Turpin recorded one catch for zero yards on two targets and returned one punt for 14 yards and four kickoffs for 111 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

For the first time in eight appearances on the season, Turpin failed to account for any yards from scrimmage. Though the two-time Pro Bowl returner will continue to make his greatest impact for Dallas on special teams, he looks like he'll still be a part-time contributor on offense as a gadget player. He was on the field for 23 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps Monday, placing him fourth among wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy.

Flournoy hauled in his lone target for a two-yard touchdown in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Though he finished with his second-lowest yardage output since Week 3, Flournoy was able to find paydirt on his lone target for quarterback Dak Prescott's fourth and final passing score of the night. Flournoy drew a start while CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were benched for the opening drive in a coach's decision, but Lamb and Pickens still ended up handily leading Dallas receivers in playing time. The 26-year-old took the field for 29 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps, with his 43 percent share narrowly placing him ahead of KaVontae Turpin (34 percent) for third among wideouts.

Smith caught two of three targets for eight yards and failed to record a single rushing attempt in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

Smith continued his role as the de facto No. 2 running back in Week 11 with Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined, but he was not a major part of the Chiefs' offensive plans in the contest. The rookie played 12 of Kansas City's 70 offensive snaps, while teammate Kareem Hunt dominated the backfield snap share with 56 snaps. Week 11 marked just the third time this season that Smith did not handle a single carry. Despite the Chiefs praising the SMU product for his playmaking ability earlier in the season, the team has not seemed committed to using him more in Pacheco's absence. Smith remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even if Pacheco remains sidelined for a Week 12 matchup against the Colts.

Luepke carried once for five yards and added three receptions for 36 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Heading into Monday, Luepke had just six total touches through the Cowboys' first nine games, but the fullback saw his most involvement of the season as Dallas cruised to an easy win. Luepke played just 16 of Dallas' 67 snaps on offense, however, and he's still likely to offer most of his contributions as a blocker when he's on the field.

Thornton caught one of his two targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

Thornton made one big play Sunday, catching a 61-yard deep ball from Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter. The 25-year-old wideout has proven he can make explosive plays when called upon by Kansas City, but he has seen his snap counts decrease since teammate Rashee Rice returned from his six-game suspension in Week 7. In Week 11, Thornton played just 16 of the Chiefs' 70 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Chiefs wide receiver. Based on his limited usage in the Kansas City's aerial attack, the Baylor product remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. With that said, Thornton will look to make the most of his opportunities again in Week 12 when the Chiefs host the Colts.

Dart (concussion) is in line to participate in Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Dart didn't practice in any capacity en route to being ruled out for the Giants' loss to the Packers in Week 11, so it will represent a notable step in the right direction if he's able to handle even limited reps Wednesday. Of course, to be eligible for a return to action Sunday versus the Lions, the rookie first-round pick would need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist. Jameis Winston will be in line to draw another start in the event that Dart isn't cleared in time to suit up Week 12.

Gray caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

Gray played 36 of the Chiefs' 70 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Travis Kelce (55) and ahead of Robert Tonyan (8). The 26-year-old did not play a big role in Kansas City's passing attack, doing very little with the three targets he saw in the contest. Meanwhile, Kelce dominated from a statistical standpoint, recording nine catches on 13 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown. Barring an injury to Kelce, Gray is not a trustworthy option for fantasy purposes. Next up for the Chiefs is a matchup at home against the Colts.

Mitchell failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

Mitchell appeared in his first game of the season Sunday, operating as the No. 3 running back behind Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith while Isiah Pacheco (knee) was inactive for the contest. The veteran played just seven of the Chiefs' 70 offensive snaps, while Hunt and Smith handled 56 and 12 snaps, respectively. Mitchell remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Colts.

Worthy caught three of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

Worthy caught three catches for the second straight game, but like in his last outing, was unable to get much going with his touches. The second-year wideout has not been a significant factor in Kansas City's passing game with teammate Rashee Rice in the lineup, despite Worthy averaging around six targets per game since Rice's return from suspension. Worthy has not had many breakout performances this season, but does typically offer a decent floor based on his involvement in the Chiefs offense. The 22-year-old will look to turn things around from his underwhelming day in Denver when the Chiefs host the Colts in Week 12.

Zappe could serve as the backup quarterback for Cleveland in Sunday's game against Las Vegas, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Cleveland's quarterback carousel took another turn last week when then-starter Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion and was replaced by Shedeur Sanders. The practice week begins Wednesday with Sanders expected to take reps with the first-team offense while Gabriel remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. That means Zappe could be in line for his second activation from the practice squad and become the No. 2 to Sanders.
