Palmer (ankle) will be limited at practice Friday and listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

After being deemed limited Wednesday, Palmer logged a 'DNP' a day later, with the wideout's return to a limited session Friday offering hope that he could be available this weekend. Palmer has caught two passes in each of his last five contests -- a pace that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Samuel (elbow/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Samuel, who was also inactive Week 12, will target a potential return to action Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Bengals. With seven catches (on nine targets) for 81 yards and a TD in six games to date, Samuel is off the fantasy radar, though his continued absence this weekend will impact Buffalo's kick return game.

Brown caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in a 31-28 loss at Dallas on Thursday.

Brown has four or fewer targets in seven straight games, after getting five or more in each of Kansas City's first five contests. He's been efficient with his limited chances, but his snap shares have landed between 33 and 44 percent each week since Rashee Rice returned from suspension. Brown figures to continue in his part-time role Week 14 against Houston.

Bateman finished without any receptions and logged just one target in Thursday's 32-14 loss to Cincinnati.

Bateman at least played 73 percent of snaps on offense, returning to his usual workload after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury. He's now at just 6.1 yards per target on the season, down from a career-high 10.5 YPT last year (with nine TDs on 72 targets). Bateman has taken a big step back along with the rest of Baltimore's offense, but there's no hint yet of losing the No. 2 WR job when healthy. Next up is a Week 14 home game against Pittsburgh.

St. Brown (ankle) is likely to be considered week-to-week as the Lions approach their stretch run, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, St. Brown is believed to have suffered a low-ankle sprain during Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers and thus isn't expected to land on IR. At this point, the star wideout's status for the Lions' Dec. 4 game against the Cowboys is cloudy, as he continues to be evaluated. If St. Brown is unable to play against Dallas, however, Jameson Williams would be in line to lead Detroit's Week 14 WR corps, with Isaac TeSlaa and Tom Kennedy also in the mix to see added snaps/targets.

Iosivas brought in one of two targets for a 29-yard touchdown in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

Iosivas was due for added opportunity in Joe Burrow's return from a nine-game absence due to a toe injury, as Tee Higgins was sidelined due to a concussion. However, the third-year pro surprisingly was out-targeted by No. 3 receiver Mitchell Tinsley, who drew nine looks from Burrow, albeit while turning just two of them into receptions. Nevertheless, Iosivas made excellent use of his one catch, recording his second touchdown of the campaign late in the third quarter to extend a 19-14 lead for the Bengals. Iosivas may have some serious competition for No. 3 receiver snaps from Tinsley in a Week 14 road matchup against the Bills, a game Higgins should have a good chance of being active for.

Flowers brought in two of seven targets for six yards and lost a fumble in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

Flowers not only finished with his lowest yardage total of the season, but his fumble at the Ravens' 43-yard line with just over four minutes remaining led to a Bengals field goal and essentially snuffed out any hopes of a comeback for Baltimore. His target count was actually his highest since Week 8, but a combination of a surprisingly effective Bengals defense and Lamar Jackson's struggles with accuracy helped lead to a highly inefficient line for Flowers. He'll aim to bounce back against an inconsistent Steelers secondary in a Week 14 home matchup on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Chase brought in seven of 14 targets for 110 yards in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

Chase co-led the Bengals in receptions while easily setting the pace in receiving yards and targets on a night when Joe Burrow returned from a nine-game absence. The elite wideout was operating without Tee Higgins (concussion), and Chase finished with his fourth-highest target tally of the campaign while eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the fifth time on the season. Higgins will likely be back for a Week 14 road showdown against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7, but Chase should naturally remain Burrow's clear No. 1 target in a contest that could feature plenty of passing.

Pickens caught six of 13 targets for 88 yards in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City. He also caught a two-point conversion.

The 13 targets led the Cowboys, but Pickens otherwise took a back seat to CeeDee Lamb and his 7-112-1 line on nine looks from Dak Prescott. Pickens was on the other end of Prescott's two-point conversion toss in the fourth quarter, however. The fourth-year wideout has already established a new career high with 1,142 receiving yards on the season in only 12 games, and he'll look to keep padding his totals ahead of potential free agency in the spring in a Week 14 clash with the Lions.

Lamb caught seven of nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.

George Pickens led the Cowboys in targets once again, but Lamb paced the team's pass catchers in receptions and yards, capping his performance with a 15-yard TD from Dak Prescott in the first quarter. It's the fourth time in nine games this season Lamb has hit for triple-digit yards, and the issues he had hanging onto the ball against the Eagles last week were nowhere to be found. The 26-year-old wideout will take a 51-744-3 line on 81 targets into a Week 14 clash with the Lions.
