Evans (hamstring) was spotted on the field Monday during the portion of the Buccaneers' practice that was open to the media, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Coming out of their Week 11 bye, the Buccaneers held a bonus practice Monday, but the team won't issue its first official Week 12 practice report until Wednesday. Evans missed the Buccaneers' last three games due to a right hamstring strain, but the club's decision not to place him on injured reserve implied that he was expected to return to action this coming Sunday against the Giants. Evans' ability to practice in any capacity Monday is a good sign that he's on track for a Week 12 return.

Corley caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

Corley was on the field for 12 snaps while Xavier Gipson played 27, suggesting Gipson still has the edge over the rookie third-round draft pick for playing time in the slot. Neither depth option has produced much this season with Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Breece Hall accounting for the vast majority of the Jets' offense on a consistent basis. Corley has just three catches heading into the Week 12 bye.

Mims caught both of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons. He added three carries for four yards.

Though Mims played just 14 of the Broncos' 62 offensive snaps Sunday, the second-year wideout was able to make the most of his opportunities against the Falcons. The 22-year-old scored his first touchdown of the 2024 campaign on a 12-yard pass from quarterback Bo Nix in the waning moments of the first half. With Mims seeing 12 touches over the past three weeks, his increased usage in Denver's offense is worth monitoring. With that said, the Oklahoma product remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Broncos head into a Week 12 matchup against the Raiders.

The hamstring injury that forced Mooney out of Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos isn't viewed as serious, a source tells Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.

Atlanta could send Mooney in for an MRI just to ensure he's not dealing with anything more than a mild strain of his hamstring, but the wideout may not have to miss any time because of the injury. Mooney will benefit from a well-timed Week 12 bye, giving him added time to heal before the Falcons return to action Sunday, Dec. 1 versus the Chargers. Mooney finished the loss to Denver with two catches for 27 yards on four targets while playing a season-low 58 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps due to the injury.

Franklin caught both of his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.

Franklin's touchdown against Atlanta was his second of the season, as the rookie wideout continues to play in a rotational role in the Broncos' passing offense. The Oregon product played 44 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, and he's played over 50 percent of snaps in just one of his 10 games this season. Though Franklin's development thus far has been a positive sign for his future NFL success, his limited usage makes him unreliable for fantasy purposes. The Broncos head to Las Vegas for a matchup with the Raiders in Week 12.

Boutte, who was on the field for 73 of a possible 76 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught four of his six targets in the contest for 33 yards.

Boutte, who has been targeted six times in each of his last four games, caught four passes for the second straight week in the process. Though the 2023 sixth-rounder has topped out at 59 receiving yards over the course of his nine outings to date, Boutte's steady workload gives him enough of a weekly floor to merit lineup consideration in deeper fantasy formats.

Humphrey caught all four of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.

Humphrey's trip to the end zone was his first of the season, while his 52 receiving yards accounted for his highest total of the 2024 campaign. The veteran wideout's playing time, however, dipped in Week 11, earning a 44 percent offensive snap share after playing 59 percent of snaps in Week 10. Though Denver's offense is seemingly finding its way as the season progresses, Humphrey remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes based on his inconsistent usage. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old will look to build upon this performance when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 12.

Davis is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear in his knee during Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Davis will undergo further medical testing Monday before the Jaguars provide an update, but if a meniscus tear is confirmed, the wideout would require surgery. A partial meniscectomy or trim would likely entail a multi-week recovery, while a full meniscus repair would sideline him for the rest of the season. Either way, Davis looks like a candidate to go on injured reserve, which would further deplete a Jaguars pass-catching corps that has already lost Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the remainder of the campaign. The Jaguars are on bye Week 12 before returning to action Sunday, Dec. 1 against the Texans.

Wicks was targeted once and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears.

Wicks did not record a reception in the final game Green Bay played before its Week 10 bye, and that was the case again Sunday. Wicks has shown he can produce when given the opportunity, but he simply is not getting those right now, as over the last three games his team played he averaged just 22.7 snaps per contest while totaling only six targets. It might take an injury to Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs or Christian Watson for Wicks to regain a prominent spot in the game plan.

Higgins (quadricep) racked up nine receptions (on 13 targets) for 148 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.

Higgins returned from injury in style after gaining a season-best 148 receiving yards while scoring his fourth touchdown in six games this year. Both he and Ja'Marr Chase (7-75-2) commanded 13 targets apiece, with both producing WR1 fantasy lines in the wideouts' first game together since Week 7. With a dominant game under his belt and an extra week of rest ahead, Higgins should be a full-go when the Bengals return from the bye to face Pittsburgh on Dec. 1.
