Raymond caught three of four targets for 16 yards during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.

Raymond again did little with the opportunities he saw. Meanwhile, Josh Reynolds -- who caught three passes for 70 yards and a score -- continues to rise to the top of the depth chart. Considering Raymond was hardly a fantasy option when he was the Lions' No. 1 receiver, his floor will probably get even lower if Reynolds continues on as Jared Goff's top option.

Reynolds caught three of five targets for 70 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.

Reynolds started the month as a healthy scratch in Tennessee but has finished it as arguably Detroit's No. 1 wide receiver. While his upside figures to be capped as long as Jared Goff is throwing him passes, Reynolds at least seems to have a strong rapport with the former No. 1 overall pick thanks to the four years they spent together in Los Angeles. Should he continue to handle a large market share within Detroit's receiving corps going forward, it's possible that Reynolds could become a respectable fantasy contributor down the stretch.

Peoples-Jones (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

After missing practice Wednesday, Peoples-Jones' upgrade to limited participation is a positive indicator with regard to his chances of returning to action Sunday night against the Ravens. Unless he logs a full session Friday, however, Peoples-Jones seems destined to head into the weekend carrying a Week 12 injury designation.

Samuel (groin) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.

After Wednesday's unofficial on-field work, coach Ron Rivera relayed to Matthew Paras of The Washington Times that Samuel practiced "pretty well" and would have been a limited participant if Washington was required to post a practice report. Now that the Football Team has done so, Samuel has upheld Rivera's statement, but it remains to be seen if he'll be given clearance to suit up Monday against the Seahawks, which would mark his first game action since Week 5.

Brown (chest) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Brown -- who left this past Sunday's game with a chest injury and did not return -- now having logged back-to-back 'DNP' listings, what the wideout is able to do at practice Friday will be telling with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Patriots. Given that Julio Jones and Marcus Johnson are both on IR with hamstring injuries, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers and Dez Fitzpatrick currently profile as the Titans' top healthy wide receiver options.

Mooney caught five of eight targets for 123 yards in a 16-14 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving.

With Allen Robinson (hamstring) out for a second straight game and Marquise Goodwin (foot) exiting early Thursday, Mooney was left as Andy Dalton's only reliable option at wideout, and the second-year speedster took full advantage by topping 120 yards for the second straight game and the third time this season. He could have trouble keeping that streak going in Week 13, however. In addition to a tough matchup against the Cardinals and the potential return of Robinson cutting into his opportunities, rookie Justin Fields (ribs) could be back under center in place of Andy Dalton, increasing the volatility of the entire Chicago passing game.

Lazard (shoulder) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lazard has opened Week 12 prep with back-to-back 'limited' listings after sitting out this past Sunday at Minnesota due to a shoulder injury. Friday's practice report may be telling for Lazard's ability to get back on the field Sunday against the Rams.

Schwartz (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Although Schwartz is reportedly progressing through the league's concussion protocol, he has been listed as a non-participant for two consecutive days to begin the week. If he hopes to play Sunday against the Ravens, he'll presumably need to practice in some capacity Friday.

Davis (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Davis was listed as limited Wednesday after appearing to be shaken up during individual drills, so Thursday's downgrade clouds the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Texans. What Davis is able to do Friday thus will be pivotal with regard to his Week 12 status. If he's out or limited this weekend, added looks would be available for the likes of Elijah Moore, Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole and Braxton Berrios.

Adams (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

After dealing with a shoulder issue in practice last week, Adams opened Week 12 with a cap on his reps due to an ankle injury, which clearly wasn't serious after he managed all activity Thursday. When he last faced Sunday's opponent, the Rams, Adams hauled in nine of 10 targets for 66 yards and one touchdown in the divisional round back in January.
