Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Kupp (ankle) has a chance to play in Sunday's game at Arizona, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

Kupp departed in the second quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Seahawks and eventually was diagnosed with a low right-ankle sprain. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Monday that Kupp was considered day-to-day, wording that was mimicked by McVay. There's a high likelihood that Kupp will operate with practice restrictions this week, with his listing on Friday's injury report telling for his potential to suit up Week 12.

The Packers listed Watson (shoulder) as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Following Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers, the Packers didn't hold an official practice Monday for what marked the first day of prep leading up to a Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit for Week 12. Watson appeared on last week's injury report with the same listed shoulder issue, but he entered the game against the Chargers without a designation and proceeded to play 56 of 72 offensive snaps en route to finishing with two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown on four targets. With no reported setbacks during the game, Watson's listed limitations Monday were likely just maintenance related.

Kupp is considered day-to-day after suffering a right low-ankle sprain in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kupp has a history of ankle issues, but his reported diagnosis of a low-ankle sprain has to be considered good news in the grand scheme of things. He was injured early in the Week 11 win and was unable to return to the contest, despite being spotted on the sideline in uniform testing out the ankle. The Rams will exercise caution this week in determining Kupp's status for next Sunday's game in Arizona, but the wideout looks to have a realistic shot at playing.

Lamb was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to an ankle injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

The Cowboys merely conducted a walk-through Monday, one day after Lamb played a relatively standard 79 percent of the offensive snaps in a blowout win over the Panthers while catching six passes for 38 yards and one touchdown on nine targets. No reports surfaced during the game that Lamb was playing through an injury, and head coach Mike McCarthy relayed Monday that the wideout's ankle issue "is not of high concern" as Thursday's game against the Commanders approaches, per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. McCarthy added that Lamb won't be asked to "open up" his activity until Wednesday, so Lamb could be listed as limited again on Tuesday's practice report.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he's viewing Jefferson (hamstring) as "questionable" for the team's Week 12 game against the Bears, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The Vikings host the Bears in the Monday night game Week 12, so the team will still have a full seven days before deciding whether Jefferson is ready to put an end to his six-game absence. The wideout resumed practicing with the team Nov. 8, but he remains on injured reserve and will have to be added back to the 53-man roster by Nov. 29 in order to be eligible to play again this season. Jefferson has been listed as a limited participant in all of his practice appearances to date, and though he doesn't appear to have suffered a setback with his strained right hamstring, O'Connell acknowledged that the Vikings "have to be smart" about bringing the star wideout back, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. With a Week 13 bye coming up following the matchup with the Bears, O'Connell also noted the possibility of taking a cautious approach with Jefferson and having him sit out another game to afford him another "free" week of healing before he makes his return to the lineup.

Shenault caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Shenault hadn't played since Week 6 due to an ankle injury. Although he managed merely three offensive snaps, Shenault got the ball on two of them. Still, as a depth utility option on one of the league's worst offenses, Shenault holds little fantasy value.

Mingo caught one of six targets for six yards in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Mingo finished second on the Panthers in targets yet barely gained any yardage. Although Mingo is playing more than veteran wideout DJ Chark, rookie quarterback Bryce Young's usual struggles to connect with anyone other than Adam Thielen leaves Mingo's value lukewarm at best heading into Week 12's road game versus the Titans.

Chark played 44 offensive snaps yet was not targeted once in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Chark's performance is a new low in what's been a widely disappointing season with the Panthers. While rookie quarterback Bryce Young has found success targeting top wideout Adam Thielen, he's struggled mightily going to just about anyone else. Without a single look his way Sunday, Chark's stock has somehow dipped further as he now prepares for the team's Week 12 game at Tennessee.

Jennings failed to bring in his lone target in Sunday's 27-14 win over Tampa Bay.

Jennings was on the field for 33 percent of the 49ers' offensive plays Sunday, but he still went catch-less for the third time this year. San Francisco has been leaning on its top talent to reignite the team with two convincing wins coming out of the bye week. Unfortunately for Jennings, that has meant little work for he and the rest of the 49ers' role players. The 26-year-old has recorded just one reception over his last three games, which should keep him off of most fantasy radars heading into Thursday's matchup against the Seahawks.

Brown caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

An early ejection for Curtis Samuel didn't have much impact on Brown's playing time, as Byron Pringle and Jamison Crowder also took on some of the responsibilities of the No. 3 WR role. There's not much fantasy potential in an offense where even the top two wideouts -- Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson -- are struggling to produce.
