Duvernay had two catches for 21 yards on three targets Sunday against Pittsburgh.

The second-year man also had an eight-yard rush wiped out by a penalty. Duvernay played the second-most snaps among Baltimore receivers, out-snapping Sammy Watkins and Rashod Bateman by 10 and 11 snaps, respectively. Still, he only saw three targets, which ranked fifth on the team. Duvernay continues to see consistent playing time, but his target volume tends to stay below five most weeks. Baltimore travels to Cleveland in Week 14.

Thielen (ankle) didn't participate in the open portion of Tuesday's practice and is expected to be sidelined for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

While the Vikings haven't officially ruled Thielen out for Week 14, head coach Mike Zimmer told Tomasson prior to practice that the wideout would only return from his high-ankle sprain at some point this season. The fact that Zimmer is talking about Thielen's status in that manner implies that he's unlikely to suit up Thursday, so expect the receiver to officially receive the "out" tag at the conclusion of Wednesday's practice. His projected absence should clear the way for K.J. Osborn and Dede Westbrook to handle more reps alongside No. 1 receiver Justin Jefferson.

Palmer failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

Palmer saw a slip in snap time as Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton took charge. The rookie's lone target was simply a dropped deep pass which slipped off his hands and somehow landed in the cornerback's arm for Justin Herbert's lone interception. In the previous five games, the fourth-string wide receiver had at least one catch with 17-plus yards, but with a significant lead for most of the afternoon Palmer wasn't needed. Facing the Giants in the upcoming week, the rookie might have an impact with Keenan Allen placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Hardman saw the field for just nine offensive snaps and caught his only target for 12 yards Sunday against the Broncos.

Hardman has seen his playing time shrink to a new low over the past two games, as he's played a total of 20 offensive snaps between the two. This doesn't bode well for the once-promising young wideout, who has been unable to follow up his 2019 rookie season with the breakout campaign many were hoping to see. Hardman seems to be nothing more than a potential stash in dynasty at this point with hopes of a future turnaround.

Robinson reeled in both of his two targets for 21 yards Sunday against the Broncos.

Robinson has just two catches total to his name over the team's past two contests, but he did see a minor resurgence in his playing time Sunday, likely due to his abilities as a blocker in the run game. He can't be counted on to deliver fantasy-worthy outings at this point.

Agholor failed to secure his only target during Monday's 14-10 win over the Bills. He had one carry for six yards.

Agholor saw few opportunities during Monday's abnormally windy contest, which saw Mac Jones attempt just three passes while New England logged a total of 46 rush attempts. After taking a Week 14 bye, the Patriots' offense stands to return to a degree of normalcy during a road matchup against the Colts.

Bourne was not targeted during Monday's 14-10 win over the Bills. He did have one carry for three yards.

Bourne posted a two-touchdown, 61-yard performance against the Titans prior to being shut out against Buffalo, a game which was played in extremely windy conditions and saw the Patriots offense lean on its running game almost every snap. In fact, quarterback Mac Jones attempted just three passes in the divisional win. After the team's Week 14 bye, Bourne will get a chance to bounce back on the road in Indianapolis.

Hollins caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown during Sunday's win over the Giants.

Hollins made the most of his only offensive opportunity Week 13, and he's only seen six targets in his last four appearances. That said, the Dolphins have shown a willingness to deploy Hollins on designed plays in the red zone, which gives him a small niche in especially deep fantasy formats.

Ford secured his only target for a two-yard touchdown during Sunday's win over the Giants.

Ford rewarded anyone brave enough to rely on him for fantasy purposes with a touchdown Week 13, but in the vast majority of formats, he remains off the radar entirely. Through nine games this season, Ford only has eight catches for 110 yards and two scores on 12 targets.

Patrick caught one of five targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

Patrick struggled to get anything going against Kansas City, which is not surprising as the No. 3 wideout in a below average passing offense. He did, however, play the second-most offensive snaps of any Denver wide receiver. Patrick's 67 snaps were just one behind Courtland Sutton, but 11 snaps ahead of Jerry Jeudy. Even with his high snap percentage, Patrick is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes barring an injury to either Sutton or Jeudy. The Broncos will face the Lions in Week 14.
