  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Sits out practice Tuesday

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Doubs (concussion) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Doubs remains in NFL's five-step concussion protocol and hasn't seemingly taken any steps forward in his recovery from the brain injury he sustained in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers. With just one more practice this week to prove his health before the Packers host the Dolphins on Thursday, Doubs looks to be trending toward missing his second game of the season. The wideout previously sat out a Week 5 win over the Rams due to a team-imposed suspension.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Limited, but plans to play Thursday

    St. Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

    Following Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts, the Lions have held a pair of walk-through sessions to begin Week 13 prep. After being listed as a non-participant Monday, St. Brown took a step forward in his estimated activity Tuesday, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up Thursday against the Bears. For his part, St. Brown told Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com that he's planning on being ready to go for the Thanksgiving Day game.

  • Easop Winston WR | NYJ

    Easop Winston: Lands with New York

    The Jets signed Winston to their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Winston has been bouncing around practice squads for the better part of the last four seasons. He's appeared in four career regular-season games, but none have come since the 2021 campaign.

  • Justin Watson WR | HOU

    Chiefs' Justin Watson: Another dud in Week 12

    Watson tallied one reception (on two targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 30-27 victory versus Carolina.

    There likely aren't many fantasy managers utilizing Watson on their squads, and for good reason. Despite sporting the heaviest snap share among wideouts on the team (64 percent), Watson has just 18 catches for 218 yards and no touchdowns to his name. He's turned in no more than three catches in a game all season and hasn't tallied more than two in any of the last three weeks. Unless he finds pay dirt, a feat he has yet to accomplish, Watson's weekly fantasy upside remains minimal.

  • Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Quiet effort versus Panthers

    Smith-Schuster reeled in one of his two targets for six yards during Sunday's 30-27 victory versus the Panthers.

    While Smith-Schuster was third among wide receivers in terms of reps -- 41 snaps for a 55 percent snap share -- he was unable to do much with them. The 28-year-old wideout has turned in just one catch in each of the last two games, totaling a combined 14 yards. Barring injuries to other top targets in the passing attack, Smith-Schuster can likely be left on the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy formats.

  • Stanley Morgan WR | TEN

    Stanley Morgan: Joins Titans' practice squad

    Tennessee signed Morgan to its practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Morgan was cut by New Orleans prior to Week 1, but now he's found a new opportunity with a different team. It might take an injury for him to be elevated to the active roster before the end of the season, though.

  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Status for Week 13 uncertain

    Head coach Sean McVay said that Rams are still gathering more information following Robinson's arrest Monday, and a decision hasn't been made regarding whether the receiver will play Sunday in New Orleans, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Robinson was arrested Monday at approximately 5:13 a.m. in Woodland Hills, Calif. on suspicion of driving under the influence after he was stopped when he was observed driving on a highway at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. McVay said Tuesday that he has spoken to Robinson following his arrest, but the Rams aren't yet willing to commit to the veteran wideout being available for Week 13. The 30-year-old has suited up in each of the Rams' 11 games thus far, recording 26 catches for 384 yards and six touchdowns on 50 targets. His potential absence this Sunday would free up more opportunities for Tyler Johnson and Tutu Atwell behind top receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

  • Malik Heath WR | ATL

    Packers' Malik Heath: Hauls in touchdown pass

    Heath was targeted twice and had two receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.

    Heath capitalized on the lopsided score and the departure of Romeo Doubs (concussion) in the third quarter to record both his first reception since Week 5 and his first touchdown of the season. He will bump up the pecking order if Doubs is unable to play Thursday against the Dolphins, but even in that scenario he would be facing a stingy pass defense as the fifth option at his position.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Back in box score

    Wicks was targeted twice and had one reception for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.

    Wicks was shut out in back-to-back appearances leading up to Sunday's contest, but he got back on the board with a long reception in the fourth quarter of the game. Opportunities have been lacking for Wicks, who has just three 20-yard receptions in 2024 after racking up 11 of those across 15 regular-season games in 2023. He could see a boost in targets in Week 13 if Romeo Doubs (concussion) is unable to play, but he will enter with just three receptions for 36 yards across his last four appearances, and he will take on a Miami defense that has shut down wideouts as well as anyone.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Contained in Week 12

    Watson had one carry for four yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.

    Watson entered Sunday's contest on the heels of a career-best 150-yard performance, but he was targeted only three times in Green Bay's lopsided win, and a drop on a potential 49-yard touchdown pass right before halftime proved particularly costly for fantasy players. Watson did lead Packers receivers in snaps for the first time all season in Week 12, and he could be busier than usual again if Romeo Doubs (concussion) is unable to go Thursday against the Dolphins. Either way, Watson will be facing a Miami defense that has contained wide receivers as well as any team in the league.
