Wilson signed with the Panthers' practice squad Wednesday, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.

Wilson played six games with the Buccaneers this season, working as a depth wideout and return man, but fumbling woes led to his departure. The Panthers waived returner Greg Dortch for the same reason Tuesday, but Wilson may get a shot at a fresh start Sunday against the Seahawks if promoted to the active roster.

Parker (concussion) is taking part in non-contact drills during Wednesday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Parker suffered the head injury in the loss to the Jets over the weekend and will need to advance through the league's five-step concussion protocol before returning to game action. It's at least encouraging that the receiver is already taking some form of activity, but his status for Sunday's tilt with the Giants will be up in the air until he's removed from the protocol. With Albert Wilson (concussion) also limited to non-contact work at this stage, Miami's only healthy wideouts to begin the week are Allen Hurns, Isaiah Ford, Mack Hollins and Trevor Davis.

Beckham (groin) is participating in Wednesday's practice on a limited basis, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Beckham acknowledged over the weekend that he may require surgery during the offseason to address what's believed to be a sports hernia, though the wideout is expected to continue playing through the issue. That said, the Browns will likely restrict Beckham's workload in practices the rest of the season, as has already been the case since late November. Beckham has been able to handle full snap loads on game days throughout the campaign, but he no longer looks like the must-start fantasy option he was during his tenure with the Giants. Beckham has scored just two touchdowns this season and hasn't topped 100 receiving yards since Week 6.

Chark (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Chark was spotted in a walking boot after Sunday's 45-10 loss to the Chargers, with coach Doug Marrone stating afterward that the wideout could be either day-to-day or week-to-week. It wasn't the most helpful comment, but Marrone at least seemed to be hinting that the Jaguars still have hope for Chark to play again this season. An absence for Week 15 in Oakland would free up a regular spot for Keelan Cole in three-wide formations, working alongside Chris Conley and Dede Westbrook.

Coach Doug Pederson said Arcega-Whiteside (leg) should be fine to play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.

The rookie missed some snaps in Monday's 23-17 win over the Giants, but he told Marcus Hayes of The Philadelphia Inquirer afterward that his absence was related to nothing more than cramps. Still, Arcega-Whiteside's health is worth monitoring for Week 15, as the latest injury to Alshon Jeffery (foot) could push the rookie into an every-down role. Jeffery is expected to miss the rest of the season, and Nelson Agholor (knee) has been inactive for two of the past three games. Arcega-Whiteside and Greg Ward were the only healthy wide receivers on the roster as of Wednesday.

Godwin is likely to see an increase in his average of 8.7 targets per game with Mike Evans (hamstring) expected to miss the last three contests of the season.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN cited a team source in a Tuesday report that indicates Evans will be sidelined for the Buccaneers' last three games "barring unexpected improvement" in his badly pulled hamstring. Any Evans absence should equate to a bump in workload for Godwin, who was just behind his teammate's team-high pace of 9.1 targets per contest. Godwin has proven efficient with his opportunities -- he owns a solid 71.7 percent catch rate -- so a handful of additional targets in coach Bruce Arians' aggressive passing attack could certainly lead to a nice uptick in production at a critical time of the fantasy season.

Foster was targeted four times during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Baltimore but did not record a catch.

Sunday's four targets marked a season high, but he and Josh Allen were unable to connect as Buffalo's offense was off-kilter for much of the game. Four of Foster's five touches this season have gone for at least 20 yards, highlighting his impressive big-play ability, but he isn't getting many opportunities. It's also worth noting that Isaiah McKenzie, who has been competing with Foster for the No. 3 WR job, finished with three catches on five targets Sunday. Next up is a matchup against Pittsburgh's fifth-ranked pass defense.

Cole caught one of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 45-10 loss to the Chargers.

The depth receiver was held to a single catch for the second consecutive game. Cole had a season-best 80 yards just before the Jags' bye in Week 9, but he's been on a steady decline since with just 82 yards in his last four games. It'll be a big ask to turn things around in short order, but the Jaguars enjoy a favorable matchup Sunday against Oakland's 29th-ranked pass defense.

Pringle caught his only target for a 14-yard gain during Sunday's 23-16 win over New England.

Pringle's reception came on his only offensive snap of the game. The young WR has single-digit or no offensive snaps in five of his last six games and has just two catches for 23 yards during that span. He's a long way from Week 5's six-catch outing and should not be on your fantasy radar -- especially with Patrick Mahomes (hand) dinged up, the rest of the Chiefs' receiving corps healthy and Denver's sixth-ranked pass defense coming to town Sunday.

Arcega-Whiteside caught two of his three targets for 29 yards in Monday night's 23-17 win over the Giants.

Arcega-Whiteside got just one target in the first half, but even as one of only two healthy Eagles wide receivers after Alshon Jeffery missed the game's latter half with a foot injury, the rookie mustered only two more looks. One of them was a 22-yard catch on third-and-4 that set up the game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter, however. Still, despite playing a season-high 80 snaps, the Stanford product finished seventh on the team in targets, behind recent practice-squad additions like Greg Ward and Joshua Perkins.
