Hodge secured both of his targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Hodge's 25-yard touchdown grab came with just under three minutes left in the game, bringing the Falcons within one score of the Panthers. The wideout's touchdown was his first of the season, and he now has 11 catches for 184 yards over the first 10 games. As Atlanta's No. 4 receiver, Hodge played just eight of the team's 63 offensive snaps. His efficiency Thursday is not sustainable, so the veteran's limited opportunities make him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Hodge and the Falcons will host the Bears in Week 11.

Dotson (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

After Dotson was a limited participant Thursday in his first recorded practice activity since Oct. 20, he took another step forward by taking every rep Friday. He thus looks on track to play in Monday's game against the Eagles after missing the Commanders' last five games with a hamstring strain and a related setback. Dotson should step back into a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel on Monday, though the rookie first-round selection may not immediately reclaim the typical 85-plus-percent snap share he enjoyed in the first three weeks of the season.

Byrd secured three of four targets for 58 yards in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Byrd's modest production Thursday was a bounce-back performance after going catchless in Week 9. With that said, the veteran wideout has totaled just seven grabs for 200 yards and two touchdowns through seven games played. As the Falcons' No. 3 wideout in a struggling passing attack, Byrd is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 29-year-old will look to take a step forward when the Falcons host the Bears in Week 11.

Evans (ribs/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Munich.

Even though Evans' practice reps were limited throughout the week, neither of his injuries were deemed significant enough to prevent him from taking the field in Germany. Evans hasn't found the end zone since Week 4, but he's seen a steady stream of volume in the passing game over the Buccaneers' subsequent five games. During that stretch, he's averaging 5.6 receptions for 76.4 yards on 9.8 targets per contest.

Goodwin (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers in Munich after practicing fully Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

After being listed as a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday due to the groin issue, Goodwin advanced to full activity Friday, but it wasn't quite enough for him to avoid taking a designation into the weekend. Despite the questionable tag, Goodwin doesn't appear at much risk of sitting out Week 10, as head coach Pete Carroll said he's "anticipating" that the wideout returns from a one-game absence to suit up against Tampa Bay, according to Boyle. If active this weekend, Goodwin will serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 wideout behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Hardman (abdomen) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Hardman missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, so he's looking iffy for Sunday's game against the Jaguars at this stage. If he ends up being unavailable this weekend, added wideout snaps would be available for Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore and Justin Watson.

Zaccheaus caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Zaccheaus hauled in just two catches for the second straight game as his mostly underwhelming season continued Thursday. As long as Marcus Mariota and the Falcons' passing attack continue to struggle, it'll be difficult for the veteran wideout to reach consistent and fantasy-relevant production from week to week. Zaccheaus is not an option worth trusting in lineups when the Falcons host the Bears in Week 11.

Reynolds (back) won't practice Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Reynolds will be re-evaluated Saturday, but considering that the wideout has missed three straight practices, he seems to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game. If Reynolds isn't available, Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy will stand to see increased opportunities behind Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Marshall brought in one of two targets for 43 yards in the Panthers' 25-15 win over the Falcons on Thursday night.

Marshall led the Panthers in receiving yards despite making just one catch, which came on a late third-quarter drive that culminated in a 12-yard touchdown run for D'Onta Foreman. The second-year wideout's increased role over the last four games is encouraging, as he's posted 214 receiving yards and a touchdown on 10 catches in that span. Marshall's next opportunity to continue strengthening his grip on the No. 2 receiver role will come against the Ravens in a Week 11 road matchup a week from Sunday.

London brought in five of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 25-15 loss to the Panthers on Thursday night.

The rookie found the end zone for the first time since Week 3 on a tough seven-yard grab between two defenders just past the midway point of the third quarter. London still couldn't clear the 40-yard mark, however, making it four consecutive games for the first-round selection under that modest threshold. London's upside is likely to be capped as long as Marcus Mariota remains in a starting role, but he'll hope to boost his numbers in a Week 11 matchup at home a week from Sunday against the inconsistent Bears defense.
