Waddle brought in eight of nine targets for 144 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Waddle's long-awaited breakout performance was a sight to behold, with the previously struggling wideout posting season highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The 2021 first-round pick consistently gained significant yardage on his catches, and he recorded his second touchdown of the campaign on a 23-yard grab late in the third quarter. Waddle's production could still remain hard to trust from week to week given this year's inconsistencies, but he should remain heavily involved in a Week 13 Thanksgiving Night road showdown against the Packers.

Nabers secured six of nine targets for 64 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.

Nabers and the entire Giants offense struggled in the first half with Tommy DeVito sluggish in his first start since late last season. However, matters picked up in the second half with New York forced to go into pass-heavy mode, and Nabers ultimately finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The talented rookie didn't seem to experience any ill effects from the groin injury that had popped up late in the practice week, and he could have a chance for better production in a Thanksgiving Day road clash against the Cowboys after getting his first game with DeVito as his quarterback under his belt.

Evans brought in five of six targets for 68 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Making his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Evans finished with a team-high receiving yardage total while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The veteran wideout looked as healthy as he proclaimed he was coming into the game and contributed a 26-yard grab among his five catches. Evans, whose catch and yardage totals Sunday were his highest since Week 4, will next take aim at a vulnerable Panthers defense in a Week 13 road divisional battle.

Downs exited Sunday's game against the Lions with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Downs caught three of his six targets for 27 yards. In Downs' absence, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierceand Adonai Mitchell are available to pick up snaps at receiver.

Dulin (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Lions, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

The wide receiver was unable to catch his only target of the day before leaving the contest. With Josh Downs questionable to return due to a shoulder injury, Indianapolis is down to three healthy wide receivers in Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell.

Raymond (foot) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts.

The wide receiver and punt returner got injured on a third-quarter punt return. Raymond did not catch his only target on the day before exiting, though he did return two punts for 30 yards. Allen Robinson might see more snaps in his absence.

Shenault (back) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Arizona.

Shenault was hurt in last Sunday's win over San Francisco and sat out practice both Wednesday and Thursday before returning with a full session Friday. Despite his ability to participate in that final practice, the special-teams ace won't be able to suit up against the Cardinals. Shenault's absence will most impact Seattle's return game, and Dee Williams will likely be asked to handle kickoff returns in the former's stead.

Raymond is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 12 matchup against Indianapolis due to a foot injury, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Raymond's injury occurred on a third-quarter punt return. He got one target (which he didn't catch) in addition to returning two punts for 30 yards prior to his exit. If Raymond can't get back into the game Sunday, Allen Robinson could see more snaps on offense.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's clash against the Titans.

Sims was also a healthy scratch last week against Dallas. The veteran wideout has served as receiver depth while working primarily on special teams through much of the campaign, but the Texans have less need for his role with Nico Collins in his second week back from a stint on injured reserve. Even during the five weeks Collins was out, Sims logged just eight offensive snaps over three contests.

Scott (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Scott has played just two offensive snaps over his last two regular-season outings, and he'll be a healthy inactive for Sunday's contest. His next chance to play will be Week 13 against the Lions on Thursday, Nov. 28.
