Sims reeled in his lone target for an eight-yard gain during Thursday's 41-16 win over the Cowboys. He added 15 yards on a pair of punt returns.

Sims secured his first touchdown of the 2020 campaign in Week 11 against Cincinnati, but it was a forgettable outing on Thanksgiving for the 23-year-old. He's been back in the lineup for four games after sitting out four contests with a toe injury between Weeks 4 and 7. The Kansas product has accumulated an efficient 10 receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets since his return from IR, as he now sets his sights on a Week 13 matchup against the Steelers' second-ranked pass defense.

Wilson did not garner a target over 12 offensive snaps during Thursday's 41-16 loss to Washington. His lone rush attempt went for a one-yard loss.

Wilson will forever be tied to a dumbfounding coaching decision by Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys special-teams group, as his rush attempt on a fake punt in the fourth quarter failed miserably, turning the tide permanently in Washington's favor. The 25-year-old had posted receptions in consecutive games entering the Thanksgiving matchup, but his offensive contributions have been mostly forgettable since a 107-yard, two-touchdown effort Week 3 against Seattle. Over his past eight outings, Wilson has managed only 11 receptions for 79 yards, adding an 11-yard TD pass to his ledger Week 5 against the Giants.

Reagor caught three of seven targets for 11 receiving yards during Monday's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Reagor has now produced three or more receptions in five consecutive appearances, but 11 yards Monday night constituted a season low for the first-round rookie out of TCU. He has dealt with injury in 2020, missing five games between September and October because of a torn UCL in his right thumb. Even when active, however, Reagor hasn't had the explosive downfield impact Philadelphia hoped he would when selecting him 21st overall. The 21-year-old has established a relatively inefficient catch rate of 57.6 percent while averaging 6.7 yards per target with only one total touchdown for the Eagles' 27th-ranked passing offense.

Taylor had two punt returns for 27 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

Taylor exclusively played special teams during the divisional matchup, which is the first time this season he hasn't seen the field on offense. Even River Cracraft saw a couple offensive snaps during the contest, as Taylor is clearly buried on the depth chart.

Patrick did not reel in either of his targets during Denver's 31-3 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.

Patrick had a nice little groove going coming into Sunday, coming off three straight games with at least four catches and a 119-yard performance against Miami. Obviously, COVID-19 protocols threw a wrench into the works as the Broncos were forced to play undrafted rookie wide receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback. It's hard to take much from a game like that, so attentions should be focused on Drew Lock's return to the lineup for Sunday night's matchup in Kansas City. Patrick tallied three catches for 44 yards against the Chiefs in a Week 7 loss.

The Giants activated Pettis from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Pettis' team debut has been put on hold because of his stint on the reserve list. It appears he'll finally suit up for the Giants in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, a meeting between division leaders. It's unclear how much of an impact Pettis will have on offense with the starting wide receiver jobs locked down by Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and Golden Tate. Pettis could contribute as a returner immediately.

Slayton failed to haul in either of his targets Sunday against the Bengals.

Daniel Jones (hamstring) narrowly missed Slayton on a deep throw just off his fingertips that might have gone for a touchdown had he hung on. Once Jones got hurt, there was little chance for Slayton to make an impact playing with backup Colt McCoy. Slayton has a great matchup Week 13 in Seattle, but if Jones can't go, Slayton makes for a risky start with McCoy under center.

Treadwell signed with the Falcons' active roster Tuesday.

Treadwell was previously on the practice squad COVID-19 list, but he was restored and promoted following news that Olamide Zaccheaus (toe) will go to injured reserve. The 2016 first-round pick never gained his footing in Minnesota, recording a 65-701-2 line over four seasons. The 25-year-old will get a fresh start in Atlanta. He'll likely slot in as the No. 6 receiver to start off.

The Falcons placed Zaccheaus (toe) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Zaccheaus suffered the injury during this past Sunday's win over the Raiders, and he'll be required to miss at least three games while on injured reserve. The 23-year-old speedster has made two starts this season, both when either Julio Jones (hamstring) or Calvin Ridley was sidelined. He's established a 20-274-1 line over 11 games. To add depth during Zaccheaus' absence, the Falcons signed Laquon Treadwell to the active roster.

Moore caught all three of his targets in Monday's 23-17 win over the Eagles, losing a total of six yards but scoring a touchdown.

On a fourth-and-goal at the Eagles' two-yard line, Moore's number was called on a jet sweep but he was immediately stuffed by Derek Barnett for a loss of five yards. He came through later in the first half though, as Russell Wilson found Moore in the end zone for his fifth receiving touchdown of the season, tying his career high. In fact, Moore's on pace to set career bests in every category, but he's not dependable as a fantasy option behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
