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.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: No limitations expected Monday
Collins won't be under any restrictions with his snap count Monday against the Cowboys in his return from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After he closed Week 11 prep with full practices Friday and Saturday, Collins didn't take a designation into Monday, though it wasn't immediately clear if the Texans would monitor his workload in his first game since Oct. 6. Schefter's report should ease any lingering concerns fantasy managers may have had about activating Collins, who looks in line to immediately settle back in as quarterback C.J. Stroud's top target. Before injuring his hamstring Week 5, Collins had led the NFL with 567 receiving yards.

Tyquan Thornton WR | KC
Tyquan Thornton: Finds new opportunity
Thornton signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Thornton was waived by the Patriots on Saturday after a disappointing three-year run in New England. The Baylor product was selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the team but never lived up to expectations. Thornton had been a healthy scratch each of the last two weeks, but he'll now have an opportunity for a fresh start in Kansas City.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Held catchless Sunday
Pearsall failed to bring in either of his two targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.
Pearsall was nowhere to be seen on Sunday after scoring the first touchdown of his professional career Week 10. The rookie still logged a healthy 37 snaps on offense (59 percent), but he didn't receive nearly as many targets as a week prior (six). Pearsall should continue seeing a handful of targets while operating as the 49ers' No. 3 receiver behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings against the Packers next Sunday.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Held in check by Steelers
Bateman caught two passes for 30 yards on five targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.
Baltimore's passing game had trouble getting in rhythm Sunday as Lamar Jackson had his least efficient game of the season. Bateman still drew a reasonable number of targets, but his numbers suffered nonetheless. However, Bateman is having a career year with personal bests in yards and touchdowns with six games to go. Next up for Bateman and the Ravens is the Week 12 Monday Night Football showdown with the Chargers.

Adonai Mitchell WR | NYJ
Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Has long reception in win
Mitchell had one reception for 33 yards on two targets and also had one carry for two yards in Sunday's win at the Jets.
He had six targets last week with Michael Pittman out with a back injury, but Mitchell saw a reduced role against the Jets. Mitchell played on just 12 of the offense's 70 snaps but has a rapport with Anthony Richardson on deep passes. He may not get many targets as the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver as long as the other options are healthy, but he's trending in the right direction.

Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Titans' Tyler Boyd: Two catches in loss
Boyd recorded two catches (on three targets) for 34 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.
Boyd was on the field for 58 percent of offensive snaps and ended a two-game stretch without a target. Both of his catches and all three of his targets came on a drive late in the fourth quarter, highlighted by a 30-yard gain. Boyd has reached 40 receiving yards in a game only once on the campaign.
