Dotson failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

The 2022 first-round pick was targeted just once and went without a catch for the third time in the Eagles' last five games during Sunday's loss. Dotson has appeared in all 11 of Philadelphia's games this season, catching 10 of 18 targets for 194 yards and a touchdown across 359 offensive snaps. He's expected to operate as the Eagles' No. 3 wideout but carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

Shipley accumulated 106 kickoff-return yards and played seven of the Eagles' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

The 23-year-old from Clemson played more offensive snaps than Tank Bigsby (three) but still didn't record an offensive touch. Shipley has now gone without a carry in four of the Eagles' last six games, indicating he's operating as the team's No. 3 running back. He's expected to continue contributing as one of Philadelphia's top kick returners in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

The Buccaneers believe Mayfield (shoulder) to have suffered a sprained AC joint during Sunday night's loss to the Rams, though the results of the quarterback's MRI on Monday will confirm the nature of his injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mayfield injured his left shoulder during Sunday's game and was deemed doubtful to return at halftime, then quickly ruled out. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Tampa Bay has not yet ruled Mayfield out to play Week 13 against the Cardinals, but the team will certainly evaluate all options upon reviewing the results of his MRI. Teddy Bridgewater will lead the Buccaneers offense if Mayfield misses any time.

Bigsby rushed once for eight yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

The third-year back from Auburn played just three offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss, his lowest total since the Week 6 loss to the Giants. Bigsby has appeared in 10 games since joining the Eagles in early September, rushing 18 times for 164 yards while also accumulating 187 kickoff-return yards. He's expected to continue operating as the team's No. 2 running back in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

Hockenson had four receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

J.J. McCarthy's abysmal play at quarterback (87 yards passing, two interceptions) has made almost every Vikings receiver a non-factor for fantasy purposes. Hockensen at least is getting some dump-off passes (seven receptions in the last two games), but they are not resulting in much yardage. Hockenson's outlook isn't any better next week in a tough matchup at Seattle.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Atwell (hamstring) will have his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and the wideout is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Atwell will return from IR when first eligible, as McVay had previously hinted. He hasn't played since Week 7 while recovering from a hamstring issue, but even if Atwell is on something of a snap count in his return, he figures to handle his usual ancillary role behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in Los Angeles' wide receiver corps.

Thielen had a drop on his only target in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. He played just three snaps on offense.

Thielen has dropped a pass in consecutive games and has three drops overall this season, according to Pro Football Focus. He's arguably failed to secure more catchable balls than he has receptions (eight) this season. With Minnesota falling out of playoff contention, Thielen may see little playing time the rest of the season.

Higgins was not targeted while playing 27 of the Cardinals' 76 offensive snaps in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

The 25-year-old went without a target for the second time this season while operating as the primary backup to Trey McBride, who caught nine of 10 targets for 79 yards in the Week 12 loss. Higgins has now appeared in all 11 of Arizona's games this season, catching 16 of 20 targets for 162 yards. He's expected to contribute both offensively and on special teams in the Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Weaver caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

With Marvin Harrison (appendix) sidelined for the second consecutive game Sunday, the second-year pro from Colorado operated as Arizona's No. 3 wideout. However, that increased role didn't lead to production, as Weaver tallied the sixth-most receiving yards on the Cardinals in the Week 12 loss. The 25-year-old has now appeared in six games and caught three of seven targets for 24 yards across 130 offensive snaps. He's likely to continue playing a depth role in the receiving corps in the Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Hooper caught three of his four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.

During a game in which the Patriots' TEs were more of a focal point than usual, Hunter Henry recorded seven catches for 115 yards and a TD on 10 targets, while none of the team's WRs had more than two catches. As next Monday's game against the Giants approaches, Hooper's fantasy value remains modest with Henry as the clear top option for Drake Maye at tight end.
