Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Set for team debut Monday
Mingo is active for Monday's game against the Texans, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Mingo was moved from Carolina to Dallas at the trade deadline on Nov. 5, but he understandably was held out Week 10 with only days to acclimate to a new offense. With another week of practice under his belt, he'll make his Cowboys debut Monday, but with Cooper Rush handling QB duties for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb (back) the clear top option in the passing game, Mingo may be hard-pressed to produce. In 24 appearances with the Panthers, the 2023 second-round pick recorded 55 catches and no touchdowns on 111 targets.

Jalen Brooks WR | ARI
Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Not suiting up for MNF
Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's Week 11 tilt versus the Texans, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Brooks has been inefficient as a pass catcher this season, hauling in just eight of 24 targets. He logged over half of the Cowboys' offensive snaps in each of the team's past four games but won't take the field Monday. Brooks' inactive status coincides with the team debut of Jonathan Mingo, who was acquired in a trade with Carolina on Nov. 5.

Dante Pettis WR | NO
Saints' Dante Pettis: Reverts to practice squad
Pettis reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Pettis was elevated to the Saints' active roster for the second consecutive week ahead of Sunday's win over the Browns, catching his lone target for nine yards across seven offensive snaps. The Washington product also played five special-teams snaps and returned two punts for 54 yards, including a 53-yard return that was initially ruled an 88-yard touchdown before being called back for stepping out of bounds. He's expected to rejoin the Saints' active roster following the team's Week 12 bye.

Kevin Austin Jr. WR | NO
Saints' Kevin Austin: Reverts Monday
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Austin appeared in his second consecutive game in the Saint's Week 11 win over the Browns, catching one of his two targets for 18 yards while playing 43 total snaps (39 offensive and four on special teams). The Notre Dame product played behind just Cedrick Wilson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling on Sunday, and he's expected to be elevated to the Saints' active roster again for the Week 13 matchup against Rams.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Active for Monday Night Football
Lamb (back) is listed as active Monday against the Texans, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Lamb played through a shoulder issue Week 10 versus the Eagles, but the loss of Dak Prescott (hamstring) for the season has left the wide receiver working with QB Cooper Rush, resulting in six catches (on 10 targets) for just 21 yards in that contest. On Saturday, Dallas tacked him on to its practice report as limited due to a back injury, but despite the development, national reporters like Adam Schefter of ESPN and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network and even a team source via Jane Slater of NFL Network indicated he'd suit up, barring a pregame setback. Now that his status is confirmed for Week 11 action, Lamb will be available to the Cowboys offense, but the aforementioned context doesn't ensure his usual prowess will shine through.

Terrace Marshall Jr. WR | MIA
Terrace Marshall: Back with practice squad
Marshall reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Marshall appeared in his first game Sunday since joining the Raiders' practice squad in late October, failing to record a stat across seven offensive snaps. The 2021 second-round pick played in nine games with the Panthers in 2023, catching 19 of his 33 targets for 139 yards. He could rejoin the Raiders' active roster if their wide-receiver room faces injuries later this season.

Velus Jones Jr. WR | SEA
Velus Jones: Reverts to practice squad
Jones reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jones was elevated to the Jaguars' active roster ahead of Sunday's loss to the Lions for the first time since joining Jacksonville's practice squad in late October. However, the 2022 third-round pick didn't play a single snap, despite being active. He's appeared in one game with the Bears this season, catching his only target for eight yards and carrying the ball twice for 11 yards.
-
Kadarius Toney WR | CLE
Kadarius Toney: Back with practice squad
Toney reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Toney joined the Browns' active roster for the first time this year ahead of Sunday's loss to the Saints, taking one carry for minus-7 yards across just six offensive snaps. The 2021 first-round pick from Florida took the spot of Jaelon Darden, who was a healthy scratch in Week 11.
-
Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Another quiet game
Washington caught one of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 52-6 loss to Detroit.
The 2023 sixth-round pick's 10-yard reception Sunday is his lone catch in two games with Mac Jones under center for the Jaguars. However, Washington should be more involved going forward since Gabe Davis was ruled out for the season due to a torn meniscus, though the fantasy upside will be limited as long as Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is sidelined.

Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Browns' Elijah Moore: Appears on Week 12 injury report
The Browns listed Moore as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cleveland didn't hold a practice session one day after Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans, but Moore would have had his reps capped had the Browns taken the field. The Browns aren't likely to hold anything more than walk-through sessions or light practices Tuesday and Wednesday, but assuming Moore is listed as either a limited or full participant on those days, he should be ready to play in Thursday's game against the Steelers. In the three games since Jameis Winston has taken over for Deshaun Watson (Achilles) as the Browns' starting quarterback, Moore has produced a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, with his yardage total exceeding his combined output (136 yards) from Cleveland's first seven games of the season.
