Sims played nine snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

For the first time since Week 4, Sims failed to draw a look in the passing game. With all of Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel and Dyami Brown available to the Commanders, Sims' opportunities to contribute at receiver will likely be few and far between over the final six weeks of the season.

Pascal went without a target while playing eight of the Eagles' 79 snaps on offense in Sunday's 40-33 win over the Packers.

Pascal's 10 percent snap share marked a notable downturn from Week 11, when he played 43 percent of the snaps in a win over the Colts. The Eagles handed most of Pascal's playing time to Quez Watkins (84 percent share), who operated as the team's clear No. 3 receiver after splitting the role with Pascal in Week 11.

Perriman failed to haul in his lone target while playing eight of the Buccaneers' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns.

Even with Russell Gage (hamstring) missing his fourth game in a row, both Perriman and Scotty Miller (two snaps) were afterthoughts on offense, while Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones formed Tampa Bay's regular receiver trio. If Gage makes it back for the Buccaneers' Week 13 game against the Saints, one or both of Perriman and Miller could find himself on the inactive list.

Miller went without a target while playing two of the Buccaneers' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns.

Russell Gage (hamstring) was inactive for the fourth straight game due to injury, but since all of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones have been available during that stretch, Miller hasn't been able to carve out much of a role on offense. Whenever Gage is cleared to return to game action, Miller and/or Breshad Perriman could end up being healthy inactives.

Parker (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice.

Parker was listed as a limited participant on the Patriots' initial Week 13 injury report Monday, but the team provided no indication that the receiver was dealing with any setbacks in his recovery from the knee issue that kept him from playing Week 9 against the Colts. Following a Week 10 bye, Parker has proceeded to play 37 and 85 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense in the ensuing two games. After recording four receptions for 80 yards in the Patriots' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Vikings and now upgrading to full activity at Tuesday's practice, Parker looks poised to handle another big snap share in Thursday's game against the Bills.

Meyers (shoulder) remained a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.

Though Meyers played a season-low 16 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense in last week's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Vikings due to a sore shoulder, the receiver said after the game that he didn't think the issue would otherwise affect his availability. He has been listed as limited on the Patriots' first two Week 13 injury reports, but he said Tuesday that his shoulder is feeling "a lot better," according to Zack Cox of NESN.com. Meyers reiterated that he will suit up Thursday against the Bills, though the chances of his workload being limited again won't become clear until after the Patriots complete their final practice of the week Wednesday.

Shakir (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Shakir was sidelined for the first practice of Week 13 prep due to an illness, but he was a full participant during Tuesday's session and should be full go Thursday against New England. The rookie fifth-round pick has caught just one of four targets across his past five appearances.

Chicago placed Mooney (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

The move comes as little surprise after Bears head coach Matt Eberflus revealed Monday that Mooney would require season-ending surgery to address the right ankle injury he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Jets. The third-year player finishes the season with 40 receptions for 493 yards and two touchdowns across 61 targets in 10 games. The Bears are left with Chase Claypool, Equanimeous St. Brown, Dante Pettis, Byron Pringle, Velus Jones and N'Keal Harry as their healthy options at receiver.

Watson gathered in all two targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 26-10 win against the Rams.

Watson has seen the largest uptick in his snap count over the last three weeks with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) either sidelined or limited, while rookie Skyy Moore has also enjoyed an increased snap count. Once Smith-Schuster is back in full, the pair could see their workloads reduced a bit, though Hardman's continued absence should open the door for additional snaps. Even so, Watson hasn't reeled in more than three passes in a game this season, so he's not on the fantasy radar in most formats.

Smith-Schuster hauled in all three of his targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 26-10 victory over the Rams.

Smith-Schuster has a total of just five catches over his last two games after reeling in at least five in each of the previous three games. Patrick Mahomes spread the love against the Rams, completing at least two passes to eight different players. Smith-Schuster also logged fewer than 30 offensive snaps in this one, only the second time this season that's happened. However, his return from a concussion and a comfortable Kansas City lead may have contributed to the unusually low workload. Smith-Schuster should remain in many fantasy lineups in Week 13, though he faces a Bengals defense that's been stingy against wide receivers this year, ranking in the top five in per-game fantasy points allowed to the position.
