Thompkins failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Colts.

Thompkins four offensive snaps Sunday accounted for his lowest total of the season. The second-year wideout also played eight special teams snaps in the contest, calling for a fair catch on both of his return opportunities. Thompkins' minimal usage on offense keeps him far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Panthers.

Irwin reeled in his lone target for 25 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

Irwin played a very small role against the Steelers, despite seeing the field for the second-most offensive snaps (31) behind Ja'Marr Chase (38) and ahead of Tyler Boyd (27). The fourth-year wideout has found himself on the field more with Tee Higgins (hamstring) missing the last three games, but his one target Sunday was his lowest after seeing a total of nine targets in the two weeks prior. If Higgins can return in Week 13, Irwin would assume his usual depth role at receiver. The Bengals visit the Jaguars in Week 13.

Shakir caught three balls on five targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.

Shakir comes with some risk on a week-to-week basis because the Bills offer so many other weapons in the passing game, but he's now had 45-plus yards in four of his last five games while never falling below 66 percent of the offensive snaps. As teams continue to shade attention toward studs Stefon Diggs and Dalton Kincaid, there will be open seams available to secondary options like Shakir and No. 2 wideout Gabe Davis, who posted a 6-105-1 line in Sunday's loss. Shakir is far ahead of any of the receivers underneath his No. 3 spot in the WR corps, as Deonte Harty carries a 13-113-1 line and Trent Sherfield comes in at 7-53-0. Shakir, meanwhile, sits at 25-410-2, proving useful for those in deeper leagues.

Dortch hauled in three of nine targets for 27 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Rams.

With Michael Wilson (shoulder) out the last two games, Dortch has been the Cardinals wide receiver to profit alongside Marquise Brown, compiling a combined 9-103-1 line on 17 targets. Dortch also received a red-zone target from Kyler Murray for a second straight contest en route to his first TD, a seven-yard catch, of the campaign. There's no telling when Wilson may return to the lineup, so Dortch could be a decent fantasy dart in the short term, while fellow wide receiver Rondale Moore continues to be relegated to his 4.3 touches per game.

Moore recorded two catches on three targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Rams.

With Michael Wilson (shoulder) sidelined for a second consecutive game, Moore had no problem racking up offensive snaps (53 of 71). He fell shy of 40 yards from scrimmage for the eighth time in 12 appearances this season however, leaving him with averages of 4.3 touches for 34.2 total yards per game and two total TDs. Whenever Wilson returns to the lineup, Moore may find himself on the outside looking in for consistent snaps and targets.

Moore gathered in all three targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Raiders.

Moore hadn't tallied more than a pair of catches in a game since Week 3 and hasn't finished with more receiving yards since then, either. That said, neither his receptions nor receiving yards are particularly impressive from a fantasy standpoint. The second-year wideout hasn't found pay dirt since Week 2 and can safely remain on the waiver wire in most formats.

Watson caught one of three targets for three yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-17 victory against Las Vegas.

Watson scored for a second consecutive week, but it marked his only catch of the day on just three targets, so that still likely isn't enough for him to jump onto the fantasy radar in most formats. He did, however, draw 11 targets last week and has been targeted four times in the red zone in his last three games, so the veteran wideout could be worth a look in really deep formats.

Young (abdomen) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Young managed to practice Tuesday after missing the past two games due to an abdomen injury. If the 24-year-old is able to play versus the Cowboys on Thursday, he can provide value on special teams.

Eskridge (ribs) was a nonparticipant at the Seahawks' practice Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Eskridge saw his participation regress after he was able to log a limited session Monday, making his chances to play Thursday versus the Cowboys slim. He will receive an official game designation following Wednesday's practice.

The Vikings waived Harry on Tuesday.

With Justin Jefferson (hamstring) activated from injured reserve Tuesday and due back following the Vikings' Week 13 bye, Harry was no longer needed. In nine games with Minnesota, Harry played 23 offensive snaps and another 49 on special teams. He didn't earn a single pass-game target.
