Beckham (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Beckham's absence comes as no surprise after he was injured at the end of a 51-yard reception in the fourth quarter of last Thursday's 34-20 win over Cincinnati. The Ravens have managed Beckham's practice workloads even when he's been in no danger of missing a game, and head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that the wideout's shoulder issue is "not going to be a long-term thing," per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site. Even so, Beckham's fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on his status leading up to Sunday's game against the Chargers. If cleared to play, Beckham could be relied up to absorb some of the target volume vacated by tight end Mark Andrews (ankle/fibula), who is expected to be placed on injured reserve later this week.

Goodwin (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Goodwin hasn't played since Week 9 and has been stuck in concussion protocol ever since the Browns traded Donovan Peoples-Jones to Detroit on Oct. 31. Rookie Cedric Tillman has taken over a starting job alongside Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore, but Goodwin eventually could poach snaps from Tillman once he's cleared to play.

Higgins (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Head coach Zac Taylor said that some of the Bengals injured players were improving and would return to practice Wednesday. Higgins apparently won't be among that group and thus appears in danger of missing a third straight game when the Bengals face the Steelers on Sunday. He's unlikely to put up his typical numbers whenever he gets healthy, as the Bengals are stuck with Jake Browning under center after Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury during last Thursday's loss at Baltimore.

Brown (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brown failed to practice in any capacity last week and ultimately sat out this past Sunday's 21-16 win over the Cardinals. He still isn't ready to resume practicing as the Texans begin their preparations for a Week 12 home game against the Jaguars. In his last two games prior to the injury, Brown compiled 325 yards and one touchdown. He has two more opportunities to return to practice and will likely need to take the field in at least some capacity to suit up for Sunday's clash between AFC South rivals.

Hardman won't practice Wednesday due to a sprained thumb, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Hardman reeled in both of his targets and gained 12 yards in Monday's 21-17 loss to the Eagles, but he sustained the injury at some point along the way. The wideout will have two more opportunities to resume practicing in preparation for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Richie James (knee) is the top candidate to return punts and kickoffs if Hardman is unable to occupy that role this weekend.

Slayton -- who isn't practicing Wednesday -- has a neck injury rather than an arm injury, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Slayton was ruled out of this past Sunday's win over Washington with what was described as an arm injury after taking a big hit shortly before halftime. The Giants have since classified Slayton's injury differently, but his status will be worth monitoring heading into this Sunday's matchup with New England nonetheless. He will have two more opportunities to practice this week before the Giants potentially give him an injury designation.

Slayton (arm) won't practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Slayton now has two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Patriots. If the wideout is unable to play this weekend, Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Sterling Shepard and Isaiah Hodgins would be in line to lead the Giants' wideout corps.

Hollins (ankle) will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Hollins didn't practice at all ahead of the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, but after Atlanta's Week 11 bye, the wideout is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. If Hollins is able to return to action this weekend, he'll only be an option in deeper fantasy formats. Through nine games this season, Hollins has generated a 17-247-0 receiving line on 29 targets.

Jones caught both of his targets for five yards in Monday's 21-17 win over the Chiefs.

Jones saw a significant increase in playing time Monday, as he played 57 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps. The veteran wideout had averaged a 26 percent snap share in his three other games with the Eagles, so his larger snap count could be a result of him being more acclimated to the team coming out of their Week 10 bye. With that said, Jones was unable to get much going behind A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith. The 34-year-old should remain difficult to trust when the Eagles square off against the Bills in Week 12.

Zaccheaus failed to secure his only target in Monday's 21-17 win over the Chiefs.

Zaccheaus operated as the Eagles' No. 4 wideout in the contest, playing behind A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith and Julio Jones. Monday's game marked the fifth time that the veteran has been held without a catch in 10 games this season. With such limited usage, Zaccheaus should remain a risky bet for relevant fantasy production when the Eagles host the Bills in Week 12.
