Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Questionable for Sunday night game
Head coach Sean McDermott relayed Friday that Coleman (wrist) will be listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the 49ers, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
With regard to Coleman -- who has missed Buffalo's last two games and has been limited in practice this week -- McDermott noted that he's taking it one day at a time with the wideout. Given the team's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, ideally added context regarding Coleman's status will arrive prior to the first wave of Week 13 Sunday games, but if he's limited or out versus San Francisco, added snaps alongside Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakirwould be available for Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Misses end of game with shoulder injury
Lamb dealt with a shoulder injury during Thursday's win over the Giants and didn't play in the fourth quarter, dallascowboys.com reports.
Lamb took 97 percent of snaps in the first half, dropping to 60 percent in the third quarter and none at all in the fourth. The Cowboys listed him on their Week 13 injury report with back and foot injuries, neither of which was serious enough to warrant a game designation. Lamb went down clutching his right shoulder after a hard fall in the second half Thursday afternoon, less than a month after suffering an AC joint injury in the same shoulder during a loss to the Falcons on Nov. 3. He'll at least have extra time to prepare for his next game, with the Cowboys coming off a Thanksgiving matchup and now hosting the Bengals on Monday (Dec. 9) in Week 14.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Makes long catch
Watson recorded two receptions on four targets for 67 yards in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins.
Watson delivered a pair of big plays for the Packers, redeeming himself after a disappointing drop on a long target in Week 12. His first catch went for 21 yards just before halftime to help set up a Packers score, and he later chipped in a 46-yard reception to account for the team's second-longest play from scrimmage. Watson remains a big-play threat, but a risky fantasy option. Even after this decent performance, he's failed to reach 50 receiving yards in all but four of 11 matchups on the campaign.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Sees downturn in Thursday's loss
Waddle brought in all four targets for 53 yards in the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.
Four days after furnishing a season-best 8-144-1 line against the Patriots, Waddle came back down to earth but still turned in a serviceable performance. Waddle also managed to generate a scoring catch for the second straight game when he brought in a two-point conversion pass following De'Von Achane's third-quarter touchdown reception. The 2021 first-round pick now has at least four catches in five of the last six games, affording him a solid floor heading into a Week 14 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Brandin Cooks WR | BUF
Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Scores key TD in return to action
Cooks hauled in three of seven targets for 16 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 27-20 win against the Giants.
In his first game action since Week 4, Cooks didn't seem to be on the same page with QB Cooper Rush for large portions of this Week 13 divisional clash, but the two eventually connected for a two-yard touchdown on the Cowboys' first possession of the second half to extend the lead to 20-10. And with Dallas clinging to a 27-20 score at the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter, they again hooked up for a three-yard gain on third-and-2 to effectively salt the game away. Cooks will aim for an improved rapport with Rush when the team next takes the field Monday, Dec. 9 versus the Bengals.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Grabs fluky TD in loss
Hill brought in six of nine targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday.
Hill finished second in receiving yards and tied for second in targets for the Dolphins on the night, but the highlight of his performance was a 12-yard touchdown grab off a deflection with just over three minutes remaining in the contest. It was only Hill's fourth TD reception of the season, while his yardage tally was his highest since Week 1. Hill's production has been on an upswing from a PPR perspective since Tua Tagovailoa returned from his stint on injured reserve, but the fleet-footed receiver will look to get back over the century mark for the first time in three months when Miami hosts the Jets in a Week 14 clash on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Makes most of three catches
Reed recorded three receptions on six targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins. He added one rush for 23 yards.
Reed got the job done early in the game, recording receiving scores of three and 12 yards by halftime. The Packers played from ahead by multiple scores for most of the contest, which limited Reed to only two targets in the second half. His lack of volume isn't unusual, and he now has under 30 receiving yards in three straight games. Reed is capable of big performances, but he's reliant on either big plays or reaching the end zone, leaving him as a boom or bust fantasy option.

Tim Patrick WR | JAC
Lions' Tim Patrick: Two catches Thursday
Patrick caught two of his three targets for 48 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Bears.
Patrick was able to record multiple receptions for the third game in a row, most notably notching a 30-yard catch in the second quarter. The wide receiver has now compiled nine catches for 129 yards over the last three contests while operating as the team's No. 3 option at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Eight catches in Thanksgiving loss
Nabers brought in eight of 13 targets for 69 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.
Nabers led the Giants in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, as head coach Brian Daboll made good on his pledge to get his top wideout the ball early in the game. Nabers drew three targets and got a carry on the Giants' first drive, and his overall target tally tied for his highest since the first meeting of the season with the Cowboys in Week 4. Nevertheless, Nabers failed to clear 70 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive contest and continues to mostly see short-area looks from all the quarterbacks he's played with. He'll next take aim at a Saints secondary capable of sticky coverage in a Week 14 home matchup on Sunday, Dec. 8.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Quiet in win
Lamb recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Giants.
Several factors came together to result in a disappointing day for Lamb. He uncharacteristically dropped a few of his opportunities early in the game, and he then appeared to suffer an upper-body injury that limited him across the second-half of the contest. The team didn't provide any official update or give Lamb an injury designation, though his practice status will be worth monitoring heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.
