Anderson (ankle) was spotted on the field with a helmet at Friday's practice, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Anderson was held out of practice Wednesday but was able to get some limited work in the following day. He appears set to at least replicate that activity level Friday, if not step things up a notch. That bodes well for his chances of playing in Week 13 against the Titans, but his official status won't be revealed until after practice concludes.

Gallup brought in five of seven targets for 76 yards in the Cowboys' 13-10 win over the Saints on Thursday.

Gallup's receiving yardage total not only led the Cowboys on the night, but it also served as a career-best figure for the rookie. Gallup did most of his damage in the first half, with a 40-yard reception on the first drive of the game that brought the ball to the Saints' six-yard line serving as the high point. Gallup's production continues to be hard to trust on a game-to-game basis, but the Colorado State product will look to build on this performance in a pivotal Week 14 divisional showdown against the Eagles on Dec. 9.

Thomas brought in five of eight targets for 40 yards in the Saints' 13-10 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday. He also recovered a fumble.

Thomas may have led the Saints in receiving yardage, but it was his second straight game with less than 50. The third-year wideout was a victim of a Cowboys' suffocating pass defense that limited Drew Brees to a season-low 4.5 yards per attempt. Thomas also failed to find the end zone for the second straight game after compiling four touchdowns over the prior trio of contests. Having mustered a modest 60 yards per game through the air over the four contests since his 211-yard explosion against the Rams on Nov. 4, Thomas will look to reclaim some of his fantasy luster against the Buccaneers in a Week 14 tilt on Dec. 9.

Cooper brought in all eight of his targets for 75 yards and lost a fumble in the Cowboys' 13-10 win over the Saints on Thursday.

The Cooper-Dak Prescott connection is legitimate, as the receiver has now brought in 16 of 17 targets over the last pair of contests. It was a second straight eight-catch effort for Cooper, who equaled his second-highest yardage total since arriving in Dallas via trade from the Raiders. The 24-year-old did lose the ball after a five-yard catch early in the second quarter, but his performance otherwise continued to validate the team's decision to pay a hefty sum for him. Cooper will look to continue thriving against the Eagles in a key Week 14 divisional battle on Dec. 9.

Goodwin was absent from practice Thursday, but the wide receiver met with the 49ers, likely regarding his personal matter, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The matter first emerged on Monday, Nov. 19, but Goodwin was back with the team in time to log every practice rep in advance of Week 12. However, the team downgraded him to doubtful Saturday before deeming him inactive this past Sunday at Tampa Bay, again due to the personal issue. Although he remains away from practice, the fact he had a meeting with team officials could mean a return is imminent. Friday's injury report may shed some light on his potential to play Week 13 in Seattle.

Marshall (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday at Dallas, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

A healthy scratch for a third consecutive game, Marshall again will don street clothes instead of pads as a member of the Saints. It remains to be seen the scenario in which he'll be given a shot to play, but with Tre'Quan Smith back from a one-game absence, Marshall's services are needed less than they were on Thanksgiving against the Falcons, when he also was inactive.

Crowder (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

On the field for a second straight day, Crowder performed cuts while running routes Thursday, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. The pain in Crowder's ankle is more manageable than previous weeks, but as the wide receiver told the Redskins' official site, he's "taking it day by day right now." Whenever he gains clearance to return, Crowder, who primarily plays the slot, could move about the formation more with rookie slot receiver Trey Quinn (ankle) back from IR the last two games. The preceding could impact Crowder's target count, which rang in at 6.5 per game in 31 contests between 2016 and 2017.

The Seahawks signed Reynolds to their practice squad Thursday.

As expected, Reynolds has reverted to Seattle's practice squad after having been waived by the team earlier this week. The 30-year-old wideout has spent the season bouncing between Seattle's practice squad and active roster, but he's only been active for three games and did not see a single target during that time. Even if Reynolds rejoins the 53-man roster at some point in 2018, he's unlikely to carry any fantasy value.

Cobb (hamstring) believes he'll be available to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "I'm excited to get back out there because I know with all the noise that's been said over the past week about [quarterback Aaron Rodgers], he's getting ready to light everybody up this week," Cobb said. "It's going to be a lot of fun and I look forward to helping him out."

Cobb has made just five appearances this season, with the hamstring issue keeping him sidelined for six of the Packers' last eight games, including three in a row. Though he's still only practicing on a limited basis, he noted that he has felt no issues with the hamstring while working out for the past few days. If Cobb gains clearance to play this weekend, it's possible the Packers will restrict his snap count and ease him back into the mix at receiver, rendering him a shaky option for fantasy lineups.

Coutee (hamstring) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

During Monday's 34-17 win over the Titans, Coutee aggravated the hamstring injury that has already cost him five games this season. Though the recurring nature of the injury is somewhat troubling, coach Bill O'Brien expressed optimism the wideout would be good to go for the team's Week 13 tilt with the Browns. Coutee's involvement for the first two days of practice is an encouraging sign, but he seems likely to carry a designation into the weekend if he fails to log a full session Friday.
