  • Matt Landers WR | TEN

    Matt Landers: Cut by Carolina

    Landers was cut from the Panthers' practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Landers had been with Carolina's practice squad for the majority of the season, but the team has now decided to part ways with the 24-year-old wideout. The rookie also spent time with Seattle's practice squad earlier in the year but has yet to appear in an NFL game.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Reels in three passes

    Wicks was targeted four times and caught three passes for 43 yards in Sunday's 27-19 victory over Kansas City.

    The 43 yards Wicks racked up were his fewest over his last four appearances, but they were still the third most accumulated by any Packers pass catcher in Week 13. Wicks remains fourth on the wideout depth chart, but he is producing when given the opportunity, and he could get a few more of those in Week 14 if Christian Watson (hamstring) is unable to go.

  • Byron Pringle WR | WAS

    Commanders' Byron Pringle: Empty stat line

    Pringle went without a target in the Commanders' 45-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Pringle played a season-high 28 percent of the team's snaps on offense, but he was never targeted on any of Sam Howell's 23 passing attempts. The veteran wideout remains stuck on 13 receptions on 18 targets for 156 yards and no touchdowns on the 2023 campaign, with his next opportunities coming in Week 14 against the Rams.

  • Jared Wayne WR | HOU

    Jared Wayne: Dealing with injury

    Wayne (undisclosed) was placed on the Texans' practice squad injured list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Wayne will now be unable to practice with the team for at least the next four weeks. In a corresponding move, Houston signed fellow wideout Davion Davis to its practice squad.

  • Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Set to miss time

    Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Tuesday that Kirk will "miss some time" due to the core muscle injury that he suffered during Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

    Kirk departed following a 26-yard catch on the Jaguars' first offensive play of the game with what was termed a groin injury at the time. He was ruled out after halftime. Pederson already has said Kirk won't be available for Sunday's game at Cleveland, so Jacksonville's top wide receivers in Week 14 will be Calvin Ridley, Zay Jones and Parker Washington. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Kirk may require surgery to address the issue, which likely would sideline him until the later stages of the playoffs, assuming the team makes a run.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Busts out after Kirk injury

    Washington caught all six of his targets for 61 yards and a touchdown during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals. He also returned two kickoffs for 51 yards and one punt for no yards.

    Christian Kirk exited with a groin injury on Jacksonville's first drive, and Washington took advantage of the opportunity. The rookie sixth-round pick didn't have a catch and had played just 12 offensive snaps in his three prior appearances this season, but he played 59 percent of the offensive snaps Monday and was second on the team in receptions. The specifics of Kirk's injury aren't yet known, but if he misses more time Washington will likely serve as the Jags' No. 3 wide receiver behind Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones. Trevor Lawrence also suffered a high-ankle sprain versus Cincinnati, and that injury looms large for the outlook of Jacksonville's offense as a whole.

  • Jalen Guyton WR | LV

    Chargers' Jalen Guyton: One catch in win

    Guyton caught one of his three targets for five yards in Sunday's 6-0 victory over the Patriots.

    Although he logged the third most offensive snaps (38) among Chargers wide receivers, Guyton was hardly used offensively. The 26-year-old has brought in one or fewer receptions in three of his four games played this season and has only tallied double digits in receiving yards once in 2023. At this point, it would be an anomaly if Guyton saw a significant uptick in targets, even with the consistent playing time.

  • Van Jefferson WR | WAS

    Falcons' Van Jefferson: No targets in win

    Jefferson didn't record a target during Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets.

    Despite playing his most offensive snaps (33) since Week 9, Jefferson failed to record a target for the second time this season and the first time as a Falcon. Over his last four appearances, Jefferson has hauled in just two of seven targets for 27 yards. Atlanta's passing attack struggles to keep even Drake London and Kyle Pitts relevant in fantasy, so Jefferson's value remains limited, at best.

  • Davion Davis WR | WAS

    Davion Davis: Finds new opportunity

    Davis signed with the Texans' practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Davis previously spent time in Houston in 2020, recording one 17-yard catch in two contests. The 27-year-old was last with the Cardinals and also has had stints with the Browns and in the USFL.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Targeted twice against Texans

    Mims caught one of two targets for five yards and carried the ball once for eight yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans.

    After averaging a 57 percent offensive snap share since Denver's Week 9 bye, Mims saw his playing time decrease in Week 13 and played just 31 percent of snaps. As has been the case throughout the 2023 campaign, the rookie's role in the offense is not consistent enough to warrant much consideration for fantasy purposes. Mims will continue to struggle to see meaningful usage when the Broncos face the Chargers in Week 14.
