Pringle caught each of his three targets for 33 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Giants.

The fumble came at the end of a long kick return, spoiling an otherwise solid day for Pringle, who was one of three Commanders WRs to finish in the range of 25-to-35-percent snap share with Curtis Samuel ejected for fighting. The rotation behind the top three suggests Pringle won't have much value even if Samuel, Terry McLaurin and/or Jahan Dotson misses time over the final month and a half of the season.

Crowder caught both of his targets for 12 yards in a 31-19 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Crowder, Dyami Brown and Byron Pringle each played 25-to-30 percent of snaps, splitting the No. 3 receiver role after Curtis Samuel was ejected for his role in a fight. Crowder had a 7-95-1 receiving line Week 8 against the Eagles but otherwise has just eight catches for 56 yards all year.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Monday that Thomas' knee injury is "going to take some time," though Allen didn't specify whether the receiver would require a stint on injured reserve, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

The Saints are coming off a Week 11 bye, but Thomas is still in recovery mode after he injured his right knee on the team's first offensive play of a Week 10 loss to Minnesota. He stayed on the field for the next play and recorded a reception, but he checked out of the game and visited the injury tent on the sideline before being ruled out for the rest of the day. Though the Saints haven't provided a proper diagnosis for Thomas' injury, Allen referred to it as a "significant" one week ago, making it unlikely that the wideout is ready to play this Sunday in Atlanta. Even if Thomas is ruled out ahead of the Week 12 game, he'll still be worth monitoring into Saturday, when New Orleans could place him on IR if there's an expectation he'll need at least four weeks to recover from the injury.

Hollins (ankle) didn't participate in practice during the portion of Monday's session that was open to the media, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Atlanta won't release its next injury report until Wednesday, but due to a Week 11 bye, the Falcons got a head start on their Week 12 prep by getting back on the field Monday for an unofficial session. Before the bye week, Hollins hadn't practiced in any fashion ahead of Atlanta's Week 10 loss to Arizona, so it's not the most encouraging sign for his status heading into Sunday's game against the Saints that he's not yet back on the field. If Hollins ends up missing a second straight game this weekend, Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge and Scotty Miller could all be in store for expanded roles behind No. 1 wideout Drake London.

Jones wasn't targeted during Sunday's 34-14 win against the Titans.

The 25-year-old had an expanded role the past few weeks but wasn't involved in the passing game Sunday with Zay Jones (knee) back in action. Tim Jones is likely a couple injuries to Jacksonville's receiving corps away from having a notable role in the team's aerial attack.

Jackson was a healthy inactive in Sunday's loss at Denver.

Jackson had been getting some playing time as a fourth receiver the past few weeks, but he looks stuck on the bench with the return of K.J. Osborn from a concussion.

Tucker caught two passes for 36 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Dolphins.

Tucker finished Sunday's contest behind only Davante Adams in targets from quarterback Aidan O'Connell, with the rookie wideout earning seven looks on just 24 offensive snaps. The career-high seven targets translated to just two receptions, however, one of which came on the Raiders' final drive of the game. Tucker has flashed big-play ability, but he's difficult to trust against a stingy Chiefs secondary in Las Vegas' Week 12 matchup.

Osborn had one reception for seven yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Denver.

Osborn returned after missing a game due to a concussion. He started opposite Jordan Addison and played on 71 of the offense's 75 snaps, so he was back to his full role. However, Osborn didn't see many targets with the Vikings struggling to pass the ball more than a few yards downfield.

Powell had three receptions for 32 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Denver.

With the return of K.J. Osborn from a concussion, Powell moved into the third receiver role and played on 44 of the offense's 75 snaps (compared to Osborn's 71 snaps). However, Powell was targeted more than Osborn (one catch for seven yards on two targets) as he appears to have a strong rapport with quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Powell's role should shrink to the fourth receiver role soon with Justin Jefferson close to returning from a hamstring injury.

Jones caught all four of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 34-14 win against the Titans.

Jones' four targets ranked fourth among Jacksonville's pass catchers, though the four receptions tied for second. The 28-year-old's knee didn't appear to be an issue after missing the previous five games, as he clearly worked as the Jags' No. 3 wideout and played 63 percent of the offensive snaps. Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk remain locked in as Jacksonville's top wide receivers, which likely leaves Jones as a volatile fantasy option.
