robinson.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Trending in right direction

    Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Shakir (ankle/ribs) "is heading in the right direction and should be in a good spot" for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Shakir was limited at practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but the wide receiver is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 11 action, unlike tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), who won't play this weekend. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Shakir is handed an injury designation or is fully cleared to face Tampa Bay.

  • Patriots' Kyle Williams: Held without a catch Thursday

    Williams, who was on the field for 45 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Thursday's 27-14 win over the Jets, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, did not record a catch in the contest while being targeted three times.

    Williams continued to see added playing time with fellow WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) inactive for the second straight game, but the rookie pass catcher didn't make a statistical impact versus the Jets after having caught one of his two targets for a 72-yard touchdown in this past Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. Looking ahead, Williams remains a speculative fantasy option while working in a New England wide receiver corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas, who combined for 15 catches Thursday.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Three catches versus Jets

    Douglas caught all three of his targets for 36 yards and carried once for minus-5 yards in Thursday's 27-14 win over the Jets.

    With Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) inactive for the second straight contest, Douglas, who logged 19 snaps Thursday, was once again outsnapped by fellow WRs Mack Hollins (57), Stefon Diggs (46) and Kyle Williams (45), per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. In 11 games, Douglas has recorded a receiving line of 23 catches (on 35 targets) for 332 yards and three TDs, a rate of production (while working in an offense that spreads the ball around) that has yielded modest fantasy value thus far.

  • Jets' John Metchie: First TD as member of Jets

    Metchie brought in all three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

    Metchie led the Jets in receiving yards and also recorded his first touchdown as a member of the team, logging a 22-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter on a play where he got wide open down the left side of the field. His yardage total was his highest since a Christmas Day loss to the Ravens last season while still with the Texans, and the fourth-year pro could have an expanded role down the stretch due to Garrett Wilson's current IR stint due to a knee injury.

  • Jets' Adonai Mitchell: One catch in Jets debut

    Mitchell secured one of six targets for 10 yards in the Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

    Mitchell surprisingly led the Jets in targets in his team debut, although he and Justin Fields clearly had trouble connecting. Nevertheless, with Garrett Wilson (IR, knee) now sidelined for at least three more games, Mitchell should have plenty of opportunities to build a rapport with whoever is under center between Fields and Tyrod Taylor for New York over the next several contests.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Solid complementary effort Thursday

    Hollins secured four of five targets for 64 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

    Hollins was a relatively distant runner-up to team leader Stefon Diggs in receiving yards, and he finished tied for third in both receptions and targets. The veteran wideout once again had more opportunity Thursday thanks to the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), and he now has a 10-170-0 line on 15 targets over the latter's pair of absences. Hollins will remain a complementary option in the air attack even if Boutte returns for a Week 12 home matchup against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 23, but his targets would stand to take a hit.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Eclipses century mark in win

    Diggs secured nine of 11 targets for 105 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

    Diggs led the Patriots across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, posting his third 100-yard game of a resurgent season in the process. The veteran wideout recorded a pair of catches of 20-plus yards as well, and his reception tally was his second highest of the campaign. Diggs seemed to benefit from the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) on Thursday, but the former's target volume could take at least a slight hit if the latter is able to return for a favorable Week 12 home matchup against the Bengals.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Full participant Thursday

    Whittington (back) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    The kickoff returner and wide receiver was limited during Wednesday's session. Whittington played through the injury last Sunday against the 49ers, logging seven offensive snaps and 14 special-teams snaps. In 2025, he has 12 catches for 121 yards, along with 109 kickoff-return yards.
