Cooks hauled in three of seven targets for 16 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 27-20 win against the Giants.

In his first game action since Week 4, Cooks didn't seem to be on the same page with QB Cooper Rush for large portions of this Week 13 divisional clash, but the two eventually connected for a two-yard touchdown on the Cowboys' first possession of the second half to extend the lead to 20-10. And with Dallas clinging to a 27-20 score at the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter, they again hooked up for a three-yard gain on third-and-2 to effectively salt the game away. Cooks will aim for an improved rapport with Rush when the team next takes the field Monday, Dec. 9 versus the Bengals.

Hill brought in six of nine targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

Hill finished second in receiving yards and tied for second in targets for the Dolphins on the night, but the highlight of his performance was a 12-yard touchdown grab off a deflection with just over three minutes remaining in the contest. It was only Hill's fourth TD reception of the season, while his yardage tally was his highest since Week 1. Hill's production has been on an upswing from a PPR perspective since Tua Tagovailoa returned from his stint on injured reserve, but the fleet-footed receiver will look to get back over the century mark for the first time in three months when Miami hosts the Jets in a Week 14 clash on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Reed recorded three receptions on six targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins. He added one rush for 23 yards.

Reed got the job done early in the game, recording receiving scores of three and 12 yards by halftime. The Packers played from ahead by multiple scores for most of the contest, which limited Reed to only two targets in the second half. His lack of volume isn't unusual, and he now has under 30 receiving yards in three straight games. Reed is capable of big performances, but he's reliant on either big plays or reaching the end zone, leaving him as a boom or bust fantasy option.

Patrick caught two of his three targets for 48 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Bears.

Patrick was able to record multiple receptions for the third game in a row, most notably notching a 30-yard catch in the second quarter. The wide receiver has now compiled nine catches for 129 yards over the last three contests while operating as the team's No. 3 option at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Nabers brought in eight of 13 targets for 69 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Nabers led the Giants in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, as head coach Brian Daboll made good on his pledge to get his top wideout the ball early in the game. Nabers drew three targets and got a carry on the Giants' first drive, and his overall target tally tied for his highest since the first meeting of the season with the Cowboys in Week 4. Nevertheless, Nabers failed to clear 70 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive contest and continues to mostly see short-area looks from all the quarterbacks he's played with. He'll next take aim at a Saints secondary capable of sticky coverage in a Week 14 home matchup on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Lamb recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Giants.

Several factors came together to result in a disappointing day for Lamb. He uncharacteristically dropped a few of his opportunities early in the game, and he then appeared to suffer an upper-body injury that limited him across the second-half of the contest. The team didn't provide any official update or give Lamb an injury designation, though his practice status will be worth monitoring heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

Conley (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's injury report, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Conley had missed the 49ers' Week 10 game against the Bucs due to a hamstring injury, but he has played in each of the last two games. However, it appears he's now working through a knee injury, and his practice participation Friday will indicate his status heading into Sunday night's game against the Bills.

Williams gathered in five of seven targets for 28 yards and took two carries for 18 yards during Thursday's 23-20 win against the Bears.

After racking up at least 50 receiving yards in each of the Lions' previous three contests, Williams fell off a bit Week 13, despite tying his third-highest target count of the campaign. He did match Amon-Ra St. Brown for the team lead on that front, but all of St. Brown (5-73-0), Tim Patrick (2-48-0 on three targets) and David Montgomery (3-36-0 on three targets) ranked above Williams as pass catchers, and TE Sam LaPorta hauled in both of Jared Goff's TD passes. On a positive note, though, Williams recorded a season high in rushing yards with the help of a 15-yard carry that included him hurdling a Bears defender. His next chance to produce will be next Thursday versus the Packers.

Washington (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Washington was limited in Wednesday's practice, so it appears he is progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocols. However, in order to play against the Chargers on Sunday, Washington will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist. That could happen as soon as Friday's practice when the Falcons will assign injury designations to players on the injury report.

Hodge (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Hodge wasn't able to practice Wednesday due to a neck injury. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers. In the three regular-season games before the Falcons' Week 12 bye, Hodge logged three catches (on four targets) for 31 yards.
