Collins didn't get a target Thursday in a 34-17 win over the Eagles.

The Giants were playing without wideouts Malik Nabers (knee, out for the season) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) on Thursday, so there was some expectation that Collins would be asked to step into a bigger role. Instead, Collins logged only four offensive snaps while practice-squad elevation Lil'Jordan Humphrey worked as New York's No. 2 wideout with a 77 percent snap share. Jalin Hyatt (29 offensive snaps) also was above Collins in the pecking order, and the latter's participation level was his lowest since he played exclusively on special teams Week 2 versus Dallas. With that in mind, Collins doesn't appear to be moving up the Giants' depth chart even given the team's injuries at the wideout position, so he's probably not worth a roster spot in almost all fantasy formats.

Brown (groin) is listed as a limited participant on Friday's practice estimate.

Brown returned to practice Wednesday after missing the past three games. He was listed as a limited participant Thursday, and he'll have another chance to practice Saturday before the Commanders make a decision on his availability for Monday's game against the Bears. Brown may start if he's active, as Terry McLaurin (quad) still hasn't returned to practice.

Hyatt caught three of five targets for 17 yards in Week 6 during Thursday's 34-17 win over Philadelphia.

With Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season and Darius Slayton (hamstring) inactive for Week 6, Hyatt by default was called upon for a bigger role. Hyatt still put up a modest stat line, though he did reel in catches on back-to-back plays during a second-quarter drive that ultimately ended in a touchdown. However, Hyatt was out-snapped by a 53-29 margin by practice-squad elevation Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who finished with a 4-55-0 line on a team-leading eight targets. That's not a good sign of New York's level of faith in Hyatt, who could fade further out of the picture if Slayton is able to return to action Week 7 against Denver.

Samuel (heel) is listed as a limited participant on Friday's practice report.

The Commanders didn't actually practice Friday but estimate that Samuel would've participated if they had. He played through the same injury last week, catching eight of 11 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in a game where no other Commander got more than two targets. Samuel likely will play again Monday against the Bears.

Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

He still hasn't practice since suffering a high-ankle sprain in a Week 3 loss to the Bears. With Lamb and KaVontae Turpin (foot) both ruled out again, the Cowboys figure to deploy George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy as their top three wide receivers.

Mooney (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Mooney made an early exit Week 4 and still isn't ready to practice after a Week 5 bye. Falcons coach Raheem Morris said the wideout is day-to-day, but there's not much cause for optimism as it pertains to Monday's matchup with Buffalo. Casey Washington played 95 percent of Atlanta's snaps when Mooney was inactive back in Week 1, catching three of six targets for 33 yards in a loss to Tampa Bay.

McLaurin (quadriceps) is listed as a non-participant on Friday's practice report.

Friday's report is an estimate, as the Commanders didn't actually practice. If McLaurin doesn't return to practice Saturday, he'll likely be listed as out/doubtful for Monday's game against Chicago.

Raymond (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.

Raymond was limited in practice Thursday and Friday after kicking off Week 6 prep with a DNP. If healthy enough to play Sunday night, Raymond should continue to provide depth at wide receiver while working as Detroit's primary punt returner.

Jennings (ankle/rib) is practicing Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Jennings returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and is now suited up again Friday. Fellow 49ers wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing, nor is QB Brock Purdy (toe).

Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pearsall hasn't practiced this week and isn't likely to play Sunday at Tampa Bay.
