CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Gets back to full Tuesday
Lamb (ankle) practiced fully Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
He opened Week 12 prep with a limited listing on Monday's practice estimate due to an ankle injury, but Lamb was a full participant the next day and doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Thursday's contest against the Commanders. Both coach Mike McCarthy (per Jane Slater of NFL Network) and Lamb himself (according to Machota) expressed confidence in such an outcome Tuesday, with the wide receiver saying, "I'll be out there." Lamb will look to exploit a Washington defense that has given up the second-most touchdowns (15) and second-most yards per target (9.7) to wide receivers through 11 games this season.

Kadarius Toney WR | CLE
Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Snares pair of passes in Week 11
Toney reeled in both of his targets for 12 yards during Monday's 21-17 defeat against the Eagles.
After some down weeks prior to the bye in terms of playing time, Toney saw a slight uptick to above 20 percent of snaps for the first time since Week 6. He didn't produce much more, though he did handle a pair of carries for 14 yards in addition to his two grabs and served as the punt returner for the Chiefs over Mecole Hardman. Regardless, Toney's fantasy outlook isn't particularly bright the rest of the way.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Scores long TD on Sunday
Moore gathered in his only target for a 48-yard touchdown and tallied two carries for six yards during Sunday's 21-16 loss at Houston.
The Cardinals opened the scoring just 1:32 into the first quarter when Kyler Murray hit a streaking Moore for the wide receiver's longest catch of the campaign. However, Moore didn't see any other looks in the passing game, marking the second time in 11 games that he earned only one target. He'll turn his focus to a Week 12 matchup against a Rams defense that held him to 26 yards from scrimmage on seven touches back in Week 6.

Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Catches two passes
Mims brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Vikings.
Mims operated as the Broncos' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday, as his 31 offensive snaps were behind just Courtland Sutton (44) and Jerry Jeudy (39). Despite the recent increase in his workload, the rookie wideout's production has failed to catch up. The talent is there for Mims to make big plays in an offense that could use a spark, but it seems that working him into the scheme is not a major priority for the coaching staff. The 21-year-old will remain extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes when the Broncos host the Browns in Week 12.

Donovan Peoples-Jones WR | NO
Lions' Donovan Peoples-Jones: One target in team debut
Peoples-Jones was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 31-26 win over Chicago.
Making his Lions debut, the Michigan product logged just two snaps on offense compared to seven on special teams. Considering that Jameson Williams logged a season-high 68 percent of the offensive snaps, it seems that Peoples-Jones' snaps came at the expense of Kalif Raymond, who logged a season low. Peoples-Jones will need to take quite a few more snaps from one of Raymond, Williams or Josh Reynolds to start having any fantasy appeal.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Season-low snap share
Raymond caught one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's win over the Bears.
Raymond saw a season-low 20 percent of the offensive snaps, while Jameson Williams saw a season-high 68 percent of them and Donovan Peoples-Jones made his Lions debut. Raymond wasn't seeing enough playing time to warrant fantasy consideration in most formats to begin with, so any reduction in his role will push him further off the radar.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Lions' Josh Reynolds: Two targets against Bears
Reynolds caught one of two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's win over Chicago.
Reynolds has totaled four catches for 39 yards on seven targets over the past three weeks despite favorable matchups against the Raiders, Chargers and Bears. Meanwhile, Jameson Williams logged over half of the offensive snaps for the first time in his career last week in Los Angeles before shooting up to a nearly 68 percent figure against Chicago -- and snagging a 32-yard touchdown in the process. While Reynolds still finished second behind Amon-Ra St. Brown with a 73 percent snap share, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Williams jump Reynolds on the depth chart before season's end.

Mike Strachan WR | WAS
Mike Strachan: Back to practice squad
Strachan reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Strachan was elevated from the practice squad for a second straight game and saw just eight snaps on offense and three on special teams. He did not see a target. His next opportunity to get a chance on the active roster will be Sunday against the Titans.

Kyle Philips WR | LV
Titans' Kyle Philips: Makes one catch
Philips recorded one catch (on one target) for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars.
Philips saw a downturn in his involvement in the Tennessee offense, as he was on the field for a season-low 10 snaps. He had previously shown some rapport with quarterback Will Levis, combining to record 129 receiving yards across his previous two contests. The depressed state of the Titans offense will create inconsistencies in Philips' performance, but he should have the chance to bounce back in a Week 12 matchup against Carolina.

Chris Moore WR | WAS
Titans' Chris Moore: Sets up late score
Moore brought in his only target for 49 yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for 38 yards.
Moore led the Titans in yards from scrimmage despite getting only two touches. His first came on an end-around play early in the first quarter, which he took for the 38 yards -- the team's longest rush of the day. Moore capped off his performance with a reception deep down the field that ultimately helped set up Tennessee's second score of the contest. Despite the explosive performance, Moore can't be relied on, as he's yet to record more than two receptions in a game this season.
