Worthy caught four of six targets for 61 yards in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys. He added 13 yards on two carries.

Most of the damage came on a 42-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that helped set up Kansas City's final score of the day. Worthy's 61 receiving yards were his highest total since Week 4, and he's gone six straight games without getting into the end zone, posting a 22-256-0 line on 37 targets over that stretch while chipping in another 33 rushing yards. The second-year speedster seems unlikely to break out Week 14 against the Texans.

Rice caught eight of 12 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys. He added two rushing yards on his lone carry.

It's the second two-TD performance in six games this season for Rice, who hauled in the first and last of Patrick Mahomes' four touchdown passes on the afternoon. The 12 targets also tied Rice's season high, and he'll take an impressive 42-486-5 line on 59 targets into a tough Week 14 clash with the Texans.

Wallace (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Bengals.

Wallace has failed to haul in a catch in each of the Ravens' last four games, and he'll be a healthy scratch Thursday for the first time this season. His next opportunity to play is Week 14 against the Steelers on Sunday, Dec. 7, though Wallace is unlikely to play in that game unless the Ravens need depth at wide receiver or an additional option for returning kickoffs and punts.

Gipson (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Bears.

Gipson suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys and was unable to practice during the week in any capacity. In Gipson's absence, Will Shipley should be the team's primary kick returner, and Jahan Dotson and Britain Covey seem the likeliest candidates to serve as the punt returner for Friday's matchup against the Bears.

Kennedy caught all four of his targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers. He added 102 total return yards on three kickoff and one punt return.

Brought up from the practice squad for the second time this season with Kalif Raymond (ankle) sidelined but actually active this time around, Kennedy got thrust into a bigger offensive role than expected after Amon-Ra St. Brown left the game in the first quarter and didn't return due to an ankle injury of his own. The four grabs were a career high for Kennedy, who came into the contest with a 14-195-0 line on 26 targets over 24 NFL games, all with Detroit. St. Brown could end up missing another week or two, per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, which could land Kennedy in a regular spot in three-wide sets alongside Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa in a Week 14 clash with the Cowboys.

Brown (groin/knee) was listed as full on Thursday's injury report.

One day removed from being limited after his practice window opened earlier this week, Brown already is back to all listed activity, but it remains to be seen if the Commanders will activate him from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Such a transaction will need to occur by Saturday afternoon, assuming the team doesn't rule him out on Friday's practice report.

TeSlaa caught both of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.

The rookie had all but disappeared from the game plan, catching just one of four targets for 11 yards over the previous seven games, but TeSlaa got a golden opportunity when Amon-Ra St. Brown left the Thanksgiving game in the first quarter with an ankle injury and didn't return. TeSlaa took advantage, hauling in a 17-yard TD from Jared Goff in the third quarter for his third score of the season on only six receptions. Per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, coach Dan Campbell suggested after the loss that St. Brown would likely miss a game or two, and with tight end Sam LaPorta (back) and veteran wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle) already on the shelf, TeSlaa could find himself working as Detroit's WR2 behind Jameson Williams in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

Williams caught seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers. he also lost five yards on his only carry.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) left the game in the first quarter and didn't return, pushing Williams into the WR1 role for the Lions. The fourth-year player didn't disappoint, setting new season highs in catches and receiving yards while hauling in his fourth TD in the last five games on a 22-yard toss from Jared Goff in the second quarter. Per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, coach Dan Campbell suggested after the game that while St. Brown's ankle injury wasn't believed to be too serious he could miss a game or two, so Williams could head into a Week 14 clash with the Cowboys' shaky secondary as the clear top downfield option for Goff. On the season, Williams has delivered a 38-706-6 line on 61 targets through 12 contests.

Tucker (knee) practiced fully Thursday.

After logging a limited session Wednesday, Tucker's return to a full practice a day later sets the stage for him to be available Sunday against the Chargers. With seven catches (on 18 targets) for 75 yards and a TD over his last two games, Tucker's recent level of involvement in the Raiders offense gives him a degree of fantasy utility heading into Week 13 action. Overall, the 2023 third-rounder has compiled a 41-530-5 line on 64 targets through 11 games.

Lockett (ankle/quad) was limited at practice Thursday.

Lockett worked fully Wednesday, so the wideout's downgrade in participation Thursday makes his status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. With 12 catches (on 14 targets) for 139 yards over his last three games, Lockett has of late emerged on the fantasy radar in deeper formats.
